To Start Somewhere

A good start is always a good omen for the success of any task. But I feel a start is more challenging sometimes.

I meet so many people who want to achieve something in the life but that has been postponed for "some day". This "some day" comes in their lives for only 2-3% of the people. Not to forget, these 2-3% rule the world, because they have achieved what they wanted to. Most of the time when we are not able to make our dreams come true, then we have to adjust/compromise to whatever is available.

Why should we allow this to happen to us? Why should we be left to compromise when the whole world is waiting for us with open arms? I found that there are majorly two factors which act as hurdles to our desire to grab the most wanted things. I would repeat our desires should be positive and creative. Any destructive act doesn’t bear any fruits to anybody.

Hardwork. This issue is prevalent throughout the various strata of society and frames of mind. To achieve more with less work; is a golden rule for many. I have seen people succeed, but the lure ends with a disaster which had originated by a slow poison which was continuously consumed and the side effects were neglected.

Commitment to goal, dedication to achieve and a fervor for constant effort is the only key to long lasting success. The rest all shortcuts are only illusions.

Fear. The fear of the unknown or the fright of messing up things is natural. I don't say the masses are all equipped to fight fears but certainly persistent practice of the mind and an optimism in oneself, life and God certainly can turn the tables.

So, it is good to start first, the rest of things follow. If you are working for a good cause, you will surely succeed. The fruits of success may turn up in shapes of bananas instead of apples but you should learn to enjoy the fruits. Something is always better than nothing. Don't forget you should put more efforts in being always up and running. The journey to success may be long. Tomorrow if you stay healthy and your mind is always jubilant you may own an apple orchard.

Have a nice start!
