Passion & Calling.

I write this particular post for somebody special and I hope that you shall know when you read it. I have read over the years and heard from so many people that when you find your calling you have found the true meaning of life and living.Recently I came to know you and I was struck with certain aspects of your person. The way you care about what you do, the passion you have for your profession and the dedication you have towards it. When I talk to you I can feel the passion dripping out of your every word for your chosen field. At times I feel it is supreme meditation and  'bhakti'  that you indulge in while discharging your professional duties. And it is such a selfless pursuit that I feel I need to learn a lot from you. I know without doubt that you have not reached where you have reached without paying heavy prices for it along the way and in no way would the path be easy even now, but you have stuck to it and that is what matters. 

The way you serve others makes me want to tell you that I have an immense amount of respct for you and it keeps growing. I also feel compelled to say that your attitude is so infectious!! With so much happening around you which is no doubt stress generaing you still look at the positive side of life. Not to mention that you love dogs too!!! It can't get better than this.

I wish and pray that your passion never dies but grows each day, each moment!!

That one Person.

What I am going to write today will strike a chord with a lot of you. The other day somebody gave me a compliment which set me off thinking and smiling. The compliment went "if I had met a person like you earlier in my life I would have got inspired to achieve so much more as a human being. At the end of the day it is that one person which makes all the difference in  life." No need so say it brought a smile to my lips but it also made me wonder.

The more I think the more I realize how true it is. Who we meet in life, who we associate with,who we choose not to keep in our lives makes so much difference to who we are and who we can be and who we are going to be. Every once in a while you run into a person whose sheer strength of character makes you want to be like that, and then there are people whose passion for life invigorates you and some whose resilience you marvel at! Then very rarely if ever you come across a person who is a combination of character, strength, zest for life , achievments and high personal behaviour. That is when the person becomes a source of undying inspiration and motivation for growth. From my own experience I can say that such people infuse so much life force in you, unknowingly most of the time, that you can only wish that you keep brushing with them off and on if nothing else. Their inner beauty shines through. And I feel for most human beings that is the quest, to find 'that one person'.
