At the very onset I would like to quote the words of Robin Sharma who beautifully puts across the thought, “Each one of us is born into genius. Sadly, most of us die amid mediocrity.” As the children of God, we are indeed blessed because He sends us on this earth with the inherent potential to pursue the purpose, He has designed for each one of us to accomplish during our physical journey. But unfortunately, most of us keep grappling with our daily chores and running after materialistic needs to add to our physical comfort and in pursuance of the same we fail to realize the real purpose of our life. We then spend our entire life in mediocrity and envying the achievements of others with the perpetual complaint that God bestowed on him or her His choicest blessings and made him/her the gifted one depriving me of those special capabilities. The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any. The need is to understand and realize your inherent potential and add value to whatever you are doing in life. In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. here, “If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, “Here lived a great sweeper who did his job well.” You don’t always have to be a Leader with A Title, if you are doing your best in your own simple way, you are a leader in your own capacity.
Ralph Charell has rightly put across, “Nobody succeeds beyond his or her wildest expectations unless he or she begins with some wild expectations,” so never underestimate your thoughts and dreams and drive them away as wild dreams. All dreams are achievable in life if one musters the courage and the passion to pursue them. Only with the courage of conviction, a deep sense of self-realization and a strong value system can one achieve the unachievable and transform every challenge into an opportunity. The sense of accomplishment and achievement is the most gratifying feeling in life and the greatest gift one can offer to others is the sight of an achievement in one’s life. Never be afraid of thinking big yet start small; take those tiny little steps each day and eventually you will get to success. Avoid running after rewards because success will automatically come by performing those little advancements with consistency. Always remember, ‘smalldaily improvements-over time-lead to stunning results’.
God bless you all with success and achievement in life.
