We are always in pursuit mode- pursuit of happiness (or
happYness J),
pursuit of contentment, pursuit of six pack abs, pursuit of the best street
food, pursuit of love, pursuit of instant gratification and the list continues…
Sometimes these are attainable, sometimes not. But more often than not, when
one pursuit ends, another one begins. It is just an endless, pointless race- a
rat race, some call it. I say it is a defining journey, a pursuit of
self-identification.
I am not asking you to run faster than others; but run or
walk or trudge. At least move. Please just move! Move towards anything that you
want to pursue- becoming a dancer; excelling at your job; singing in 4 octaves;
meeting the girl next door (don’t literally move towards her, at least not when
others are watching :P); learning a new language; or even getting married (a
courageous friend of mine registered on shaadi.com).
Don’t be bogged down by someone else’s judgment about your
pursuits. They might seem trivial or trash to everybody else but you. But they are yours for a reason. I am
obsessed with clean bathrooms! Yep, however weird that might sound, cleaning
bathrooms is one, at least of late has become, one of my major pursuits.
Also, when you take up something, ensure you bring it to
completion. Yeah, easier said than done! But try and give it your best shot.
So what are your pursuits? For starters, try ‘pursuing’ that
bus/train to work tomorrow (on time)!
