Belief can change our world,
It makes us
realize our potential,
But it needs something,
Something which is essential,
Something which we all own.
But it remains unknown under the
curtain of negligence,
We’ll be able to unhide it if we
show some prudence.
& this prudence will lead us to
our transformation,
Only, & if only, we follow our
true passion!
It is the courage! Courage of
moving that extra inch when going gets tough, courage of trying new things in
life, courage of overcoming the fear of failure. But the question remains
how’ll we do that? Luckily, answer is in one word – PASSION.
I’ve realised that courage is not
the absence of fear, but it is the realization that something is more important
than fear. And this something is something which you are passionate about!
Soldiers, who are willing to
sacrifice their lives in battlefield, don’t do so because they are extremely
brave, rather, they do it for a cause, a cause which is more important than
anything else in their life.
So crux of the story is, in order
to become brave, you got to find something important in your life, something
meaningful, something for which you are willing to move that extra inch,
something you are passionate about.
The moment we do so, our job is
half done! What remains is just the secondary part. Because your passion will infuse
the other prerequisites in your personality. It will make you work hard, it
will make you achieve the level of required skills, though you do need some
sort of discipline in your life.
Take the example of Sachin
Tendulkar. Despite of his mastery over strokes, his years of hard work, credit
for his greatness goes to his hunger(definitely hunger for runs!) By saying
this I’m not undermining the importance of hard work, or skills. These qualities
are definitely required, these are necessary, but, these alone are not
Sufficient! We got to have hunger/passion for whatever thing we choose to do in
our life. We got to LOVE what we DO.
(Reminds me of Steve Jobs speech in Stanford Univ.)
I intended to write some poem here. But,
what came out is what you’ve just read. Basically, I felt like writing
something, so I wrote it. I don’t care if you like it or not, I don’t care if
you make some goddie-goddie comments or not, I don’t care if you share it or not,
what i do care is that I followed my passion. (Although, while writing this, I’ve
suggested you some ways to publicize my blog!! Haha!)
So, Be passionate about your ideas,
about your dreams. Don’t do things just because you have to! Your dreams will
surely come true, just listen your heart and give it all! Remember the immortal
words of Swami Vivekananda: जीवन की अवधि थोड़ी है और म्रत्यु अनिवार्य है, इसलिए आओ, हम अपने आगे एक महान आदर्श खड़ा करें और उसके लिए अपना सर्वस्व त्याग दें.....
