Reset

I successfully log in our system through my Novell password this morning. I was halfway through it when suddenly I was prompted to change my password. All employees are made to change their passwords every 3 months.  It seemed that I changed just recently though. After successfully setting my new password, the system asked me to log in once more. I tried several times using the new password but I don't know why I can't get through. Finally after many failed attempts I got a message saying that my account was locked or something like that. I tried to ask help from our IT technician but I was directed to the helpdesk so they can remotely reset my password. The guy who answered my call guided me through the process. After a successful log in, I was happy that I was able to enter just in time the result of one urgent urinalysis.

Thinking through this, I guess life is sometimes filled with instances like that. We are presented with some situations like forgotten passwords which can be changed anytime so as to have another chance to start all over again. But even if life presents us with chances for renewal, we seldom take heed the call and just ignore it. We might ignore the 3 chances of changing the password which when bypassed will temporarily cut out our connection with the system. Same goes in life, we may be too caught up with a lot of distractions which prevents us from seeing the real score. We are too happy with the present that we don't care what will follow later on. We opt to ignore. Later on, we hope that there's someone who can save us from this despair. Sometimes, it is really beyond our control, we stare into heaven and hope that someone could save us. We hope that there's somebody out there to do the password resetting for us. But I guess it isn't like that. We have to do what is expected from us. This is just me thinking aloud....
