Break through the Circle

Sitting down to think of where you have arrived in your life and evaluating what you want do to next feels like Déjà vu towards the end of every single year. It takes you back to your highly motivated self towards the beginning of the year when you had all the perfect plans lined up. 

May it be gym, healthy eating habits, starting a business or cracking an exam. You end up seeing a huge difference between what you thought and what you did. Holi, Ganapati, Diwali, weight gain and the year ends. Leaping into another year comes as a wake up call to many because a new year is as seen as an event in itself. I know it is still better than people who never a get one. But let's just talk about getting better here. So, we do follow an exercise where we revisit the year. We feel grateful for what we have achieved and remember the lessons we have learned and plan the coming year. Unfortunately, this plan is remembered only till Sankrant and then towards Christmas. And still further, it is highly in the favour of a lazy mind to sketch fancy plans than Act now.

The point is to understand and accept that it would actually pay off a to do  a 7/10 thing everyday than to plan a 11/10 thing once and execute just 3/10. Why wait to listen the midnight ring on 31st Dec? Why not today? I emphasise on being motivated every morning when you wake up. Take active control of your life and reconnect with your long term goals. A thought that is not nurtured is a thought lost. In the same way goals that do not get the fodder of daily motivation are lost in oblivion.

Your life should not be a circle to start and end at the same point. Break through the Circle of life; for its meant to be an Upward Spiral. You may go through the same seasons and festivals every year but you've got to make sure that you have lifted yourself up every single day. This is where you would actually see the difference towards the end of the year from where you started. With this note I wish you all a Happy New Day.
