This is another worn out dialogue we listen,
and we repeat, many a time. “It’s simple man. I know I can start it anytime.”
So why are you not starting it. Why aren’t you boarding the journey, if that
was so simple? Let that “simple” thing take you to accomplishment.
That
means either the task is not simple or something is impeding you from starting
it. What is that thing?
Most
of the time it’s the “fear of failure.”
We
may give it different names, different reasons. Such as I am too busy to think of it, I am tired after
day-long work at office, I want some peaceful moments to think of it, I am
thinking to start from next year etcetera.
The
logical reasons to procrastinate your dream-journey are the most illogical
thing you can do to your life.
Life
is an ever changing, ever moving phenomenon. It will not wait for you to think,
prepare and start. It would have been easy if you could stop time and start all
over again. But, we know that’s impossible. So, the best way is to catch the
first bus, rather than waiting for the last one.
Starting
at “Anytime” means “Not staring at all,” I would say.
I
had a friend who was a good painter. He could capture the beauty of anything,
anyone, with a simple stroke of brush.
Blessed with ample amount of imagination he was a born winner. However, he
always had the same answer, in fact same excuse whenever I asked him about
turning his passion to profession. “I will of course. I will start. I know I can
start it anytime.”
Years
went by without waiting for him to start. Each year adding to his
responsibilities, liabilities. The death of his father put him into a deadlock.
There was no way other than turning a painter, of course, painting billboards
at junctions. Where the creativity would have taken him, had he commenced the
journey in time.
What
he did to himself? What he did to the world? The world would have been more
beautiful with such blessed people’s creativity. The world is craving for such
rare, unparalleled, creativity.
If
you look around, read newspapers, you will find that the world is going through
a tough phase. Violence around is increasing rapidly. People with beautiful
heart are rarely seen. It is those people with creativity and dreams, who make
the world a wonderful place to live.
Aren’t
you deceiving the society, in that case?
