Dedication #AtoZChallenge @AprilA2Z

My theme for this year’s Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is Cultivating Happiness. Today, D is for Dedication.

D

55 Fiction

Wiping the sweat from his brow with the back of his hand, he was running.

His eyes were open but he wasn’t seeing anything actually.

Everything was passing by him like a blur.

People were shouting but he was oblivious to all.

Impervious to the tired bones and lingering pain, he crossed the victory line.

A Word to the Wise

Dedication

Dedicate yourself to some goal or a cause. No matter what you do in life, dedicate yourself to it. If you are dedicated in life you will always be fulfilled and happy.

  1. Loved the D word. I chose the same word shilpa for today. Agree – with these 5 D’s to succeed.
    Desire, Dream,Dedicate, Determination and Discipline πŸ™‚

  2. Whatever one does has to be with dedication… Once you know that you have put in as much as you could, the results would not really have a big impact on you. You would know you tried even if you lose and that feeling is greater than success itself i think. Where are you getting these lovely quotes? Awesome!

    1. Well said, Jayashree. Like they say, The speed of your success is limited only by your dedication and what you’re willing to sacrifice. Quotes… oh from the world wide web πŸ˜€

    1. You must and that would be another feather in you cap! Go for it, Roshan, you CAN do it! Cheers πŸ™‚

  3. Now I know what Usain Bolt feel as he races past the finish line!

    The quote you added at the end of the post is too true! For us students, putting in half the efforts is equivalent to skipping chapters that are ‘not important’ according to us πŸ˜›

    Have a great day!

    1. Haha. I like how you related this to your student life, Mithila. Hope you dont skip any chapters and dont put in 1/2 efforts. I know, you wont, you are good girl πŸ™‚

  4. Ok this post is more like this challenge now. I literally am pushing myself, wiping all that sweat in Delhi heat, trying to reach the victory line. And no I dont want half the result…. :))

    1. Oh yes, dedication is needed in all spheres of life whether work, sports, studies, relationships…
      Thanks for being here, Duncan πŸ™‚

  5. I have never run a marathon. The thought itself is horrendous. But I should. Once in life! πŸ™‚
    As you said, I got to dedicate myself in something- maybe dance? πŸ™‚

    1. No, it is not. Give it a try first!
      And you must definitely go for dance if that’s what interests you! πŸ™‚

  6. oh another visualization with your words, so beautifully written and loved your style, a 55er followed by a quote and your words of wisdom. Lovely shilpa, i am going to enjoy the rest. maybe you can compile it into a book.

    1. Thank you so much, Asha! You are a sweetheart and so generous.
      Book.. now that’s an idea πŸ™‚ Thank you Asha β™₯
