Challenge yourself. Chase a purpose.
What were the chances of a renunciate sitting under a Bodhi tree build a new consciousness to the world? But didn’t he.
What were the chances of Swami Chinmayananda creating a renaissance where only four people listened to him on his first discourse in Pune? But did he not in his own right?
Started with an investment of Rs.10,000 in a rented two-bedroom flat, did it not become a world class organisation – Infosys.
At a time when everything was becoming more expensive, one man believed a car can be created for 1 lakh and didn’t he reengineer the whole process and gave something which was a breakthrough of its own right?
Every legendary accomplishment in the world began with the beginning, where the size of the goal, the size of the cause, the size of the purpose was illogically too large to the individual who began in that direction.
Whether it was Mahatma Gandhi or Gautama Buddha or Rajaram Mohan Roy or Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela or whether it was Ambani…
If they all thought it cannot be done, it is impossible, took stock of why it cannot be done, nothing would have happened. But they all did something very different.
They went as far as they could see, and when they reached there and saw further.
It’s better to chase a purpose larger than yourself and reach where you can reach than to chase a goal well within your grasp.
Challenge yourself. Chase a purpose.
