Where is your masterpiece?

Where is your masterpiece?

Many of us would like to create something called a masterpiece at least once in our lifetime.

May be Writing a book like R K Narayan.

Paint a picture like M F Husain

Write poetry like Gulzar.

Cook a delicious dish like Chef Sanjeev Kapoor.

If you are a sportsman play a memorable inning or if you are a Football player hit a memorable goal which people remember for a long.

If you are an artist give a memorable performance.

If you are a musician compose a tune that mesmerizes all ages of people.

Something you are good at it, do it in your best possible way, create a masterpiece of yours.

As I considered this thought of creating a masterpiece; I am sure all creators of masterpieces didn’t get lucky enough and have everything that they created to become a classic piece.

Similarly, all great composers and artists created many tunes or performance that we don’t even remember.

All of them, might have had different training, different inspirations, different backgrounds, different abilities, and different skills but they had one thing in common - How do I create a masterpiece?

Don’t worry to create a lot of crap because someday you’ll get it right!

Keep trying, keep making mistakes, keep learning and keep improvising.

Just don’t sit tight waiting for the perfect idea or the perfect moment to create your masterpiece.

There would be a time R K Narayan wrote a lot of pages that went straight in the trash, M F Husain might have a lot of paintings that he couldn’t sell and Gulzar wrote many songs that never published and Sanjeev Kapoor might have cooked the dishes which might have seen the dust bin, directly.

The world is always waiting for your masterpiece and it is quite understandable that you won’t get it right every time.

So don’t wait, start today, take action, take a plunge, dive in and create some genuine crap that will take you closer to your masterpiece one day.
