Commitment to Writing!

I must commit at least 2 hours everyday to writing. If I don't commit, I will not deliver. If I don't deliver, I will never succeed as a writer. It's plain and simple.

It's not that I don't have time. I am wasting a lot of it which I can channelize to writing, perhaps the single most important activity in my life right now.

Prayers

If the world were to be left to prayers, it will be pulled immediately to a billion different corners and break down within seconds!

destiny and a unique life story!

Many of us graduated from the same business school and when I meet some of my friends and peers, it does get immensely tempting to compare my life's progress with theirs. At points like these, where I have been struggling for months to find a job despite positively believing that I am an extremely talented guy, the question becomes almost obvious, "why me?"

Now, that's what I have been thinking about since last night when I got very disturbed. I believe in destiny and unique life stories.

Our lives, no matter how closely connected we may be, are completely distinct. Everything that happens in response to our work on our goals is different, goals may be the same. That's destiny or the TAP at work. There is nothing that I can do about it.

I must accept what happens to me as a part of my life story. Reasons will never be given. They are for me to interpret. MY LIFE cannot be compared to that of Jitu or Varun or Varun or Pranay for that matter. They are of course examples to drive the point.

My life will take its own course and regardless of what happens, I will be the one driving that course.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.


Invictus


I shall fight
With all my might
till I drop dead
battling without fear
.

I am and I will be
till my last breath
a warrior.


amar!

"There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you are interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit.

When you are committed to something you accept no excuses only results."

Passion!

The 3 Cs of Passion:-

Captivating
Contagious
Convincing


more convincing than logic and reason. More convincing than anything else.
