Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 54
Title: It's
Never Too Late To Choose A New Path!
Most
children that have overbearing parents have ended up studying courses they
really have no passion for simply because that is what their dominant parent
wanted them to study and all because of the prestige and respect attached to
those courses. There are many Lawyers today who acquired the wig to please
their parents but are more at home discussing Estates and their Management;
there are Medical Doctors who acquired the stethoscope to please their parents
but are more at home with singing and dancing; there are many Architects who
want nothing to do with architecture but more with app development and programming
e.t.c. This goes to substantiate the saying that "No one is his or her
profession" Many are stuck in a profession they have no calling for but
found themselves there by reason of convenience, some remain there because they
do not want to cause any family upheaval, some die slowly and in silence
because they felt that there was nothing more to do than to wait out the time
that will surely come when the eternal call would come; but today I want to
tell you that it's never too late to choose a new path or infact to start all
over if we have to. One of the greatest men that lived on this planet earth was
Mahatma Gandhi whose original name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. History has
it that even though he was a Lawyer of great repute who wore his three - piece
- suit, gown and wig faithfully for 21 years but his mind was not really in the
practice of Law, but in the practice of redemption of his people through
non-violent resistance. And so determined to make a mark better than he had
made as a successful Lawyer, he quit the practice of Law, exchanged his
three-piece-suit for the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, which he wore from
that day forward. He traded a ‘successful’ life for one of simplicity. And then Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi went
on to become one of the biggest, most influential non-violent
revolutionaries in the history of the world. His work led
India to independence through the use of non-violent civil disobedience, and
inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the planet. Gandhi’s
birthday, October 2, is now considered the International Day of Non Violence. Imagine
if he decided not to “throw away” his hard earned legal career… would he have
become such a celebrity as he was in his days and still being remembered and
celebrated decades after his passing on? Are you stuck in a job you have no
love for but doing it to please those around you? Are you in a profession you
are finding hard to practice and always ready to lay down the tools out of the
slightest provocation? Check well, your calling is not there, and my good
friend, stop punishing yourself, this life is only lived once, there is no
second opportunity, make yourself the best you can be, do that which makes you
happy because if you do not have self fulfillment in that which you are doing
now, it is only self punishment. Break out of the rut today and begin to make
your mark.
