Reflection!

Every now and then, in the mirror, I see my old self from a few years back.

I can clearly see in the mirror, how narrow-minded these eyes are.

But then does it mean my future self from a few years ahead will find my eyes from now, shallow? I think so.

In those moments of failure, I am pretty sure I will assume that I did enough then. Still, shit happens!

But at present it doesn’t look like I did enough. Anyway, the moment is gone. Now again, I feel I did enough. Is it enough? Asking my future self.

In the mirror, I can see so many fresh wounds. A few of them left scars, that I can see without a mirror too.

I know it is part of growth. That's how I can keep my chin up.

Growth is expensive. Never-ending. Tiring. Exhausting.

While coming to my hometown after a long time, it felt like I was going back in time. It was a time shift to a decade almost. It is just I got heavier and become more demanding with the surroundings. All of a sudden people and children were more visible than they use to be. The chill in the air was more uncomfortable even though in old days I use to travel at a worse time. I almost felt I am weakened by my time devotion to comfort myself for all these years. Side-note: Of late I am aghast by dipping level of people's intolerance. It seems people are becoming more fragile day by day. Earlier things which could have made no one felt bad or considered to be bearable are now found to be of life-threatening and unbearable at all point.

A Legacy

While sitting at the funeral of my friend's father, a question lingered on my mind. When people leave us forever, do they make us think more about them? And surprisingly, I couldn't put many people in that category. I found we have filled our life with so many things that now people surrounding us don't really leave a forever mark in our day-to-day lives. Except for my eldest maternal uncle, no one came across my mind. He was one who left a legacy behind him. His absence made me think about what he would have done had he been still there in present. And that's how I think one leaves a legacy behind. I am not sure we doing anything like that for people around us. Especially I don't find myself in that place. In fact, I find myself to be someone who could make the least vacuum to fill if leave at the moment from this world. I find people with jolly nature to be most memorable and missed when not around. You guessed it right, I am not one of those.

What needed for Excellence - Harsha Bhogle

End(Destination) Vs Path(Journey): End can be driver to ambitions.  To get result at all-cost, adds anxiety, forget how to manage present, don't allows check whether the path we following is fort with danger. Make the result irrelevant: perfect the process of performance n don't allow the pressure of result to choke your performance. More than performance, Excellence lies in Preparation: What you see on ground is just the end result of all that gone in before(in preparation). Not be unhappy with 100% effort, whatever be the result. Excellence is series of 100%(effort). Never grudge people for their success. If you give 100% every-time, before you know next opportunity will be in your lap. When seek Excellence, Seek people better than you: Always surround people better than you(not necessarily of your profession). Have people around you who tells you when you doing wrong more than when you do right. Arrogance often comes in the way of excellence. Be ready
