Hope is powerful. It works like magic. You must never lose hope. When nothing seem to work, stick on to hope. It can get you through. When the road ahead seems closed, give it one more try; the try of hope with an extra effort. You will find a turn just before the end. It’s the ultimate medicine. It’s the ultimate prayer. It’s the ultimate effort.
If you are looking for success, there are several ways to get it. However, if you are looking for satisfaction along with success, there is only one way. Pursue your passion and do it your way. When you engage in what excites you, it may so happen that it doesn’t yield financial rewards but you still will feel satisfied. So, the choice is yours. You want success or you want satisfaction with a shot a success too.
Are you feeling disturbed? Don’t worry about it. It shall pass. Our mind is fickle and that’s a good thing. No matter how hard you try your thoughts won’t stay. With time they will change. May be in the next moment. May be tomorrow. Don’t try too hard. Let it happen on its own. Time is never still. Good or bad, it will give way to the other. The only thing in your control is to accept it and be calm in either case.
What’s your ‘one thing’ in life? Agreed, you are an expert in many things but it won’t help. It will burn you down. It will give you stress. You will grow but may be you will still be short of where you can reach. Instead, make a single big goal in life. Put your entire energy into it. It may be a personal goal or something to do with your professional vision. It may be risky. Still, that’s the best chance you have.
Getting motivated from external source is good but the question is how long? At some point self motivation must take over. All successful people are self motivated. Also, the journey doesn’t stop being successful. Once you reach a level, it’s your responsibility to motivate others too till they become self motivated. There is a lot to do and time is running by. Wake up on your own, pull up your socks and make a difference.
There will be a day which will be the last. Finish your job before that. Make sure you are on the most important agenda of your life now. Who knows how much time is left. Do what is close to your heart. Spend time with whom you feel connected. Cut the clutter out of life. Today is a gift. Tomorrow will be a bonus, if at all it comes.
Your dream is calling you. Make sure when you wake up tomorrow, you leave your baggage behind. Make a vow tonight that you will start afresh tomorrow. Your current commitments will pull you back. Stay strong. What doesn’t push you towards your vision should be left behind. It will require a lot of courage. It’s a mind game. Your worry about the unseen future is going to be your playground tomorrow. Are you ready to play the game you are dying for?
The more you become obsessed with happiness, the more it will elude you. Rather, find meaning in life and happiness will follow you. When you are engrossed in your passion you don’t look for being happy. You already are. When you work on a bigger purpose in life, the journey itself becomes rewarding. Happiness is not the end result. It walks with you when you walk towards your goal.
Life gives us enough time and opportunity. However, many of us waste a lot of it by consuming ourselves in penny issues, criticism, and complains. Only if we can excuse ourselves from all this, we can save remarkable amount of time and energy. Channelizing that into more productive things and life goals, we can make our lives more fulfilling and become inspirational for others. It will then fully justify our existence on earth.
Keep your focus on a few big things. Everyday you will find an opportunity. Don’t take them all. It’s a trap and will derail you from your big goal. It takes time to develop an idea and convert the opportunity into success. If you shift focus every now and then, none of the opportunities will convert into gold. The key is to give a lot of time to a few things rather than a little time to a lot of things.
