There is a time at one point of life when you are self-motivated to work round the clock because you have found what is going to define you – as if you were born to earn fame and name, if not in the world then among your loved ones. Everyday is a learning and with each passing day, as you toil your way towards your goal, you get closer to it. On the other hand, each day you may find yourself in a new grind of things that might look like an Everest. The climb will only remind you larger the goal, bigger the challenges will be.
In the process, everyday will be a self revelation – something new about yourself, adding a new dimension to your personality and traits, some of which might pinch your ‘calling’ (because you will hate yourself for discovering it). No one is perfect, but every action you take is towards achieving perfection. Trust me, such moments might either deflate you or make you stronger. I guarantee you will not be the same individual ever.
The best thing to happen at this junction is to realise that everything is under your control – you get to chose whether you are a warrior or a wimp. The journey will be exhaustive and will emotionally drain you but it is only your close ones who will always believe in whatever you do. There is always an angel around, just identify her!
The angel doesn’t demand that you give her the due importance, just LISTEN to her. Keep the vision alive and BELIEVE in it, no matter what. If you can see it, you can achieve it. Your ordinary efforts on a regular basis will integrate into extraordinary results. Rome was not built in a day. One must have the vision of a craftsman who can visualise his product before giving it the final shape.
The vision will be hazy during the start but the mist around it will be removed only when you keep on moving with the process. The hardest part of the journey will be the beginning. The vision should excite you. Remember the moments shaping your future will never come back in life, so just enjoy it to the fullest. When you look back, the ride should be full of happiness and joy. It should crave you to go back. Keep spreading the positive energy because you are responsible for the aura that you create. If you don’t enjoy the process, the environment around you will be dull. Just be the Geet of Jab We Met. (Those who haven’t seen the movie, go watch it. Movies are always a good stress buster, don’t judge the story of any movie rather take a lesson from the dialogues. Something will always strike you!)
Every thing happens for a reason. We have been accustomed to look at the dull side so that we are not ‘over-confident’ of the future. Well there is something called optimism. Look at the other side of coin and remember ‘Good things happen with good human beings’. Because your calling is greater than anything on the planet, nothing should deter you. Great human beings have always been optimistic but not over-confident.
It is not at all difficult to follow such a path. Remember when you were in love. How meticulously you planned each step. You were so excited from within that your sparkling eyes could tell everyone the story. You would take a piece of criticism against your love, because you see a future in him (or her). The excitement doesn’t fizzles out any moment but just drifts along as you tread upon the journey. The hardships of family and society doesn’t appear to be big because you are determined about the future. When you look back, there is always a smile on everyone’s face. Same holds for any goal that you have set to achieve. Remember it’s another love story, it’s another marriage, it’s the next commitment. Now the way you watch movies will change, I bet.
