Panic Meter

I can hear the bells of change ring at a distance

I can sense a whirlwind in by belly

My mind’s been fox-trotting

Raising the mercury of my panic meter a nano-bit

Every now and then  

Break that cozy shell of comfort now!

We all are lazy bums at some point in time, at least I know I am. 

Taking risk is challenging and so is stepping out of your comfort zone. But evolution you see is impossible to stop. Life is fast and change is certain. Every second you have millions of different news pieces being covered and drafted, websites going live, people succeeding, businesses being inaugurated, movie scripts being written and yes, the situations keep changing, each and every time.

When you though a good paying job would make your life settled and you got settled in that much needed job, soon a change in boss or role requirement would need you to push your limits. After joining the course you always wanted to pursue, you’ll be required to have a healthy competition amongst your peers to make it to the top. And if you are amongst those who like to be their own boss, starting up your own business will not only demand you to play different roles but also find the motivation to drive it every day.

Here’s an excerpt from the book I read again today, “Who moved my cheese by Spencer Johnson”

So, stop playing safe and enjoy the discomfort, because success comes with a little unease. Strife is a prerequisite to achievement, and to keep achieving in life we need to keep striving. So, each time you get comfortable and settled in something, be ready to stretch. And to do so you need to break that cozy shell of comfort now!

I know, "it's easier said than done", but then "where there's a will, there's a way."

Happy changing and chasing the cheese :)

Empty your trash and travel along the winds of change…

If you ever happen to be sad, perturbed or feel less loved, close your eyes, rewind your life and play it slowly. Recollect every single person you have come across, see and sense all of it again. The constellation of your memories will take you down the lanes of nostalgia, where you can relive and witness all the moments gone by, from a distance. When you look at them afresh after so long; you will experience a childlike innocence- full of inquisitiveness. Once you watch the sequence of events unravel you will be awestruck at the revelations on the other side, which have silently lain unnoticed and went amiss in the heat of the moment. You would, now be able to see the complete picture and see through it, which would join the loose ends of the thread that have till now created unrest in you.

Some of these moments will bring you a curvaceous smile, some just a smirk, other might make you blush as well. However, you might as well encounter moments that you have feared, that have left you scarred and have had deep and dark impacts on you. Don’t run away then, face them, fight them and sail through them with a hope to see a bright light awaiting you at the end of this dark tunnel. You might as well come across people who gave you all that misery, look into their eyes and tell them with utmost truth that you have forgiven them and they are liberated from your hatred and grudge that you bear in your heart. Say it as many times as you can and say it till you feel at peace. Empty your trash, free yourself of all your grudges and let go.

Soon the tranquility of spectacular sceneries, precious and joyous moments, smiling faces of your loved ones and all the fun memories will come rushing to you, in an embrace. It is then you would move on in life and be a free soul, light as a leaf ready to travel along the winds of change…
