The Jantar Mantar Protests: Patience, Purpose, Productivity
The Jantar Mantar Protests: Patience, Purpose, Productivity
1. Change takes time. Change is a process that takes time.
The demonstrators at Jantar Mantar may stay there for days, weeks or even months, raising loud voices for a cause that they believe in. Change does not come in a flash. It is the same with our individual aims. Successful outcomes, whether in pursuit of a competitive exam, career or health, takes time. Productivity is showing up and showing up regularly, even when you don't see the results.
2. When a strong purpose lasts longer than a short-term motivation.
The motivation doesn't last for a whole day, so people don't go on protesting all day long. They persist since they have a definite purpose. Motivation dies down in life but purpose does not. If you know the reason for working toward something it is easier to have discipline during bad days.
3. Every little thing adds up to something greater.
A movement is formed of many voices. Similarly, a single exercise won't make your body, a single study won't get you a job, and a single blog post will not attract an audience. However, all the little things add up. Success is generally a series of hundred-fold attempts, not a single stroke of genius.
Closing Thought
The rich narrative of Jantar Mantar is a reminder of the strength of persistence. It's important to be patient, purposeful, and persistent when striving to achieve progress, whether for a cause or a personal dream.
“Great things happen when people don't stop showing up.”
