Be the Change You Wish to See in The World
Hello there dear readers, what’s happening with y’all? How has this week been treating y’all? Did y’all have fun, or had the opportunity to start something new? Well for me, I have been striving to do something new as well, but haven’t succeeded so far.
But, as most of you would recall this is the space where we go sans complaining, we are here to craft solutions for everything, no matter how difficult it may sound or is. You know, one of the major follies in me is that my mind never stops working, and till this time it has never learned to rest.
Okay, let me elucidate on this point. I can recall countless times when I strived really hard to achieve a particular goal, and it took a lot of blood and sweat from me. And, after a long struggle, it was finally successful. You won’t believe that the moment it was successful my mind ran to the next big thing, and I never for a moment cherished the fact that I had achieved my goal, but I quickly moved on to the next big thing.
I understand that this attitude might come across as a lot to digest but every single day I wish that more and more people acted like this. And, I wish to elaborate on today’s blog regarding this. Just before starting this blog, I read this beautiful quote by Mahatma Gandhi where he said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” What a wonderful thing to say!
He clearly mentions that there is no point harping things on anyone unnecessarily, as to why isn’t a particular person doing something. Instead, we must become the change that we are seeking in the external world. In my case, I can say that I wish to be this extremely driven, ambitious woman who would get to any extent, weather all storms, fight battles and reach her goals.
So, I must be working hard to achieve it, and not complain when things do not go my way, or when people misunderstand me. Truth be told, there have been certain times when I have been a victim of self-doubt, fear, and endless anxiety. But, I decided not to pause and just march forward, carrying the baggage of self doubt, anger and anxiety.
Why? Because I wish to change the way things function and move ahead, not to go with the flow, but redirect the river in an entirely new direction. I have been on this path for quite a long time now and I say with experience that the journey hasn’t been smooth, it was tough — very very tough, but at the end of the day, it left me with success. One that wasn’t too familiar and one that slowly unfolded itself before me, owing to the loss of all that blood and sweat.
All these hardships and turmoil finally led me to say, “I made it, yes, I made it.” I noticed that now that I have led this route, I do not know any other way…
