Difference between what we DO and what we WANT to DO.

I won't ask "Ever felt how is it like to fail interviews? or more precisely to get REJECTED , not just once but again and again." We all face that phase at some time in our lives. But ever noticed WHY?? . If I just talk about myself , I know I am not doing what I want , what I am supposed to , what i was made for. And now you will say there is nothing so special about it. There  are thousands and thousands of people doing exactly the same what I am doing ,that is Just  going on what they have got once. Then for those thousands of persons out there and for I too. Aren't we afraid to try out what we always wanted? Are not we too lazy to get out of our comfort zone? Aren't we too much scared to take small risks for our long lives? And the answer to every question above is YES! of course we are very much afraid to step out of what we are trapped in currently. We just want things to get better with time. It hardly matters what we are doing and what means what ever.
Ever Listened to the success stories of Big Bollywood celebrities. They all have this things embedded in their stories that they have slept on railway platforms , spent nights without shelter and what not!
And ever wondered how did they manage to do all this?? Because they had no fear of failing or they just had nothing to loose. They just knew what they wanted to achieve and just worked for it. Put their lives on Stake in achieving what they actually wanted. Unlike me or you (if there is someone out there like me ).
What I feel is that the middle class is the most "stuck with some thing" class. They are not rich enough to fulfil all their aspirations,dreams  and they just don't have the bandwidth to risk what meagre they have. Most successful persons either belong to High class or a low class. By this statement I am not quoting that Middle class remains unsuccessful, I am talking in terms of getting your dreams fulfilled. I have realised this thing that to make your life large , you actually need to get out of what we call comfort zone. If I talk about my myself , music is what gives me happiness , I always wanted to learn classical music but then again since I belong to a middle class family , all I could do was get best education. No I am not complaining about my family , they did the best they could do for me. But its about an individuals initiative I am engineer but I am just not satisfied with what ever I am doing. It does not make me happy. When you do what you love , what you have always dreamt of doing , it never bores you , it just leaves you refreshed even at the end of the day.
It gives you some other level of satisfaction. Money does not matter always. Its the life you wanted. The dream you always wanted to be a reality. Going back to from where I started , Failing interviews hurt but it should not because you never wanted to do what you were being interviewed for. What hurts is the thought : "Had I paid this much attention to my Dream , my interests , I would be at some other place" Just breathe and GET SET GO!
And Yes the only difference between what we do and what we want to do is HAPPINESS

P.S. It took more than two or three years to start writing a blog . Yes because I was so occupied with things that did not led me anywhere close to my dream.

  1. You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.

    What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
