| Self Reliance |
Humans are
conditioned to seek love and support for survival and growth. We all
wish to be in the shadow of that umbrella of support forever. Life
would have been much better and smoother if that could have been the
case. Unfortunately, like everything else, the umbrella of support
also has a limited life span. Someone rightly said nothing grows
under shadow the banyan tree.
I also realized that
when you are alone and when no one understands what you want and
makes a mockery of your dreams it is you and only you who could see
the light at the end of the tunnel. In those dark moments of
helplessness, it is your will that gives you the strength and sudden
surge of energy to take a step forward towards realizing dreams. All
you need is the realization of the strength within and finding ways
to channelize those strengths in the right direction at the right
time. This is what ‘self-reliance’ is all about.
We all are gifted in
one sense or the other. But, most of us fail to realize the hidden
power and waste precious time in thinking about unnecessary problems
and blame near and dear ones for not supporting them in dark hours.
My feeling is that most of us fear to look inside and fail to realize
the natural strengths. In the open grounds of nature, we all are
endowed with requisite skills, but unfortunately, we fail to see and
actualize them in time. In the whole process of dream-march, you have
to be your own biggest cheerleader. No matter what comes in your way,
you are your pathfinder and if there is no path, it is better to
build one.
I am a hardcore
learner but I hate too much hand-holding. It is you and only you, no
one else, who has to walk on the path, because it is not their job to
build a path for you. You also need to understand the limitations of
your loved ones because they operate within their belief system. It
is not about you only, so it is better to stop taking it personally.
You need to accept the fact that it is your dream, not theirs, so
plan and move accordingly.
We all are unique
and that finds reflection in the uniqueness of dreams of every
individual. This is because we all are differently conditioned to
observe and actualize dreams. Most of us not even dare to think about
realizing dreams, forget about walking on that path of realization.
If you have support, well and fine, but if it isn’t there then
don’t stop and continue walking. You will ultimately find your way
to shape dream and make it great. The passion to prove keeps one
ignited to achieve the impossible.
In fact, I feel that
if you don’t have the support system universe conspires to help you
reach your highest potential by pushing you to extremes. However, it
is up to you to observe neutrally the miracle of nature with
positivity and make it your asset. You are at liberty to waste your
time and energy in thinking about the excuses or you can just
re-orient yourself and focus on realizing the dream. I can say it
from my learning, from all the successful people I know, the only
thing that matters is ‘self-belief’ and persistence to chase
dreams.
The key to success
is self-reliance. Trust me on this you become what you want to be.
So, see yourself succeeding and living the kind of life you always
wanted to live in your dreams.
Frankly, it isn’t
an easy task. To be honest, it is not meant to be easy at all. The
best thing about chasing dreams is that people start loving the
challenges of achieving the impossible. In the process of step-wise
achievements, you will learn to grow emotionally. This is why people
say, it is not about the destination, it’s about the journey. In
the end, you become the one you wanted to be, and that is the
ultimate reward.
Interestingly, the
moment you start looking inward you become larger than the self,
meaning, you start looking beyond and start helping others in
achieving dreams of their choice. Ultimately, you become a
compassionate pathfinder for others. This is why nature supports
those who try to redefine and recreate things not just for self and
but for others.
Boredom,
frustration, isolation, and confusion are very natural traits of the
human thinking process. As a self-reliant dreamer, you know the value
of these natural emotions. So, don’t fall in the trap and use your
cognitive maximum to remain focused on chasing dreams. Your self-reliance will take you on the path of greatness and ultimately you
become insanely great.
