It was really a hectic day.
It was a wonderful event, no
doubt, many good speakers, variety of topics.
It was over, I was totally
exhausted. Entire day, I had concentrated hard.
I didn’t want to miss any of
those golden words.
In the evening, I was on my
way back home.
One new friend and me, both
of us were in a local train.
Thankfully it was Sunday
evening. The train was not crowded.
We were sitting comfortably.
But not talking much.
In fact I was planning for a
good nap.
Then all of a sudden something
happened.
That new friend of mine asked
me a question.
She asked,” What do you
think, which is the best place in the world?”
Oh no, not again.
I had enough of positive
thinking, motivation, manifestation, dreaming etc etc for that day.
I really don’t want to
answer any question.
People ask about dream,
passion, motivation, diet and exercise.
But nobody asked me about a
place yet
Also I found her tone very
peculiar.

I started thinking.
Being a mother of a four year old,
the first answer came to my mind was Disneyland.
My daughter talks about it
all the time.
But I knew that just can’t
be the answer.
Then my mind jumped to
Switzerland, my dream destination for a vacation.
But looking at my friend’s
serious expression, I knew that can’t be the answer either.
I gave up. I passed it girl.
I asked her,” I am not sure,
you tell me, what do you think?”
Then she gave one of the most astonishing
answers.
She said, “A Graveyard”
I jumped out of my shoes,
all awake.
“A 'What' ?” I tried to
reconfirm if I heard it right.
“Yes,
A graveyard, that’s the place where all of us have to go one day.”
She said firmly.
It is not over yet.
I
came back home and wrote just two words in my diary.
“Die
Empty”
That little conversation had
left a bigger impact on me rather than the full day workshop.
My friend was right.
It’s
your choice, either you finally reach the graveyard with all your strengths, skills, talents and
gifts or share it with everyone and die empty.
I already made my choice.
I
am an entrepreneur, I am a writer, I am a storyteller, and I am a truly creative
person.
My job is to tell stories, stories
that changed my life, stories that might change your life.
I want to spread my gift as
much possible as I can before I visit that most beautiful place ‘A Graveyard”.
I
want to “die Empty”
