बस से उतरकर जेब में हाथ डाला। मैं चौंक पड़ा। जेब कट चुकी थी। जेब में था भी क्या? कुल 400 रुपए और एक खत, जो मैंने माँ को लिखा था कि—मेरी नौकरी छूट गई है; अभी पैसे नहीं भेज पाऊँगा…। तीन दिनों से वह पोस्टकार्ड जेब में पड़ा था। पोस्ट करने को मन ही नहीं कर ...रहा था। 400 रुपए जा चुके थे। यूँ 400 रुपए कोई बड़ी रकम नहीं थी, लेकिन जिसकी नौकरी छूट चुकी हो, उसके लिए 400 रुपए 4000 से कम नहीं होते। कुछ दिन गुजरे। माँ का खत मिला। पढ़ने से पूर्व मैं सहम गया। जरूर पैसे भेजने को लिखा होगा।…लेकिन, खत पढ़कर मैं हैरान रह गया। माँ ने लिखा था—“बेटा, तेरा 1000 रुपए का भेजा हुआ मनीआर्डर मिल गया है। तू कितना अच्छा है रे!…पैसे भेजने में कभी लापरवाही नहीं बरतता।” मैं इसी उधेड़-बुन में लग गया कि आखिर माँ को मनीआर्डर किसने भेजा होगा? कुछ दिन बाद, एक और पत्र मिला। चंद लाइनें थीं—आड़ी-तिरछी। बड़ी मुश्किल से खत पढ़ पाया। लिखा था—“भाई, 400 रुपए तुम्हारे और 600 रुपए अपनी ओर से मिलाकर मैंने तुम्हारी माँ को मनीआर्डर भेज दिया है। फिकर न करना।… माँ तो सबकी एक-जैसी होती है न। वह क्यों भूखी रहे?… तुम्हारा— जेबकतरा भाई

Finding Answers Within...
You Have All the Answers within You.
When you realize that you always have the answers within yourself, you can stop searching outside of yourself.
Many of us seek the answers to life’s questions by looking outside of ourselves and trying to glean advice from the people around us. But as each of us is unique, with our own personal histories, our own sense of right and wrong, and our own way of experiencing the world that defines our realities, looking to others for our answers is only partially helpful. The answers to our personal questions can be most often found by looking within. When you realize that you always have access to the part of you that always knows what you need and is meant to act as your inner compass, you can stop searching outside of yourself. If you can learn to hear, trust, and embrace the wisdom that lives within you, you will be able to confidently navigate your life.
Trusting your inner wisdom may be awkward at first, particularly if you grew up around people who taught you to look to others for answers. We each have exclusive access to our inner knowing. All we have to do is remember how to listen. Remember to be patient as you relearn how to hear, receive, and follow your own guidance. If you are unsure about whether following your inner wisdom will prove reliable, you may want to think of a time when you did trust your own knowing and everything worked out. Recall how the answers came to you, how they felt in your body as you considered them, and what happened when you acted upon this guidance. Now, recall a time when you didn’t trust yourself and the results didn’t work out as you had hoped. Trusting your own guidance can help you avoid going against what you instinctively know is right for you.
When you second guess yourself and go against what you know to be your truth, you can easily go off course because you are no longer following your inner compass. By looking inside yourself for the answers to your life’s questions, you are consulting your best guide. Only you can know the how’s and why’s of your life. The answers that you seek can be found when you start answering your own questions.

Just One More Telephone Pole...
Having lost his right leg to cancer, Terry Fox embarked on a cross-Canada run called the ‘Marathon of Hope’ in 1980 to raise money for cancer research. His shuffle and hop running style took him about 24miles per day, close to a complete 26-mile marathon every single day with an artificial leg! He managed to run for 143days and covered 3,339 miles from his starting point in St.John’s New Foundland to Thunder Bay Ontario, where he was forced to abandon his run when doctors discovered cancer in his lungs. He died a few months later, but his inspiring example has left a legacy: Annual Terry Fox runs are held in Canada and around the world that so far have raised $340 Million for cancer research.
When asked how he kept himself going as exhaustion set in and he has thousands of miles ahead of him. He answered – “I just keep running to the next telephone pole”.
Moral: Though our goals look too far to achieve, it’s nothing but a summation of small milestones. We have to just achieve the small milestones one by one, and keep going until we reach to the ultimate goal. There is a Japanese proverb - “Fall down seven times, get up eight”.
