To the mortals with immortal spirits...

Once I was sitting with two of my friends in Costa Coffee when the question of Life's satisfaction came in.... One of them answered, "I am happy enough if my life goes on such that I can come here and have a cup of coffee every evening without any tensions in life. I don't aspire for more than this". If you feel the same way as my friend.... then please stop reading further, as this is not meant for you. I respect my friend's aspect of life, but this article is not about sipping coffee in Costa Coffee...

This article is for the people who get restless when they don't get the work they feel that challenges their worth. It is for people who don't come to work places to just sip a cup of coffee, or to smoke whole day long. It is not for people, who are OK with the way life makes them float.

This is meant for......... the mortals with immortal determination...... the souls which look at the clouds and wish, they could touch it..... for the one who leaps on every opportunity that comes his way to make a success out of it.... for the one who feels he exists because he has to make a difference on this earth.. not because he has to just increase the count of the census by "+1".

When I was a kid, I used to enjoy Diwali the most and used to get lots of rockets.... in the packet of 12, some of them went amazing heights, some just did not go up, and some just blasted mid way.... I used to think what differentiated those rockets if they all belonged to the same packet.... I did not know the answer then.. but today I know.... It was the GunPowder in them... the "IN THING" in them that decided the heights they reached....

Why did I quote this here... because... how high we reach is only decided by the "IN THING" in us... both the quality and quantity of the "IN THING" matters..... By Height I never mean the bank balance we could make or the materialistic success I could achieve.... They are a part of the wholesome picture I am talking about.... if one is the richest person in this world.... but a poor kid on the street does not melt his heart in grief, I don't believe he has the quality of "IN THING" I am talking about here... he may have had the quantity though... 

I have heard the saying, "Don't take life too seriously".... somehow I feel sad thinking that how can I not take the most precious thing seriously.... "One Birth... One Death".... and between that lies the phase we call "Life".... when you close your eyes finally...  Look back and say... "Hey... I never knew I was to leave now... but no issues, I have given my best to life till now".. and then smile and sleep.... rather than saying.. "Oops... can I please be given one more life... I was actually not serious till now".... The answer shall be.... "No dear... time is up... Full Stop."

"Love".... "Live".... "Play".... "Work".... "Help".... "Read".... "Sing"... do whatever... you wish... but give your heart to it... give your soul to it. Be excited of the fact that you are failing.. because that means you are living... Its Ok if you fail in love, it means you have a heart that can still love and that's wonderful.... if you fail in work... it means you have a capacity to improve and prove your self.... if you lost a match of TT it means... you have at least reached the table, the day is not far when you will win the tournament...

The moment you think you lost... jump.. smile... and say.... that means I have another chance and thank god....

Many a times in life we feel our ways don't make people happy... trust me friend.... there has never been a man on earth who has not made anyone unhappy.... If companies existed just to make its employees happy, it would only have  a single grade "A" and no "B C D"... but No, life is not that ways... you will have to listen to your inner voice and do things.... the person disliking you has his own inner voice.. don't worry about him..... If you believe you can add some value somewhere.. you can add a smile somewhere.... just do it... let not he or she come your way.... Don't hurt anyone with bad intentions but if a single hurt to a negative person can get hundred smiles then I guess go with the 100 smiles than the 1 hurt... and later apologize to that one you hurt :)

At least you have listened to your inner voice, and will sleep with a smile at night... 

Slow and Steady wins the race... but not always. In the story if the rabbit ran till the end there was no way the tortoise would have ever won... so make your own rules and don't take unnecessary rest... don't go by the way all are going.... 

While you drive you don't have to drive fast just because the car behind you is honking... give him way let him get ahead... have your pace according to you... the pace which gives you time to think and decide..... and at the same time avoids any accident. 

The best part and the common part in all of us is the fact that we are all here to be happy... and happiness comes from a subtle balance ... a balance that lies in the success.... a Spiritual success..... a Materialistic success... a Professional success... or any thing else that matters to you.....

So, have faith in the self... and march ahead... Your self-belief will shatter every unfavorable thing on your way... and don't cling to things for long... Move on... yes Move on.... there is lot more in store than what you have seen... till now.

You will see many more smiles... and many more tears... live them all.. love them all... and at the end... just believe ..... You will win !!.. because... You are here to win !!
