Life is a lot about being wise enough to take the effective and better steps in life which would bring smile to us and others. It depends on how efficiently we take the necessary and the important steps in life. Also, take the learning from life that it has to offer us. We should not ignore the slightest and the smallest of the learnings and take calculated steps in life in order to step ahead.
It is important that one takes the essential steps which are required to be taken in life in order to be successful in life so that we can create our own success story. When we come to talk about the courageous steps that one needs to take up in life, we usually think of the best that we can do and take some strong steps that would make us successful and make us outshine others' lives. I was married into a family where females were allowed to take care of the household chores and were not allowed to step out of the homes to earn their living and spend their time according to their wish. The social life was very restricted.
I always wanted to work for the female causes like in the field of education, health, art and craft work, etc. The females in poor backgrounds are kept aloof of the mainstream. Their education and literacy rate is quite low. Also, they are married at early age and are not allowed to voice themselves. I had a vision and aim in my head to work for these poor women and educate them so that they can uplift the society. Nothing comes easy in life. We need to make special efforts to make things happen.
One fine day, I requested my husband to listen me and help in some way that could be possible so that I can fight the cause that I always wanted. He initially denied seeing up his family background and other issues that were coming up in his mind. He asked me to lay a plan of what I wanted to and how I would approach for the same thing. A ray of hope appeared within me. I laid out a plan and started working upon it. I met some of the women from nearby villages, had a conversation with them. I then met the Sarpanch on some the issues that were required to be taken up in the village to improve the status of the women.
In a week’s time, I was ready with plan and presented it before my husband. He was quite convinced and appreciated my efforts that I had put into the work. He then with the permission of his parents approved me to work on the plan. From then I started implementing the plan and went ahead with the best of possibilities that I could do from my side. Now, the village’s conditions have been improved to a large extent with the span of 3 years. The village people stand out educated. Also, the living standards in the village have been improved to a lot extent.
Though it was seeming difficult to start and convince my family regarding the step I wanted to take, but a little step taken helped me to work in my vision and also for the society. It is important to stand up for one's own rights and duties in life and step ahead with a positive attitude in life which would bring smiles to us and others.
