Progress Progressively...!!!

Hi, recently I have gone through an article which is very useful for all of us...let me share this with you....

        We know that it was a revolution in food Industry, "Just 2 Minutes and your noodles will be ready to eat". Even in the company's outlet they are not able to serve the noodles in two minutes. And, we all know it takes a little longer to make it. But, your hunger was psychologically satisfied with the two-minute promise. No wonder, the product was a runaway success. We have never seen change in anybody's basic complexion and yet, the fairness cream does hit you can your psychological need. But the product does sell; in fact, sells in unimaginable volumes. The bollywood badshahs, ofcourse, do not use shampoos that are sold in Re.1/- sachet, for a dandruff-free hair. But, even the educated and the elite are psychologically brainwashed. We end up using all these products, hoping against hope.
         Here the issue is not with the products or their advertisement campaigns, but what the visual media has done to the mass psyche of you and me. We have become desperate. We want results and we want it fast. Today we want everything instant. Instant tea, instant coffee, instant food, instant money (ATM), instant reply, instant cure instant recovery, instant fame and the list is endless. It has gone to the extent where people go to a spiritual retreat and expect instant nirvana, instant moksha...
         We enroll in a gym and on the seventeenth day (of which we missed 5 days), we stand in front of a mirror and try to see our biceps, triceps and body shape. If we don’t find muscles develop, we lose our interest to continue. We instantly want instant body shape of all those men whose posters hang on the walls. Even without completing the full course of medicine we want to instantly get okay and move on to work. We sit in the seat of meditation for a few weeks and expect to transcend the mind. Common complaint is I am meditating but still thoughts are coming.
         The curing of the slab and walls takes time. We have to wait for sufficient time before moving to the next level construction activity. There are no short-term solutions to long-term issues.
Implementation and application of solutions takes time. Let us learn to hold on. Only by holding long enough we will have long lasting and permanent results. Let's instantly drop the 'instant barrier'.
         There are no shortcuts to the quality of life. 'Instant' is not possible with life. It takes time. Desperation for results will only result in ambitious time frames and ambitious time frames will only results in stress, unnecessary pressure and compromises on quality.
         So, Start instantly, but progress progressively. A lifetime is left. Why hurry? Take the steps. There is no elevator to the top, when it comes to life. One step at a time...

  1. Similarly... if we plant a mango seed it takes enough time to grow as a tree and give the mangoes. Everything in life will require sufficient amount of time to ripe.
