My Learnings…..My Transformations

 

C.D.S.I.E

Discipline was not part of my life in my childhood. Hence, bringing a routine into my life was a huge struggle. I just could not get myself to do anything consistently. Be it waking up early in the morning, or having a fixed time to study or pursuing a sport. There was a lot of randomness in everything I did. Probably I was lazy and preferred to relax. Pleasure dominated my life and took over my growth.

“Transformation is your willingness to grow from your “comfort” zone to “growth” zone through uncomfortable transitions.” -  mahatria

My learnings did not transform my life overnight or in a fortnight. Yet, I patiently worked on myself by attaching intensely to the process. It has taken me years to reach where I am today. Absolutely disciplined!  

Motherhood brought the first transformation in me. I was willing to do anything for my child, even if I was inconvenienced. There was a disciplined routine to take care of him.

That was the beginning of a disciplined and selfless life. I was consistent in everything that I did for him. Never spared a day. I gave up all my pleasures to be with him and help him navigate through his academics and sports. Nothing else mattered to me, except his growth. No social life, no television or movies, and I didn’t miss any of these. Today, I am a proud mother, who is watching the beautiful life her son is living. It took years of consistent effort to give him that unwavering support.

The next was, my becoming an educationist. I had to ask myself what changes I had to bring in myself to be worthy of the chair I occupied. My inner engineering began. I am still working on myself. When you work for a larger Cause, the best in you manifests. Thus, the leader in me emerged!

 I realized that we are ready to give up something when our love for the other is more.

Change held long enough becomes transformation- transcending the old formation is transformation. A seed in a bottle still remains a seed. It will not germinate. It needs a fertile soil.

Only a prepared mind can receive the wisdom. Probably my mind was ready to receive when my spiritual journey began. When the student is ready the teacher appears. It was true of my life. I was ready to listen…

Every value that I was taught became a part of my life only through Consistent Directed Self-motivated Intelligent Effort. I have been consistently practicing meditation, yoga, weight training, as a life style modification. It has become my way of life.

I am also practicing gratitude, restraint, acceptance, and many such positive qualities that are making my life so peaceful. Faith and surrender have become my DNA.

Anything that is practiced every day becomes a habit. Make growth a habit.

 

I can confidently say…

Day by day

In every way

I am becoming

Most and more

Healthy, wealthy

Loving, blissful

Peaceful, spiritual.
