Someone asked, "Why do we have brakes in a car"? Varied answers were received, like, "To stop", "To reduce speed", "To avoid collision" etc., but the best answer was, "To enable you to drive faster" Give it a thought. It's true but seldom such smart out of box thinking is done, much less appreciated. For a moment assume you have no brakes in your car then how fast will you drive your car?! It's because of brakes that we can dare to accelerate, dare to go fast and reach destinations we desire. At various points in life, we find our parents,teachers, mentors, friends and spouse etc. questioning your progress, direction or decision. We consider them as irritants or consider such inquiries as "brakes" to our ongoing work. But, remember, it's because of such questions (read periodical brakes) that you have managed to reach where you are today. Without brakes, you could have skid, lost direction or gone astray or met with an unfortunate accident !!!. Learn to appreciate the 'brakes' in your life.

Make this promise with yourself that you will "disappear" until the time you achieve your goals. Come out of that those mindless things like random scrolling, random thinking , and etc. Anything random will never give you definite results. For that you must disappear and put your everything in your work. It will be scary initially , may be exhausting too. But the moment you start disconnecting with things which are least important and prioritize the things which are most important which will see a change. You need not revolutionaries your life in one day. You just have to come out of all your habits which are serving you no purpose and pulling you away from your aim. You must connect with yourself , question yourself and indulge in your work. That's the reason why only a few make it in lakhs. Because you must be good at picking things that are most important. You must have this quality to disappear, when life wants you to be with unwavering focus. It's the need of the moment champ !✨
