Cephaz Series (2): Be Yourself

In life, it doesn't matter from where you are coming, where you are going or how you are going to get there? Aside from what you want to accomplish, what kind of a person do you want to become as a result of all the work and effort? 

People who achieve great things in life are invariably those people who give a lot of thought to their own evolution and growth. These people are like master craftsmen, constantly shaping and polishing their lives to become more worthwhile and important. Great thinkers become exceptional by design, not by accident. What really motivates them? I wonder what, rather who, motivated these self-made men and great minds like Walt Disney, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Thomas Edison, Isaac Newton! It’s difficult to think what will motivate you. 

We are often asked this question- 'Who is your role model?' I think hard. Really hard. I think of great people and ask myself, will this great philosopher really influence me? Do I want to become like him? In my head, the answer is always a 'No.' in my honest opinion; a person himself can motivate or de-motivate himself. One needs to find inspiration in what he is doing, not in different people. Motivation is the difference between waking up before dawn to pound the pavement and not lazing around the house whole day! 

So, have a deep desire to achieve something great, a desire to have a more satisfying life, a desire to be happier in every way. If you have these desires, you are a dreamer. All you need to do is find yourself an inspiration. It can be a book, a quote, a job or anything that gets you even an inch close to your dream. That would be your motivation. YOU are all you can be. Go on and be it.

The Best Person you can ever be is yourself.
