Is this true - where there is a will there is a way?

I have been thinking upon this phrase for sometime now. I have always believed in it. I have always followed the path it shows. But now due to certain circumstances I am currently in I have started questioning it. May be I think a lot.

You would try your best. And that best is obviously going to distinguish you from others around. You would want specializing in something. This is very important to grow fast and higher in your career. You have started loving something related to your work. And then your commander-in-chief would ask you to work upon something where you would have to make a fresh start. And you are again back to same starting position as you were earlier, in a different race. I would explain the situation with a small analogy.

You are a very good biker. You drive bikes like crazy. For sure, you are not the world champion but still you are among the best around and you are constantly improving. You love biking. You are passionate about it. You have all the things that are required for you to becomes the best, literally the best in the field of bike racing. You could be the number 1 in that someday. Who would not dream about something of that kind? I would. Even if I would not be a number 1 but still would be near to it..not very near to it?...but certainly that depends..doesnt it?

Now, someday, you are asked to pick up a F1 racing car and asked to get into a race with the biggies around. And now you have to go with this decision because you dont have any choices to make, you are not authorized. You had the will - to become a bike-racer. You had the start. For the first time in your life you had thought of something and decided based on your own thoughts, your own beliefs. But now everything is changed. Not that the Formula 1 doesnt have challenges but that was never your dream. Not that if you tried hard you could not be a winner in F1 but that was never your interest. Was it?

I could go on and on. But the point is - first there has to be a way and then only can you accumulate your will power. There has to be an interest upon which your will would build on. There are certain things that you dont want to compromise with. I have always stated - never chase someone else's dreams. Analyze yourself and try figuring out whats the best for you and when you are sure ... go ahead but does this world give you that freedom? I am not sure.

There is a fighter inside everyone. There is one in me too. And he would not compromise over his will. There are ways without the will but he would not chose them. He has that arrogance, he has that attitude...he has that ego! He would try to prove himself right. He would try to prove the phrase - "Where there is a will, there's a way!" right and then lets see how far does he succeed. Life is a mix of successes and failures.

Sometimes, you dont have that much freedom but whatever you have is to be exploited to the extreme and rest all is to be left un-thought. I dont know what to write more, I guess I have spilled enough out of my confused mind and I would stop but seriously I have started doubting the phrase, hope its not proved wrong!!!
