Complete realisation - Complete surrender, with the required action

Sometimes I wonder which comes first - complete realisation or complete surrender to the One Above. But what one should not forget is that both of them go together with corrective action, whatever be the motivation.

What differentiates the successful and the moderate ones and the-also-rans is also is the fact that they do not do things differently or different things for that matter but just do the things they are asked/paid to do. In this competitive world where the numbers-of-have-nots is increasingly on the rise and one would try to logically put it down to bad luck.

And here the realisation is required that 95 per cent of things and situations in one's life are those which are well within their control and the consequences of which have to be owned up by the concerned person. It is said that only five per cent of life life in general is the uncertain. So here too, if someone thinks that Dame Luck is to be blamed, such persons are proved wrong.

Realisation, surrender and other such feelings do not carry any relevance if the corrective measures are not initiated. Re-invention here becomes a word of paramount importance. And once the person in question gets more number of chances than others, re-invention should be more of an instant nature than with a time allowance.

Here I am reminded of what doctors say about smoking ? There is no fixing a timeframe to stopping the habit. ITS NOW OR NEVER, they say. And in relation with one's life, the best time to do things that they should do is DO IT NOW. And in this case comes the realisation that the re-invention too should be carried out in a manner that best shows results to people.

Results here are also mean re-gaining the lost credibility. And so alongwith a complete surrender what is required are to do those things that will get one back the credibility. The word credibility too, appears to be similar to what they say about character. WHEN CHARACTER IS LOST, EVERYTHING IS LOST, they told us during childhood.

Someone down the line as a person grows in age, the word CHARACTER merges with and into the word CREDIBILITY. And when everyday actions are in tune with these objectives, they comes in progress. And hope on God for things to improve should too, not be BLIND, BUT followed up with the required, corrective action.
