“...if
I quit, I was afraid it would become my habit......” this was a powerful
statement and we all started discussing on this.
“So
true! Whenever I embark on something new, if I am not comfortable with it then I
leave it without second thought. Now looking back, I think I let ‘quitting’ become
my nature. I was never eager enough to try harder. One small hitch and I quit! I
guess I was ‘wrong’ all those times”.
“Can
you elaborate on the issues or situations where you quit easily”.
“As
you all know I am over-weight and have health issues because of that. Every Doctor
suggests that I lose weight. Whenever I meet some Doctor, read some article or
in similar way get inspired to lose weight, I start doing exercise vigorously
the very next day. But within a week or so, I discontinue or in short – quit”.
“Oh
that! Don’t worry; count me in, in that field. Same problem here”
Everyone
was participating and the discussion was moving at such fast pace that I skipped
on names to bother only about the contents. I knew looking at dialogues I would
be able to guess as to who had said what, but I guess I was wrong there too!
“Me
too! I’ve been on and off so many times with this that my family has made a
joke of it now”
“Oh
relax! It’s story of everybody!”
“Not
everybody. Just people like us who quit, who are not strong enough to stick to
their ‘agenda’, people who are more wedded to their laziness than their health”
“You
are saying we love ill-health to health and pain and suffering to stamina”
“Exactly!
Isn’t it obvious that we all are so undisciplined in this field? Why can’t we ‘win’
over our own weakness? Our enemy is right within us and we are doing nothing to
defeat him”
Every
argument looked valid and true and yet our weakness was so strong that inspite
of ‘knowing’ we were incapable of ‘utilising’ or ‘applying’ this ‘knowing’.
Yes,
we could justify our actions with giving reasons but today as we decided to be
honest with ourselves, we did all realize and agree that ‘we were lazy beyond
doubt and shame. Nothing moved us to drop it and embrace healthy life-style! And
that’s the only reasons we ‘started’.
“So
that means, I need to keep going in every situation and never give up on my
desire and dreams. Right? I just need to keep going and I’ll be winner sooner
or later. Is that correct?”
