Equilibrium is an illusion in life

I am observing a pattern in my life. I can’t stay put. I don’t like equilibrium. I can not stay idle. I can not live without a problem for long! Every few months, I start something new. I get fully into it, enjoy it, and then once it is settling down, look out for some other challenge to work on.

I have been doing this from childhood. I remember I took on model rocketry. Then I explored aeromodelling. Then electronics. Then hypnotism. Then wrote a book. Setup the Young Scientists’ Club in the town. Then focused on studies for a year. In college, got into computers. Did some path breaking work in the computer society. Then started India’s first ezine, which later transformed into Magnet – our company. In business too, it’s been like that. I try on new things, then go back to basics, then am ready for new challenges.

And guess what? I love it! I think this cycle keeps me creative. It keeps me active. I like change, and I like it better when I cause the change! The feeling of inventing something is ecstatic. Being at the source always gives power.

My invitation to you is to look at your life and see what you can achieve by being creative. Pick up something new today. Do three things you have never done before!

  1. Hi!
    Long time back i was here from Robin Sharma’s site…reading something on Trust and remember your thoughts : โ€œWhat am I doing in this relationship to inspire trust?โ€.
    it’s been many months and it’s true…

    An inventor,wow!!
    This post of yours, reminds me of what Leo Buscaglia said in one of his lectures that he used to be questioned by his Dad every night before dinner- “so,what did you learn today?”…

    Have a Beautiful Life ๐Ÿ™‚
