If you get tired, take a pause and take some rest. It will act as refuelling. Don’t feel guilty of it. A stop also helps in making sure you are on the right track. It often happens that while we are on the run we lose track of where we want to end up. Sometimes, we choose a path because of peer pressure and it makes sense to review it a little later. Don’t go so far that coming back becomes difficult. As such a periodical pause and reflection will help you gain speed simply by being on the right track.
This is simple math. You get reward as per the time you spend. If you spend your time at work, you will become an expert. If you spend time on your kids, you will become worthy of their love. If you spend time in practicing your game, you will win the gold. If you spend time fighting for the mass, you will become a leader. If you spend time in criticism, you will end up being despised by the world. If you spend time in excuses, you will become a failure in everything. It’s you who makes a choice. Choose right.
Continue to do your job quietly. Yes, you may not get noticed but that doesn’t reduces the impact you make. Yes, you will find people around you who are more visible and their work is more appreciated. They may deserve also but it doesn’t mean you are less important or what you do is not deserving. With time you will have your fair reward too. Some are in the limelight today, some will be a decade later. Any which ways, let this not stop you from doing the good work. Your soul is watching and that’s enough.
No doubt, money is an important part of life but it remains an individuals choice of how one perceives about money. When somebody advocates that money is not everything, we generally opine that it could be because – either the person has already acquired enough wealth and is looking for self actualisation or the person is somewhat not financially successful and it’s a case of sour grapes. Well, it depends on a case to case basis and we should not be judgemental. It’s better to set our own definition. The problem is; the world around us impairs our wisdom to make a good judgement in our own case.
It was a long fight. It was also a one way fight. I lost it all the way. I tried hard to overpower you. You didn’t resist and so I lost. I thought I am protecting my self respect. In the end I realised it was all ego. I lost the fight. I threw the weapon of arguments to incite a response. You didn’t react and I lost. I attacked from every corner. You didn’t even make an effort to defend and so I lost. It was only when I surrendered I realised, the door to your place opened and I felt like winning.
We need to focus on just two things. The physical health and maturity of the mind. Once you take care of these, everything else will fall in line. The irony is; most people ignore health till it demands immediate attention and many of us do not use the power of our mind to the maximum. It may not seem worthwhile in the short term to give time and attention to health and mind but those who do, get compounding benefits. Good health enhances lifespan and makes everyday living a pleasure while a mature mind brings peace and wisdom. Focus on these, from today.
A smooth life is no life at all. Suspense makes it interesting and worthwhile. Crisis and challenges will keep showing up. They will seem as if you don’t deserve them. Yet, you will have to go past them each time you face them. There is no other way. The good thing is that a difficult situation never arises without giving you the powers to overcome it. Mostly, you will notice your resilience shooting up when you see a challenge coming your way. The ups and downs actually makes a good ride. Enjoy it.
They are few but they are strong. They hold the weight of the world on their shoulders. They are not doing it for any personal gain. They have volunteered for it. For the world to run, someone needed to give support. They came forward. Nobody knows their names. They won’t get any medals. They won’t be remembered ever. Still, they are doing their job. They don’t consider it to be a misfortune. In fact, they treat this opportunity as their reward. The world is least interested to know and so are they – least interested to tell.
I am becoming unaware of my surroundings. I am unable to find any difference between day and night. I am getting immune to noise around me. I am losing connect with appreciation and criticism is becoming irrelevant. I am finding no interest in doing anything with a purpose. A day went by well seems to be a life lived well. Every day is a new day but without any hope or fear or expectations. Everyday is a blessing of my creator and there is only one for whom I live. My Soul.
Some people do more and don’t talk and there are some who do nothing worthwhile but create a hype. It’s a habit. When you lack depth it won’t last long. It will be exposed sooner or later. Similarly, when your work is good it speaks for itself and you will be rewarded in due course. Go a step further. Do the good and forget the reward. There is no bigger achievement and satisfaction if your soul acknowledges what you do everyday.
