Pain of the thorns in the feet, when the head wants to look at the sky

Are you forced to look down often to take out the thorns that have attached themselves to your feet, when you were looking towards the sky? The constant nagging pain of having to deal with small thorns everyday, affects the focus and determination to keep looking at the sky and aspirations to reach there sometime. You keep getting pulled down towards the ground and have to deal with these thorns very often, which might eventually take you away from your goal of reaching the sky.

Both professionally and personally, this situation is true. There are numerous thorns that you need to deal with constantly in life which challenge you every time. The basic expectation from a family or employer is that they provide you a way or a road, where you can tread peacefully, where there are no / least number of thorns and you can concentrate on your goals. But what happens if you are constantly pulled down by thoughts or fears or piercings of the thorns on the way, which drains your energy, your spirits and forces you to think about the pain you need to go thru everyday.

Do you wear a shoe or protection and ignore that there are thorns on the way? Are you not bothered to clear the way for others to follow without having to bother about the thorns? Is the family or employer ready to clear the way or is intelligently ignorant of the whole thing? Do you having a shoe make you safe and ignore that there could be larger thorns which might pierce the shoe someday? What is the responsibility of the family or employer towards this?

These questions when they remain unaswered, forces people to stop taking risks and aim higher. They are forced to look down and keep out a watch for the next thorn, which means they cannot afford to look up. The loosers are both - individual and the other party. An individual can shift tracks, but tracks cleaning themselves and becoming more friendly towards the person who treads on it, is difficult.

This is where the culture, the environment, trust and transparency, principles come to the foreground.
