The 'Perk' That Lifted Me Sky High

There I was, walking on the road, enveloped by darkness. Darkness within, darkness without.  Tons of thoughts churning my mind.  Despondency, confusion, disappointment, wrenching my heart; having an intense dialogue with God and praying to be shown the way.  Praying for some sort of a sign or message to confirm that I was on the right path and what I was going through will pass and all will be well.

At that moment, everything in my life seemed to be lagging to the extent that the laptop I was working on had also suddenly decided to act up and not work the way I wanted it to.  Sometimes technology has this uncanny knack of crashing when you need it the most. So though it was late evening, off I was to deliver the laptop to my software engineer who on many occasions with his friendly and timely support had pulled me out of sticky situations like these.

I entered the building and informed the watchman where I wanted to go and as I was about to enter the elevator two little girls (sisters) carrying small back packs hurriedly raced me to the elevator and triumphantly got in first - chirpy and cheerful. Although their happy aura seemed to barely have an effect on me, their bubbling energy was infectious enough to draw my attention towards them. I quickly stole a glance at them and stood back determined to hold on to my sullenness as if it was a sin to let it go.

As the elevator began it’s ascent with the three of us huddled in to reach our respective floors, I could see our reflection in the mirror and suddenly noticed one of the girls turning to her sister and excitedly nodding her head as if asking for her approval to do something and immediately getting back a vehement nod saying yes.  

What followed was unbelievably overwhelming. I heard a tiny sweet voice calling out, “Aunty!” As I turned to her she smiled brightly and continued, “Here’s a chocolate for you, it’s my birthday today”. Words cannot describe the feeling in my heart at that moment. My face broke into a smile and with a lump in my throat, placing my hand on head  I blurted out, “ Thank you my dear,  a very happy birthday to you. May you live long.” Her eyes shone and the next instant I heard another tiny voice,” it’s my birthday too aunty”. That was her sister also wanting to be wished and blessed. I happily complied, wished and blessed her too. 

The elevator stopped and the doors swished open reminding me that I had reached my destination. I stepped out, turned and bid them goodbye as the doors closed. I looked down at the chocolate they had given me and the name on it left me numb and speechless. It was a ‘Perk’. For those two little ones it was an innocent act but for me it was a divine message and an answer to my prayer. The elevator had taken me to the 5th floor but the 'perk' given by these angels lifted me sky high!!!

This became the turning point in my life wherein  I decided, the mission of my life will be to reach out and 'perk' up the people who have lost faith and no more believe in themselves and  who have nobody to hold their hand and show them the way out. Can you imagine anything more fulfilling than a life where every moment, with whoever you connect for how much ever time, you become the instrument to bring a smile to their lips, cheer to their heart, peace to their mind and spirit to their soul?!!

Invest 50%, Reap 100%

Oh, another one of those!!! Does the above look and feel like just another sales gimmick?   I admit you are right, but partly. Sales yes…gimmick…definitely not! FYI, the product that I’m selling is MAGIC….the magic called you.  Now I know you will ask, you are selling me to me and then you expect me to buy me as well?? That’s absurd!!! If you are asking this question I urge you to relook at what I’m selling….It’s MAGIC!!! 

I don’t know about you, but in times when things didn’t go my way I always wished for an angel to come and swish a wand and set everything right and sometimes I wished I had some supernatural powers like the superheroes to overcome all the hurdles and villains of my life.

I was fond of stories and one story that particularly stirred my emotions was the story of The Musk Deer who was haunted by the fragrance that surrounded it, who desperately kept searching high and low for its source and then one fine day, during his frantic search, fell from the mountain and died, unfulfilled, without realizing the futility of his quest. Initially, I felt how stupid of him not to realize, but suddenly, in an ‘aha’ moment, it struck me - it was not stupidity …it was plain ignorance. And I was overcome with sadness and I thought wistfully, what if someone would have lead him to the simple truth….the truth that what he was so fervently searching outside lay right there, within himself….that would have made his living fulfilling because he had found what he was feverishly looking for. He would have died blissful knowing that his quest for happiness…the source of the sweet fragrance was and will always be with him and nothing in the world could take it away from him. What a feeling that would be!!! The knowing that nobody has the power to snatch your happiness because it is within you….my heart fills with euphoria just with the thought!!

The key to make this eternal quest for happiness easy and fruitful is to find a friend who without judgement can accept you and love you for who you are and lead you to the happiness that you want. Who does not only give empty advise but walks with you through the burning sands of desolation, understands your fear and the pain  of burning feet, holds your hand when you stumble and  is in a fair and square 50% partnership with you to take you to the final destination…the oasis of empowerment and happiness.

This is a transaction where you invest only  50% but reap 100%. Because, I’m going to invest the other 50%. 50 plus 50 equals hundred and that is the universal law no math genius can refute. 

I invite you to be the musk deer and the doe who finds the fragrance and lives to enjoy it to the fullest. I invite you to hold my hand, walk with me and discover ‘The Magic of Being You’.
