Hope when you take that jump, you donāt fear the fall.
Hope when the water rises, you build a wall.
Hope when the crowd screams out, itās screaming your name.
Hope if everybody runs, you choose to stay.ā ā¤ļø
Some people inspire you by what they achieve.
But some people inspire you simply by the way they live.
Vikas Virji is one of those people for me.
I still remember one night⦠it was around 12 AM. Virji called me and said,
āVirji, kaha ho? Workout kar lete hai aaj.ā š
I was honestly surprised and said,
āVirji, subah se abhi tak aapka shoot hua hai. Please thoda rest kar lo.ā
And what he said next stayed with me:
āThakna koi problem nahi hai⦠ruk jaana problem hai.
Agar apne goal ke liye discipline rakhoge, toh motivation ki zarurat kam padti hai.ā
That night I understood something.
Success is not always about having more energy.
Sometimes it is about having more commitment.
When most people choose comfort, some people choose growth.
When everyone is running away from discomfort, some choose to stay.
And when the journey gets difficult, they donāt ask, āWhy me?ā
They ask, āWhatās next?ā
Virji, thank you for showing me that discipline is a lifestyle, commitment is a choice, and courage is continuing even when nobody is watching.
Iām genuinely grateful for the lessons, the conversations, the energy and the inspiration.
Thank you, Virji. ā¤ļø
Keep inspiring. Keep pushing. Keep choosing to stay.
And Virji, thank you for all those dinners, for the love youāve given me, and especially for those kachoris made by your own hands. ā¤ļø
Aaj bhi yaad hai jab aapne apne haathon se mujhe khilaya tha⦠aur woh hug. š¤
Gratitude always. šā¤ļø
