The Big Four
Life Positive|April 2017

By pinpointing four vital aspects, Megha Bajaj arrived at success of the body, mind and soul.

 

Megha Bajaj
The Big Four

I first wrote to Suma Varughese, editor of Life Positive, almost a decade ago. It was a piece that just flowed with emotions that needed to be expressed, by a girl who had just passed out from college. I never imagined that she would respond or ask me to join first as an assistant editor, and then as a columnist. I never imagined that our life journey would cement together as fellow seekers, fellow writers, or fellow Life Positive lovers for so many years. And yet it did. When Suma asked me to write this piece, as the testimony of someone who has tasted success at the personal and professional life, it made me very emotional. This endorsement from my first, and one of my favourite editors, made me feel that there must have been some grace that carried me through these last 10 years of my life – and it is with humility and a sense of honour that I share my journey.

The first thing I did very early was to ask myself what success meant to me. I didn’t want a borrowed definition. I came to the conclusion that success predominantly had four key aspects for me – the first, to have a really healthy and fit body as no amount of success would be of any value to one who ails and pales. The second – to have some very beautiful relationships. I am not at a stage in my life where I can love all, but I could hope to arrive at a space where I could love a few unconditionally and be loved by them. The third – to have a very positive relationship with money – where this resource doesn’t become a restriction for me. And to earn it doing what I love, of that I was very clear. The last – to stay spiritually aligned to the laws of life, for the greatest succour comes from there.
