Chase your dreams...
Celebrated
actors, Illustrated artists, Eminent academicians, selfless activists...I have
often wondered what keeps them going? The most predictable answer is one of the
most abused words – Passion! I don’t buy that. Lesser mortals like us are also
passionate about something or the other. But why don’t we achieve those
heights?
Is it the fact that they are charismatic? Yes, there are some people who
are born with that ‘spark’ .Those who can effortlessly make people take a
liking to them and turn them in their favour. But not everyone is charismatic
and attributing that same reason for all their achievements will be unfair.
Think about it a bit more and a more
logical answer appears to be their Perseverance - the urge to be at it, the
desire that is ignited continually. It is said that a space vehicle faces
maximum resistance during ‘atmospheric entry’. There is an analogy between this
and a person’s ability to keep striving to achieve excellence. Many of us would
have reached close but blame it on us being myopic, we would have given up
quarter a mile before the goal.
A by product of perseverance, the conviction
to not bring down even by a notch, the level of achievement that will bring
them contentment. Many of us settle down for a lesser level of achievement or
bring down our life’s goals so as to make ourselves happy.
And yes, of course the courage to
tread the path less traversed. If there is someone to positively reinforce that
courage, count yourself blessed.
Those who have tasted success has the intellect to understand consistent
striving will take one to a stage that becomes self driving and that it will
give enough buoyancy to keep going.
Chase your dreams, backed by an
equal measure of longing and nothing will ever stop you.
