Your failure and success – Cuckoo to Corporate

One can become what one wants and that is how nature supports every life form on earth. But unfortunately many do not understand this cardinal message and would resort to blaming fate, destiny, and even God.

Look at the way the brood parasitic birds are made. Cuckoo and many other passerine birds are known to lay their eggs in the nest of crow and other birds and would smartly make the crow or other birds to incubate and nurse their young ones. The fact is that young one's cuckoo grows faster than the chicks of the host bird. The question is why the chicks of cuckoo grow faster than a crow? The reason being, cuckoo cannot be under the care of crow for a longer time and is dangerous for cuckoo chicks. Hence the evolution has helped the cuckoo to grow fast and escape from crow nest much before the chicks of the host bird grows.

We need to look at the above wonderment of nature from another angle. Cuckoo is in fact cheating or deceiving the crow. But still, nature has favoured cuckoo to grow fast and escape. It means nature helps the cuckoo to effectively deceive the crow. Why is the deceiver supported by nature and not the victim – the crow?

In fact, in nature, cuckoo has chosen to be a brood parasitic bird due to some reason. To be successful in its chosen method of breeding, it would have tried to evolve and become successful with the advantage of growing fast. But the crow, on the other hand, would not have tried to evolve to break its innocence and knowing its eggs from the eggs of the cuckoo.

The point to be learned is that when you blame your fate or destiny or someone for your failure or inability you would continue to be so and never ever outgrow from such style. On the other hand, even those who cheat you or outsmart you are constantly perfecting such art and therefore win over you. If you are not interested in developing the required level of smartness to overpower those who cheat you and do injustice to you, you may end up nothing but lamenting at destiny. Be alert to understand such people and develop such art.

Nature supports you in the best possible way. It is your choice whether you want to be a winner or victim. If you want to be a winner through quality and merit or through other means or by being alert and assertive in knowing such people well, nature supports you fully. If you wish to remain victim also, you will be rendered full support by nature.

When you resorts to blaming destiny and fate, remember you have failed to evolve and that is why you complain. It is not due to the smartness of others you fail but only due to your inefficiency and lack of the required qualification. Once such truth is understood and accepted, acquiring and improvising such qualities become easy.

It is only you make your destiny and what and how you wanted to be.

Nature fully supports you. It is your thoughts, actions and wishes are only shapes your fate and attitude. The fact may be that you have not yet understood. It is the time you understand and do the needful so that neither you fall victim nor you will have to blame fate or destiny.
