Prioritize your activities

 

     

   

I see a lot of people in their life prioritizing work. And I really think that it is one of the most crucial things in life to do if one wants to be successful. But I also believe that success is not always measured by the highs of the business or one’s earnings but from the balance that one makes in his/her life. A balance of work, family and society. A person should give equal importance and priority to all the three aspects mentioned above. The perfect balance between work, family and society is the textbook definition of being successful.

A person who is outgoing, lives happily with family, and enjoys his/her work is successful. I don’t believe someone earning $10,000 a month by working 12 hours on computer is successful. He is a slave of his own wrong perception and interpretation of this world. One must prioritize activities along with work in order to be successful. You’ve got to give equal importance to your family, friends, society as you give to your work. You can’t always have this attitude of getting something in return of efforts. Sometimes you must make efforts for the unknown. Sometimes you must make efforts for your friends and family in return for nothing. Sometimes you must make efforts for society in return for love.

Everything that we do in this world is a part of our life and it should be treated that way. Work should not be made the more vital part than any other aspect. It should be as crucial and as trivial as any other part of life.

Playing with your kids, sharing moments with your partner every day, talking to your parents, helping the weaker, doing little things for society, going out with your friends, celebrating small achievements, walking, going for a run, cycling, eating, cooking, reading, travelling, going to movies, swimming, playing a sport, visiting relatives, sitting idle and doing nothing are some of the activities that we consider secondary. But it must be your priority to include any activity or activities you like in your schedule and give them equal importance as your work. This attitude also increases your involvement in that activity, and you will get maximum benefits out of it.

One should not give up certain activities in order to finish an office work on time as they are equally important. Allocate time for the things that give you bliss. Happiness is what keeps you motivated in the worst of situations. Doing work will definitely fill your belly but doing the activities you like will fuel your soul.

Love and power to you

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
