Know the Next Chapter !
“You can’t start the next chapter if you keep reading the last one”. A beautiful quote by American actor Michael McMillian. I guess this should be the first lesson that we all should be taught in our schools. Do you know why I said that ? Because it is a life changing lesson. If you keep yourself holded on some area then you can’t enjoy the beautiful things that lie ahead. To enjoy them you need to start with a new chapter in your life. It is common that all of us need to go through some tough times but the thing you need to know is that it is not the end of life. The Motto we should follow is 'accept the facts and move on'. All the sorrows, loss and sad times can be made to happiness by the magical power of moving forward in life.
I would like to ask you a question. When you're reading a book, do you like to stop midway? No right ! Then why do you stop the story of your beautiful life midway. Only by reading till the last page you would know how good the book was. To make the book more interesting there should be sorrows, happiness, memories and of course more importantly it should make you curious to know what comes next.
As usual I like to make it short and sweet by telling a beautiful story of a beautiful woman. The story of Kalpana Saroj. You might be thinking we know Kalpana Chawla, but who is Kalpana Saroj? Wait, I will tell you her beautiful story.
Kalpana was born to a Dalit family in Maharashtra. At the age of 12 she was married off. But unfortunately she was physically and mentally tortured by her in-laws. She had to face social discrimination and pressure and even leave her husband. At one point she found herself in a condition where she couldn't continue with her life. At that point she attempted suicide. She decided to stop her life midway. But when the suicide attempt failed she decided to submit her life to the situation. She slowly started taking her problems as lessons to advance herself. She relocated to Mumbai and started working in a garments company. From there she slowly grew. Today she is an entrepreneur and the chairperson of Kamani Tubes. Her business empire is worth 900 crores. The government of India appreciated her hard work and determination and was awarded with Padma Shri in 2013.
She is really a motivation to all who decide to stop their life midway without even knowing what their life is really meant for. Never even think to stop midway. Keep moving. All the best. Don’t forget to keep your beautiful smile on your beautiful face. Have a beautiful, smiling day. 🙂
