That contagious feeling of a LOSER!

Recently certain developments made me feel like an absolute Loser, and obviously the other resultant feelings of being depressed, dejected and disappointed followed. Not able to cope with the feeling, I thought I should make it contagious and meet some dear friends on whose shoulders I wanted to cry, seek solace and sympathy, and some motivation that all is not lost, and I could still do it. All that I needed was some luck, and then everything would be right.
These words would motivate me, and that too coming from a dear friend would surely make you live up to his or her expectations rather than listen to the same resolve from your heart. It is funny, but the same statements echo from your heart and you lift up yourself from the mess you get into. Things get back to normal, and you feel great.
So I called up my first friend, who was busy on another call. So, I called up his office to find out that he was very much there, so I assured myself that I had a shoulder to lean on, and decided to just land at his office. As I entered his office, he came out to the reception and escorted me to his room, saying , “You are an Angel”, and I think god has sent you to me.
Well maybe, but I have come to share some moment with you, and discuss about I, me, myself to you, Is what I instantly quipped. There was a lull, and he broke the news like a thunder, “I am headed for a separation” and that hit me like a shock. I started comforting him, and being a patient listener to his sob stories. I left his office giving him hope that he could surely tide through this crisis, anx to get on with life. “I felt like a loser, now I have a person to count on, thanks so much for your kind words,”, he told me.
Now I was thinking of who to call, and whose shoulder to seek, because my mission had failed completely a t the first location. I went o meet another friend, and now of the opposite gender. We met at a coffee shop, and as usual, I was late. So, first the barrage of abuses for being late, and as these settled, she was concerned about her finances and poured her heart out. Again, I got into the rescue mode telling her things about financial planning and all that.
Wait a minute, I was the one to be seeking shoulder as a loser, and here the two people that I met up with seekd comfort on my shoulder. I remembered a lesson from school. A beggar goes to a king, seeking alms, only to find the king , asking god for health, wealth and prosperity. The beggar thought, when the king is himself begging for something that I wanted to beg from, why should I beg here, let me also pray to god and seek the same health, wealth and prosperity.
For resolutions, and voices of advice, I decided to place my ear on my heart, and henceforth listen to my inner voice. Follow the instructions, rather than seeking external help.
