In Search of ...?
Long long ago, not so long ago but some time ago, there Lived 'I am' and it was the tender age
of mine during which I started my professional journey fueled by my passion to explore new dimensions of Life. I was quite fortunate that I was gifted with an intellectual colleague Dr. Chalapathy who was an economic professor.
It was day wherein the sky was overwhelmed with happiness and it was trying to embrace the earth with its crystal beads, Hmmm... to be simple, it was a rainy day!!! Off course, I had become quite concerned about my future prospects, as I am even now. Quite often, I used to tell him, "My Dear Chala... you know one thing? I am quite anxious about certain things in my professional life... I just feel that I am down.... shockingly no videos or stories of successful people inspire me!!!". Chala was listening to me ardently as if he was listening to some daunted baby.
At last, he broke his silence, drenched his voice with seriousness, and he said " Dear Uma! I understand your concerns about your professional life and your desperate attempts to derive motivation from external sources." Further he proceeded " In Kannada there is one adage it goes like this... You have an ounce of butter on your palms, aware or unaware, you just around the possible directions in search of Ghee". Initially I did not understand the purpose of the adage and I sank into my disturbed cerebral seas.
Chala understood that I was in a perturbed state and finally he broke the shields of silence "Uma! don't be so confused! what I mean to say is ; take this life as a marathon field and YOU are an athlete and you start the marathon of your professional life from point and you just keep running, you may be tired, exhausted, your limbs may resist and your mind may be tempted to enjoy the luxuries of relaxation, however, never heed to such enticing display of Leisure. You just keep running, never stop! After some time, you may give a Pause to your marathon, off course not Stop!. You just look back at your starting point and you really wonder the distance that you traveled from your starting point and every thought of your successful pace that you trod reminds you of your greatness... you really marvel not only the measured success but also the courage and strength that you have within to overcome the obstacles..."

As Chala was delivering his Lecture, I, as an ardent seeker, was spell bound and I was just carried away into the my realms of my own success and failures that I encountered in my life and I also discovered that all the recipes of MOTIVATION are hidden in the chronicles of my life, my own Life... YES!!! Dear readers, we do not need to loiter desperately here and there searching for Motivation.... because the Motivation lies in the chronicles of your life...
JUST IN YOU THE MOTIVATION LIES...
