A New Beginning

Your life is like a brook. All the small rocks and crevices that a brook flow encounters are people and experiences you face in your daily life, that shape you. You are a babbling brooklet, a small entity in this world, but focused in your goal and flowing on.

"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." 

                                                                                                                - C.S Lewis Are you happy? Truly happy with what you are doing with your life today? Are you tired of your mundane everyday? Do you sometimes ponder about spicing it up? Do you long for challenges and hurdles and beat them with pride and glory? Do you crave to let go off responsibilities and follow that big passion of yours? Ever wanted to prove those people wrong who never believed in you? Ever wanted to attain that self satisfaction of knowing, “Yes I can”? Imagined to live a better, fuller, happier life? Wanna make that relationship work? Wanna make each and every day worth its value? 24 hours, 1440 minutes and 86400 seconds in one day. Care to live it all…down to the last second of the day..? You are at the right place then, my friend. Let’s make it “A New Beginning”.  I have always been quite the stand-out person. It is painful to follow the crowd and do what everybody else is doing. Takes a lot of effort and setbacks, but the prize at the end-line has always been worth it. Wrote and published a children's book, "The Trio" in 8th grade, that came out in the city book fair. Took up Aerospace Engineering as my college major. Traveled across Europe before college. Spreaded my young wings far and bold to come to America for studying in college, right after high school....and so many more. These all have been a tinsy bit outside-the-shell acts. Have I had deep impressions and life lessons from all these..? Oh yes..! People were often surprised or inquisitive about my motives. But honestly, it felt great to have done something that I truly wanted and to follow my passion. It felt great to dig out that self-motivation from amidst all those negative criticism. And let me tell you. I ain't stopping. 

So, if you have been feeling down lately, take it from me. Everyday is a new day and nothing is holding you back from starting that “New Beginning”. Pick up an old hobby, start a new goal, train for a new target, whatever it is....its yours and only you can achieve it your way.  My "New  Beginning" started a month ago when I wanted to do most things differently than I always have. Looking at the bigger and brighter picture and taking up new challenges every day. Training for harder stronger fights. And it has been amazing. Being in graduate engineering school, with heavy coursework, its not easy to look outside the academic world and reach out to the bigger world of possibilities outside. I hear from my working buddies that work defines their life. Why not make your lifestyle define your work life...? Well, I am changing this style and I urge all of you to reflect on your present life and decide on how you want it to actually be like. And guess what..? You can change it. You can achieve those bigger things in life and not live the same monotone sonnet. Believe me. I have been seen remarkable results in the past when I combined outlook and perspective with a dash of determination and motivation. So, I want to share with you all as to how I do it. Lets vow this day that we will be better and accomplished people, with new goals and new attitude. Lets define a new US. Lets love and feel confident in ourselves again.  Running a marathon, learning a new language, seeing the world, flying a plane, doing better at school, scuba diving, spending more quality time with family, having a pet, take up a paint class, learn karate, quitting an addiction, read a book-a week, hiking, trekking, training for a triathlon, getting a better job, doing better at your present job…….are these a few that you have ever googled before? If you have, then follow me. I promise you will see a change in yourself, love yourself more and love the people around you more and finally love life altogether again. Its your prize at the end of the day. And you deserve it. Go up there on that triad and earn your hard-earned prize that you have worked for it. "The world is your oyster".   "Pack up your worries in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile."  - George  Asaf
