This post is most importantly A reminder to myself.
I have heard people saying, we will do more of this and less of that and they end up in same position year on year. Some people say” We want to be successful”
This “ Being Successful” definition varies for everyone. To some it may mean being Rich and To some it may mean , being famous/ Popular
.To me “Success is not carrying Big bucks home nor being a known figure in the society, but content to the core by giving my 100% to whatever I do”
There is a track record of so many famous personalities who have quit their cushy jobs to pursue something which could satisfy their inner selves. Live life for you and not for others.
The purpose of life should be to “Live a life to impress the Creator and not his Creations”
These are some of the “Serious” Resolutions I have taken up for myself and wanted to share the same with you:
1. Keep Asking questions: Asking questions to oneself makes you more aware of your presence. Ask more of why, When , where and definitely you will arrive at the How part, which matters the most.
2.Come out of your comfort zone: Nobody has achieved any thing in life by being in their comfort zones. Success comes closer once you are in your discomfort zone…Success says” you move one step out of your comforts, i will move 10 steps towards you”. Like to stay fit, you will have to stop being lazy and work towards your health.
3.Avoid Distractions in life: There are many juiciest and easy options available to lure you out of your path. The other day there was a discussion in my family regarding why kids are more inclined towards playing games on gadgets these days, the conclusion was ,kids find Playing games on Gadgets more juicy and attractive as compared to the outdoor gully games. We decided to stick to time limit for the Gadgets like one hour a day and planning their day in such a way that they don’t feel need of the gadgets. It is for you to define ways to avoid those distractions. An example here can be from the latest Movie of a Lgend “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag”. He gets distracted to a girl and walks away from his goal. He defines his limit and shifts his focus as soon as he gets to know about the distractions for him.
4.Dont Delay something which can be done today: A very nice quote by our fellow advisor Mr. Nandish Desai from Jagoinvestor group which I have kept as my wallpaper in laptop “ Investors will have to beat their Internal Procrastination than external Inflation.” Rather than finding lame excuses , stand in the front of Mirror and ask yourself looking into your eyes ” Is the task so big that I need to leave it on tomorrow? ”
4. Stare into your Fear’s face: I have promised myself to atleast do one thing daily which I feel is my fear. Stare into Fear’s face and I believe that the Fear will be scared of your determination.
“Khud ko kar Buland itna ki Khuda tujhse pooche, Bata teri RAZA kya hai”
5. Keep Walking: Keep Walking is the Mantra. There are no shortcuts to success. One needs to keep walking despite of Hurdles and Obstacles. If you keep on looking at your I cant get up,that means I am escaping from Reality…the sooner we realize that we are the only options., everything in life will look so beautiful.
6. Never say NO to Opportunities: Recently, I was attending a function in school. After the show, Principal invited parents to come on stage and dance like the little ones did a while ago. Out of 200 parents, only 10 came up on the stage and were enjoying like anything. This made me realize there is no perfect time to do anything you wish to do.” Live every moment as if you are going to die today.”
