Embracing Change

It has always been my endeavour to do something that can somehow bring about CHANGE. I prefer starting with small steps than take big leaps. Recently I have been urged by my soul to bring people together…which I felt have distant, with time due to circumstance or pure ignorance. Well this includes me too. This awakening happened very recently. Why it happened, how it happened. Well, I am still trying to figure it out. But it has happened and it has happened for good. Though, I consider myself as one of the culprits who got so preoccupied in the life’s ‘Rush Hour’ that I forgot that there is life beyond the desk, the
laptop & the never-ending meetings.
Being in the field where we call ourselves “Communication Specialist”, I myself became so uncommunicative to people outside the circumference of my work world; people who are my own – people who are my family, some who missed me when I was never there, few who love for who I am and still forgave me for my no-involvement. It has been a self-realisation and I feel sorry for being so indifferent to all of it.
I feel something inside me changed. The change is so drastic that it has urged me,
motivated me and is now pushing me off the ledge to work towards bringing atleast
my own together. One of Mahatma Gandhi’s profound and deep quote is – “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” I couldn’t agree more and my totally implementing it in my life as well. Though I’ve always have worked in a fashion that
has brought about changes, till now, to everything that had to do with career accomplishment. But this time it will be different. The change will happen but in My World and I WILL make it happen, whatever it takes.
I have just about managed to take the first step successfully. With this I have understood that, people who love me have understood my intentions so clearly. Their willingness to support me has given me the strength to walk tall, all the way through. And I just hope it continues and things in my world become more colourful. That is something I really pray for, from my heart.
Well another thing that really surprised was those few who have suddenly become so involved. They were always there but I only failed to notice there love & affection for me. Infact, I don’t even remember interacting with them on a daily basis and today, we
just can’t stop. It’s funny, it’s weird but you know what… it makes me happy, really very
happy.
If at the end of the day I am able to bring change in people by just a small initiative, I believe I can do a lot more by being more involved and be part of my world that was less visited.
