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.
There is no one path for all. Each one has our journey. One common theme is to be open to challenges and accept what’s on our way. We should not hide or close ourselves.
Life gives us many opportunities, and we pick and sail through it. Sometimes, no plan is the best plan. It helps us in sailing in the present.
Our life is limited. Every second, we are dying. What matters in the end is the lives you have impacted with your actions.
All your cars, houses, and watches will stay with your mansions. The 10X10 grave will carry your carcass for eternity.
Charlie Munger just passed away. He turned 99 years old. My inclination towards him has been more toward him as a person than a veteran billionaire.
I loved reading about him. If you read the biography, you will know about the odds he had gone through his life, from losing his eye vision to marriage failure to passing away his favorite son. He was a lawyer by education.
It is not that success came to his life without doing anything. He was a voracious reader. I remember his reference to Benjamin Franklin and Epictetus, the stoic philosopher.
There is no such thing as a guarantee in life.
Everything is impermanent.
We can die any minute; our accumulated wealth can be in ashes in no time. We will become strangers to the rest.
Our life is a sum of memories and actions.
We should live for now and make the best of it.
While dreaming is a healthy practice, it should not mean we give up present dreaming for the future.
We should be grateful and lucky to have all working body parts and breathing.
Life has no guarantee.
There are some days when nothing works. Everything comes crashing. We have to stay on our grounds and let it pass. It is easier said than done. A belief and keeping faith in oneself makes it achievable.
Our life is not a utopia. Most of us are not born with a godfather or a silver spoon. We have to work ass off. We can only play our part and leave the rest. The more we aspire, the more we work, and we will get closer to the result. But there is no guarantee of it being in our favor.
