Why You Can’t Change?

The Key to Change lies with YOU!

“I am like that…I cannot change!”

“We have been doing this for years…!”

“Why do you want to rock the boat?”

Often, we hear this from the people around us or we might use or have used these phrases.

So, how true is that?

Not at all true!!

Why you cannot change when the change can do you much better compared to the harm the status quo is doing to you? And you can change at any point in your life…  

You might have been doing it for years but if it is not producing results or not meeting expectations then what is the use of continuing to do the same thing over and over again?

You need to rock the boat if the boat is not taking you anywhere!

Yes, as simple as that!

The bottom line is that we need to change…change for the good.

Change the habits that are harming you, change your friends if they don’t make you happy, change the environment if it does not let you grow…and lastly, change your old self if you are not happy with yourself.

Embrace the change!

Fall, fail, and hurt yourself…but in the end, you will be thankful to yourself and feel proud that you dared to change the status quo.

Do not reach that stage where the pain of maintaining the status quo becomes much more than the pain of embracing the change!

Cheers!

Keep Going!

This too shall pass…don’t give up!

Keep going!

You must have heard it many a times!

But many a times situations are such that it really becomes difficult to keep going!

So, how do we keep going then?

Simple…just keep going!!

Now, that ‘keep going’ can be even following your normal routine without taking any action. In fact, ‘not taking any action’ is also a form of ‘action’ as you are just not sure what action to take! When you have multiple stakeholders to take care of and if it is really tough to act without any idea of the what the results would be…what action can you take?

But that is the beauty of life and the challenges that it throws all the time!

So, the best option is…still to keep going.

How?

Continue doing what you have been doing (follow your normal routine) and at the same time, pause whenever you can, and look at the bigger picture of what is happening around you. Try to find out where is the issue or the real mess. Pinpoint the major obstacle(s) and attack it (kill it) first. Every problem has a solution howsoever big it may appear or actually might be. Giving away or giving up is the simplest solution and the most stupid one. 

Keep going…you are getting there!

Cheers!

Stick to Your Goal!

Do you have clear goals?

Do you stick to your chosen goal?

It would be a pity if you don’t do so!

Many people lead a miserable life of regret with frustrated ambitions bubbling in their heart because they tamely allowed their own opinion and thoughts to be overruled and set aside from their cherished dream or desired goals.

You will hear many people say with a sad tinge in their eyes…”If only I had stuck to my decision…if I had trusted my own decision and then followed it with persistence to finish, I might have amounted to something and would have been much happier…!”

This the saddest truth of their life…their stories of ‘might have been…’.

But why it happens?

Because such people lack the power to take firm and quick decisions and then to stick to them. They feared and then wavered. Their mind was always in a flux. And hence, they could not arrive…

To achieve your goal, you need to decide quickly and effectively. It is the hallmark of a master mind! Men of unwavering decisions and whole-hearted actions are the achievers.

Say a firm NO when required and a YES with all your vigor when you are sure about yourself. If you are always in a state of dilemma or have a wavering mind, you will arrive nowhere.

All great stories happened because someone took a courageous decision…

Cheers!

Troubleshooting Your Life!

Use Troubleshooting Option Often!

How often you use trouble-shooting while using your gadgets?

Do you use it often while navigating your life as well?

You should!

Do not blame others, luck, circumstances, or weather as you have no control over them. Rather, try to discover the cause of your troubles in yourself!

Why not do a constructive self-criticism?

Do a self-analysis and see if you are not heading in the wrong direction.

Ambitions do create problems!

Analyze your difficulty in proper perspective. Look for the good aspect in every setback. Look your troubles as experiences and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you to make you grow howsoever adverse your circumstances may appear to be.

Actually, your failures strip away the false values and make you realize what you really want. It stops you from chasing butterflies and puts you to work digging gold!

Take help as and when required. Develop the ability to profit from good advice.

Every problem has a solution if tackled with persistence. If your plans go haywire, rearrange them and if needed, start afresh!

It does not matter what happens. But it matters a lot with what you do with what happens to you.

Nothing can beat you until you give up and surrender!

On a lighter note, when you invite trouble, it is usually quick to accept!

So, ready to trouble-shoot?

Have a great weekend!

Cheers!

How Often Do You Write?

Let writing be your routine!

Do you write?

No, I am not talking about the great novel that you have been intending to write for many years for now but still not started off as yet!

Neither it relates to the blogs or the official reports etc.

I am talking about if you are in the habit of writing: –

Your Goals

Your Plan(s)

Your things to do

Your Failures (all time and in recent times)

Your achievements in recent times and till now

Your pain points in life…etc.

i.e., everything related to your life and what keeps on going in your mind most of the time.

It’s always better to write it down. It need not be lengthy paragraphs but can be a summarization in few bullet points.

When you write it down, you have a clear picture of what’s happening, what needs to be done on priority, what needs to be left out…so on and so forth.

It helps you to create that clear vision of how you want to navigate your life.

It has been observed that when you are going through the toughest phase of your life and are in immense pain/pressure, journaling (writing your dairy) helps you in reducing that pain/pressure to a great extent. You feel light and in control of your life and your emotions in spite of the challenges that you might be facing.

So, do you write? If not, then start it now!

Cheers!

Set Clear Goals!

What’s Your Key Goal?

Set yourself a clear Goal!

When you have a well-defined and a clear-cut goal to achieve combined with a burning desire to achieve it, you are already on the road to glory.

An indefinite ambition causes only destructive restlessness and discontent.

Determine your objective first!

Set yourself and a target, a clear goal. Human being is a goal seeking animal. All progress as such is the outcome of this goal seeking desire. Life will lose all its meaning and purpose when it has no goal to reach!

When you have the motive, you will gather all the energy to perform the activity that is required. A drive or motive not only will drive you towards your objective but would also act a booster. And then you move towards a stage when achieving one goal will lead to set and achieve another goal. And the process continues…

Set your goal high! Set a difficult target.

Dare to do something different, something fresh, unexpected- away from the beaten track, away from the cult of mediocrity, the cult of the common man!

Trying to reach high will keep you on your toes. At no point you should say “This is the peak”.

And lastly, if the plan doesn’t work, change the plan, not the goal! 

Cheers!
