BREAKTHROUGHS

                              

“Your breakthrough is on the other side of what you are resisting”

 When the bestselling author, Megha Bajaj, conveyed her desire to feature me in her book, The Breakthrough, along with ten other trailblazers, whom I looked up to, I couldn’t, for a moment believe what I heard. Me, to be featured in a book! There was disbelief, I must say. She spent close to eleven hours with me, probing into my childhood up to my recent past. She wanted to know the eleven key relationships in my life. As we got talking, I was animatedly telling her every important incident in my life. The eleventh relationship, who was the turning point in my life, created all the breakthroughs in my life.

 “Success is the product of daily habits, not once-in-a-lifetime transformations.”

 The breakthroughs in our life need not necessarily be something humongous. But every small change we bring has a compounding effect on our overall growth and transformation. Every action that you take in that direction should take you closer to the person that you wish to become. There are habits that we need to pick up, and there are habits that we need to drop. To develop the right habits, first identify those and make a list. Break away from the pattern you have formed over the years. It is easier said than done. Much as we desire, we cannot do away with all the wrong habits all at once. Only one at a time.

 As a student, there are may be some areas in which you need to improve. Cultivating the habit of reading, practicing  a time for everything and everything in its time, or a place for everything and everything in its place, striving to achieve a good handwriting, remembering to take the required books for the day, completing your daily assignments, developing a study routine, being honest, not indulging in vices, overcoming anger, giving up tongue conscious food, knowing how important all of these are, and turning each of it as a right habit, is also a breakthrough.  

Transcending our habits may seem very trivial, but millions are struggling to come out of their habits. Addiction to television, to gadgets, to substance, to alcohol, and the list goes on. We need not even think of Einstein moments in our life. If we can break away from the habits or patterns in our life itself, we can make great progress and achieve eureka moments in our life. Begin from where you can and reach where you should reach in life. By doing away with one habit at a time, you will gain confidence to do away with the rest. The secret is, to never give up

 “When you are about to give up, your breakthrough is just around the corner.”
