Have you ever wondered what differentiates a legend from a common man? What is that they have and we don't have? What makes them a hero?
If you go through the biographies of people like Dhirubhai Ambani, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs, or study the life of leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, A.P.J Abdul Kalam, or Mother Teresa, you will find one thing in common: they believed in something and dedicated their entire life to that belief.
You can call that something a principle, a vision, an ideal, a philosophy — or simply a funda.
What transformed Agnes, an Albanian origin catholic geography teacher, into Mother Teresa? What made Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, an Indian origin Barrister in South Africa, the Father of the Nation?
The answer is a eureka moment — the moment where they realized what they are born for and decided to dedicate their whole life to it.
One fine day Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was thrown off a train platform in South Africa. He got up realizing what his purpose would be. Rest is a story we all know. He only lived on two fundas: Non-violence and Non-cooperation. He gave his life and energy to it — making India free of British rule.
No physical strength, intellectual power, educational qualification, or material wealth is needed to become a legend or a hero. The ability to know and work with your strengths and your dedication towards it makes all the difference.
Remember: your life ka funda is what defines you. It is what the world relates to you as. It decides the purpose of your life.
Discover your life ka funda and when you do, just go for it, no matter what people say. Overcome all the hurdles stopping you from being successful.
Always remember: Passion without Priority is Powerless.
This life is your only opportunity to make it humongous in any aspect. Discover the true potential in you and create a revolution. Legends are those who are intellectual in knowing what they want from life and emotionally involved in getting what they want.
As you travel on your timeline, let this present look like someone else's past a few years from now. Rediscover yourself once again — find what you are made of and made for.
Wishing you Peace and Abundance — Ashay Shah
