READING

Reading always helps you become a better person from what you were the previous day or the previous moment. It transforms you into a better version of yourself. The version which is more calm, more wise, more understanding and more loving and more importantly it makes you more receptive and aproachable towards many isues in your lives.

But this is not an overnight process, where one book will change you forever.

The way you need gym and exercise everyday to strengthen your body and no sooner do you leave the habit, you return to your previous unhealthy form; similarly even your mind needs the workout of reading regularly.

Whenever ashes get settled over the burning coal, they need the blowing of wind for the coal to blaze in a better way to its fullest potential; similarly whenever the ashes of negetivities assemble over the burning coal of your lives, you too need the blowing from the wind of reading.

So reading is a journey and not a destination and every one must walk on this path as long as they can...

Ash over the burning coal

Whenever we burn the firewood, after some time when the fire calms down and we see the orange hued burning coal, its such a beautiful site to see. But as time passes further there acumulates ash over this blazing shine and u can no longer see the orange hue. Partially it appears as if there is no trace of heat or fire within, but the truth is that the fire is still der, only thing is that it is concealed. At such time only a slight air blow can help to uncoverer the hidden fire, by blewing off the accumulated ash.

Same thing happens to humans too. There comes this phase in everyone's life when we feel that we no longer carry the fire, the zest which we carried a long back. We start feeling as if we have lost it all. And we begin to lose our confidence.

But this isn't the end of it. Like the burning coal, there is just this accumulation of ash with the fire still brewing underneath.

At such time we too require blewing off of the ash. But then here is the main cliche.

Very few people do realise this that they can bounce back to their original self or may b a better version of their previous self. Either we need other people's help or we ourselves have to do it.

But i personally feel that in today's hectic world we can't fully depend on others for our own progress. At such time we only need to get up and blew off the ash that has been accumulated over the fire of our life.

And its the intensity of the will power of the individual to bounce back. And we have all seen the examples of other successful people who became more successful when they bounced back after the phase of dormantness.

So the trick lies in remembering the fact that, HOWEVER BAD THE SITUATION MAY BE, HOWEVER LONG IT MAY BE, WE ALL HAVE THE POWER TO BLOW OFF THE ASH SETTLED OVER THE BURNING COAL OF OUR LIFE AND ATTAIN ALL THAT WE DESIRE.
