ZEALOUS

ZEALOUS

If you do not get zealous with your dreams, vision, goals, and aspirations, you are unlikely to achieve or make them a reality. Zeal is the tireless devotion and dedication of a person to a particular cause or interest, it is one of the most important factors towards achieving one's dreams, and aspirations, it is the fuel that keeps the engine rolling.

Lailah Gifty Akita once said "Zeal without knowledge is very fatal. Knowledge without zeal is fatal. But knowledge with zeal is a force of being". Zeal is very important to every human being, but zeal alone cannot bring one to His desired destination. We must to our zeal add the required knowledge to manoeuvre the hurdles on our journey.

Our life may be on the downward slope into the drain, it may be running in the exact opposite direction to our dreams and visions, but we have the privilege and power to turn things around in our favour, if we do not quit, if we do not give up. Our story can be rewritten in the twinkle of an eye if we do not relent in our effort to make things right.

In the words of Amit Kalantri who said, "The smell of the sweat is not sweet, but the fruit of the sweat is very sweet". It may be difficult work to keep going when it is tough, it may not be easy to hold on to the those desires and dreams, but in the end when we would have overcome the obstacles, and surmounted all the pressure to come out victorious, we would enjoy the taste of victory, and appreciate the reward of our ZEALOUS actions.
