This morning, while lighting a diya and offering my prayers, I was able to concentrate on the power of the flame that was burning, enabling me to calm myself. It felt warm on a hot summer morning and exceptionally rejuvenating.
I have been practicing certain rituals and personal development skills lately, like doing one thing at a time, for a long time now, which has preserved my time and money for further growth.
Things seem easier and success feels more tangible. Performing routine tasks and rituals and completing my work have balanced my life for the better.
Through the flame I could derive a deep revelation that made me even more comfortable with myself. The flame urged me to BE BRIGHT.
Suddenly, I remembered one of my school teachers who, after evaluating my answers, said, “Purva is bright.” I was gloomy throughout my adulthood, thinking, Why was I facing difficulties despite all the hard work I had done to base myself deeply attached to the ground?
My foundation wasn’t weak, but success seemed far, and a name seemed impossible.
Today morning I realized that whatever I am supposed to be doing, I should do it with a brighter mind that walks that extra mile to add value in the work that I put in or the knowledge that I continuously need to attain.
Dull attempts to complete tasks are not satisfying. By paying half attention to things, one does not become the full version of oneself. You have to do the thing with full concentration to enjoy living it to the fullest.
By doing what is difficult and always doing the difficult part first, you seem to cultivate brightness and diligence. This will automatically coach us to improve further, and other people will want to raise our standards by giving us more opportunities.
With every bright attempt, the foundation is becoming stronger.
Now things are manageable with adequate time to rest because brightness and mindfulness have been inculcated. The mental fog, which delayed it, has been submerged into the deeper layers of my mind, leaving only important things to surface and materialize.
I have started viewing people while discovering their bright eyes, eager to make it each day. The ones who have made it through the day seem brighter and refreshing during their off time also, while those who wasted the day seem tired and fatigued.
When things become tangible, confusion lessens, and to reach such a stage, one has to be bright.
To become a bright person, all that one has to do is pay attention to their gurus’, friends’, and family’s messages and learn to act according to their self-discovered scholastic culture. If you are a doctor, you should know their culture to maintain the quality of service delivery. There is no harm in discussing the inabilities or obstacles that one might face. There are ways out through hard work, counseling, walking, meditation, or scoping to find the best option that one has as a goal to accomplish.
Stay persistent and you will find yourself brighter with every new attempt.
REMEMBER
“Excellence is a continuous process, not an accident.” – A. P. J. Abdul Kalam.
When brightness of mind leads you to task completion, you tend to achieve the best form of living, which is the only thing that matters during a lifetime painted with sincere efforts and hard work based on a strong foundation.
Be bright and upright.
