I wanna inspire

I meet a lot of people who want to do something or the other but for some reason they havent. There are a lot of reasons, some dont have time, some dont find it meaningful and some say tey arent inspired yet.

Those who dont have time are unable to get time coz they arent inspired enough to start it and those who do not find it meaningful, let me ask them a question. If you feel hungry, we eat food, we feel thirsty we drink water. But at times even if we are not hungry we eat and drink. Is there a meaning behind it?. Some times you need to feed your soul, by doing something which brings you the closest to yourself.

Writing is one such thing, it brings me very close to myself. I realize who I am and what I am capable of. There are people who are able to draw energy from within themselves to do things which seem impossible to those who are not in touch with themselves. It is necessary that we all learn it and again the solution is to get in touch with yourself.

I have always believed in work, may be I havent followed it entirely I am working towards it, godwilling it will happen soon. But what is the reason for one person to keep doing something?
See, a person has very limited time on this earth, and we have a lot of dreams and aspirations to fulfill in this short while. Your work is the key to immortality. Your work will keep you alive after you are gone. What have you lived, if after you have gone, no one remembers a few words you have said!!
Here is a quote from one such immortal man

Kuch kaam karo, Kuch kaam karo
Jag mein rah kar kuch naam karo

Yeh janma hua kis arth aho
Samjho jismein yeh vyartha na ho
Kuch to upyukta karo tan ko
Nar ho naa nirash karo man ko

Sambhlo ki suyog naa jaye chala
Kab vyartha hua sadupaay bhala
Samjho jag ko na nira sapna
Path aap prashast karo apna
Akhileshwar hai avlamban ko
Nar ho naa nirash karo man ko

Jab prapta tumhein sab tatwa yahan
Phir ja sakta hai satwa kahan
Tum swatwa sudha ras paan karo
Uthke amaratva vidhaan karo
Davroop raho bhav kaanan ko
Nar ho na nirash karo man ko

Nij gaurav ka nit gyan rahe
Hum bhi kuch hain ye dhyaan rahe
Sab jaye abhi par maan rahe
Marnottar gunjit gaan rahe
Kuch ho na tajo nij saadhan ko
Nar ho na nirash karo man ko

Harivansh rai bacchan
