Charting new territories can be daunting |
I was going to write this article with a lot of negativity in my head. I must confess I don't have a problem with Negativity, but I felt a sense of having a heavy head and negativity combined (a toxic combination).
I thought of just being present in the moment and releasing all these thoughts. I had a small sip of water and just distracted myself with a small conversation.
Now I am really refreshed and it feels awesome.
I believe every moment and month is an opportunity. I also believe every hope and desire you have has meaning and is important.
Sometimes we have this thought that things should be perfect or better. I think accepting the madness and living in spite of it, is the key.
So the question at hand is how do we achieve what we think is important to us quickly and now.
Let me share a story with you,
This story I lived during my dieting phase. I had got a full health checkup done for some reason I don't remember and when I showed the doctor (who was going to help me with my weight issues) the results were quite concerning.
It just shocked me and I don't know why (I was quite a foodie). My diet was not the healthiest and I thought the solution to it was losing weight.
I just wanted to lose all of this weight quickly. I asked the doctor to help me lose it and within a month.
I was ready to do anything to lose it, the doctor told me it was not recommended to lose it so soon and in an just a month (What was I thinking, lol).
He suggested I change my lifestyle and it really helped me shape up.
Later I realized that wanting something can make it happen, but there is a time and timespan for certain tasks to bear fruit in an optimal way.
We don't need to rush and have it instantly. In my case, I realized that Weight or being fat was a symptom of an unhealthy lifestyle.
There are different body shapes and its good, but in my situation I had no reason to look like that.
How can we achieve more this month?
Firstly, Stop reading this article. Reading is a good habit. I love reading and it teaches you a lot.
You get to connect with a lot of ideas and people, it is fun. But for the reading to impact your life, you need to act.
Action is a very important component. You want things to change, take action. Can things get worse, yes it could? But staying where you are and not acting is not going to change anything.
Yes, There is a risk to taking action. I have written a couple of blogs on Action. Check it here!
I would accompany 'Taking Action' with being Present in the moment. Let the current moment absorb you.
Don't let your mind wander, focus on the moment. I am writing a blog, I write the blog, I don't let my mind wander and think about anything else.
Give your 100% to yourself by focusing on your actions. You have been planning and waiting for this moment since a long time. Give it your best.
Now since you are taking action, What do you do next? See where you are going and think about the possibilities.
Sometimes certain Perceptions may not bear the potential to be fruitful. We must explore different sides to the same situation.
Life is dynamic and so should also our plans bear the same quality (of dynamism). It should have the potential to adapt.
Don't get fixated an treating your plans like recipes. You can try going off route and come back to it.
Don't confuse excursions for a journey. Excursions are short picnics, while journeys are travels to places that can be more important or longer.
In an excursion we enjoy the place and the moments, In a journey we have a destination we have to reach and be there for a while.
Similarly, when we are working our plans and we go off route. Treat them like small experiments and mental picnics. Don't treat them like the end of a story.
Just continue writing the next paragraph (of Life) and add to the story. The journey should continue even with the small distractions.
Lastly, you succeeded and achieved what you wanted. Congrats! Great job, set another goal. You are alive and you have the potential achieve more.
If not for yourself, then for others. You didn't succeed not bad, You succeeded 95%.
Yes, you didn't win the coveted crown or prize. But you reached far enough, a lot of people have not reached as far as you have.
Leverage your experience creatively, use the project and experience elsewhere.
There have been a lot of success stories that have started like this. Transforming their failures to successes.
So Let me end with another story,
There is this interesting set of stories of super successful people who had to bear a healthy dose of failure before making it to the top.
Check the article here(Entrepreneur.com)! I would like to highlight the story of Arianna Huffington.
She was rejected many times before succeeding and building up the Huffington Post.
Our rejections and failures are feedback, how you use it is your choice.
In Conclusion
You are starting out a New project or working on one or even succeeded at one or many. I think it is a valuable thing to fail or succeed and to work on what something you value as important.
Here at this Blog, I share personal insights, they are not magical 5 lists. But they surely highlight the ways in which I believe Self help and simple ideas can be transformative.
One thing is common in most, The pursuit to enjoy a better life. The definitions will surely differ.
