61st Blog post! The world looks empty! Yet beautiful.

Shhhhh!! I said to one of my friend when we decided to take a walk early morning at 0530. We got up at 0500 sharp and took a pledge that we will go for a jog/walk starting today onwards, everyday like every single day. We said to each other "This is the oath we will follow for whole of our life". This jog/walk will be a part of everyday routine from today onwards and will go on until our last breathe. 

We were passionate and very enthusiastic. I cleaned my running shoes a day before and kept them ready for the morning and so did my friend. We slept a little early than our usual timings, kept the alarm for 0500. 

The alarm rang at 0500 exact. Of course the alarm is mechanical so it rings at the exact time we set it for. Not like us, who thinks to do something but can't as we are not mechanical. Is that the reason why we can't do certain things because we are not mechanical? May be I don't know. So the alarm rang and I looked at the watch. 0500 it was. It was little chilled outside and since the window was open, cold breeze was touching my face. I snoozed the alarm for another 5 minutes. It rang again and I did the same thing. Snoozed and slept. After snoozing it for almost 3 times, it automatically got cancelled and I finally dozed off without the irritating alarm sound. The exact same thing happened with my friend. 

We got up at 1000 then and went to office. While going I saw the Nike shoes that I cleaned and kept ready for the jog early morning. Nevertheless, we decided to go the next day. Same thing happened and the legacy continued. Now here comes a question who is actually stopping me from doing this? No one is holding my hands and tying me up so that I can't go. No one! It's me, my own self who is not able to do this. This is not just my own story but most of the people whom I meet on an everyday basis. 

They (including me) want to do certain things in life but can't and they have no reason for that. They are just lazy, a little lazier and always give a reason saying "I am really happy with my life and I don't need anything else". Hmm! 

I decided anyhow I have to go for a walk next day. No matter what happens. If I don't sleep whole night doesn't matter, or if I have to come and sleep again that's fine. I HAVE to do it! I kept the alarm for 0500 again. Closed my eyes and with good thoughts slept. Next day when alarm rang I just got up. In half and hour I was out of the house. I love my Nike shoes they are just amazing and I was wearing them. J

   

What I saw at 0500 was simply amazing. The world looked empty. I just saw the serene beauty. The birds chirping, the coconut water, juice center, the temple, people cleaning the street. I had my headphones and listened to few amazing songs. I saw calmness in people who were jogging with us. We shared smiles and kept on walking without a word speaking. I saw an empty world since not many people were there yet beautiful. The day after I got up without the alarm clock because that empty world took my heart away. And the people whom I see every day we've become friends. Smiling friends!

So what stops us from doing something in life???

I think you got the answer - Determination is the word! You will fail one, twice but that's when you have to get going because the third time things fall correctly. People usually give up in the initial try. And their lies a difference between successful and not so successful people.   

       

P.S: This is a self-motivation post. I have to go to office on time from tomorrow. No matter come what!
