I have heard the
statement – ‘Well begun is half done’ many times. But I don’t
think it’s always true. Take for example, my previously penned down Plan. I began with so much of
good will. I almost promised that I will put my daily life lesson or my
experiences and then what happened? It ended just as it started. I don’t know
if there is anyone who can relate with the same experiences.
It’s been more
than a month since the Lockdown due to Corona virus was announced. I had great
plans to learn, grow and cultivate skill with the time I have in mind. I
counted my days left for my exam, they were around 100+ days. So I drew a
chart, made a timetable for myself and was all pumped up ready for action. But
alas! Those plans remained on paper itself. I didn’t breathe life into it. I
binge watched some series. Reached almost God level on mobile games. But in
regards for my personal growth…….. I didn’t do anything at all. When I looked
back later just to take a stock of where I am, I had only 55 days left. Then I drew another chart. Gave it a name
PROJECT NEO. Again, the same effect…………. I just felt non-motivated, lazy to take
some action.
Now, when I look
forward, I have just 30 days left. I have only a month from now. Today, I
don’t just plan instead I promise and I COMMIT to grow. This hero had no particular reason to grow. I
realised that was my problem. This hero had no enemy or rather this hero was
blind to his enemy. The enemy lurked within the hero, stopping him from taking action, blocking him whenever he risked to grow. Imagine, when I wanted to
exercise, so many thoughts ran through my head… and in the end, I was just too
lazy to get up and do something. I preferred watching a movie or some video on
the internet.
I call out my
enemy now. I have recognised him. I accept that I have been secretly feeding him
and allowing him to grow and thus block my real self – the hero within to
shine. If I don’t take action today, I will become a fat person, a
lazy man
moreover I won’t have anything to contribute to the society. Therefore I am
calling out the enemy. And I COMMIT myself to win over my enemy with sheer
hardwork.
Persistence in all fields planned - is my key. That is my watch word.
Today is Day
Zero, and the game has begun...
PROJECT NEO is
on, finally !!!!
