Well, I want to start this with a very old saying “Not every superman/ wonder women comes with a costume“. Old and wise saying.
I would start this with a story of my friend, she is definitely 25+ and you might be thinking about what wonders she did, definitely she would have changed her stream, and via that she might have purchased a big car, mansion or raised funding? Well, no she is Trying yes you read it RIGHT she is “TRYING“.
Well, she had a good decent MNC job and she was earning well everything was going fine and would say more than just fine, it was pretty good. And then she realized that this was never her plan this domain of work won’t last long her happiness?
Well, the first thought must have struck you: How stupid after working in a certain domain of industry for pretty long years how can a person get such thoughts? Well the thoughts and feelings were always there but the materialistic world had taken over, the brain had taken over the battle with heart, over what you love to do and what your qualification makes you do.
Yes, but you know she had those guts to quit without any backup plan and restart on things. I don’t want to disclose all details here because I won’t make this blog a curse for her because definitely, people might come with negative comments and I never wanna bring any roadblock to my friend in anyways.
Well, lets come back to the point: she started again, moved to home town, joined coaching class again, I mean seriously boss you require enough guts to do that, I am sorry but I too don’t have that patience, dedication to again start from basics. I am hell afraid with the thoughts that she might be having:
What if I didn’t succeed in this stream?
Would I be again abe to join back my industry?
Would the industry will welcome me back?
What about the pay scale? Would I have to start from fresh again?
What my friends would say?
How my family would react?
What if I will have some thoughts on the new domain of work which I will be starting? Then this all would be a waste.
Would I end up like a stupid?
Would I be able to again start with basics?
Common my financial status would hit me like anything!
I was financially independent would I be able to be dependent on anyone again?
How would I survive all day studying/ preparing?
What about my independence?
How long this struggling phase last long? NO clue at all.
Am I seriously making a mistake?
I can only predict these would be the thoughts because I never tried to talk with her on this and I don’t wish to discuss because it might make her lost in thoughts and I never wanna harm her with anything, not even thoughts.
What I know is what would be the situation I am 100% sure that in next 5 years definitely she would settle down somewhere but this time she would be more happy, satisfied and comfortable because for this phase of life she has dropped all her temporary comforts, the party life, and other enjoyment stuff.
Definitely being great friends we talk about the downs of our life as well but the best part is she is never talking about her fear, neither she shows that fear, dreams or thoughts to anyone. I just got stunned seeing the calmness, patience, and harmony she has in her face. Generally, we saw 2 types of people in this phase either complaining or over dreaming but she is doing neither of them. She is simply preparing, she is simply “TRYING”. That made her a leader in my eyes, yes we always talk about people who have achieved something but why we don’t talk about people who are trying?
Did we ever get this thought that if we boost/ motivate the people who are “TRYING” it would help them more as compared to a person who had already succeeded?
Why can’t we think that “TRYING” irrespective of circumstance is a NEW VICTORY benchmark.
I am not giving her so much value just because she is my friend but I am giving value to a person who still believes that your age, your situations or anything doesn’t matter what matters are quality of life which starts with your inner happiness, work-life satisfaction, healthy life, family values and sound sleep which you get at night.
She made me realize that only having materialistic lifestyle won’t make you a really successful person, she helped me rethink on the concept of “After 10th standard choose a subject, study hard give competitive exams go for the best college, get a high paid job or move to another country and make lots of money”.
Definitely, money is important but you, yourself, your soul should be of utmost importance and you should work upon making you, yourself, your soul happy and satisfied.
If you are reading this and feel like I have a family dependent, financial responsibility or any other related responsibility, how one can go quit and start something, it is good to read but hard to LIVE like this. I completely agree and understand but again I request you to re-read what I mentioned earlier: “TRYING“. You never know where your fate is, stop making rich more reachier, stop wasting your time watching motivation and inspirationa things, they are making their business out of you. Inspiration and motivation lie in you, stand in front of the mirror and see this is the most important person whom you should take care of most. And if this also seems you less inspiring then go see your parents, your husband/ wife, children.
Well its never easy to do anything even your first walk you had struggled a lot to do that but you made it finally.
The last thing I want to convey here is if you ever feel like my friend deserves something then just make a wish for her, this is the thing she requires, rests all she is capable of doing and she is doing pretty well in that.
Lots of love to my inspiring lady!! I hope your example might help someone in this Globe.
