Why do we blame others? Could it be because we are unhappy with ourselves? Somewhere deep inside, we have that lingering urge of unfulfilled love.
Can we see the world clearly with a void inside? When we are broken and fighting every morning within. When we are hating ourselves within?
Do you know what your cook, co-passenger, or chauffeur is going through? Mostly not.
We are so engaged in our world that thinking outside is the last of our concerns.
When was the last time you called your parents or grandparents?
We migrated for better living to other cities and countries. The large families ended up becoming nuclear. On top of it, our cost of living increased, and we had to work harder and more hours to survive.
The sense of togetherness and belonging to a community is getting eroded. We are now on ourselves. Our individuality has taken over. The urge to own everything and be the best at everything is only blinding us.
We are so lost in seeking validation from others that we have no clue about others or who we are deep within.
People will do favors for you because they like you.
The world we live in has a likeability quotient.
We are part of this community or cluster or a tribe.
We have to ask ourselves how much others matter to us.
At what point do we change ourselves to be liked by others?
We should have our guiding principles. Something that keeps us sailing in the worst of times.
I am not saying we should not change. But what I am saying is, at what cost?
We imagine a perfect world.
Our list of wants is unending, and we have to earn it. We also need to work hard for it. Dreaming can only take us to one place. But the real magic happens when we start executing.
Our ideas are worth a dime, something we should remember. In the end, it’s the result. What matters in the end is how you deliver.
All speak, and no talk can temporarily elevate your stature. But it will be short-lived. As a rule of thumb, let your work speak for itself.
We talk about love and news, movies, and advertisements, all linked to attraction, sex, and looks.
The projection of love has gotten the center position instead of what love is.
Entire consumerism runs on love.
But what really is love a few cares about?
The sense of purpose, belonging, and togetherness has taken a back seat. Love has become agreement, and everything comes down to some business deal.
It really takes courage to go against the tide. Most of us are lazy, scared, and like defaults. It gets us a comfortable life. When the time comes for bets, many take a step back.
This world is running, and misfits have a role in it, people who went through all the odds and tired, tested, and delivered.
If we want a sedentary life, we can manage to live. A few are misfits with big dreams. Most died trying, and a few won by changing the world forever.
The choice is yours. What you want will define the pain you will undertake.
Most of our battle is with our brain. The tricky element of our body can make or break us. The successful ones know how to fight with it or at least tame it. We live our life, at least most part of it, with our thoughts.
In order to think right and tame our mind one has to put into rigors region of correct daily habits and vice/virtue calculations.
Food, community, and physical fitness all have an impact on our brains and body. So in short to lead a well meaningful life we have to live well. To live well we have to consume the right things.
There are days when I thank the almighty for my roots. I feel lucky to have witnessed every aspect of life while growing up. I have acquired limited learning about culture and traditions. But I am happy with what I have seen so far. I still have a long way ahead.
I like being a straight shooter. Many people dislike me for that. But I like being straight with my interactions or business dealings. It keeps things simple.
Our days on this planet are limited. We have to make the best of every minute. One thing that keeps things going is simple conversation and business dealings.
Most successful people I have known have been straight shooters. It eradicates confusion and keeps things moving.
Trust is a global currency. Most successful people guide it and give the utmost priority to it. We can create all the wealth we like by various means. But to survive in society and to face the world, the virtue of trust trumps others.
Trust takes us to the high hills of our success. Be it business or relationship. One should give extra care to it.
