Life is full of fun, ups and downs, it depends upon how one views it as well.I also, like many of you have been through the roller coaster,and got those thrilling and exciting moments.Edge of the seat moments and sheer goosebumps sliding down the rollers ,coasting away down sharply at good speeds.Yet , one realises that you are up and away on the next bend and curve, battling the G forces and wanting more thrills.
I get these kind of spontaneous moments so often and I have always been a guy who has taken these decisions in life , literally spontaneously.Call its God's guidance, gut feel, leap of faith, walking into a Black hole,calculated risk taking and much more.To tell you the truth , I have been always lucky to have them all work in my favour.My Guru , gave me that confidence years ago.I posed a question in front of him when I was going to take a major leap in my career, going from a high end brand to an unknown entity, from a plush premises to a small dingy setup, from organised chaos to utter disaster that prevailed, from a metro to a small town where the big MNC had set up or intended to set up its operations.I had never ever carried out this work. I had no clue how I was to do all that.The expectations were high.My mother too was apprehensive and was not quite happy about me leaving a super premium Luxury car brand and stepping into the unknown trying to make a brand of it.But , that was the step I took and it turned out to be the best years of my life, professionally.Simply classic.It came with tons of efforts and hardships no doubt but gave me so much of confidence and I found that man can do what ever he wishes to do and has enormous capability given to him by almighty.He only has to believe in himself and he or she can do wonders.
I bought cars, property, and many materialistic things in my life on the spur of the moment.Every instance, I thanked god and asked him for his blessings at all times.Never did I fail to deliver.It took time in many cases but it happened.Be it switching jobs, getting admissions for my daughters even in mid term, having switched states and universities( mid term and delayed) and knowing fully well what it means to get such admissions in good schools and colleges.Never once did I have to pay donations.I came across instances where, having seen situations completely negative in front of me , i got the strength to still face up to it and turned it around.This was , probably a miracle,but it happened on more than 5-6 occasions and that cannot be a miracle only.This now i firmly know.I get a flash at any odd hour and i then make a note of it and start working towards it.I have shifted 10 jobs in 30 years, with 7 locations , one of them abroad as well , with no relatives etc to support.By god's grace , I am proud to say I am a self made man.What ever, i have earned is from real efforts and and not through the easy money which people go for now a days.This money doesn't last.I have instances where my mother inspired me to do certain things, or my kids or wife mentioned something and I got it done, or I noticed something while walking on the street or even at midnight I have woken up and changed a decision( a major one) getting out of deep slumber.I treat these occasions like directions from almighty and go headlong into it ,without fearing the consequences.My family initially used to get worried , they faced their own situations because of my decisions, but they never cribbed.They supported me whole wholeheartedly.Its very important to have that support.specially from your wife and children.
What ever we are today is due to this spontaneity and I would suggest everyone, trust your guts, make a quick back of the envelope calculation, and go for it.Don't procrastinate.Just do it.Once in , take it to its logical conclusion.Don't make a U-turn.Never go back to the same place where you once leave.Keep walking.Live and enjoy that spontaneous moment and you will cherish it for life.This post too was spontaneous :)
