What's dedication?


      My princess taught new chapter of dedication a few days back.
  
      We were managing the difficult phase of teething somehow. Baby was cranky and irritated with those molars. To add on, she got viral infection - cough cold and fever. As if this was not enough,even I got throat infection and was down with aches. I was too busy taking baby to visit a Dr and was just ignoring my pains.

       After a week or so, when my baby got bit better, I visited Dr. Dr just couldn't believe I could stretch it this further. He was sure I was having fever all these days and bad throat and bodyache. Now, this is what I think is called dedication. I was focussed on my baby and her health, to realise anything else that may distract me.
   
       I think we have all been thru those days when our parents force us to study and after 15 mins we are hungry or sleepy or something else. And if by chance we got sick, studying is just so impossible. Still we always thought we gave our best shot, atleast that's true for me.  But now I understood how wrong I was. That was not even close  to what dedication is.
    
        Best example of dedication is what every mom does,just being available all the time,everytime, for that little one. She just forgets herself, her needs completely.


Dreams and dedication are a powerful combination.
