Mai Hoon Hero #WriteAPageADay

There was a time when I was high on my goals, achievements and milestones. I used to believe in aiming for short-term goals and then achieving the bigger ones in the process. But then I realised that in the process of achieving goals, I am losing on my daily life, unable to live in the moment. So, now I am not crazy about achieving my goals. We may plan a lot, but only a few will work out. 

Today, I am writing this from a hospital bed. This was definitely not what I had planned to be even a week back. But the fact is, here I am, getting ready for a minor surgery under local anaesthesia. No matter how insignificant it is, it is a part of my life which was never part of my goal. But I had to accept it. Similarly, there had been a lot of incidents that had been a hindrance in the way of achieving my goals, and I accepted it, forgetting about the goals and rather trying to build up from the situation that came my way. It is very difficult to accept, but it is reality. I am not writing this out of despair, or out of hope, rather I am sharing this to let know that sometimes we have to let go of our goals or work a bit slowly, try to think from a different perspective and work on. While dreaming high is definitely necessary, it is often quite challenging to work towards that dream. This is my personal pov. It may differ from others. 

I have set some attainable goals this year, and if I achieve the top 3 of those, I will surely pat my back, celebrate it in some way and be my own hero. I have decided that even if I can cook a meal well, I will consider it an achievement and be my own hero.
