People often tell me, "You're
lucky; your life has been a smooth sail. Just relax—everything will fall into
place on its own." These are the most common phrases I hear about my life.
However, I believe that life
requires effort. Even something as simple as keeping a mirror clean takes
intention. We all need to make efforts, not just to shine the mirrors in our
homes, but also to manage the essential tasks in life. Often, others overlook
the small steps we intentionally take to meet life's demands, interpreting it
all as a smooth sail.
My life hasn't been filled with
grand adventures, but my sincere routines, disciplined lifestyle, and
consistent habits have all contributed to the life I lead today. With the grace
of God, the support of my family, and the encouragement of my well-wishers,
I've managed everything—from daily household tasks to pursuing a spot in the
India Book of Records—through small, deliberate steps in the right direction.
Maintenance matters a lot. Take,
for example, using Colin to make mirrors sparkle. The cute smile or the
confidence someone gains when looking at themselves comes from the little
effort I put in to clean and wipe the mirror every day after brushing my teeth.
Yet, people often fail to notice that effort. They simply assume everything
happens on its own. Comments like, "You're lucky; your mirror's quality is
quite high and never loses its shine for a long time," overlook the
maintenance behind the scenes.
Maintaining relationships also
requires effort. Small actions like greeting people on their birthdays and
wedding anniversaries, sending messages through WhatsApp, responding to
invitations, checking in on someone unwell, visiting them if possible, or
extending help when needed—all these gestures matter. Avoiding gossip and not
disclosing personal information or shared secrets to others are also crucial. While
not everyone is part of my close-knit circle, not everyone is a hater or enemy
either.
Whether it's maintaining things,
relationships, or my professional life, my conscious and intentional efforts to
improve have brought me to where I am today. It's not a smooth sail; I'm
fortunate to be in a position to make these efforts, and with sincerity, things
have fallen into place to some extent. I pray to be blessed with the ability to
continue striving to succeed and reach an admirable place in life. Even if
others may not notice or recognize my efforts, I know that nothing comes easily
without them. Everything requires attention and dedication.
