Motivational Mantras

I was twenty four. I had no money, no job and no skill at all. I was at the brink of my last stages.

You know what, they say, "even after the darkest night, the sun rises".

All I actually wanted to become was, that shiny pole star but remorsefully ended up becoming a pricking soul.But that life changing motivational mantras by my father changed me completely and transformed my identity.

Hello Readers! I am Sahil Kaushik. My story started almost fifteen years back when i was juggling with my very own identity. Everything was functioning smoothly before grade ninth.Soon i started digging my own grave after i was enrolled in ninth class. I started believing that the most powerful force of this universe started working against me.

          Those hot air talks, praising oneself, "your brother will do that, your brother can do this."In actuality, the productivity was absolutely zero, entirely null.

          That sense of instant gratification, desiring to experience the pleasures of life right at the moment within a fraction of a second. Let's play outside with the friends, will study tomorrow. Targeting oneself to become a procrastinator in terms of all those valuable things which can fetch immense productivity in future.

          "You may delay or ignore the precious time at present but that lost time will never be found again in future."

          So, as a result i did nothing and failed in grade ninth. Now somehow, i could complete class ninth the next year and now i could finally be able to make my entry in class tenth-"The Board Year". Again those same things started occurring in my life where instant gratification was at the top. With all those devastating ideologies, I landed up scoring only forty percent.

          I dared to ask for science but was given arts. Now people started asking me questions, started interrogating my formerly mentioned future goals where becoming a scientist was my boastful fashionable goal. I had to face embarrassments and had to quit school, later admitted in a government institution of learning.

          For eight to ten years, the same things were piled up in continuation to occur and i started playing blame games and as a result i was twenty four years old now.

          No one was hiring me for the job because i had nothing. I was actually fit for the job that required no skills at all. I landed up in big trouble. At this time, i started my business, borrowing money from somebody on interest.But business too had to shut down for i could not succeed in administering business too and now i had to pay that guy of with the money but i had no resources to return his estimated amount. Therefore i borrowed the amount from someone else to return his money then from someone else to repay the debts of the person from whom i borrowed the amount to return the debts of the first borrower creating  the unbreakable chain of interests and giant viscous circle.

          People started coming to my home, day and night. My decent and educated parents were really embarrassed. Mockery, Humiliations, belittling from everywhere. I used to bang my head against the wall for i had no clue what to do, how to get rid of this mess that i have created. I could not take it anymore and ran away from the home. After sleeping in the parks for couple of days, I came back to my home since i had no money 

          I tried to commit suicide but even failed in that.

          One day, I was sitting alone in my room when my father came and he finally succeeded in making me believe that it was my mistake and shared miraculous life changing lessons to me which altered my prospective altogether.

          The next morning, I was a changed person. But obviously, change does not happen over one nigh; Right!.

          I hustled day and night and somehow managed to get the sales job. I worked harder and paid of everyone one by one. Everyday before leaving my home, I always used to make a promise to myself , "I have to touch that infinite sky of success." I did not give up and struggled a lot and then decided to launch my own startup.

          Those secret mantras that helped in discovering myself included the fact that whatever is happening in our lives be it good or bad, we should  hold ourselves accountable. You know what every living being on this earth refuses to accept the reality. We always run away from the truth. The day we'll start managing to speak truth to ourselves, from that day onward we'll start holding ourselves responsible for every circumstances.

          Stop playing the blame games. Stop blaming your situations, circumstances at the end of all the devastating landings. Stop being that lazy frog in the pond who procrastinates its priorities. Try getting rid of all the distractions to get organized leaving that concept of instant gratification.

          For five minutes, we wish spending time scrolling and checking Facebook but eventually land up spending two hours. We feel like watching the movie just for five minutes but end up watching the entire film.

          We all want our present to be highly pleasurable, pleasing, enjoyable but mostly we neglect all our future goals.

          Consistent search of gratification in present will fetch you nothing, absolutely nothing. So just stop finding the comfort in the present moment and start loving the entire process. It might be mundane but for the self discovery and for you to be the horse in a race you should really need to love the underlying truth of your existence. 

          Einstein once said that the most powerful force in this universe is compound interest. Understanding the power of compounding is very important. It will either work for you or against you. Every action has its consequence. You let your present be relaxing and lucrative and you will definitely land up in having its remorse reaction where your relaxation will become your labor and you will urge heavily for its regular wages.

          You will definitely not fail tomorrow but after some years you are supposed to fail where compounding will work against you. You will land becoming a bankrupt in few years if lavishly waste money today.

       We all want the successful engaging life but did we ever trace the above paths. Many of us must not be following these and somehow or the other must have eradicated our lives up to an extreme level. 

          " Start growing more wise and patient to seek stronger purpose and intention."
