#ShahiSunday 5: Inspiration

Lately, I find myself acting my age, like a typical person in their mid-forties. I'm becoming more conscious of gaining fat and trying to stay fit. To combat this, I’ve taken up walking and cycling. Initially it was a challenge?to wake up and go for?a walk, or to cycle at late hours, so to kill the monotony, I plugged in my Blue Boat earbuds and listened to songs that helped me pace my speed.?
Similarly in life we come across different challenges our way, be it something as simple as going for a walk or as daunting as going to work. Then there are situations where we need to push ourselves to start something new, recover from a broken relationship, or chase long-lost dreams. And these moments compel?us?all to look for our own sources of inspiration.?
For me, I find it in my family, my own needs, and interestingly from movies. Recently, I rewatched "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" . To add to my list, "Maidan," "Shabaash Mithu" (Not sure how many of you have got to watch it), "Mary Kom," and my all-time crush "Chak De! India."
Whenever I watch these movies, I feel charged up. Even though I’m not a teenager easily swayed by emotions, these stories inspire me when I’m feeling low. What I love about these movies are the dedication and perseverance shown by the characters. And also how we are all full of special strength which we can use to win our battles.
Not necessarily we all have happy endings, but what’s the harm in fighting our best fight? We may? fail, fall or face setbacks, what keeps us going is our inspiration to stand up again. But when we aren't able to, why not borrow it from others in the most interesting ways? There’s no harm in seeking one, maybe? from a book, a friend, a movie, or a song.
Pick yours and get moving.
So what's your favorite movie, song , share that?maybe it adds to my playlist.?
