Each one of us is a performer in some way or the other in our
respective lives. Right now a schoolboy in India is performing on the stage of
his annual day play at school. Somewhere someone in Germany is performing
in his business meeting. Somewhere in the USA, there is a mother preparing
breakfast for her family with utmost love and care. Somewhere in Nigeria, a
father is dropping off his daughter first time to her school.
All of these people are performers in some way or the other.
There is a unique power when you perform your duties. Be it a leader or not, be
it a teacher or not, be it a truck driver or not, your work defines you. It
defines who you are. Let me refine that, by no means am saying that if you
sweep streets it defines how low class person you are, WHAT I MEAN is that the
way you do your work, the way you carry out your daily chores, the way you find
the excitement in your boring routines, this particular “act of courage” ,the fire to find best in everything, this
is the thing that defines who you really are. And it does speak a lot about
you.
Martin Luther King stated it so beautifully that,” a street
sweeper should sweep streets so amazingly that when the angels of the heavens
pass on from the above they get surprised and say Here lived a street sweeper
who did his work so amazingly “
This is the power of the work which really defines you.What I
believe in is that A man is not known
by his name, he is known for his work. His Work is his Real Name.
What I really want you to do is that from now itself do your
work so amazingly that the world just can’t stop itself from praising you. How
would it feel? WOW ! Isn’t it?
Some Quick tips to achieve your own unique level of
greatness: -
1)
Never
ever settle for the ordinary. Always push the envelope. Nothing hurts worse
than the pain of never trying.
2)
Don’t
pay attention to the naysayers. It’s their job to "say". Do what you
love. Be it that way. If it matters the most to you, if it is the thing that
makes you work till 3 am in the morning without feeling tired then my dear
friend you have found the thing in life that will give you a kick!
3)
Whatever
work you do in your daily life, try finding out something exciting every now
and then to keep yourself energetic, your motivation levels high and to keep
you feeling that you are doing something meaningful in life.
4)
When
you perform, no matter where it is or what it is, that act of performance is a
live example of your talents, skills, abilities, qualities and your innate love
for the art you’re pursuing so make sure you render an exquisite piece of art.
There is this one thing I strongly believe in whenever you
perform to your highest level and when you try to reach even higher and higher,
you take that jump, that leap of faith when the whole universe conspires to
make your dreams come true. Those dreams don’t remain impossible by then.
If your work matters to you, you’ll definitely feel the power
of your performance and when you will feel it, that will be the point you’re
entering the arena of the genius!
Why wait?
Go for it !!!
This world is a massive stage. We all have some roles to
play. We just never know that when it will be over. So why not give it our best
shot and make the world give us a standing ovation! Sounds cool?
Stay motivated. Stay excited. Stay happy.
