Doing was a bad idea.
My appearance and some beginners luck made me arrogant for a span of time where I decided to do change rather than be one. I felt the whole world is in promoting Being Change, let’s do something different and I started promoting Doing Change. But I experienced a hell of a ride in the whole process of 3 months. I pushed all the work i.e. manual labor on my close friend thinking that she would gain experience in the field of sales and marketing.
But it all turned out to be sour and a knock on my head was given by life yesterday evening. It was a hard one which gave me immense setback and made me realize how wrong I was to change the course of nature’s principal and I am just a mere dust in this whole galaxy. I got the idea of promoting and following Doing Change, because I didn’t find any much difference around me in the society. And thought life is just so violent outside my country on a physical basis and inside my country on a mental basis.
Life was trying to make me aware that my track was wrong and I should immediately change it and get back to elevating myself and not others. That’s how nature is all about. We have no control on others whatsoever. If you ever happen to travel by flight, try looking down. You won’t be able to see any humans that clearly. If you ever get a chance, travel by the spacecraft and we would not even be visible and earth would just look like a throw ball. Calling myself dust is also a privilege I am bestowing on myself.
Trying to train someone outside was truly stressful, no doubt I could laze around and enjoy my space at home and just throw orders and abuses. It was fun but only for a few days. Fights and tears flowing in vain were just damaging my relation with the other. I was so boastful thinking that I am doing the right thing and this is just early setback from my friend because she was learning something new. I too in my learning process had behaved and revolted. So I was in an illusion of doing change and trying to be a teacher rather than a coach.
The difference between a teacher and a coach is the later is an achiever by experience and the former is an achiever only in theory. This learning will always stay in my life and I shall never repeat such instance ever again. If I have to do change, I have to firstly be change. Elevate myself completely from within and that will in turn reflect among each one around me and multiply the chances of outsiders to lead on the same path.
I hope and pray that you too learn something out of this and elevate yourself first; because that’s the only way we can help others by being an example of change and success. No one will listen to you whether it’s your mate, friend, family or enemy. They just want to do their own stuff because they feel following orders is being a robot. And doing your own stuff means freedom of action.
If some experienced person tells you to follow something, just do it. If you fail to achieve it, then you can apply your knowledge to it. The experienced person often tells you a tried and tested formula and not something in the air. Listen, the main tool for elevating oneself. Follow, a collaborative tool to listening. Both go hand in hand if you feel it rational about the knowledge shared with you, and then you should surely follow it blindly. This helps in partaking less energy in the efforts of strategizing and executing.
P.S. True leaders are one who follows the right bestowing respect to the speaker.
