I quit my \u00a0full time job in April. Over these few months I have spent good time in reading & mostly philosophy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The common learning from it for me has been is living in this present moment. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. During school days, we work hard and plan\/aim for getting admission to some college, university if we fail, we become unhappy and sometimes take extreme steps.<\/li>\n
  2. Liked someone for years but never had courage to say so and all off a sudden get to see her\/his wedding pics floating on \u00a0timeline [social media]<\/li>\n
  3. We fall in love, plan for living together entire life, things fall apart and we get depressed, stop believing in Love overall.<\/li>\n
  4. We are so busy at work for hope of getting promotions or incentives that we keep delaying our visit to parents & all of a sudden we get to know he\/she is no more.<\/li>\n
  5. We aspire to start or venture into something but so scared of failure that even though things are rough at current workplace we have our ass hooked.<\/li>\n
  6. We avoid talking to someone or venturing into challenge again because we failed being successful in past.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What is going on here?<\/em><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. We are postponing our actions.<\/li>\n
    2. We are scared of failure.<\/li>\n
    3. We are too focussed on our future.<\/li>\n
    4. Our prejudice got more powerful in decision making.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Why?<\/em><\/p>\n

      We are living in this society which has certain protocol & we are conditioned to follow.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. A society where failure is considered stigma.<\/li>\n
      2. A society where life partners or match making is done on your height, color and physical appearance. Not what you are as an individual.<\/li>\n
      3. A society where taking bold steps for doing things now is considered full of risk and has no support system from family or friends.<\/li>\n
      4. A society where religion divides country & relationships among we humans.<\/li>\n
      5. A society where you take birth, study, take job, get married, raise kids and die. Anything else makes you a misfit.<\/li>\n
      6. A society which has taken away our power of questioning the authority or stakeholders.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        THINK, if you want to remain on an autopilot of future or past biases or Live a life NOW.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
