Be not afraid of greatness

Just saw The Twelfth Night. The beauty of Shakespeare is that he says truths of life in a simple way.
This dialogue stayed with me as I came home. How often we are about to achieve something and we sabotage our own success. No you say?  Well you will be surprised how often we stop ourselves from taking a big leap by thinking oh, what about job stability, I have responsibilities and so on?

So should we not consider that? yes but what is most important? Believe in yourself. Unless we believe in ourselves, how will others believe us? Be not afraid of greatness. I sound like a motivational guru? May be but the truth his many of housewives or home makers as we are called now have so much talent which goes unrecognized and unappreciated. If we just had the courage to take that first step. Even if you start small.

When my children were small, I decided to be at home but I kept writing articles on a free lance basis. In fact due to these articles, a major hindi newspaper from UP gave me a column to write. But then I was offered editorship of a leading magazine and I turned it down thinking my boys are young and I won't be able to devote time to them. The fact was only five days in a month would have been long when the deadline approached. But I missed my bus.

As Shakespeare says elsewhere" some are born great, on some greatness is bestowed" Whatever be the case be not afraid of success. Embrace it

So be it!!!!
