"There have been such gems amongst us who have changed the course of the world because they could look at the world differently."
- Ram Shankar Nikumbh, Like Stars On Earth
The world offers a lot of reasons for us to smile and laugh. the world has a variety of angles to look at and if we get the right ones, there's no telling how much impact it can have in awakening our passions, desires and ultimate goals of happiness.
Like Stars On Earth has just been a beacon of truth to me in my journey through life. Like Stars On Earth is a story about Ishaan (Darsheel Safary), a young boy who is ridiculed and scorned because of his incompetence in coping up in school thus being labeled as a duffer and a loser. But Ram (Aamir Khan), the art teacher, was different. With his compassion and patience, he saw through Ishaan's failures and discovered that he was suffering from Dyslexia but at the same time withholding a magnificent gift -- painting. Through time, Ram helped Ishaan actualize his gift and guided him as he expressed his inner beauty.
It got me thinking about what I really want to do in life. Ram gave me the answer.
I want to help people, especially these little kids, who are hurting and harboring all these pain, shame and guilt inside. imagine the torment they have to live through. i want to be there for them and open up a new reality, a new definition of their value. i want to help them switch on their inner radiance as they show the world how special they really are and motivate others to feel the same. i want to inspire them to become an inspiration.
Maybe God was really right all along. I was never meant for the corporate world and that I really had to come back to the medical field -- for me to mend the hearts of these children.
and i know, somehow, that this is my passion because it makes me happy, genuinely.
"You be the sun, radiate light. You are the river, don't you know? Flow on, fly high. You'll find your purpose where you find your happiness."

when you inspire, you create an impact. subsequently, when you make an impact, you contribute change(s) to those you have inspired. :D it's so nice to hear that you want to touch these kids' lives and bring a little bit of sunshine in their gloomy little room.
ReplyDeletebut what's nicer is that you have now managed to find genuine happiness in the path you have chosen. just enjoy the detour. who knows, it might lead you to a much better destination. enjoy the trip. cheers! :D
@ Marc: i know.. remember that day when i asked you what's next? yes, i was also speaking for myself there. i was kinda thinking towards the future and i suddenly found myself lost among the possibilities.. i really do not know what exactly life has for me in the future but this blog, this post is definitely one of the things that i wanna do for life, like really long-term! :))
