One gentleman shared his experience. At the age of 35 he had achieved all he had thought. He started his business from zero at the age of 17, when he was challenged by his uncle. His business was now bigger than his uncle and everyone else in the family. For 17 years, he kept working hard, achieved everything, and then he felt that he had, what all he wanted. But then something happened. The moment he started thinking he had achieved all, his business stopped growing. He felt tired and exhausted. Now, nothing stays same. When he felt it’s all done, it started going down eventually in sometime. He wondered what happened? Where would he land? In sometime, his business came down to half. He wondered what happened. It was another milestone. and there is no destination. It’s a journey which we keep travelling. He realized this after losing a lot and he started working again with a bigger goal. This time not to prove to others but to achieve for himself. He grew much faster and his business grew by many folds.
Whatever we are, a doctor, a vegetable seller, engineer, CA, businessman, we all are traveling a journey. When we reach a point that we had always thought, we need to start setting new milestones. Everything, every point is a milestone. Feeling tide? Take some rest and set new milestones. Feeling exhausted? Rejuvenate yourself. They say, you have finished your life running after money and it is wrong. No, the wrong thing is to stop doing the karma. The right thing is, keep going and doing things. Sometimes it’s for money, sometimes for health, sometimes for the welfare of society. And honestly, as per me, everything goes along. We cannot say, I will take care of my health, once I have achieved this much wealth. Or I will start serving society, once I have achieved this much level in my life. No, we do things simultaneously. Or else one will be left too far behind.
Keep travelling your journey. Keep setting your milestones. Keep achieving your milestones. And the destination? It’s always going back to from where we have come. It’s our real home. And never forget we have to go back there. There is no one immortal. So travel your journey well with utmost honesty.
