Ashish Vidyarthi Instagram – There are many things that each of us wants to achieve… Both in personal and professional life. So we give it our best shot.. And many a times, fail to achieve it. We get tired, feel sorry for ourselves, experience being defeated… We then either give up, or continue battering ourselves to achieve, further wearing down ourselves and people around us.. Ouchh… Doesn’t it sound familiar? Well my life is no different.. So each times this happens, I begin by having a straight talk with myself. “Ashish, I know you are feeling sorry for yourself.. But get one thing straight.. No point in sulking and complaining to the world. For no one wants it as much for you,as YOU do. So… Reconnect with your HUNGER to achieve.. And take a pause ” That’s right, take a pause…. A pause, which may even seem like taking a STEP BACK .. But allowing oneself to think & look afresh… Which may also mean looking away from the target to get a macro vision… A fresh wider perspective. I have discovered the pause creates magical openings.. which seem so obvious in hindsight, but remained unseen in the midst of the struggle. Do share your take on what a step back has add to your life. Alshukran Bandhu.. Alshukran Zindagi www.avidminer.com #stepbacktostepforward
