A pleasant morning has many beautiful things in store for the following day to evolve colours in you! You look up at the sky, lying lazily in your bed and listening to the whispers of the morning chirps! Rise-n-shine! You chalk out your plans and draw up a schedule that you are suppose to follow. Everything streamlined and prioritized!
The day begins. You pull up the garb of professionalism and start materializing on your strengths, extracting profits by every move. You work hard and smart! “Earning loads of money was never my aim. I work for job satisfaction!” Many applaud at your ‘humble’ and ‘genuine’ comment!
Showered by praises and accolades, you bask in your own glory! No doubt you deserve it, since you have toiled hard and achieved your goal! You had set your target, achieved it and are pursuing the career you chose for yourself! “Great son, I am proud of you! You have gracefully established your position among the very few who make their dreams come true!” Those words of your dad reiterate in your ears, boosting your spirits and self-esteem!
Everything is fine, until…..until someone places you next to God!
You are not supposed to go wrong! You can’t err! You make miracles happen! You are the protector of the weak! You speak up for justice! You lend a voice to the sufferer and fight for them! You are the true LEADER !
You feel all the more elated! However, all this seems to be somewhat scary! All sorts of “What ifs” start threatening your competence! You drive yourself to the extremities to retain your tag of what “they” (people) perceive you as! Life no more becomes a pleasant morning, but starts sliding into the scorching noon! You need a helping hand yourself!
And then, she emerges! A serene and glowing look on her face! A feeling of security, content and experience defining her role in your life! Your MOTHER! She is the only one who expects nothing and showers everything on you! You feel relieved!
“Son, I am just here to say that I love you very much. I know that how crucial these years are for you! But, my boy, won’t it be a little wise to as well savour the life in these years! Slow down a bit! I want my boy to age with wisdom and not with money! To cherish relationships and not just ownerships!”
You feel tranquil and cheerful as if a life regained!
Hey, Good Morning!
