Commit to the world around you

Ariver needs two banks to flow. The difference between flood and a normal river is that water flow is regulated in a river whereas during floods, water has no direction. Similarly, the energy in our life needs some direction to flow. Today, most people are confused because there is no direction in life. When we are happy, there is a great deal of lifeenergy in us; but when it is not channelised, it gets stuck. When it stagnates, it rots. For life-energy to move in a direction, commitment is essential.

Life runs with commitment. If we observe all small or big things in life, they go with certain commitment. A student takes admission in a school or college with a commitment. Needless to say, a family runs on commitment: mother is committed to the child; child is committed to the parents; husband is committed to wife; and wife is committed to husband. Greater the commitment, greater the authority and easier the things become. Smaller commitments suffocate us because our capacity is much more.

When we take up multiple tasks and if one of them goes wrong, we can focus on other jobs so we are less affected by the failure of that particular job. On the other hand, if we take up a single task and if it goes wrong, our working is greatly affected. Usually we base our commitment on resources. On an experiential level, if we take up bigger commitments, resources are attracted automatically.

Whatever we are committed to brings us strength. If you are committed to your family then your family supports you, if you are committed to society, you enjoy the support of society. Commitment will always bring comfort in the long run. One should make a commitment to make this world a better place to live.

We are all born in this world to do something wonderful and unique; don't let this opportunity pass by. Give yourself the freedom to dream and think big. Have the courage and determination to achieve those dreams that are dear to you. Many times, people who dreamt big were ridiculed but they remained strong to achieve their goals.

Do something creative. Not a year should pass without doing something creative.
