My First Post
Can anyone imagine how long it can take someone to start writing a blog after such thought comes up? It took me 12 years to do it. I am a master procrastinator. Today, I turned the tables and started writing this blog. So, what really prodded me to do this? Something that I was not driven to do other than fantasizing in the brain? It is this post and the person who quoted this and named it as his favorite quote in good reads. It touched me very well too.
“You have the right to work, but for the work's sake only. You have no right to the fruits of work. Desire for the fruits of work must never be your motive in working. Never give way to laziness, either.
Perform every action with you heart fixed on the Supreme Lord. Renounce attachment to the fruits. Be even-tempered in success and failure: for it is this evenness of temper which is meant by yoga.
Work done with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done without such anxiety, in the calm of self-surrender. Seek refuge in the knowledge of Brahma. They who work selfishly for results are miserable.”

This is so powerful and has an important impact on me that made me move. With constant effort, discipline, tenacity and innovation, I know I can be a better person than I am and I have been today.
It is 10.30 PM here or as they say in Nederlands, het is half elf 'sAvonds. It's time to wrap this blog entry today. And so it started. Tot straks!
