You should go and Love yourself :-*

You should go and Love yourself (be a little wild this time)...

There is an old saying “The journey is more important than the destination”. You get to learn a lot more and it helps you understand the importance of each step. No matter how important, but it does sound boring to today’s generation. Let me make it a little interesting and naughty.

How many times have you got intimate with your own thoughts? The craving you have for that special feeling can make you go crazy. Hold your horses everyone. You really don’t need to take things literally every single time.

Ever wondered why sportsmen warm up before they play a match? They practice and toil hard day and night to put up their best performance. Ask any champion what set him apart and he won’t stop talking about all those injuries, sleepless nights and hard work that made him rise above the rest. Ask a dancer about his preparations and you come across the most excruciating pain endured throughout the practice sessions (personally, stretching kills me every single time; I won’t recommend my dance classes for the faint-hearted). 

“I don’t fear a man who has practiced 10000 moves 1 time each. But I fear the man who has practiced 1 move 10,000 times.” – Bruce Lee

Be it Muhammad Ali practicing punches under water, Karoly Takacs taking aim with his wrong arm and winning Olympic Gold (he lost his right shooting hand because of a bomb explosion), Bruce Lee doing thumb push-ups or Roger Federer putting in more than 10000 hours of practice; all champions have this in common. Every time they wore their armour, they were intimate with their thoughts. To put it in simpler words, they were one with themselves. Their mind body and soul worked as one to make them the greatest in the history.

This is what “foreplay” does to you. Foreplay is the subtle build-up necessary to prepare you for the main event. It is your sweat, determination and hard work which makes you fight and claim what is yours. This can make you into a daring beast, an unbeatable machine capable of not only challenging the status quo and proving all the myths wrong but also being the champion everyone looks up to.

What you think you become. So, play with yourself a little. Love yourself more. Get intimate with yourself to the extent you gain control over every single muscle and thought (even literally if required ;-)). Train your mind and it will command your body to achieve feats you have never imagined.

Taking inspiration from the poem “कुछ काम किया, कुछ इश्क़ किया” by Piyush Mishra

“वह काम भला क्या काम हुआ, जिसमें रातों की नींद हराम न हो

वह जुनून भला क्या जुनून हुआ, जिसमें शिद्दत का जाम न हो

वह काम भला क्या काम हुआ, जिसका मुकाम मिलना आसान हो

वह इश्क़ भला क्या इश्क़ हुआ, जिसमें प्यार, बिना छेड़कानी के हो

वह काम भला क्या काम हुआ, जिसमें वक्त में खोने का मौका न हो

और वह चाह भला क्या चाह हुई, जिसमे हसरतों का बोझ न हो|“
