On hopelessness
When you are working towards something, there is always hope.
Hopelessness is felt on two occasions:
- When you haven’t yet started and feel there is no way you can (untrue more often).
- When you achieve what you wanted but it doesn’t change how you feel (true more often).
5 questions to ask your parents before its too late
1) What is your happiest memory of us?
2) How was the first year of parenthood for you?
3) What is the nicest thing I have ever done for you?
4) What are the best & worst parts about getting older?
5) What’s one thing you want me to always remember after you are gone?
What is your success?
Your salary is not your only success.
Your happiness is as well.
Your marks are not your only success.
Your learning is as well.
Your designation is not your only success.
YOUR description of your designation is as well.
The world will make us believe a fake definition of success.
Not falling for it is the biggest success!
Your job is not the most important thing
If you died, your manager would put out a job posting in 48hrs looking for a replacement.
Your friends and family will never get that chance.
As much as your job is necessary, do not ignore the relationships where you remain irreplaceable.
Are you emotionally intelligent?
Emotionally intelligent people allow themselves their bad days, their hard moments, their tough admissions.
And they give themselves the space to experience them all.
Knowing that this too shall pass.
As will the good ones as well.
Don’t let your emotions influence your decisions
We make the worst decisions when we make them in the moment, led by our emotions.
We make the best decisions when we make them with no pressure, led by our awareness.
Spend time creating options
YOU ARE NOT STUCK.
No one’s ever stuck.
In life if you feel stuck, you will be FAR MORE miserable for the exact same conditions, than if you have options.
It is true, not just for work.
It is true for relationships.
It is true for money.
True for life.
Even if the option you create is only marginally better, it will compound subconsciously to make you feel more powerful eventually.
The worst enemy in your life is the person who convinces you that you do not have any other choice. That you do not have options.
That you are stuck.
Often that person is you yourself.
The power of managing your time
Managing time can be intensely hard in today’s distraction-filled world.
I see it as an opportunity to stand out.
The world is going to reward even more, the ability to take control of one’s time and drive your own agenda.
3 things I’ve realised as I’ve gotten older
1. Our body and mind is all that we have.
2. There is nothing more powerful than knowing you can buy anything but you don’t need it in life.
3. The best friendship is the one you will build with yourself.
Gentle reminder
You DO NOT need to set up your life before you are 30.
Life is not a scripted game.
Things won’t go as you planned and adding a deadline will not necessarily help.
Take your time.
Explore.
You have time.
