The Tongue wants more....

 When man tastes success, the tongue wants more! 

This is one epic quote by Kapil Dev, a legendary cricketer of India. 

This quote resonates with all of us, regardless of our different life paths. We naturally seek more when we experience success in any area—whether through acts of kindness or financial gain. 

The reason is simple: we feel exhilarated by these achievements and are motivated to pursue further success. Of course, we must earn our accomplishments; nothing worthwhile comes for free. 

However, success often follows once we have put in the hard work. We receive a thrill that propels us to continue striving for greater heights, and that excitement feels as uplifting as a plane soaring high in the sky. Like the man who longs to touch the clouds, we all want to reach for more.

This is life! 

Aspire to reach for the sky, and success will follow if you work hard for it. Once you’ve tasted success, it’s only natural to desire more. That’s a feeling we all share.

Let's ponder: should we set a boundary to our aspirations? 

A Mind over Body event

Rosie stares at the path that is well lit and has signs all over.
   
She takes a deep breath and walks gingerly towards the starting line while mumbling to herself, “I have to do this for myself to make a better tomorrow, and moreover, it is just a mind over body thing.”
   
In a few minutes, the ribbon is cut, and the flag is waved.
 
The crowd cheers.
   
Rosie waits up patiently for her turn to cross the offset point and open a new chapter by abandoning all her fears and apprehensions of being disabled for over a year.

What helps us stay Motivated?

In this competitive world, when there are distractions everywhere, how do we remain focused and motivated on our goals?

This comes with passion.

If we have a passion for the goal in our life. We can continue to walk amidst the storm. We will continue to strive hard on our purpose even if there are objects that will steer us away from our purpose.

Ask an arthritis patient whose hip joints and knee joints have given away. She will continue to wake up at the crack of dawn  even if the pain makes her each step difficult. Her goal is to pack lunches for her family. Her aim is to be there for her kid and husband. The pain sometimes causes her to get Demotivated in life, but her passion for her family makes her absorb the distraction and stay focused.

Ask a common man standing outside a hardware store for his daily job. His goal is to get his daily wages so that he could support himself and his family. The biting cold can sometimes Demotivate him, or there could be some days when they would not get hired. But, he continues to stand outside the store, rain or shine with hope, and the motivation to get his daily job and continue to pay for his daily needs.


So, next time when you are surrounded by negativity. Think about this one life you have to make a difference. Think about your passion and this will help you stay motivated.

Mantra for today: Think about your goals in life.
