Last week I was at my doctor's clinic for the regular checkup. We exchanged pleasantries as i walked into her cabin. As we started talking there was a call on her cell, which she picked up. She spoke at length and patiently, advising, sympathising while examining me.  I thought must be a call from her known. As she put down the phone, she informed she was talking to a patient about her teenage daughter about some issue. I was amused. This instantly took me back to the incident almost two years ago. My son then 2.5 years old had high fever and the medicine could not bring his fever down. we called the pediatrician so many times and she didn't pick up. Desperate and at our wits end at 6:30 am we located her house and went knocking on her door. She opened and gave us a look like what the hell. This doctor of mine always entertained messages and calls. She patiently listens to you and provides solution. 

I could not but compare the two doctors and then i realised that, its is not about being a doctor but it has more to do with the kind of human being you are. When you are happy with what you are,where you are and what you are doing it shows on your face and your attitude. Both doctors are women, mothers and of course working for money too, But the one understands the depth of her profession, while the other is just too professional. 

Before being anyone else, a doctor, a teacher, a businessman, an engineer or a vegetable seller you need to be at peace with yourself. The work you are doing should give you much more than the money and occupation or even name and fame. Your experience should make you a better human being as you progress further in life.  I agree that not everyone has same circumstances and same upbringing, but the fact also is that when you are happy and satisfied with yourself it reflects on your face, it reflects on your life and in this process you make many more lives worth living.

You would notice there are some people who look so calm and inviting and there are others who you are uncomfortable to approach. Being at peace with yourself doesn’t mean that you aren’t ambitious or you are stagnant or you have stopped progressing since you are happy in your space. In opposition to that that when the happiness and contentment comes from within, you not only illuminate other people’s life but you progress effortlessly.

So be at peace with yourself first, it’s the first step towards the success, yours as well as others. J
