It was a cold and chilly morning back in December 2016 when my sweet little niece, Aadhya started her nursery schooling. I was amazed to see her easiness on the very first day getting ready to catch her school bus. Rome was not built in a day and so was her courage and confidence to go to an unknown school, around unknown teacher and classmates. What made her transition from always-be-with-parents to be in a complete different environment? The secret was nothing but the preparation, the visualisation of how cool the school environment would be. Feeding her little brain with the greatest of all her ears wanted to hear. You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose the sight of the shore. Now she was ready for unleashing the unexplored path of her world with such an excitement.
Remembering, good old days I was never the same. In my slightest light of memory, I remember crying my heart out while going to my school on very first day. But over the period of time, 12 years to be specific I had the courage to say- Ha Papa, mujhe Kota Jana hai was one of the courageous statement I had given to my father besides Ha Papa, mai shaadi k liye ready hu. I still wonder what made me say the prior (Disclamer: Readers, please do not ask question about the latter). I was ready to lose the sight of the shore, to accomplish what I was really passionate about. Was that the ultimate goal of my life? Obviously no. But hell yeah, for that phase of life.
The ultimate goal is to live the life to the fullest. For that, one needs to think big and start small. Having a long term goal by creating a small milestone makes it easier for an individual to take that courageous step one at a time.
The sooner you let go old cheese, the sooner you find new cheese. Do not stay longer in your comfort zone: be it your school, college, office, home, etc. To see the magic of thinking big you need step forward, have the courage to leave few things which you love for your short term comfort. Few say - Life is a journey, so what's the point of getting stuck along the roadside just to have golgappa (since you love it the most) throughout your whole life. Wouldn't it make sense to keep moving ahead to taste all the flavours and cuisines the world has to provide you along the way?
So, closing my words by - You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose the sight of the shore. Visualise your beautiful life journey, it will surely pump you with courage to beat off all the odds, fight all the pirates. Remember to invest in experiences rather than assets while crossing the ocean. You're smart enough to guess which will stay forever.
