Life is like crossing a Road

                               Don't Let Your Child Cross a Street Alone


Life is like crossing a road. Your focus must always be to reach the other side but by carefully avoiding an accident. So, what happens when you cross a road. You look left, you look right and when everything is clear, you make your move.

You must tackle the obstacles in the same way in your life as well. There can be a phase of life when the crossing of the road (reaching your goal) looks impossible due to huge amount of traffic (problems/obstacles in life). Imagine yourself in such situation. What are the possibilities if the traffic is heavy and crossing looks impossible?

You might take another route. That’s one way for sure, but it might take a very long time. Apart from that, you might attempt to cross the road with heavy traffic, but that’s a suicide, isn’t it? So, the best alternative is to wait for the traffic to get clear. You can’t control the traffic, but you can carefully observe it. Our problems in life are like the traffic. Sometimes you do not have control over your issues, you can’t see a way forward. Therefore, you must wait for the right time to come.

Sometimes waiting for the right time proves failure. Because people don’t pay attention to finding the right time. As I told you that you must carefully observe the road and wait for the traffic to clear. Similarly, you must carefully observe your problems and wait for the right time to come. When you feel that the road is clear, then move ahead.

What is Independence?

Image
                                        Independence is letting your kids chose their career path. Independence is letting your daughter chose her better half. Independence is letting your wife make as many friends she wants. Independence is letting your spouse work on any project or career he/she wants. Independence is not pressurizing your spouse for having a baby. Independence is not interfering in your family member’s life. Independence is letting your kids live a life they want.  Every Indian is enjoying this day as we got freedom from the Britishers in 1947 on this very day. I am always excited on this day every year as my life is seriously connected with the word, independence. I have lived my life on my terms and had the ultimate freedom in making study and career choices. In choosing my better half and in choosing the way I want to live. My father is religious, but I am not. My mother is graduate from a top university, but I am college drop out. I have been lucky in my life

Read books

Image
                                   This is an activity that most millennial's lack these days. I am afraid that reading books will soon be a thing of the past. Books are your real friends. When you need inspiration, you can grab a book and read it. You learn greatly through books. I remember that I was never a good reader. I would read occasionally but in 2015 I got my hand on a book ‘Long walk to freedom’ by Nelson Mandela. The reason I bought that book was that I admired him greatly and always wanted to meet him in person. But this is the story of most of the people, we want to meet our heroes but it’s not always easy. Famous people hardly have time to meet others and some of my heroes are from 18 th and 19 th century. So, meeting them was out of question. Long walk to freedom is an autobiography of Nelson Mandela. It contains more than 700 pages and he has put his heart in that book. While reading famous personality’s autobiography, you feel that they are directly talking to

Get rid of excuses

Image
                                    Majority of people who fail in life are very good at making excuses. In your life you must be good in most of the things you do. But be a bad liar and dishonest in making excuses. People who find excuses to do certain things are enemies of their own. This also weakens the character of a person. People who often make excuses are very unreliable and you can’t depend on them for any important task or responsibility. The most common excuse that people make is "I don’t have time". You’ve got to take out time for everything. If you plan your time smartly, then you will be surprised to see that you have an ample amount of time in your life for everything. There can be situations in your life when you are intentionally avoiding a certain thing. Instead of finding a foolish excuse, just say no. Don’t try to use excuses to escape out of a situation. Be truthful and honest to yourself. You must be very straight forward in your approach. A lot
