All Bollywood movies have Larger than Life heroes.
In the movie Main Hoon Na, the hero is a not an ordinary guy. He is smart, handsome, talented. He can fight with 10 people at the same time and still come out laughing and girls always love him. He is an ideal family man and a patriotic army officer also.
And its strange that people buy this unreal image as a reality in a movie because people aspire to become a hero in their lives as well.
Don’t you want to as well?
We aspire to come up to the expectations of everyone around us and excel on all areas of our life.
I see many people who are successful in Business but a total failure in their relationships. I see many others who have great relationships but their health is not okay.
Very rarely do I come across anybody who has successful excelled in all areas of his life i.e. Health, Wealth, Relations, Hobbies and Spirituality.
The quesiton therefore is:
How can we become larger than life in our lives?
Look for balance in life not in days but in months. Often people feel that an ideal day should be where I can do my office work, come back home spend amazing time with family, go 2 hours to the gym and play my guitar.
In Reality in today’s demanding work environment the above scenario is indeed very difficult.
Instead of searching balance in days, search for balance in a week. Plan that ideal Sunday with your family and friends. Or go for a spiritual retreat once every 3 months. Take those music classes every evening after you come from office.
Balance in life can come if you can give priorities to do everything over a long period of time.
I would say success blinds you with greed. In the quest to become better and achieve more and more, people neglect everything.
