There
is no other way to control a day than to wake up little early in the morning.
It is one such non-negotiable activity that a writer should cultivate to
embark a successful journey.
Honestly, I am not a stickler to this virtue
for some years which is not the case now. I find the quality of writing improves
insanely great when I write in the mornings. As the mind would be
like a clean slate in those serene hours, great writing happens
miraculously.
One morning after sipping a cup of hot
coffee with a biscuit, followed by one minute prayer, yoga and
meditation, I sat down to begin my day. When I was about to
open my 'Quotations Book' to devour some power quotes, suddenly the
corner table-top calendar grabbed my attention. It is the calendar with
daily power quotes of Swami Vivekananda which I stopped rolling daily with a
usual complaint: 'I don't have time'. But I know that
is absurd. Having felt guilty for a while, I rolled the
date card to 26th October. A beautiful quote popped up
which slid me into reflection :
'This is the first
lesson to learn;
be determined not to
curse anything outside,
not to lay the blame
upon anyone outside,
but be a man stand up,
lay the blame on yourself.
You will find that is
always true. Get hold of yourself !
I tried to digest this truth into my veins.
The agenda in front of me is to ' to share,
share and share and widen my Knowledge Group through effective forum. ! My intention to
share is noble and the purpose is plausible.
Too much worldly man can't cut much ice.
Even if he could succeed, it is only for short duration.
After certain age, physical growth stops and intellectual growth only matters
and it differentiates you from the crowd. To grow in life means to
grow spiritually.
If you plough the history, you could witness
that great people have come and gone leaving their foot prints in the sands of time.
What you need to do is derive
benefit from their wisdom and march ahead with your own foot
prints. But feeling insignificant in this vastness of the universe
is a self-inflicted curse and it is the beginning to your own end. You
have to make your own mark on this planet in your own life
time and that adds flavour to life !
