I was walking alone towards the cafe when I noticed
something was following me. MY SHADOW. My shadow is dark and glorified. It is
like a well trained pet. I can control it. It always follows my commands .It
becomes what I want it to be. I can make it taller or shorter, fatter or
slimmer , bigger or smaller or anything using my imagination. Shadow is
actually my triumph. It is my success. It is my reward.
But a
shadow needs power for its existence and
that power is LIGHT. If there is no
light there will be no shadow. LIGHT is the power house for the creation of a shadow.
Light gives life to a shadow. Light can turn a tiny shadow into a giant one.
Focus ,strength and intensity of light
matters for the formation , definition and even the very existence of a shadow. Here, Light is
knowledge. Light is your conscious. It is motivation. It is a driving
force which keeps you determine.
When
walking along the pavement ,observing my shadow , I realized that there will be
no shadow without me no matter how much light is present. Light is dependent on
an opaque object for the creation of a shadow.
My shadow is because of me . What if there was light but not me ? Light alone
can't create shadows, there must be "someone" for the light to
collide with, there must be someone to absorb that light. That
"someone" is WILL POWER. " someone" is self awareness ,that
someone is YOU.
I am
always inspired by nature, it teaches us. This time my shadow taught me how to
get what I desire . At the end of the walk I came to the conclusion that to
achieve success (shadow) you need two things
will power(you) and motivation
(light). Without these ingredients you can't taste victory. As famously quoted "where there is a
Will , there is a way" . Motivation is like taking a bath , you have to
take it daily otherwise you will be rusty. so , expose yourself to the light
and let yourself cast a shadow to mark your existence.
