I Dream, I Do, I Fail, and I Quit

This is something which is common between many of us. There are many situations when I realized that I do not have it in me to work for the thing I want to achieve. That is where I always quit. 

Even after knowing that it is ME who is stepping back here, I somehow convinced my inner self that I would try to do something better than this. That "something better" always replaced another "something better", and I got nothing. That is my story, that might be yours too.

I wanted to learn something out of those failures, so I tried to find out the reason behind me quitting things. Lets take it this way. When you want to push a car, you require an initial boost which has to be good enough to make the car move. But once the car starts moving, all you need is the equal force which will be lesser than what you used earlier.

Coming back to the implications on Life, your dreams are something which you want to achieve. The initial boost required to work on your dreams will be proper homework, planning, self-motivation and support. The initial boost decides your success or failure.

Work real hard and serious till you make your first move. And once you will be make your first move, your previous moves will help you motivating yourself for further moves.

Unchanged Goals

It is a very hard fact that almost 60% of us are not having any goal in our life yet. It doesn't mean that those who are not having any goal are fools and have no right to live happily. Another important fact is this that almost half of those who have goals, change their goals very frequently as if they are changing clothes.

Some of the reasons for frequently changing our goals are-

1. Some other person is having better goal.

2. Realizing that their goals are not realistic.

3. Over-estimating self (of the ability).

4. Under-estimating the goal.

5. External pressure to change it.

6. Circumstances

There can be many other reasons for this. Goals are highly influenced by the incidents. There are some incidents in our life which change our life, and help us know our true self. These incidents become milestones in our life, and we start working in that direction. These incidents are so intense that they force us to make realistic and achievable goals. These Goals are considered real goals with no further frequent change.

Know your True Self

One fish said to the other: “Do you believe in this ocean that they talk about?”

This ancient Chinese saying well illustrates how narrow our vision of the world and the universe can be. We all see the world form our limited perceptual framework. Whether it be an African, Asian, or an American, we all perceive through the senses we have. From our knowledge of science, we know so many things are just not what they appear — earth is not flat, the ground below us is not stationery and the sun doesn’t rise in the east.

The fact is that we see and hear what we can and not what the reality is. The world is like an unprocessed data, which is yet to be interpreted by us. In other words we can say that the unrevealed reality is just like an FLIP BOOK (which Ishaan made in Taaren Zameen Par), and what we are interpreting is just a single page of that flip book which is of no true meaning. We cannot interpret the whole reality until and unless we start perceiving things beyond that is visible to us.

And the factor which is surely acting as a barrier in our interpretation is our THOUGHT and EMOTION. We are very far from the reality because we are more conscious about the external environment, and we have lost connection with our true self. Well, an attempt to interpret the reality will not change the reality itself, but it will help us live with great joy and happiness.

KNOW YOUR TRUE SELF, OTHERWISE YOU WILL LOSE YOUR IDENTITY
