Spare a day for Nothing!



“Doing nothing sometimes is the best thing to do.” – Darshan Singh

Doing nothing is one of the easiest things to do in life. You don’t need any skill, you don’t need a specialty in that, you just need to sit idle and do nothing. Doing nothing is becoming a huge problem these days among the youngsters. People don’t want to put much efforts and expect great results. This doesn’t happen on this planet. You’ve got to fight for your things and assert your will to claim success.

But sometimes lame activities like sitting idle does wonders. These days people are running behind success like a clock. They don’t want to stop and wait for the things to happen. They are impatient and always expecting for good results. Sometimes this continuous pressure on mind can result in dangerous situations. People can go into depression and their anxiety levels can shoot up if they are not able to control their pursuit.

Even in the formula 1 racing, the race drivers stop for a quick break to refuel their racing cars and to get rid of the burnt tires. Now if you apply this to your life then you will notice that you are racing in your life everyday and your energy is being drained constantly. By energy I not only means the physical energy but the mental drainage of energy that needs to be revitalized every now and then.

Also, the burnt tires are like your burnt mental scars that you get from failures, rejections and disappointments. You’ve got to replace them by confidence, courage and desire to achieve more. Our mind and body are not meant to run continuously without refreshing breaks. Therefore, spending idle time on certain days will work miracles for your soul. It will rejuvenate your inner self and will give you more reasons and courage to keep pursuing your dreams.

Taking a day off for nothing is one of the most crucial things to do which people often miss in life. Take a day off at least once a month and go to a peaceful place alone. This day should be full of loneliness and no one should be allowed to enter your mental space on this day. If you can go for a stay alone for night, its even better. On this day you must only devote your energy in analyzing yourself and your life.

You must not make the mistake of doing your pending works on this day. Don’t take a book with you and keep your mobile switched off. You just want to cut yourself from this world and your family. This time should only be given to you and only you. Just lay down in a park and think nothing. Just stroll in the gardens or woods and make no plans. Just don’t think about your work, only think about this life and its beautiful gifts. Think about the nature, think about the beautiful things on this earth that you enjoy.

Just keep your mind as empty as possible. Don’t flood it with thoughts. Just eat, sleep, do yoga and relax. This exercise will give you so much that you can’t imagine.

Love and power to you

Darshan

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
