What it takes
So what does it take to excel in life? to achieve one's goals? you can come up with a host of words like hardwork, persevrance, blah bah; hmm, all that is required, but they dont work when the key factor is missing - and that is called "drive". When you lack the drive to do something, no matter how much hardwork you put into it, you cant get where you want to.
Now how do you get the "drive" to do something?? is it a quality that you have to practise and improve? no! not at all! drive should come naturally. It will. Every human being has a drive to do a different thing. Some person might get a high by coding, another will get it while playing music, yet another will really happy just sleeping most of the day. Now the society tends to call the last kind of person as "lacking any drive". Thats because we view this person as not doing anything that will advance him/her as a human being.
There goes! so all human beings are basically trying to "advance" or "evolve" into something. We have lots of desires. To satisfy some, we go to any extent that is needed. But to some others, we remain "as if" helpless and hope that they will be "automagically" satisfied some day. One day we all want to be able to bring all our desires come true just by thinking about them. That is where we want to go.
Drive comes out of passion, and passion, out of the deep desire. Every human being has a drive to do something, its just a matter of listening to our inner selves and find out what that drive is.. it doesnt take too much time to discover it, you can ask your close friends to tell you what is it that you talk about most often and they will help you discover what your drive is.
When a person works along with the drive, he outshines others. There are too many people around working opposite to their own drives. I see too many people wanting to be onething, and then being something else becuase of the "circumstances". What happens if you dont do what you deeply want to do all your life?? Nothing much, you live a life of mixed happiness and unhappiness and at the end of it all, you suddenly realize that you should have shown the finger to the world and gone ahead with your passions; hmm, and then you choose to return to this world - with a different name, with a different form. Will that help? theres a caveat. You also choose to forget all about your past life, comfortably so it wont disturb you when you are experiencing this life.
This is a giant illusion, that we choose not to see. So, go for it today. What is that you are passionate about. Go for it!
