Unleash the dark horse from within

Very few people have this amazing ability to turn around other people's lives and make a positive impact on various counts. Of this few, even fewer realise how much of an impact they have already had and could have.

I can also proudly say that I was once told by my boss that I had this knack of identifying the best possible person for a job. Horses for courses. Naturally, my expectations are very high. Not alone in business, but also in life. Very wrong, but sadly true.

Due to the rigors of high expectations and associated failures, eventually, we end up diluting our ambitions and passion out of frustration. And it has a chain effect and you feel knocked out until one day you rise up to see how many dominoes you have left behind flat on the ground. I have seen it myself and can today see more dominoes behind me than ahead of me. Imagine myself spiraling down in life like the water down a kitchen sink and wishing someone would plug the drain.

But, my life has seen a bit of turn around too. And naturally, owing to my high expectations, all my races ended up being run by this single horse. Or so I liked it to be. Because I believed it was the best talent on the track. I even mesmerised myself to only see this horse win all the time. Even if it meant making it run all alone along the course. May be the horse feels bored without a challenge in life to deal with. After all, isn't a horse made to win races against all odds? Little does the horse know or realise that I am rightly proud myself to have identified it as the best one to run any race. Whether the horse knows its impact on me or not, I know what it has done to my life and what its capable of doing. I want this horse to know that despite its talent and capabilities, I only want to see it winning all the time. Such is an impact of it on my life. And this is the only way I can be thankful to it by wishing away all of life's problems away from it.

Dark horses are rarely spotted (pun) and I did this one long long back and now wished it stopped worrying about the lack of challenges or anything else and instead just ran its race. After all, I would only want to see it winning always.

- The one who wouldnt like to ever see it lose against anyone - atleast any more.
