Not so easy to catch…

We are attracted to something difficult to get. The grass is always greener on the other side.

While this is good for growth it biases us for things that may not be good for us but since it’s difficult, we want to get it. It’s more of an ego thing than a need.

So beware of something that is not so easy to catch, and still you want to catch it.

System is out to get me…

Sometimes it feels that the whole world is against us, all your chips are down and you feel dejected by the system.

But there cannot be any conspiracy against someone who doesn’t exist and for the system, we do not exist. We are so miniscule, that we are non-existent for the whole world.

Hence the “System is out to get me” attitude doesn’t help.

When things are not working, one productive strategy is to do what best you can do with it, do not dwell on why but act on what you have.

You will never know…

You will never know if you don’t try

You will never know if you don’t fail

You will never know if you don’t open the door

You will never know if you don’t fall down

You will never know if you don’t change

You will never know if you lived to the fullest

Unless you tried, unless you lived.

How can you be productive every day?

Are you productive every day? Even if you take the most successful person is he productive daily?

No, I don’t think so, he/she will be productive in short bursts of time.

So don’t worry if you are not productive every day, as long as you are productive in short bursts and aspiring daily to achieve something bigger, you are good!

Select your pain…

Anyone can be happy if one has a happy moment, it does not matter what kind of happiness it is.

But pain is something different, you can take some pain but cannot bear other kinds of pain. It boils down to what kind of pain you can bear and what you cannot.

In life, there will be pain, but you can choose your pain, pain which you can bear, which you can live with.

Tools…

We underestimate the tools we have at our disposal. Whereas experts know how to use them well.

It’s almost impossible to remove a screw with your bare hands, but easy with a screwdriver. If someone is succeeding at something you find difficult, it might be because they realized they needed a screwdriver.

Looking for the tool is the first step in finding it.
