Are you working for money or is there a passion involved? Money is important but loving your work is more important. The best way is to find a way to make money by doing what you enjoy. A major part of life is spent working. You better enjoy this part or it will create stress which will impact other areas of your life. If circumstances are not allowing you today to make a choice, keep your eyes and mind open. Very soon you will get an opportunity.
The world is becoming material. Give and take is becoming the norm. Most of our actions are influenced by the objective to achieve more. Getting ahead is the ultimate goal. We increase our networking not because we like the other person but may be because it can be beneficial to us in some ways in the future. We read stuff not as a hobby or knowledge but to gain out of it. The urge to get more is coming in way of becoming the real self. Those who don’t participate in this race are labelled as losers, even though those who do, will never win.
Tomorrow. Yes, I will live tomorrow. Today I am busy. I don’t have time to smile today. I will take my daughter to shopping tomorrow. I will help my wife in the kitchen some other day. I will learn dancing when I will get time. Today is meant for people who mean nothing to me but it fills my coffer. Today, I must compete with unknown people so that I don’t lose in the race of life and success. Please leave me today. I promise I will be with you tomorrow.
The habit of reading is powerful. It greatly enhances the capability of mind. Those who read are definitely at an advantage over others. Focussed reading also helps in reducing stress as it takes the thought away from pressing issues. Reading also helps us connect with great souls who are no more today but left their thoughts with us through their mighty words. Anyone can make money but wisdom remains in the possession of those who read.
Feedback’s are important to improve. Yet, we only like positive feedback’s. When a negative feedback comes, most people become defensive and try to prove their innocence or give reasoning. This is the worst thing to do. Firstly, it is difficult to get constructive feedback as most people simply ignore a deficiency in a product or service. Secondly, if such feedback’s are not properly handled, people further become reluctant to give useful feedback. The best way is to hear patiently, express apology and apply your mind as to how improvement can be made.
There will always be a section of people who will never be happy with you, who will always doubt your actions and criticize you. You have two choices to handle such people. Either, you can spend your entire life answering them, proving them your worth and try to make them understand, or you can ignore them and move ahead with bigger things in life. You have to make this choice now so that you don’t regret it later. Respect those who believe in you and go past those who never will.
What’s your big idea? Start on it now. Dump the other ones. Life is too short to play safe. When you work on your biggest goal with maximum focus and effort, you would emerge victorious. Don’t divide your energy into too many things. That’s a sure way of achieving mediocrity. Have faith in your ability. Top it up with your sincerity. You just can’t play defensive. You must give life the best shot you have got.
Most people are in a rat race. Yet, they think they are different and it’s the other person who is going in circles. This way they convince themselves that they are better off. Every year they commit to organise the mess and start a new life, but eventually get deeper into the futile race. It goes on and on and one day they realise its too late to change. On the outside they try to maintain their charm but from the inside they wish they had more courage when it mattered. Don’t let it happen to yourself. The time to change is now. The time to take control is now.
I am not perfect and it gives me peace. I have realised that I don’t have enough time in life to master everything. My ignorance about a lot of things keep my life interesting. At times, a little bit of embarrassment of not knowing about something is actually fun. I do attempt to be the best in a few things but take other things easy. After all, I am not attempting to win all the Golds at Olympics. A couple of them will be worth my life.
The eternal truth; we have to go. The timing unknown. What are you waiting for to walk your dream. What fear can be bigger than the pain of not even making a beginning. What is stopping you to mend your relationships with those who matter to you before its too late. What ego can be more satisfying than the happiness of walking together again with people you have lost connect with. You have got time. Some were short of it. You better set your priorities right.
