"It's not about finishing; it's about you being there on the starting line" - A tagline I read in the newspaper. How true a statement that none of us actually and truly understand. All we are worried about is the finish, result, future, end, or the final act. This kept me thinking for a while and then I thought, I should pen down a few things that we all know but forget to implement. How important is the end or result? I guess very important. All our actions/ behaviors, thoughts/imaginations etc have only one focus point and that is the finish line. Truly said that "keep your eyes on the goal and you will achieve it", but in the bargain don't we actually miss out on the lovely experiences on the way to the goal.
We are so busy concentrating on the goal that we forget the enormous, small yet beautiful events, people, acts or scenes that help us reach where we want to be. The journey as they call it starts at a point. But we forget to place ourselves firmly and strong at that point. Nor do we prepare in advance or research, neither do we know the start point many a times. Yet we believe, some day our efforts would take us to the goal. Midway through our journey a feeling of being lost creeps in and there is a period when we actually doubt our ability, strength, desire or even the goal. When this feeling sets in we try to alter or give up on a lot of things, the worst one being the task and goal itself. To avoid all these confusions midway, planning, research, setting milestones, listing the stages of work that will enable us to reach the goal, a clear picture of the goal, positive attitude, a willingness to take charge of the situation, persistence, an open-minded attitude to learn at every step is needed.
But the most important is to keep a firm foot on the starting line. A foot that is filled with confidence and is ready to face the challenges One which is ready to take up any responsibility and to strive to reach where it dreams to be.
I have just started off the journey, and I have done my research. Also I have a few guides to help me through. Looking forward to the journey, its experiences and meeting the people who will help me get a step closer to what I want to achieve. Here's wishing all who want to get there and do that or be that, the very best of luck!
And don't forget "It's not about finishing; It's about being there on the starting line"
