What's Your Spark?

What is your spark? What is that you are really passionate about - that special something that triggers your energy levels and ignites the joy in you? Does it illuminate your life - make it more meaningful and bring that verve to your daily life?

A spark is not that something that pigeonholes you into a niche corner. It opens a vista of possibilities as joy brings in an element of openness and understanding of the immense possibilities arrayed in front of you. 

It means finding your thing, a reason for being alive, useful, and purposeful. "Spark of Life" is all about the excitement and intensity, even and inspite of, in the mundane - not allowing thoughts like being bored or feeling uninspired creep silently into your life. 

This requires discipline, concentration, and the commitment to cherish some special moments in your life and develop an uncanny knack for celebrating even the smallest of achievements as a catalyst to take your life forward in a meaningful and sustainable manner.

Gather All Your Grains

Life draws us to the wayside - it often makes us stop just short of our goals! We set aspirations and believe they cannot be achieved; every gap, every hurdle, every turn poses us a challenge! But what we need is the means to overcome those moments and gather momentum!

Some of our grains do fall on the ground! We can either trample on them or let others trample all over them. Or we can choose to gather all of them and bundle them to our safe bosom.

"The wheels of a threshing cart may be rolled over it, but one does not use horses to grind grain." Isaiah 28:28 

Do not thresh the grain too much nor for too long; just enough to dust off the loose soil and mould them into bread. Remember that you are no husbandman to your happiness. Only you are and can be the owner of your own destiny. You have the first right to the land of your dreams and you need to plow and cultivate the harsh ground, so you can reap all the fine grain.

Burn the weeds, harvest all the grain, and convert them into a fine flour. Then, bake your bread and break your fast of sorrow!

Own Your Destiny

You are the Master of your world; do not choose to become the Victim. Life is all about your choices and your decisions. They determine your destiny; it is not something that others can or should write for you!

Some stars shine bright, others fall a little short of their own glory, but the purpose of all stars is the same - to throw light on the land. 

Every star is unique. Just like each person has fingerprints, each star has a unique spectrum that sets them apart. And remember, if there were no stars, even our Earth would turn into just a large mass of a rock with ice. 

Try to be luminous and glow in the celestial land of achievements. And only you can set the tone, the pace, and the final goal - for that, you need to set your navigation and move from a frame of inertia to a state of activity. 

Frame of Inertia

Do you want to be embraced forever in a frame of inertia or be able to make your own destiny? Your life will be set to the plans you make and the actions you take. 

"You are the architect and builder of your own life, fortune, destiny." - Alfred Armand Montapert (1906-97)

Control your own destiny or someone else will. Delving into the past can refresh some cruel lessons - it is sometimes better not to turn back and refer worn-out pages, but to write afresh on future ones. 

Learn to outmatch, outreach, and outpace the vagaries of life. You are the protagonist of your own story. Do not blame destiny for all that is not working in your world. Sometimes, all it takes is to move from the state of inertia you've allowed yourself to settle down into and set a new frame of reference for yourself.
