Striving towards Excellence

-Karthik Gurumurthy

I was able to reconnect back with my good friend Lakshmi from school. She gave a honest feedback about putting my life experience in this weblog as much as possible. I appreciate her feedback and will do the same from here on as much as possible. Life is all about making the changes and moving on forward.

Commercials on TV tell you all the time that you can change yourself. In thirty seconds, the commercial actors can get smarter, thinner, prettier, richer. But this fantasy world only sets us for fall.

We hear about the possibilities for wonderful changes people can change in their lives and we want to duplicate those results. When we try and are not quickly rewarded, we actually wind up feeling worse than we did before we started.

The problem is, of course, that change is possible, but it does not come immediately. Nobody wants to sell us on a program for change that will take years because of course no one would buy it. But it does take years to accomplish the most important changes.

When you entered the first grade, you didn't expect to learn algebra, quantum mechanics, organic chemistry all in the first week. You begin an education that took more than a decade and provided you with incredible positive change.

Get rid of the microwave mentality and let the law of the process sink in you and let it do the transformation on a day-to-day basis.
