Met a gentleman who is a very successful businessman. He has a big house and many other properties. His business is running successfully and he is proud of what he is. I asked him the reason for his success and his said that my constant efforts to make my life better than it was yesterday.
In 1995, his brother gave him 4 lakhs rs and kicked out of business. he was married and had 4 children. He wanted to cry and die. Then he kept crying for few months and nothing happened. He developed bipolar disorder, where for six months he gets into a mode where he could not work. So every year he started getting just six months to work. So it was almost a year. He had already sold his wife jewelry by now. He accepted that if he keeps sitting like this and crying, nothing would change. So he will have to do something. Even it is proved that life is bad, his brother is bad, he has an ailment, he would sympathy, people would talk bad about his brother but in reality what would change. His situation would still remain same. Realizing this he decided that everyday I would make my life better than it was yesterday. He did odd jobs, would travel whole night for small trade and finally he made it.
We all have enough reasons in life to sit and complain about. There is no one here who has an easy life. They may be in different phases and in different areas of life. We can either complain and wait for some messiah to come and help us. Or we can make a constant effort to improve it. We need to look into the mirror and see the person who would really help. We need to take a promise from that person to be strong and work hard. We need to make a promise to do what all it would take to improve things. We need to promise not to give up. We need to stand up for ourselves. We need to stand up with a promise that I would make my life better everyday.
