They are winning not because they are strong but because I am a novice. I am losing today because my purpose is not to win but to play to my strength. Every day I am progressing and my game is improving. They are stuck because rather than working on their game they manage to find someone weaker. I am not far from that day when I could beat them hands down but I would prefer not to play with them. I would rather find someone who is better than me and help me sharpen my skills even more.
It seems I am lost in the crowd. There is so much rush. The queue is unending. They say it’s safe to follow them all. That way I will be one of them and accepted by them. Otherwise I will be left out. I don’t want to take this risk. So, I am standing with them. I am physically there but my mind is wandering. It says I don’t belong to this place. Time will tell; I follow them or go my own way. I know what I want but I lack the courage to accept it.
The race is on. A never ending race. People want you to participate. There are other players too. At the finish line starts another race. If you run fast, you may also eventually win it. You may hear a lot of claps all along the way but the music may stop at the end of it; the music of the soul, which wanted to go somewhere else. You need to know; the road to stardom is mostly a lonely one but the path to self discovery is always accompanied by the soul. Make a choice.
Realistic people are mediocre; dreamers are show stoppers.The world wouldn’t move ahead if we all were realistic. If people living in stone age did not dream, we wouldn’t be witnessing the information age today. Everyone seems like a fool at the stage of dreaming. Realistic people never achieved anything. They simply enjoyed the results achieved by those who dreamt. Dream big and dedicate your life to achieve it. After all, reality is just a dream away.
A truth is a truth and lie a lie. While a few lies spoken with a good intent and benefit of someone else can be forgiven, but it should not become a norm. There is power in truth. It even brings respect to people who confess their past mistakes and lies. Truth brings peace; a lie creates stress. Truth gives us courage; a lie makes us fear. Yes, speaking the truth can disturb you for a few days but speaking a lie may haunt you for life. Make your choice well.
Most people never live and then they fear death. While some live life so fully every day that there is no fear to die tomorrow. Death is anyways inevitable. Why fear then? In fact, it should then be a reason enough to make every moment worth it. It should motivate us to give our best before it’s over. Age shouldn’t be a barometer of how long we lived; happiness should be. If we are ready to go any moment, it will mean we lived it well.
I know my weakness but you don’t. So, I confuse you with my words and camouflage my actions. I have been doing so since ages and I am pretty good at this. However, I am getting tired of it. Off late, I am not at peace with myself. I don’t want to pretend anymore. I don’t want to hide anything. I want to be honest to myself and with you. I am making a new beginning. I guess that’s the right thing to do.
Mistakes and errors are part of life. Before we become upset or lose our temper, we should see the intent of the other person. If it’s clean, it’s worth forgiving. When we do this, the other person also understands and becomes more careful next time. Yes, some people can take advantage of this; but when they do, there mistakes are not ignored. We all have learnt from our mistakes in the past. Give others a fair opportunity.
Every day is a lesson that yesterday was important to make today better. Today will become a yesterday tomorrow. So, before another day goes in the past; use it effectively. Twenty fours in itself may not be much but it compounds pretty fast day after day and years pass. Plan your day well. Review your routine. Do the important things. To change your future, change today.
Billions of people dream every day. There are only a few who wake up to accomplish them. Dreaming is not enough. Action is required. Focus is required. It is important to let go of many things to make it big at something. We must not let instant gratification of day to day activities ruin the possibility of meaningful long term achievements. Start on your dream to make it a reality. When you do this, you win at the starting point
