Most people drift through life. With no purpose, direction, goal, mission and what they want to become or achieve finally. It is not short term but we are talking about long term here. It is not about being unhappy or sad. Many people are content being just neutral and not feel anything at all. It is just like having no excitement when we wake up, no expectation from this day or no idea of how to spend the day fruitfully and feel fulfilled at the end of the day.
Some people believe that ‘Fitting in’ to adhere to societal norms would make the life easier, safer. So here what happens is they tend to go which ever direction life drives them. They are not in control of their happiness or life. They are dependent on life’s decisions to give them happiness or grief. They let the life to program and create agenda for them. Many people would allow anything and anyone to impact their lives and impact the direction of their lives.
STAND FOR SOMETHING SO THAT YOU DON’T FALL FOR ANYTHING
HAVE AN AGENDA FOR YOURSELF SO THAT YOU DON’T RUN ON OTHER’S AGENDAS.
PROGRAM YOUR MIND SO THAT OTHERS DONT PROGRAM YOUR MIND.
LIVE IN THIS WORLD AND DON’T LET THE WORLD LIVE IN YOUR MIND.
- You should be in control of your feelings, your attitude, your behavior, your actions . Circumstances and life should not define your personality. We need to decide how we feel and behave. We are in control which state of mind we want to be. If we have positivity and optimistic about the day, better things happen to us. If we feel exhausted and irritated with all different things that happen around us, we feel miserable. They let the circumstances define their behavior and mindset. They will never be sure of how they would be at any stage of life. Instead, be positive, do the best you could do in any situation, be in control of your feelings, instead focus your mind on something that is useful to you. This makes you productive and satisfied. If you are in control, then you become empowered. You start to attract better circumstances and outcomes. Improve, develop and become stronger, do that daily work on you so that you can be ready for any uncertainty thrown at you. So that you can welcome the overwhelming changes and take them head on.
- Being grateful and being thankful for everyone and everything happens to us. Happy people are happy because they appreciate and show gratitude more than unhappy people. It is almost true that a person with miserable mindset who is poor would mostly be miserable even he is rich. A person who cannot make the best use of resources in the current situation may not be successful in being productive when he has everything in life. Feel blessed and you will be blessed.
- Be yourself and be true to yourself. In the world right now many people change their personalities to fit in or get attraction of certain people. Most probably you may not be able to survive or be fulfilled being someone else for somebody. Just be yourself, you will have to attract people for who are, you need to be rewarded for who are. The rewards, happiness success might not last for long if you wear a mask. If you are you, right people who love you for who you are will show up. You will be able to make use of the opportunities in a right way only if you see them through you true eyes and true self.
- You are capable of anything. Anything you believe strongly could be your reality. That dream or passion you have, work for it, plan for it, go for it.
- Kindness and empathy always works. Do not lose hope on kindness. Only because you have been ill-treated does not mean you need to be cruel to others. Always do good , think good and try to bring good to other’s lives. People want be with kind and good people.
- Believe that everything happens for a reason and there is an opportunity in it. It could have happened for you to become stronger , to learn a lesson. Sometimes things happen in our best interest even though it may seem to be not at that moment. You can inspire others in the process.
- Always give your best and be better the next day. If you keep believing that your best is yet to come, you keep improving and developing. You would not stop and become complacent at any stage of life. You will be inspirational and motivational to others and for yourself. You will have the drive and mindset to achieve bigger and better things in life.
