The Power of Self

At every step of life, unless pre-decided by the divine, we can as individuals be aware and act as we want to. The concept of ‘by chance’ gets eliminated by dedicated hard work, adequate planning include possible slips and focussed execution.

At stages where we doubt, we falter or tend to explode emotionally, it makes great sense to be aware, step back, observe and reattempt the actions. This will eliminate impulse outbursts which cannot be taken back and prevents damage to the audience pro actively.

As we add value to ourselves and come to realise that we are good enough to care well for ourselves, that’s the cue to start extending the support outwards. If I know I will succeed or do well, no matter what, that eliminates any threat to self. This is good opportunity to do selfless acts of support to the first circle of people around you and then to the larger audience.

This completes the cycle. Ability to care for self and strength to care for others as well.

Self indulgence, self glorification and self centered approach is a sure shot path for permanent failure on a long term basis. Simple explanation: you like to grow a flower plant, because you like a rose. You buy the pot, the soil, the seeds and plant in. In the beginning, with enthusiasm, you water it daily, pat the soil, keep waiting for the small sprout to come out. When it comes one day, you smile with your heart. Same with the rose plant. Your willing ness to NURTURE builds its enthusiasm as well to see who is this guy…it would also be smiling when it comes out for all you know. As days go by, you continue watering and the plant grows well and one day the rose blooms….what a feeling of completeness. On the other hand, you screw up, not water it and neglect… One day you will have a dead plant, which even if you realise then can’t be brought to life. You can’t blame the plant because you didn’t nurture the relationship. Same with us. Nurture now, selflessly and it will grow strong, make you a great person and drive your life in the right path.

Neglect now and be prepared to weep alone in the far landscape of time.

How we want to grow is up to us. Be it personal success or outside relationships. Without the dedication, planning, hard work and execution, we will end up a joke in this beautiful journey called Life.”

I wish you well. Lots of love and happiness.
