Once upon a time, I dream of having tea with my family
near my office in the town.
It was not a dream; it was a reality of my life
that I have this tea almost everyday and then go to office and then have
the same tea with family and sometimes with colleagues. Like me, others
also have it during the day or late in the evening with their family or alone.
It is not the taste of the tea I am talking about here. It is something
else.
I just realised, I never wished to have this routine job of going to office and having a cup of tea. I always feel I do not belong here.
I know it is
very easy to be like everyone and move with the flow of life, but very tough to
be unique. There is uniqueness in all of us though we never prefer the different
path over this monotonous life; those who are able to convince themselves and
have strong faith in their uniqueness, irrespective of their risk taking
capability, blossom and don’t regret this life.
You have to decide, as you have tea on a daily basis, may be after two decades i.e. when you reach your fifties, if you ask question to yourself about your life, what your answer will be.
Will it be “happy”, “very
happy”, “satisfied”, or “proud of what you are doing”? Then you must work on your
desired answer right now.
When we dream of something it should have proper appetite
and substance.
This dream can come at any time and can be about anything, but
it must be directed towards that one step, which will be the first step to
achieve the dream. 
Even if you are not 100% sure of the one step, you must go
with it. The first step takes a hell lot of time but it is only you and your
conviction, passion and perseverance that will decide the fate of this first
step.
Many reach towards this first step when they realise the
importance of this dream in their lives.
Recognising, then elevating and hence
prioritising this dream in your life may require not only time but also devotion
as it requires convincing yourself and precisely listening to your inner voice.
We
live only once. Whatever we want to do, we have to do in this short life. Time
never waits for anybody. As an old proverb rightly said, “Time & Tide wait
for none”.
Are you ready for this firststep or do you wanted it to be just one of those tea dreams which will not be fulfilled in reality?
It is nobody but you who decides whether you wish to attain
a strange kind of peace at your fifties, and thus respect your uniqueness by
respecting God hidden inside you.
