I am so irrelevant. Still, I make so much of effort to being noticed. I don’t understand why I have this urge to be famous. To be known as better than most. Why can’t I just live a peaceful life. When I help one person why do I shout out loud to the world as if I made a difference to millions of people. I have a tendency to blow my achievements out of proportion. It seems I have an identity crisis. It pains to accept this but my happiness is dependent on other people’s view about me. The only good thing is that; I am coming to terms with life that I am so so irrelevant in this world to make a noise.
There is no rocket science. To live well is to live every day. When you do this you construct a quality life; brick by brick, day by day. Finally, in the end when you look back, you will feel proud of doing justice to your presence in the human body. Yesterday is over and the future is unknown. The only control you have is today. Do your best every day. Live as if it’s going to be the last day of your life. To best way to inspire the whole world is to be inspired by your own living.
A dip is a must to rise again with force. You can’t rise and rise without going down once in a while. So, treat your fall as an opportunity to scale new heights. Every time you slip, introspect the reason and take corrective action. This will help your fall to be smaller and rise to be higher. It will contract the dull period and expand the growth phase. It is not limited to career and finance. It applies even to relationships. Respect the turn of events in life. If you do, life will too reciprocate.
Hang on. It’s never over. Wait for the opportunity to fight back. It will come just when everyone thinks it is over. Prepare yourself for that moment to strike back with all your power. Fear feeds on signs of weakness. Be strong even when things are looking bleak. That’s your only weapon to win. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl. Keep moving so that you don’t show signs of weakness. Sometimes, even the evil forces respects our resolve to stand strong in times of adversity and they step back. Remember, it’s never over.
Think before you make any promise. But once you do, make sure you fulfill them. It doesn’t matter if the person you made those promises is living or dead. It doesn’t matter whether that person is watching you or not. It doesn’t matter if your ritual of fulfilling promises affects the other person anymore or not. Your soul is watching. Do it for yourself. At times, you may become weak and want to ignore them but continuing it will actually make you stronger. Make fewer promises but once you do, fulfill them for life.
I know you need support. I know, at times you need others to care for you. This is the easy part; to expect. The difficult but better way is to become a support. To care unconditionally. Once you cross this bridge of expectation versus giving, you will reach a different world. You will become hundred times stronger to take the load of your near and dear ones and also the world. When you become dependable, you will not feel the need to be dependent.
Many a times, life gives us a second chance. Sometimes, a third or even more. All of us feel it at some point of time in our lives. Things could have gone wrong but they didn’t. We experience a close shave. What are we doing about it? Treat them as signals; to live a better life. Do your best every single day. Make a difference to the world. Be grateful to live another day. Never forget the chance you get. You are doing good. Ask yourself; can I do better?
Winners are different. They are made of special genes. It’s called discipline. It’s called courage. It’s called perseverance. It’s called humility. It’s called vision. It’s called hard work. It’s called empathy. It’s called positivity. It’s called never give up. They were not born with such genes. They made it themselves. This means anyone can become a winner. They just have to create such genes in self. It’s not tough. It just needs a different mindset.
Faith can do miracles. But for that faith must be unconditional. Infact, any discussion on the validity of faith in itself creates a doubt; like this sentence itself. It is invisible and yet, the most dominant part of our lives. Sometimes, we apply faith as a matter of convenience and on situational basis. It doesn’t work that way. We cannot prove our faith. Faith doesn’t need your words. It is connected with the soul. Mostly, if you have faith; you don’t ask for miracles. Only then, they actually happen.
It was enough. It started to feel embarrassing. When he saw around, he realized life gave him so much. He was lucky. From that point on, he stopped demanding more from life. He decided to give it back. Caring for people took precedence to asking for love. Listening to other people’s story became more important than sharing his. Being successful took a back seat as he became the driving force to help others achieve their dreams. The whole perspective changed. The only regret he had was; why didn’t he realize it earlier.
