Self motivation in Life

 Self motivation Blog.

I am a trained Bharata Natyam dancer.Started dancing and performing too right since 5/ 6 yrs of age.
Even with a very hectic MBBS and also during Postgraduation in Anaesthesia ,the continuous 72hrs duties- Day and Night ICU and OT - didn't deter me from my Dance classes and practices.
But Marriage and Birthing ,nurturing, caring, home management and Strenuous Anaesthesia private practice got me very busy.....
My passion for dance got forgotten for 2 decades.
A chance video taken by my daughter as I was showing her hand gestures on a Kathak song performed by Madhuri Dixit" Dhai Shyam Rok Layi".....
I was asked to perform in Anaesthesia CME .

Dancing after so many years.....
With fractures and surgeries, ligament tears....
And weight gain.....

Very Difficult.
Not easy.

But not IMPOSSIBLE.

Dancing requires energy, foot movements and rhythm.

The entire process was painful, strenuous and frustrating.

Steps needed modification.
I chose a famous high on energy Lavani.
With same glitches due to my weight and weak muscles....I managed to give a decent performance.

And it got me motivated to again start practicing.
Soon,the pace and practice increased.
I started challenging myself to reperform on all those songs I used to perform 20yrs back.

In life,after we leave schooling.....nobody is there to motivate us or compete for marks or prize...
No enterance exams to prepare....
No teachers nor coaching classes to guide.

It's upon us....to motivate and challenge to better ourselves and our life.
Whether we succeed or we quit.....
It makes no difference to anybody....
Opting for easier paths....
Avoiding hardships....
Quitting or backing out from challenges.....
Life will not stop....
Life will keep moving at it's own pace.

Self motivate yourself to accept challenging situations.
Even if painful, strenuous and frustrating if things don't work out inspite of hard work.....Never Quit.
Take 2 steps back,Pause,Modify ......
Keep walking.
Slow maybe......
But steady.

Self motivation is Key.
You won't be successful without it.

When I decided to perform few days back on a 8minute extremely fast paced difficult song which required great footwork and high energy......many doubted me.
But when I nailed it on stage, I got self satisfaction.

Same in life.
Many will doubt our credentials and capabilities.
Never allow others Apprehension and Insecurities about us over ride us.
Trust ownself.
Lastly,we don't self motivate to please others.
We do so to boost our confidence and self satisfaction of achieving and most important of at least trying.....whether results turn in our favor or maybe not.

Life becomes interesting when there are challenges.
Self Motivate yourself to accept them.
It allows you to discover your true potential and strength.

Only then Life actually brings meaning ....and worth savoring.
