Happiness is not Momentary......

Image
Most people remain unhappy because they don't have what they want. Many think acquiring something material will make them happy. But even after they achieve it, they find themselves not as happy. The reason it so happens is that, it is us who put such conditions on being happy. In reality, if we are not happy about what we already have and don't appreciate it then there is no guarantee that we will be happy in future. We must understand something, Happiness is neither momentary nor does it depend on anything tangible or intangible. It is a way of life. Happiness can be found in trivial things in life. We can choose to be happy if we want. Happiness is not something supernatural. It is already there within each of us. All we need to do is to free it from the "if...then" thinking and start enjoying everything that life has to offer. Hurry up guys, clock is ticking. With each passing day, the world is changing, our circumstances are changing, you are changing.

Rise Above the Criticism to Succeed

"When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical."   - Unknown We come across hundreds of people who constantly criticize other people or person for no reason. Even I found myself doing that most of the times. Soon I realized that this particular habit was actually keeping me from achieving my dreams. Why? Because to criticize someone/something we need to: Spend valuable time & effort in observing the person/situation Analyze the situation so as to find the areas to be critical about And finally verbalize ideas so that what you say makes sense to the other person In short, criticizing requires a good deal of creativity & a lot of deliberation. There can be thousands of reasons for people to criticize others. I have listed the most important ones below: They are insecure & often have inferiority. They are frustrated with their own shortcomings. They suffer

Make Most of Life

We all keep waiting for the right things to happen before we actually do something to change the things around us. But most of us forget that we are losing out on a non renewable resource of our lives -Time. Every thing else in life is replaceable, time is not. If you are one of these people then stop wasting your time and start doing what you always wanted to do. If you kept waiting for the right moment or right opportunity, it is never going to come. The right time is now. Do it now.  No matter what you want to do, just do it. Don't spend too much time preparing. Preparation is necessary but too much of it can potentially make you lose the opportunity at hand. Your best years will be gone before you know it. You will be engrossed in your life and won't realize it untill you are 60 years old. This is what happens to 99% of the people. They keep postponing the things to the point that it becomes impossible to do them. Don't fall in a procrastination trap. The ea

Destiny Calling

People often complain about the number of failures they have faced. And after couple of episodes , they give up on their dreams. What they fail to realize is that life has a different mechanism of delivering goods. Let’s take an example of Mr. Soichino Honda, founder of Honda Corporation. When he began , he was desperately trying to sell some piston rings (which are used in car engines) with little success. He had put in a lot of efforts and money into its development. It was time of World War II and economy of Japan was all time low.Mr. Honda was short of finances, so much so that it became difficult for him to pay for the fuel for his car. So he developed a small engine that would consume much less fuel and fitted that to his bicycle. This invention helped him save substantially on his fuel bills. Few of his neighbors and friends, who were facing similar problems, asked him if he could manufacture such Motor-Cycles for them as well. This is how the idea picked up and rest,

What Matters, Conviction or Resources?

We often see individuals often evade the responsibility of their own actions. They blame every thing around them for their failures. Most commonly incarcerated thing is lack of resources. But do resources really matter? I am not underestimating the importance of resources, but there are people around us who lacked very basic amenities and analyzing their circumstances one can easily point out that they had a very slim chance of making their dreams come true. I personally know a person who had absolutely no resources at his disposal but had a dream, dream of becoming a doctor. Let's call him AK. He was born in a small and very backward village in Central India. His father was teacher and also owned some land and some cattle. AK's father was in the transferable job so his wife (AK's mother) looked after the farming activities. AK helped his mother by taking care of the cattle. He used to take them for grazing after his morning school. He always carried his books along. W

Love and Use

I heard someone say, Love people and use things. Most people seem to do the exact opposite, they love things and use people. They have highest regard for their material acquisitions. But the world is sure filled with gems who really give highest importance to humans. I was travelling with one of my relatives. He was driving is brand new Swift D'sire. It had hardly been six month since he purchased this car. It was a warm summer morning and we were going to a restaurant for a breakfast. As we waited at a traffic signal for lights to turn green, an old Premere Padmini bumped into our car from behind. My uncle immediately jumped out of the car and rushed to the car that hit us. An elderly gentleman, who was probably in his sixties, came out of the car and in a very apologetic tone started speaking to my uncle. About 15-20 people gathered around us within a minute of an accident. Uncle's car was badly damaged. The tail light was completely crushed and there appeared a
