Motivation



She finished picking up clothes from the clothesline on the terrace and was climbing down the stairs when the phone rang.
She called out to her sons, to come out of the room and hand over her phone.

Out of the 2 naughty children the elder son came and gave her the phone.
It was her Mother. "Mamma you exactly know when shall I be free, tell me whats up which wedding are you people supposed to go to today?"
Mother : " Oh well, that's why I am your Mum! Today your father is not feeling well hence we will not go to any wedding. 
The doctor has advised him to go for a morning walk daily, but does he listen.??
By the way I called you up to remind you that you have also been advised by the doctor to start regular exercises and keep yourself fit, when was the last time you took out time from your schedule to workout for yourself?"

She : "Mamma you know I have been keeping crazily busy with the household chores,studies of these both and lot more.. but yes I'll start it today itself" and hung up the phone.
She kept thinking how will she take out time from her busy schedule, it had been 3 months since her friend and her family doctor had advised her to start an exercise regimen.. How When ..Will it be convenient...and so on.

She was used to making fresh snacks for her children before they left to play. 
Today she checked in the refrigerator, luckily there was enough kheer to be served to both her sons.
When they announced that their daily work was complete and they wanted something nice to eat before leaving for their play, they saw  bowls of kheer kept on the dining table and saw their mother hurriedly trying to bolt the kitchen and the bedroom door.

Both of them exclaimed : "Kheer, but why... we had it yesterday, why not some new snack, something interesting like you do it everyday! And where are you going?"

She smiled and told them - Kheer is something which you both like right? Both her sons nodded in affirmation. You remember during our last visit to the doctor aunty she told Mummy to start exercising regularly to become more fit? Again both of them nodded in affirmation.

So from today when you both go to play, Mamma shall take 5 rounds of the park.
Both of them sounded excited!
"Oh great - From when will you start running with us and win the running competition held for the mothers at the school on Sports day?"

She - "Very soon, now finish your kheer fast, we should not get late right!"

All 3 of them had big smiles on their faces when they left their home.

See..Motivation can come from anywhere, it all depends on how you prioritize things!
