Peace of mind for direction in life

I got up, in the morning blues
To find a black book on my table
For which I had, really no clue
Who came, who gifted and is for whom
But soon I winked my eyes
And with great surprised, opened it nice
To find a little note on page 1
Which says the book came God’s way
It said it is for my child, that’s me you are the lucky chosen, for a great cause
A cause with which, you get happiness home
Not only for myself, but for millions
I curiously went to the next page
Which could indicate, what I have to save
I have to save a million dreams
Of people who are even hesitant to dream
Or people who have lot of them
But they don’t dare to make an attempt
To fulfill lovely wishes big and small
They think not beyond, the boundary thick and tall
My work was there, to stand by them
To hold their hand and look into there eyes
And express them
there is no word ,‘impossible’ in this world
and give them a belief that they can make it real
if all they put is sweat & toll.

When we go to our teenage and are in the world of exposure from all different kinds , there are many seeds which start blooming in our mind. It could be a wish to own a bike or to take your girlfriend for a ride or maybe as small as going for a night concert and staying late with friends. But like I said ‘all’ there are many of them , so there are some serious ones, which might have a more futuristic approach. They might be linked to your career or goals or they could be your passions for life. But a simple fact of life is that it gets tougher when responsibilities creep in so if your goals and passions are not in since, they is a great possibility that we have to leave one. That one is our passion, because it is not giving you bread and butter. The only way we can have it alive is if there is a blend of work and passion. My first half of the book will address to teenagers and youngsters who are about to decide what they want to do or have just started professionally. The second half will address to people who have ended up in the boat of money, fame and family and now have no room for passion.

First of all I would like to define ‘passion’. Passion starts with craze and later on either converts into obsession or infatuation. Though they mean all the same but there is a difference. If you have a craze and you fulfill it along the way and enjoy, it becomes your obsession but if you have passion, which is always far and distant from you, and you always think of it as you look up to the stars, then it becomes infatuation.
The only thing, which can convert it to obsession, is holding the right hand at the right time. But ultimately passion is something which you can think of and cry for .That cry should be emotional like a child who badly wants that toy in the big shop and is refrained from.


Circle of influence

Every person in this world has circle of influence. They are the people who care for you, advice you and guide you at every step of your life. But unfortunately they are not capable of guiding you or influencing you in every step of your life. Few years back we had a drive, everybody had to become a doctor, engineer or MBA, there is no 4th thing existed. But there are something’s which interest us more than these things but there is no one to guide us better. Just sit and think and ask yourself, who would be the best person to guide somebody who wants to be a doctor, I suppose your mind says it should be a doctor, who should be inspiration for a person who wants to become an actor, obviously a successful actor.

This word ‘successful’ is very important because it is something, which will define your success rate. If you take guidance from Sanjeev Kapoor if you want to become a professional cook versus me, what do you think would be your success rate in both the areas. We even trust are newly made friends to trust for our life long decisions. You want to know how?

2000 decade was a dot com boom. Have you ever seen anybody around you or in your family, a young boy who has just gone for counseling after clearing engineering entrance? He stands in the line and if waiting for his turn and he has decided to take mechanical engineering. Another boy comes and stands beside him and he has decided to join IT. They start talking and they start talking about the new dot com burst and boom in IT industry , the positive effects of being secure in IT right now . And suddenly when your friends turn comes, he decides to take up IT and not mechanical. See, how important decisions in life happen like that.
