Last year was unusual in the sense that I was immersed in an absolute kind of spiritual bliss. It came about after I achieved the inner and outer aspirations I knew I was born to attain. I thought it would take me 80 years but at 41 I reached the coveted prize. Suddenly I had no more burning desire to do anything. Yet I could tell no one. There I was suspended in bliss.
Life as it was went on. But I knew either I had to become a lazy bone and live a retired life or I had to find my next mountain to climb, my new vision. The last one was summited with so much pain and sacrifice that I didn’t want to continue thus I chose to retire.
The last six months thus I lead life of a retiree although to the world I was unchanged : management consultant’s profession is so mysterious that others accept that when he’s working he’s playing & vice versa.
So I embarked on a journey of self-fulfilment : this being the best way to describe my experience.
1. I deactivated Facebook
2. I started exercising (running, boxing and weights) 1 hour daily
3. I started swimming daily 1 hour
4. I planned to shed 10kg in 8 months
5. I finished all the pending decoration in my new house
6. I started meditation daily 1 hour
7. I started reading books instead of depending on google daily
8. I taught my son to swim in 20 or so go’s
9. I wrote blogs on this site occasionally
10. I fulfilled my curiosity by literally burning cash
11. I groomed a successor for my avatar as trainer
12. I fulfilled silent wishes of my mother & wife
13. I mastered the art of washing my car in 15 min daily as my desire now is not to own a range rover evoque , but to drive a clean car
14. I perfected my toiletry routine for every day freshness
15. I convinced myself to wear well ironed clothes as I am not interested at all in fashion
16. I started power naps of 1 hrs between 2 meetings
17. I rented out my flat I had kept for my office as I knew I wouldn’t start a company any soon and even if I did this place wouldn’t work
18. I didn’t press parties to pay me
19. I designed and implemented maintenance and cleaning sops at my house
20. I stopped bitching about my siblings
Then one month back or after 6 months in this state of bliss, a negative encounter triggered the disclosure of my next summit.
Then I saw myself atop a tall mountain gazing at a gigantic mountain in front. It is so terrifying. Yet it is not that which is important. The most important fact is that this vision mountain revealed itself to me. It is my destiny.
What is the vision I will share in the next blog.
Still the point isn’t that also.
In the last year I experienced the fruits of a fully successful life & career. The new lifestyle I engineered is the epitome of luxury for me and my concern is only that I will climbnew lifestyle I engineered is the epitome of luxury for me and my concern is only that I will climb the next mountain only once I know my bliss will not be disturbed in any ways.
