This blog is for a mid-aged person i met today.. But, yes he inspired me unintentionally and gave me food for thought !!
Well, I have been too engrossed at work , sitting home idle i realized i was getting too disheartened (with issues all over - career, life, family... ) and i was failing to change my mood. So just got up , wore my slippers and went on a long aimless walk!!
While crossing a shopping complex, I came across a person who was selling paintings worth Rs 100 - 150/- on a street. Mid -aged fellow , standing in creepy sun with a smile. Out of habit, I tried to negotiate on prices, however the person smiled back and said Maam thats my love. I like painting and come what may i dont compromise on my love. WOW!!!
Steve Jobs - My favorite person , an icon with an incredible name "Jobs" ... Well, he addressed Stanford in 2005, 6 yrs old video on Youtube still one of the best ones i came across till date !! He simply segmented life into three phases and each phase had 1 thing in common - "Love / Passion" which brings in motivation/ inspiration and hence success.
I suppose One needs to sit back and realize what he / she loves - should be something that makes you Happy. could be a person, can be a hobby as weird as "Going to graveyard to spend time with yourself (Yes i have a friend who visits graveyard JUST LIKE THAT).. what matters is whats that thing... Honestly, I am still confused on that one. But yea have been trying new things, exploring places, and off lately aimless walking and observing people !!
Well, the point i am trying to get at is - Guys dont sit back waiting for others to help you decide what you should do. When the intuitive nudge is there, Just DO IT!! For Noone else can decide what makes you happy (and hence inspired), but yourself.
Hope this blog leaves you with an inspirational thought, Shall wait eagerly to hear from all on the recent craziest thing they did which brought them a smile ( i Dont want to be filmy but yes i am not selfish either .. Its just a personal belief if you are happy your loved ones will be happy)..

The main idea is that you should do something for your passion, for your dreams; every time when someone asks you this you should have one extra line to add to it.
Thanks for bringing this up. Sometimes we strat living for our needs and we should not get into any such trap of life :).
Udito: So true , life always tries to make us "compromise" one way or the other, give up our passions / dreams (big words but they impact the execution bit in all walks of life) - Since kid first you gota beat that damn rat race. Then get into a Good Grad school and in fact i dont see anyone pursuing their dreams after class IX. Thats like when a like 12-13 yrs Old. I think we as individuals should prioritize life in such a way that love for things "Must" and things that make you happy should be struck nicely and all business icons if u see have that Attitude. I know i am not walking the talk these days but yes i had that approach all through before joining my job..
