An Angel Changed My Life

Few years back, some guests came to my place.

My three year old daughter was playing around.

The uncle asked, “What’s her name, her school’s name, which standard she is in, her teacher’s name etc.”

All were standard questions.

Like all other kids of her age, she was trained to answer them accurately.

Then something unexpected happened.

The Uncle asked, “When you grow up, what would you like to become?”

Stumped!!!

I agree, it’s another typical question.

But for my daughter, someone was asking it first time.

The answer was not already been taught to her like other questions.

 Naturally she was puzzled.

Then uncle pushed it further, “Your mom is an engineer, she had done her MBA and now working for Top MNC in the country. You have your role model at home.”

Just to simplify the things he answered in her behalf.

And off course that was a pat on my back.

Wait…It is not over yet!!!

I can feel a lot of colors on my daughter’s face.

First she gave a strange look.

It clearly indicates, “What rubbish you are talking about. Whatever is that? That’s not my mom.”

And then she said something which changed my life.

She said, “My mom is creating something called business for me and when I will grow up I will join her”

Everyone laughed, as it was a nice little joke.

But there were only two darn serious people in that room.

My little girl, very honest with her answer and me with freezed legs, pumping heart and eyes with tears.

Her answer was not only innocent but It was pure, non-rehearsed, clearly indicating confidence in me and giving assurance that she is there to support me always in my future ventures.

That was the one magical moment which changed my life, Forever.

That time was a struggling startup phase in my life.

I was not having much luck in my business.

With every failure I was thinking to go back and continue my corporate job.

But her answer cleared off all confusion.

Then, there were many ups and downs in my life and business.

But every time I need motivation, I think of this incidence.

And I get charged, every single time.

So here, I learnt my lesson.

Motivation doesn’t exist in books, movies, workshops and seminars.

It’s there around you, in your day to day life.

We closed our eyes and run behind some crap.

Stop that! Your motivation is waiting for you; somewhere deep down in your heart.

Your job is just to find it! Once you did, I assure you, the magic will begin.
