"IT'S OKAY NOT TO HAVE A PLAN" - Mithila Palkar

 IT'S OKAY NOT TO HAVE A PLAN

I have watched a video which is hosted by Mithila Palkar an Indian actress and it is titled as "IT'S OKAY NOT TO HAVE A PLAN". She tells about the journey towards her success. She began the video by a 'Cup song' and later on she explains about her passion and the obstacles she faced during her journey. We all have a passion. When we try to pursue it, things will eventually fall into place. Today, we are forced to make very important decisions very early in our life. We might not be aware about what to do. But 'It's okay'. Most of our parents just want us to grow up, graduate and have a 'decent' job. Her parents were of the same kind too. But she was determined and stuck on her dream. She had to face many who just made some negative comments on her dream and on her. She takes herself as an example. We will have to face at least three rejections before we achieve something big. Failure makes it easy to give up,  but it gives us much more experiences. We get a power of resilience. Nothing is going to come easy. We can pursue those only if we stick onto that.

Sometimes we take a person as our role model. We want to do like them and be like them. But still remember that their and our paths to success might be different. There may be people to compare. Let them do that. Never mind. She ends up the session by telling a quote of Einstein that " If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it is going to spend its whole life believing that it is a stupid"

Just find out the possibilities around and within you. There are many around us to support oppose and even not to care. We cannot make everyone happy. So just make yourself happy. Be brave and have faith in yourself. Everything indeed happens for a reason.
