Have Faith in People

                             Faith can be seen. Faith is defined as believing in God… | by Christopher Toh | The Alternativists archive | Medium

‘Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase.’ – Martin Luther King Jr.

One of the most difficult things in life is to place your faith in people and their promises. Most people don’t trust others easily. If you want to be successful in life, then you’ve got to have faith in people. You must trust others when you give them responsibility or your word.

How billionaires are running their endless number of businesses? How celebrities are managing their finances through their managers? How sports persons can believe their coaches and managers? The answer is that they have faith in people. They trust people around them and that is the reason they are able to grow to such heights.

You can’t reach your ultimate goals if you don’t have conviction in people. You can’t just reach the pinnacle all alone. You need people around you to support you. You need a great spouse who trusts you and you trust them back. You need a friend whom you can trust for anything. You need mentors in your life whose word you can follow blindly. You need a lot of people on whom you can place your faith. You need someone around you in your life who can show you the mirror and tell you the truth about you.

If you don’t trust people, you can never be happy in life. You may earn money, but you can’t be successful. You will never enjoy your life if you don’t have faith in people. Placing faith in people allows you to take more risks in life. You may get deceived by one or two, but majority of people will remain truthful to you.

People who don’t have faith in others are generally the victims of betrayal. But everyone is not the same and you must understand that you can’t progress in life until you have faith in people.

What is Independence?

                                        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
