Hour by hour, day by day, year by year, life is passing by. Be aware of it. Raise your life. Make a difference in your own life as well as in the world. Do what you love. Take care of health. Spend more time with family. Become a little more humble. Help a lot more. Crib a little less. Laugh a little more. In the past you made plans for the future. The future is here. Do it now.
Talk less. Speak only when demanded. Cut down your words. Cut it by half again. We don’t learn by talking. We do so by listening. Also, don’t listen to all. Pick your speaker. Those who love to talk probably have no value to add. Spend time with those who have wisdom but not very keen to talk. You have to extract it. It is there you will find diamonds.
Discipline can make you the best in the world. You don’t need to take giant strides. Just a step more every day will take you far. One day of vigorous exercise won’t help in any way. Regular small workouts will bring remarkable results. Skipping meals won’t make much difference. Adding a fruit everyday can make huge difference. Taking a two week holiday is not sufficient. Spending an hour every day with family can give lifelong happiness. Do little but do it long.
Today was a dull day. Tomorrow will be exciting. Yes, that’s the way life is. Flip flop. Ups and downs. Unpredictable. The more we try to straighten it out the more it bends. Future is unknown and that makes it interesting. Hope is what connect today’s with tomorrow. Stay positive. Stay hopeful Do your best and leave the results to Almighty. Those who do get the best results.
When you take the turn in your life you will be apprehensive about a lot of things. Was it the right decision? Was it too early? Will you be able to sustain? Will you still be able to make an impact? All these questions are normal. People behind you will get ahead on the previous road. You may start doubting your own conviction. Well, it may not be easy. To live for yourself is the most difficult thing. You need to decide; you want to listen to the world or to your own heart.
We are overbooked. We find less time and more things to do. We are told that time is money. We are told that time is scarce. So, we must use it well. We must not waste it. So, we keep ourselves busy all the time. Even if we get some free time we use it to finish things which were left undone before. Free time gives us a feeling of wasting it. We have become obsessed with time. We are suffering from time disease. It’s a mind disease.
It doesn’t go away. No matter how hard I am trying, the negativity seems to be deeply rooted in my mind. I have inherited this from the society and people around me. For years I am taught to look at everything with a doubt, blame others and find reasons to complain. I want to give it up now but it is difficult to stop what I have been doing all my life. I am trying.
It is difficult to avoid conflict of interest. It is therefore we restrict our growth as an individual. We generally look for instant gratification and short term rewards. This impairs our ability to do the right things more often. If we don’t take sides, including our own, the world becomes our alley. We are not bad decision makers. It’s just that conflict of interest makes our decisions weak.
I have been proven wrong far too many times. Most of my predictions fell flat on my face. For those rare times when one of my views went right, I made sure that the world knows about it. Rest of the times, I kept silence. But things are changing. I am becoming wise. I am making fewer predictions. I am making fewer claims too. Recognising my failure in predicting the future is in fact helping me live in the present.
If you want to be successful, do one thing. If you want to have fun, experiment different things. If you want recognition, be a leader. If you want happiness, follow your heart. If you want to influence, you can talk. If you want to learn, be a listener. Nothing is right or wrong. It’s a matter of choice. Everything has a cost. Everything has a reward. Pick what you want. You have a choice.
