How You Can Make Your Life Beautiful!

Life can be beautiful…give it a try! Pic Credit : Pixabay

A child fears nothing while trying something new…and enjoys the whole process and the outcome. An adult thinks ten times before attempting something new….and lives with constant fear throughout the process. Always have a child like attitude!

Two things that makes you RICH are good health and peace of mind. No matter what all you accumulate throughout your life, if you are not healthy enough to enjoy it or if it does not give you any peace, you remain POOR.

Life is like that; when you thought all is set and nothing can go wrong now…you get hit the hardest! Similarly, when you thought all is finished and see no hope…blessings happen and you hit a fortune!

When things are going on well, we all perform well. It’s only in crisis that our real potential is tested… as to how well we can perform in the adversity. Be the real performer!

We get engaged in our daily fire fighting mode, busy making stop gap arrangements, putting stuff under the carpet… and life goes on. Take a break! Think about the person you want to be and put your efforts in that direction.

Should I….?

Does ‘What if…’ bothers you?

‘What if….”

Does this thought often bother you? Are you the one who spends a lot of time thinking on “What if….” before starting anything new? Do you often think of the negative aspects even if there are no valid reasons to do so?

You will notice that all your ‘What if…” have one common element- the fear factor!

 The ‘fear of the unknown’.

What is Fear of Unknown?

Most of this fear is based out of your assumptions and not on facts. You need to make yourself free from this ‘unknown fear’. Unless and until you do that, it will be difficult for you to accomplish anything important in your life- both at personal and at professional level.

How does one achieve that state of mind? I will share something from my own life. I too had many fears in my mind as I was growing up. Moving from adolescence state to a young man and then to crossing my midlife, I was continuously faced with so many fears that many times I wondered if at all will I be leading a free and happy life devoid of all my fears? Then as I gained experience in life, I slowly started taking risks; risks of giving an attempt to all the things/activities that I had some kind of fear attached to. And I was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the fears that I associated with these things/activities were mere fears only!

In practical life, they (the fears) just don’t exist!

What is the solution?

Here is the Key; to begin with, attempt very small or not very significant fears of yours and keep repeating the action (your attempt) accumulating the small victories. After a point, you will have the confidence and the mental strength to attack your bigger fears. And slowly you will achieve bigger victories. You will be ready to take calculated risks in your life and will make significant progress.

And you know what? The biggest lesson for me in all this was:

People give a damn about you!

So, the biggest worry that we have in our mind ‘what will people say’ is so irrelevant and exasperating.

And remember: On the other side of your FEAR…. lies your SUCCESS!

If I can give you only one tip to improve your life, what would it be?

If I am to give you only one tip to improve your life then it would be- Be Positive always!

Whatever be the adversity, always have a positive frame of mind. Always think that good will happen…soon! Hope for the good and be prepared for the worst. This is the ideal way to lead our lives. Remember, over thinking on any situation will not lead to a solution rather it will kill you slowly. It’s like over eating…not going to help you. So, always be optimistic. And believe me, when you start thinking positively, positive things start happening to you.

It’s the most fundamental law of the universe- Law of attraction! Have positive thoughts and you will attract positivity from the universe.

Life is full of challenges…every single day. You need to be mentally strong and positive to fight out those challenges. There would be tough times time and again, and again you need to be positive to face the tough times boldly.

So, always be positive howsoever bad the situation might be and you will see that it’s not that difficult to lead a happy and peaceful life!

Cheers!

Peace of mind is very important in life!

A calm and relaxed mind helps you to take the right decisions

Peace of mind is very important in life!

How can we achieve it?

Meditation, deep breathing exercises, money, power, health, relationships…

What contributes to the peace of mind?

Duke University did a study on “peace of mind.” Factors found to contribute greatly to emotional and mental stability are:

1.    The absence of suspicion and resentment. – Nursing a grudge was a major factor in unhappiness.

2.    Not living in the past. – An unwholesome preoccupation with old mistakes and failures leads to depression.

3.    Not wasting time and energy fighting conditions you cannot change.- Cooperate with life, instead of trying to run away from it.

4.    Force yourself to stay involved with the living world. – Resist the temptation to withdraw and become reclusive during periods of emotional stress.

5.    Refuse to indulge in self-pity when life hands you a raw deal. – Accept the fact that nobody gets through life without some sorrow and misfortune.

 6.  Cultivate the old-fashioned virtues—love, humour, compassion and loyalty.

 7.   Do not expect too much of yourself. – When there is too wide a gap between self-expectation and your ability to meet the goals, you have set, feelings of inadequacy are inevitable.

   8.  Find something bigger than yourself to believe in.-Self-cantered egotistical people score lowest on any test for measuring happiness.

Cheers!

10 Powerful Inspirational Quotes

A young lady looking at the new dawn with stretched arms as if to embrace it

The Pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The Optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.

It’s not important whether you were knocked down. What is important is ‘Did you get up?’

The greatest courage is to bear defeat without losing heart.

You need a heart to dream and a mind to set new goals. Your age has nothing to do with it.

You will have a strong Destiny if you follow the three Ds religiously in whatever you do- Discipline, Dedication, and Determination.

Life does not fail you. You fail life by not responding to the continuous opportunities that it offers to you.

If you imagine yourself as a Failure, you are bound to fail. But if you start with success in mind, you might achieve it or not but you will have a successful journey in pursuit of your Goal.

You might have failed in the past but it has no power to stop you from achieving success in the future. Only you have to decide and begin your every day with new vigour, determination and more resilience to achieve your goal.

Every problem in your life is an opportunity for you to build a new and better life, be it relationship, health, work or business.

Remember, at some stage in your life you will face hard times. Hard time will make you humble, grateful, respectful for money and time, value friendship, fight your own battle and endure pain. It is the process to make you ready to embrace success and happiness.

10 Powerful Life Quotes from George Bernard Shaw

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can’t find them, make them.

Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get.

I have to live for others and not for myself: that’s middle-class morality.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Do not fight with pigs – you will be smeared in mud but the pig will like it.

Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.

Don’t wait for the right opportunity; create it.

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
