Margaret Thatcher - A thought - A Power !

Today was the day of  Iron Lady - Margaret Thatcher !
Movie was wonderful.. so was marvelous her persona .. so powerful.. such crystal clear thinking ,her staunch beliefs... and her inner strength to stand and endure for results of her decisions ..

Wow.. Truly an Iron Lady..
I am not here trying to make any statements regarding her political career or decisions made.. I was
just amazed and truly inspired by the enigma of this woman, who in such a conservative society not only stood , but firmly rooted and fought all the allegations, on what a WOMAN can be, how powerful and strengthened she can be, inspite of being a common man grocer's daughter.

Looking at pressures and situations around her, it was easy to succumb to the pressures, but she stood against all the odds, and stood firmly and beheld her belief .

It teaches us something. Stand by what you believe. Not always will you triumph.. But surely, you will be happy that you atleast were true to self and thats the biggest triumph !

Some of her provoking thoughts really needed by us,(especially women - who are trying to give 100% on each front of life, trying to be perfect - be perfect wife, perfect mother, perfect professional , perfect home maker all at the same time. If you try to achieve perfect balance on all fronts (believe me, if you are able.. then you are GOD), you will find yourself stretched, exhausted ..beating head against the mountain.. and yet .. some front or the other will blame you for not doing job properly.

So, decide your own priority. The things that you are really passionate about . And give 100% there.
Its not to say that leave other responsibilities, you will still need to carry them out, but do not exhaust your energies on being perfect..If sometimes, you dont cook or cook only one dish its fine..
Or if you dont get Best apprisal its fine.. dont run. Just do what you believe in. And take your stand.
You will be opposed, baffled.. but unless you take a clear stand.. you will reach no where.

Just like Margaret Thatcher said :
- If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.

So wake up ! Make up your minds. be strong. Not being able to decide which saree to choose , or which earring to wear is just a sign how unstable our thoughts are..

- Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides.

May be choosing saree is an insignificant and non impacting decision for world. But for you, making that decision right in moment and sticking to it , is a big triumph remember. If you inculcate this habit, I am sure one day you will be able to take big decisions with ease and will be able to stand the consequences of it with all its strength. And believe me you wont regret.

-Watch your thought, it becomes word. Watch your word and it becomes action.

Watch your action and it becomes habit. Watch your habits and it becomes you.

WHAT YOU THINK, YOU BECOME. 

Every small decision , however insignificant will slowly build and shape you to who you are.

So beware, watch your thoughts. 

I conclude, with her thought below : which sums what I am trying to say :

-Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.
