Remember when we were children, we wanted to become adults very soon? Children want to become adult because they see freedom of action. Adults don’t have to ask for anything from anyone, they can do what they like, there is no one to scold them, they don’t have to study, adults don’t have to go to school, they don’t have to do homework etc. These are some reasons children want to become adults soon.
Now, when we are already adults we miss our school time, that golden period of our lives where we had to follow rules and regulations, we had to be in decipline. We miss our school friends, some are in touch and some are not. We are so busy in earning a living that we have no time even to think about it, isn’t it?
We should balance our professional and personal life wisely. So that, we also have time for leisure, for hobbies, just to rest, enjoy nature, spend time with our family and friends. When we miss our school friends we also miss those old days when we were children.
Don’t take life too seriously. If you love swimming, just go for it. If you love cycling, just do it. It’s always right to do what you love, instead of regretting or wasting time thinking, I am too old for all this.
Health and happiness gohand in hand. If you arehealthy then you arehappyand if you are happy youwill automatically becomehealthy. For your health for your happiness, to stay young always, never think you are too old to start again.
You can start a business at 60. I have seen people who have started at the age of 60 and above and are very successful. Because they don’t think that they are 60. They think that they can achieve anything at any age.
So, what are you waiting for? Join a sports academy for your fitness 💪. Indulge in any creative activity 🎨. Be financially independent. Or, do something to inspire others.
My last blog was about believe in God and here comes the next ‘ Believe in yourself ‘. People who believe in themselves believe in their dreams, to fulfill those dreams they make efforts in the right direction to achieve them. When we believe in ourselves we becomes confident in each and every action of ours without any doubt. We don’t need anyone’s approval or permission that, is this right or wrong. When we accept ourselves as we are, with all flaws and perfections, we believe in ourselves. The confidence level becomes high and it makes us express and impress others too. When we love ourselves we not only become source of motivation and happiness for ourselves but to others too.
Have you seen an artist performing on stage? They so confidently perform their character on stage that we believe that they are the same character in real life too. This is the magic of believing in yourself. Imagine again, if the artist performing, didn’t believe in themselves and performed half-heartedly, no one would have been impressed. For doing anything in life we must believe first that we can do it. This is the ‘mantra’. Creating new blogs now and then with interesting topics is also a challenge in itself, but what motivates us and makes us happy is that the love and appreciation of audience.
The mistake which we make is we keep on depending on others. That dependency makes us paralytic at times. Though we need support of others in every stage of life but never give your key to happiness in someone else pocket, keep it with you. Motivate yourself in the morning, write 5 good qualities about yourself, which you possess. Write 5 things which you want to change in yourself. Laugh at your flaws and accept them. Always remember nobody is perfect in this whole world. Take good care of your health, make healthy choice according to your age while eating.
When we believe in ourselves it is accompanied by confidence, this confidence boost our mind and bring happiness in everything we do, we feel worthy. When we know our worth, not only it makes us priceless but we came to know who is the deriving force for us. Who are our kind of people and who are not. Qualities which we possess are our assets, use them wisely. Use them for your good and the society. When we fail in any task or can’t achieve any target, we feel demotivated and disappointed. Instead we must think about other opportunities and possibilities rather than just get struck with our disappointments.
The people who put you down all the time are not your people. Beware of them, instead make new friends who appreciate and are happy for your happiness and are sad when you are low. First things first is, become so busy in your improvement and well being that you don’t have time for gossips. Remember those who talk behind your back are people who deserve your back. Don’t feel sad to lose them rather they are loosing you.
Believing yourself is one step ahead in the long journey of life. Do what makes you happy more often. Look at new horizons. Being happy, being you, being kind, being human, being at peace with yourself is new defination of success. Give yourself a chance to look at things with different perspective. Persue your hobbies or passion. Be creative, be wild, be humourous, be fantastic.
Believe that you can, believe that you will. No one can stop you from achieving your dreams. Believe in them. Have full faith that everything will turn to be in your favour.
Do you believe in God? I do. It is the best and more trustworthy method to find peace of mind, which most of us are finding, by downloading an app or by paying handsome amount to rejuvenate. When we believe in God our outlook changes altogether to see life from different perspective. We not only find happiness within ourselves but feel happy to make others happy too. We are more happy with what we have and are satisfied. Riches are everyone’s desire but it should not cost your peace of mind.
Visit to a historical place, religious travels cleanses our soul. Running after money all the time gives so much stress, anxiety, diseases that we have to spend handsome amount to get relieved, healthy. Travelling to a holy place not only makes us know that place but provide us it’s positivity too. Some people don’t believe in God, may be they think that they are the source of their happiness and God don’t have a role in their lives. But it’s not true at all, the word ‘KARMA’ says it all, what you will sow, you will reap. If your nature reflects jealousy, ego, anger, arrogance that means you are not enlightened soul and needs God’s guidance.
When you do something wrong or hurt anyone intentionally. It’s denotes your Karma and the consequences will be accordingly. Those who have fear of God, believe in God never attempt these deeds. Rather they are kind, humble, helpful and down to earth souls. Be it any religion or any God we worship, we are never taught to hate anyone, we are not taught to harm anyone. So I wonder about the people who don’t worship or believe any God, never been to holy place to worship. I wonder what restrain them to do so. We can cleanse our body but to cleanse our mind and soul we need to worship the Lord.
One should be patient when someone hurt them. Leave it to God to do the justice. Believe that you will always win. Sometimes we wish one thing, but Lord give us in abundance and this is his way of pouring the love on us. We must always be thankful to God. When we trust the almighty it strengthens us. No matter what we be through, it gives us courage and motivation that God will help us and enlighten our lives. We and whole world is creation of God. The purpose of our existence is only known to him.
When we think practically, we think in monetary terms, like how much profit we will gain, how much to invest to fetch handsome return and emotions takes a backseat. When we think emotionally we are are least bother about any gains but want to win a relation. When we think spiritually, we become children of God and surrender in front of him. When we are in party mood we forget everything and gets indulge in drinking, casino, we see a new world where everyone is happy and enjoying, but overindulgence is bad.
It’s not that those who believe in God never party, we do but our way of celebrating is somewhat different. We include presence of God in each our celebrations, because he is the reason for our celebrations, how can we forget him. In Gurbani its said: ਸੋ ਕਿਉਂ ਵਿਸਰੇ ਜਿਨ ਸਭ ਕਿਛੁ ਦੀਆਂ। English Translation: Why to forget the almighty who has given us everything. Likewise we never forget him in sorrow so that we gets strength to face this situation too.
We have seen many times Doctors failed and lives of patients saved by a miracle. What this miracle shows, it shows that there is a power or force which is over and above man’s intelligence. We have seen doctors find themselves helpless in this pandemic. The situation was worsening in many parts of the world, we have seen videos of doctors who were worshiping God for help. We can’t deny and will always be thankful to doctors and medical staff who worked day and night to save lives of people without bothering about their lives. Their reaserch gave us life saving vaccines, they are still working on children vaccine. Those who believe in God saved lives of others, the kindness, humanity, helpful nature which each religion possesses works for us.
We should always visit holy places to get vaccinated against hate, jealousy, wrong deeds, anger. Pay our respect there and again go for booster shots if needed. But as pandemic is still not ended, should always wear mask, maintain social distance andclean your hands.
In today’s world of showoff and fakeness it’s very difficult to be, what you are. The first step towards being yourself is, treat yourself nicely. Take good care of your health first, then think of others as its said ‘you can’t pour from empty cup’.
Our lifestyle is such that we are running towards achieving some targets or goals all the time, for example a sales manager is worried to achieve sales targets, a fat person’s goal may be to reduce weight and so on. In this fast life of ours we must slow down a little bit and try to live a simple life. A simple life not only make us calm and composed but also bring the feeling of satisfaction.
Sometimes we do certain things to please others, we fake smile, we become extra nice, we showoff how rich we are, we wear expensive stuff to impress others. But we forget, by doing such acts, we might get the attention of others, but in the process we loose ourselves totally.
We in this world of technology, are more active on social media than in real life. The creativity which was present in each one of us has taken a back stage. We get all the help from Google. Earlier we use to learn from each other but now if you want to learn anything, you have tutorials available on youtube, and that too free of cost. Now, when someone travel, will post on social media platform, if someone visited a restaurant, will post a pic of what they are eating. The way we use to talk to each other have changed drastically.
The more we have become dependent on technology, the more we are loosing ourselves. We don’t find time to do any creative activity or our mind has become so dull that we can’t think of anything creative. In this case I am lucky, I was planning to do something creative for so long but couldn’t understand what to do. And one lucky day I entered into the vast world of blogging. I will share honest experience with you that from the day I started blogging, I have seen change in myself. Earlier I spent almost whole day on social media seeing this video, sharing that post. It was so unproductive and waste of time. Now my mind have become creative and I feel so happy when I publish new blog of mine. I feel that, yes, this is my creation. I have not copy it from anywhere.
‘SPEAK LESS THAN YOU KNOW, HAVE MORE THAN YOU SHOW’. Our thirst for knowledge should be such that, we must focus to first learn ourselves and then only advice others. Copying others is waste of time, you will only try to copy others, but where are your creativity if you copy others. Some people think that if my friend have choosen such a course or doing a particular business, I will also do the same. This shows how dull your mind have become that you can’t even choose what your potential is, what you are capable of. You haven’t think of things which may be your friend might not be good at but you are. Think out of the box. To be yourself , you have to spend time with yourself. Then only you can decide, what are the things that makes you happy. Your lifestyle allows you how much time to devote on yourself. When you stop those stupid act of forwarding received post, as it is, and think to create something of your own. When you wear dresses according to your choice, when you visit places you want to visit, when you eat what you like, when you are free to be happy or sad. This mindset when you achive will take you to the steps further, to be yourself.
We all are unique, everyone has a quality or the other, we just have to recognise it and ask a question to ourselves that ‘What is unique in me, that makes me different from others’? The answer to this question will be different in each case. But this will make you the person, you actually are. So, BE YOURSELF.
Education enlightens our path to success. Education which we get right from childhood help us to communicate with different people and help us to reach our goals.
There are a large number of people who are illiterate or less educated, that doesn’t mean they are worthless. If they have a thirst to get educated, it will only help them and the society in which they live.
An educated citizen is an asset to its country. Educated person, with their skill, dedication, knowledge and hard work can help its country’s development. He can help in making policies, laws, rules. It’s because of our education, that bloggers blog and readers read and understand. We all exchange different ideas, knowledge,skill, which empowers us. It’s unto us that how and in what ways we can take optimum advantage of our knowledge and education.
Education doesn’t mean just passing out from college or university. It’s a continuous learning process. Education makes us capable of understanding and solving different and complicated problems of not only our day to day life but future also. The communication skill which we have is just because of knowledge of a language, be it written or spoken helps us to convey our message around the globe.
There is vast ocean of knowledge. Its due to education only, that different scientists made vaccines, its their knowledge which is helping us to fight the pandemic. Doctors, teachers, Financial Experts and other professionals are an asset to the country.
Education can be attained at any age. We should not stop learning, rather we should always keep learning throughout our life.
Whenever we see this title anywhere, picture of our old buddies comes to our mind. We feel elated to remember our friends. When just remembering them makes us so happy. How about meeting them after so long?
Social media has made our lives so comfortable that we can be in touch with them 24/7. We can share our pictures, videos with them. But the joy of meeting them in person is more appealing. It’s not the number of friends which measure how friendly you are, having less but real friends is more important.
A real friend is one who stand by your side in all thick and thin situations, who don’t judges you,gives you good advice, when needed, loves you when you stop loving yourself, sometimes scolds you and show you the right path. I am lucky that I have less but real friend who always, always always stand by my side.
Let’s see what science says:
• Friendship can be a strong painkiller • Friendships keep mind sharp • Helps you cope with stress • Impacts blood pressure • Boost self-esteem • Good friend keep you from doing things which are bad for you, like drinking or smoking.
‘Friends are family which we choose for ourselves’
