Take care of yourself. That’s the only responsibility you have. If all of us could do this, the world would be a better place. When you do this you inspire others in a subtle way to take control of their own lives. That’s a big thing. That’s a big contribution. Watch yourself at every step. How you live. How you conduct your affairs. That’s enough to make a meaningful positive impact on the world.
It is too risky. I know money is not the only thing in the world but it is difficult to ignore the power and lust of it. My interest is in something else but there may not be money in it. That’s why it is too risky to pursue my passion. On one side I want to live a comfortable life and on the other side I want to follow my passion. I am just not having the courage to choose the other side. I know my soul is begging to pursue my dream but it has to wait for some more time. I want to live but this thought kills me every day. I hope I will make the switch one day.
The opportunity is huge. Man is limited only by his own vision. Think big. Bigger than what has been achieved so far. When you embark on a massive goal, the roads become wide on its own. The efforts get the wings. The universe conspires to make you successful. Everything seems to come together to make your vision a reality. It happens with those who dream. Are you dreaming big enough?
Sometimes, a particular image of ours is created in the eyes of the world. We then try to maintain that image throughout our lives. This given image becomes our identity. We try to protect this image and identity because it seems this is all we have in the outer world. Even if we struggle to continue like this, we hold on to this image. It stops us from living a fulfilling life. Break this image. Break this identity. Be a different you. Be yourself.
Life is all about ups and downs. They will keep coming. Just make sure when the going is not favorable, you keep your spirits high. It will help you make comebacks faster. Similarly, when things are going good, do factor in a few challenges down the road and never be complacent. Success is worthless without the pain in the journey. Give due respect to both and you can cross the bridge of life happily.
Tomorrow is a mirror which shows the result for the actions we take today. Tomorrow is nothing but what we choose today. Our routine, no matter how small and insignificant they look today, shape our future. Time we waste today will in effect be lost tomorrow. Make sure you do the right things today because they will all show up tomorrow. Tomorrow is fixed. Today depends on you.
It comes for free but it can work wonders. It is called criticism. On your way to success, criticism can act like a performance enhancer. Embrace it and you can go far. A pause to reflect upon criticism can give you lasting wisdom. The way you handle it will define your character. Consider criticism as a ladder which becomes longer as you climb it step by step. So, the next time you face criticism, take it in the right spirit and make the most of it.
Harp on the possibilities. Underplay failures. Cry on your achievements. Laugh out on stupidity. Believe in the power of positivity. Beat the hell out of negativity. Assume that the world is good. Ignore the fuss around. Inspire with your presence. Cut short the words. Love unconditionally. Kill the hate. Change the world. Quit the status quo.
How will you price an hour of your time? I am sure it’s worth a lot. The real question is where do you spend the most of it. With others or with self and people close to you? I guess it’s a simple math. Time is money and we should invest the most in ourselves. Many of us spend far too much time on deriving a monetary benefit. Rather, consider spending an extra hour with family. An extra weekend dedicated to parents. An extra day to relax. Spend time on self. You deserve a wealthy treatment.
He wasn’t a good student of math, nor was he best in english or science. He was worse in sports. He was an introvert; always a last bencher. People wrote him off. 20 years passed. Things have changed. People flock around him. They seek his wisdom. He runs his successful enterprise. He is always ready to help. They call him a man of integrity. Never judge someone too early. Leave it to time.
