There is only certain amount of bandwidth in your brain. Now you got to choose and decide on the things that makes your mind bandwidth worth the effort.
If you choose to spend your valuable brain’s bandwidth on some random stuff, you have less of it when you need it for more valuable and important things in life or in a day. And in this case you have less of this energy to spend for better things.
- Let’s say you go on a Facebook or twitter battle with some random person who has a different opinion, you loose some of your time and effort in it. It reduces your brain’s will power or bandwidth for important stuff you need to do. You have less focus and energy when you do that stuff that matter to you.
- Let’s say you have to argue with your colleague or your boss for most of the work that you do. It reduces your efficiency when you do the actual stuff.
- Let’s say you have trivial fights and arguments with your other person in your relationship, it chips off the mental bandwidth.
- Let’s say you would watch some negative mind numbing news or entertaining videos in the morning, it again cuts off your mental potential to do other important things in the day.
We need to realize that our will power is finite and it has its own limitations. So we got to make a strong decision to involve ourselves in positive and inspiring content. Comparing ourselves with others, feeling jealous of others achievements and position , feeling bad that you are not enjoying the same way like others is a waste of time. It adds nothing to your life. You would only lose valuable mental energy by fretting on the things you have no control over.
You can get inspired to get better, grow, learn, develop and do what it takes to reach the next level by comparing yourself to others. It is fine if we compare ourselves with others to become wiser, more skillful, more sincere, more committed, more disciplined, a better father or mother, a better husband or wife. Comparison in these values is worth the mental effort and time.
But thinking and pondering why others are successful or enjoying better things in life, hating others who are in a higher position or hating yourself for not having great things in life is loser’s mindset. Even having time to think this way must make you realize that you are having so much of bandwidth to do something if not everything.
Do something that you feel meaningful to you in life, care for something in life, contribute for some cause how small it may be, help or support others in improving their lives.
Most importantly Care for yourself because no one else in this world would care for you than yourself. Take the effort to rescue yourself .
I personally feel that in our lifetime, We do not need to do everything and make everything right but we must do something at least. We must choose to pursue at least one thing that matters to us and that makes other’s lives better.
As someone said “STAND UP FOR SOMETHING OR YOU WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING”.
