Live one day at a time, lay one brick in a day.

Okay cool,

Finally, You are here.

By anyhow or destiny,

If you understand this little thing your whole life will change or at least your mindset towards life.

You deserve good in life and therefore you are struggling or chasing success.

‘Success’ whatever it means to you.

I’m not going to give you a motivation lecture. I just want to clarify a thought that I believe is worthwhile.

So, think.

Q: Why do you want to do everything in a day?

Ans: Agree or not it’s a harsh reality that we can die any day.

We humans dream, plan, and procrastinate, we start to think of dreams becoming reality, what will happen, what I will do then, how will I feel and blah blah.

Actually,

those people who are ahead of procrastinators, who really took action, in fact, took so many actions that their 24 hrs became insufficient for them.

Are in a real trap, they think and plan very big & just start acting.

It starts, like suppose,

For eg., if You plan to start a business, let’s say shoe mfd. You planned everything. When to start, how to scale up and all. Now you don’t know when you fall into a trap where you are working the whole day implementing a plan and ignoring your health. Then you try to catch up with those two things and you suck because now you are unable to spend time with family. You suck every time and you will.

Why

Still asking. You know that you are trying to do everything in a day.

The irony is you can’t do that and you will always think you can.

God has given a day to be lived at once so why do you flurry to live whole generations in a day?

Leave rest things, just do what is to be done today, give everything their deserving time and don’t regret.

Q: Why are you seeing a challenge as a whole? 

Ans: Observe politicians – how they make a fuss over every policy planned by the opposition.

Our mind does the same when we have a challenge in our way.

It presents things with extra exaggeration. And the movement you fall for. Your mischievous brain becomes happy as you fall into its trap.

It happens with everybody. But you don’t have to worry, mindful people found its cure already.

All your mind needs are just a little bit of awareness to tackle this.

Think like this,

If you think that you have to trek the whole mountain, your mind will resist. On the other hand, if you think you just have to walk one step your mind will already take it.

Leave how big an empire you will build and how it will be.

For today just put one brick. The very one brick. And nothing.

In India, it’s popular saying that,

In cricket you can never throw two balls at once, it goes one by one. So, why do you think that all problems will come at once?

Batters play one ball at a time, so why can’t you solve one problem at a time?

The problem is you think that the bowler throws all balls in one go.

is it ever done, is it possible in reality?

NO isn’t! then why are you throwing all your problems in one go toward yourself?

Who told you to skip steps? 

I like this quote the most.

Take one step at once and you will end up walking 1000 miles surprisingly.

And also an image from the book “The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse

“Just take this step…” The horizon will look after itself.

Life is not running fast as you imagined it rushing.

‘Zen’ says take a breath and look around yourself everything is just still and doing its duty.

Just your mind is constantly murmuring to rush.

Whatever has to happen will happen, neither you nor I can start or stop.

Just chill – take deep breaths – and be alive in movement.


I heard this poem from Manoj Muntashir which I think is worthwhile to mention here.

जो व्यतीत हो गया , वो अतीत हो गया।

जो अदिश्य है, वो भविष्य है।

और

जिसका हमें ज्ञान है, बस वही वर्तमन है।

Manoj Muntashir

What has passed, has become the past.

What is invisible, is the future.

And 

Of which we have the knowledge, is the only present.

The end. Now I will take a breath…
