He he nice to hear from you Nandini. I do tend to take a bit of poetic liberty at times and the rant goes on in a different direction like today. Curious to know though, what does this quote mean to you and where does its crux lie from your perspective?

Thank you for your kind words, I am a true believer in the strength of a personality which makes you achieve some tremendous things. Also, from the moment we start noticing simple things that can keep adding to our personality, I reckon it has a big influence on our growth and ability to take on newer challenges. This has perhaps been a guiding thought for me for years and has done some incredible difference to my approach to circumstances. Doesn’t always put me in the right spirit, but helps me get there a little quicker each time.

I am completely with you – today we have so many opportunities around us that it is almost a shame if we don’t make use of it to serve our needs. As you mention, there are so many things which demand our time each day. If we keep running behind them, we will always find that the important things seem to get lost in the melee. Things get done, but at times it makes me wonder where our important items stack up. More importantly, we are so attuned to serve the needs of people we love, the last precedence is taken by the inner self of ours. Call me selfish, but I am a big believer that it is internal strength and personality which can drive us a long way in attaining our own self satisfaction and a great perspective with which we can control things.

Gosh I sound like a control freak now :D :D

Though I felt that the explanation drifts a little away from the crux of the quote, I liked reading it better than dwelling in the quote 😉 You’ve touched a complex subject which has many layers to it. To look into what matters to you the most is ‘the’ essential need with the kind of busy lives we have. I face it in my day to day life. As a mom with two young kids, a messy home gleaming at me every morning, a job to be answerable at the end of the day, a handful of passions in my heart and mind and other relationships to manage, having clarity on my priorities is more than important, for those which I do not water for a while will die a slow death in time. In earlier times, I guess people were content with a simple 9-5 job they had in hand regardless of how happy or not they were with it. But today, we have opportunities all around us for improving and we refuse to buy an undemanding life. Reminds me how Darwin’s theory of natural selection is ubiquitous in its application.
