Family…

Family is the most important thing in life.

Our success is useless if it’s not celebrated by family.

Our failure becomes a shared feeling and gets divided by family.

Our bad days become better because of family.

Our happy days are happy because of family.

Our boosting happens because of family.

Our life runs on track because of family.

So always give time and care for your family!

Day in day out…

If we wish to achieve a single thing and “day in day out” if we keep thinking about it, it’s not possible we won’t achieve it.

Our problem is that we can’t restrict ourselves to that single thing. What is it? Life keeps asking us for that wish but we don’t know what that wish is, as it keeps changing.

It’s all about finding that wish, it should be strong enough to keep thinking, dreaming, planning, and working on it day in day out…and I am sure it will be achieved. 

Anxious, change the mind channel…

We all wish to have a remote of our mind like a TV remote so we can easily change our mind channel.

Yes, there is a way, lets’ experiment with anxiety;

When you feel anxious next time.

Think about white bears (or your favorite movie character) for 30 seconds. Next, think of anything except white bears for 30 seconds. You will observe the white bears kept appearing in your thoughts. 

Then give yourself a simple task that requires full attention, like sorting a deck of cards by suit in 30 seconds. When finished, check whether you have any thoughts about white bears. The answer will probably be “no”.

This shows how changing your mind even for a short duration (30 seconds) can help change your thoughts. We can think of other healthy ways to “change the channel” in the future – like shooting hoops or baking cupcakes.

The right problem…

Are you solving the right problem? Or are you solving a problem that is easier or because others are solving it?

If we don’t know the problem how can we find the solution, most of the time that is what is crippling us.

Let’s find the right problem, give 90% of the time to finding the right problem and the solution will fall into place.

Judgements…

Judgments are part and parcel of our daily life. 

Whether a group of friends judging us for doing something odd. 

Whether we are being judged for an interview.

Whether the spouse is judging for performing daily chores. 

Or you are judging your children.

It feels powerful to judge others and feel diminished if we are being judged. But there is not a single person in this world who is spared and the more we grow the more judgments are targeted.

So don’t worry we are not alone in being judged.

Best way to handle it is to ignore the judgments passed at us and avoid judging others. 

Fear of Failure…

However much we grow in life, become knowledgeable, become wise, and become an expert but fear of failure is always present.

The rigor of fear tones down as we gain experience but it still keeps up. 

I think it’s a good thing because it keeps us on our toes, it says – don’t take it easy and be prepared for it. 

Preparation is the salve that soothes this fear and helps us cross it. At the same time, we need to understand that we can and should give our bests, rest leave it to God or Fate.

So, tackle the fear of failure with your best preparation! And let God take care of the rest.

Daily Thoughts…

Did you have any new thought today that was different from yesterday?

If thoughts are not changing for too many days in sequence then; 

We are not learning. 

We are not getting pressured.

We are in a dull humdrum where things are not moving in any direction.

We are not reaching our goals.

We are stagnant. 

“Thoughts” are such small cycles in our brain but in increments day by day it shapes our life. Hence it’s important to inculcate good, varied, and happy thoughts. 

Everything to earn money…

If everything we do is to earn money, there wouldn’t be any living.

50% particular of the things we do is not for money but for our enjoyment, our self-satisfaction.

50% is to earn money.

The best case is to do what u love and earn money thru that, if we can find that in life, go for it and grab it.

Today is the day of change…

Change is constant, change is the only consistent factor in life.

Why not take this chance of change to be better? Look at the change as something you have control over. Something you can start small, but can make bigger by taking steps today. 

If used properly change gives a chance to change:

 – Something which you want to be undone, 

 – Something which you want to redo, 

 – Something which you want to do.

Let’s embrace change, as a friend in life to help us be better!

So go change from today…

Amateur vs Professional

I needed to get my visa photos, first given to a local digital studio, with a lot of “ohs” and “aahs” he gave me the photos, that were rejected. Wasted money and time.

The second time gave it to a professional digital studio, he did the job in half a time, without any fuss, with almost the same costs, and finally got the proper photos for the visa.

That’s the difference between amateur and professional.

An amateur will work hard but still screw the work and will waste time and money.

A professional will do great work, in a much shorter time and might cost a bit more but still be reasonable. 

You can make out a difference even if you are a novice. Like the photos, I can make out the difference.

A professional is born out of an amateur by learning, practicing, and being motivated to do the work, she doesn’t take a shortcut.

An amateur is a beginner who can choose to become a professional but with hard work, dedication, and lots of motivation to strive for better.

It is always better to choose a professional than an amateur as it will save time, and money and will lead to much better quality.
