Practice may not make you perfect or successful.

When we do not get the desired results we try even harder, following the silly King Bruce Maxim to keep on trying till we succeed. But we never stop to analyze even for a moment why we are not succeeding after repeated attempts. Like religion does by repeating (Hail Mary’s) we keep repeating but of to no avail.

If, we stop to think or scientifically analyze what went wrong – we would soon realize that we forgot to “change course” in spite of seeing the iceberg in our path. If real awareness had set in we would have taken corrective measures earlier and avoided a lot of stress and disappointment.

Success is not a science or art that one can perfect; it is more of creative thought and applying winning strategies. To climb the ladder of success you don’t need more practice but creating more friends and leaping into the warmth of human experiences. This way you will inspire yourself to attain new heights.

In the earlier days, they said God was watching over us, now god is a blip on the radar and the Internet is watching us and might even censure you for this part. Can we not just believe in ourselves, our hearts and our intuitions? Do we need the lines of our lives to be a perpetual confession in the presence of an unknown, unknowable creator? Why can’t we create our own legend and bury ourselves in it, before our ashes lose its warmth.

Success comes at a heavy cost though we don’t realize it at that point of time and you will envy the ordinary unsuccessful people in this world, those who are blissfully unaware of dreaming big.

Sometimes you will yearn for the aimless solitude of our erstwhile youthful life, no goals, no responsibilities the sort of schoolboy life we enjoyed. It was when the world was alive with magic, less complicated and we were free inside. Not trapped between the timelines, meetings, deadlines and the fear of failure.

In the end it’s all about living a life that gives you leisure and the joy to enjoy your life, one that truly provides bliss. It is when you are at peace with yourself and the world around you that become aware of all the different paths your life took, each time you made a choice.-VINAY-
