EF

Mark Zuckerberg got it when his girlfriend ditched him!

Gandhiji on a train to Durban!

Archimedes – when he jumped into a bathtub!

When blood rushes to the brain and we lose consciousness of where we are- and the only awareness which remains is the feeling that overwhelms the whole body. This feeling elevates our sense of being to a new level.

This Euphoric Feeling……hereafter known as EF………becomes a turning point in our life!

What can trigger the EF?

There are many ways- the conventional ones being reading inspirational books, although I’m not sure how much self help books help, hearing good teachers explaining their philosophy…….etc. these I feel are good ways to kick start the process.

What can sustain this feeling---- a life changing experience –which teaches us to look at life in a new manner, or an unexpected achievement which inspires us to continue on that track- only if this is really close to our heart will it make a real difference.

Achievers have an awakening which drives them to excel. Their idea propels them forward. The trick is in recognizing the right moment and using the momentum as fuel to fire the passion

Talking about myself – my run in Delhi was one of these-when I took it as a turning point and am going to take life head on now……it has shown me what it takes to gather courage and fly!

Talking about my son, he ran his first 10k race on last Sunday- 28th November- it was a rather grueling run- but he completed it- quite an accomplishment if I say so myself. He could learn a lot from this race-but whether he has or not only time will tell!

High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.

  1. Insightful indeed! One need to experience that 'high' by trying.

  2. For many people, a life changing experience actually starts when they hit a deep low in their life, wallow around there for some time, and then slowly begin to rise, eventually rising higher than before.
