Morning Thoughts Series - Inspiration found on Instagram

 

The other day I was going through my newsfeed and came across a video by 'itsdanielmac' on Instagram. If you don't know who Daniel is, he is an American content creator who asks people driving luxury cars what do they do for a living. His posts are followed by many as they give an insight into what career choices have earned them such luxurious cars. The brief interactions almost always give the career choices those luxury car owners have made and sometimes the viewers and Daniel end up getting one-liner masterclasses. 

In one such instance Daniel approached a luxury car owner who was wearing a mask, upon being asked the question what does he do for a living, the man pulled down his mask revealing his face and answered: "I am Jason Derulo.. for a living". Jason Derulo is an American songwriter and singer, who then recognised Daniel and told him that he likes Daniel's videos. The interaction might have been a surprise for Daniel, however, Jason's response left me contemplating on different planes. 

How passionate and committed one should be towards one's calling to reach a point in life where one's name is enough introduction. Jason has certainly inspired me to be what I am and stay true to myself with his response; with a heartfelt thanks to both Daniel and Jason, I began my day more resolute than ever.

Morning Thoughts Series- SUCCESS

 

Why do we have business/working days and non-working days? Why people long for weekends or holidays?Why do people fear Monday?

As Allen Watts asks his students, if money never existed, would they be doing the same thing? The answer is rarely a yes.
It simply shows people don't like what they do.
Human beings are unique in their own way but the uniqueness is often discouraged in exchange for a lifestyle labelled as Successful by the society. We are all taught to follow the same line where we make our next generation to grow through the same ritualised patterns of running after the so called successful life.

Its high time we understand that Success is subjectively defined. It varies from person to person in ways that most of the time don't obey the generalized expectations of society. Think about it, when you do something you love doing,  life, the difference between working and non working days vanishes, there won't be any working hours too because every moment, every  hour, days, months, years or simply a life time you enjoy what you are doing. So lets begin the change in some way and give the future generations the opportunity to define their success and relish every moment of life.

Yours Truly,
