When we don’t have anything we prove ourselves by working hard, taking chances and making the impossible possible. However, when we achieve a little success, acquire a little wealth, we become more and more defensive. We get into the protection zone. We start playing safe. We fear the future. All this kills innovation and potential. Don’t fear. Build something new. Walk your dream. If you have come here, you can go far.
When you ask the society – Why? It won’t answer. Usually, it is the society which raises question. The so called society shows its power by feeding on the mindset of cynical participants who have failed in their individual pursuits. There only hope to be recognised is through a quorum of stupid people and irrational arguments against men who think futuristic. You can’t win them with any logic. The best way is to ignore them and move ahead.
Humans are made of emotions and emotions drive decisions and actions. When we are fearful we feel we can’t even fight an ant but when we are positive we feel we can move mountains. The important thing is to beat the fear as quickly as possible. Man inhibits an unimaginable amount of power which is hidden inside. We just need to find it.
He likes to wait. He is almost never in hurry. Whether he is in the queue to board a flight or buying coffee from Starbucks. Whether it’s about waiting for the movie to start after the commercial break or its about waiting at the traffic signal. It is during these waiting times he has got some of his life’s learning. Instead of getting irritated, he has learnt the art of enjoying, to look around, to think. In a way the wait has taught him the value of time and also the usage of it in every situation.
You can’t give in. Good men must stay firm. They must fight till the end. They must take the bullet in the head, if so be it. They are the only hope for a better tomorrow. Many have conceded to the evil forces. You can’t. The future of mankind rests on you. You are lucky that it is upon you to change the world. Take the responsibility. Bring the change. You may not survive to see the change. Still, you must take the lead for people behind to reach the end.
He sat still. His eyes fixed. He had just quit his job. Something he carried on his back for over a decade. The future was unknown. Still, he felt the bitterness of his black coffee to be the sweetest thing in the world at the moment. He felt an unexplainable combination of peace and pleasure. He never saw future as more exciting than he saw now. For the first time ever in his life he considered himself free, to walk the path he always wanted to.
It is so unfortunate that we still measure success in terms of money made by an individual. The fact is, someone who makes money is envy of the person who gives it away. Someone who spends his life acquiring wealth, end of the day finds peace being in company of someone who gains wisdom. The irony is that we want to be measured by the yardstick of the society, not our own benchmark.
Its quite ironical. But crisis makes us stronger rather than status quo. When something hit us hard, we curse our luck. However, most of the time, crisis is a blessing in disguise. They challenge us to look for alternatives. Mostly, we find them. Every crisis leads to several opportunities. Some may yield better results than today. We just need to pay attention and involve in creative thinking. So, the next time you find things not going your way, it may be an opportunity to learn more, grow more and walk new paths.
When you do what you love, you never get tired. In fact, your energy multiplies. You do more, without having any sort of stress and fatigue. It’s not the urge to achieve more. Its the fun to explore more. It’s like enjoying the journey without any effort to reach the destination. You move and take the turns as you wish because there are no preset direction indicators installed in the mind. You have to do what you love to know what it means.
After killing the lion, the hunter said regretfully – ‘I shouldn’t have done this.’ No point. Mistakes are alright. To hurt someone knowingly can’t be forgiven. In fact, when we hurt someone, it comes back. Sometimes, days later. May be months or even years. It evens out, in our own lives, the love we share or the hate. So, be selfish. Love enormously.
