One of the main reasons of mediocrity is that we look for pretty ordinary things in life. Things that are ?routine? in the sense of level (Routine in regular work is a must for excellence). We, or most of us, want pretty ordinary things in life, even though we may like to pretend that our aim is ?Very High?.
We are likely to be confused by accepting popular notion of high aims as ours, though there?s nothing fundamentally wrong in the poplar high aims as such. Almost all are related to being more powerful. More well?off, etc. And all these are normally desirable stuff of life.
PAIN OF LABOUR NEEDED:
Then what?s the fuss you may ask if we accede to these streams of popular materialistic ideology? Well, nothing much with the desirability of all these as such, but the problem is in process, if we accept the goals without self exploration, then we are bound to miss the strong link that such an effort would create, which can ultimately transform us into a fantastically original individuals. Believe me anything that comes without the efforts, labour, planning, etc. don?t have in them the capacity to uplift your life. This is one of the very strong facts of life ? no pain, no gain!
Study is life being lived:
It?s constraining, to remind a number of students that study should be seen as life being actually lived! Rather than treating it as an unavoidable burden, it should be seen as life?s opportunity to live more daily than otherwise possible for majority of us. Try thinking of life without books and study. Initially this possibility may excite a few, but if you think impartially, study is the cheapest and yet surest way to live life more joyfully!
We all have something in us:
Have you ever thought that why no two thumb impressions are same? It?s such an amazing statement of our uniqueness in the nature system of design. Yet we all forget this. Take any success story. It must have begun in the hearts and minds of few who were so determined to focus their life beyond the ordinary things. So make no mistake. Even in study, if you utilize this philosophy and start working towards ab ideal which has foundation in heart and which solidly belongs to you. Who can stop such seeded actions to culminate into results which are bound to spill over beyond the realm of personal life?
Come on!
Take a few minutes of your daily life to think about the reason for your actions. Ask yourself if there?s anything that goes beyond the preview of popular notions of success and failures. Is there anything in it to say ?Ah! That?s me. I?m the author of this. This I?m doing because my heart says ne to do?. Believe me, if you have this in you then you have the fundamental seed which van take you very far in your life. And you?ll have the sense of purpose to make you feel fulfilled when you act in accordance with your purpose.
