24 Lessons I Have Learnt From Life
The tragedy of life is not death but what we let die inside of us while we live
1. Discover your True calling:
I believe we all have some special talents that are just waiting to be engaged in a worthy pursuit. We need to find out which thing we like the most and if we work on that how much satisfaction and happiness will we get. By working on those things which you love, you will never feel tired. Focus on the things you do best and it means you have to stop waiting for other people to make changes you desire.
Be the change that you wish to see most in your world. And once you do your life will change.
2. Keep a Journal:
Keeping a journal offers you the opportunity to have a one-to-one conversation with yourself on a regular basis. It will help you keep o track as we all know not all days are the same. Few days are super productive, few are dull but at least by maintaining a journal you will not slack off that much because you will be knowing how much is yet to do. So in that way, you will be very much disciplined.
3. Schedule worry Breaks:
If we are facing a difficulty, it is easy to spend all our working hours focusing on it. Instead, you can schedule fix time to worry. Say 30 minutes every evening. During this session, you may wallow all your problems and brood over your difficulties. But after this period you must train your mind to leave out all this worry and do something more productive like go for a walk in nature, read an inspirational book, complete your long pending walk, or talk to an old friend. So in this way, you can be more productive.
4. Learn to be Silent:
All of the great wisdom traditions of the world have arrived at the same conclusion: to reconnect with who you really are as a person and to come to know the glory that rests within you, you must find the time to be silent on a regular basis. Sure, you are busy but you have to manage some time to enjoy the power of solitude to restore, refocus and revitalize your mind, body, and spirit.
5. Laugh More:
As we grew up we often forget to laugh. Too much pressure in work, crises in life, daily unwanted chores like loans, EMI, or exams if you are a student.So many things to take care of and perform. In all this, we often forget our inner selves and who we truly are.
But if we do all our work with a big smile it will relax our mind. You will feel so calm inside. Even if in a worrying situation just take a deep breath and smile, you will overcome that situation at ease. So smile, fake it if you don’t feel like smiling. Eventually, you will adopt this habit of smiling in every situation.
6. Do yoga/Exercise:
Yoga is the best to connect your body with your mind. It’s just so rejuvenating. Every day at least 30 minutes or 1 hour. You can go to a gym or go for a walk in the morning or afternoon. That is also good. Trust me you will see a difference if you start doing it daily.
7. Always carry a book with you:
One of the simplest yet smartest ways of time management strategies you can follow is to carry a book everywhere you go. while others waiting in line are complaining you will be growing and feeding your mind a rich diet of ideas found in a great book.
8. Master your time:
Commit yourself to managing your time more effectively. Develop a keen sense of awarness about how important your time really is. Don’t let people waste this most precious of commodities and invest it only in those activities that truly count.
9. Keep your cool:
No matter how bad the situation, deal with it calmly. Keeping your cool in a moment of crisis can save you years of pain and anguish. Hurtful words unleashed in a single minute of anger have led to many a broken friendship. Words are like arrows, once released, they are impossible to retrieve. So choose yours with care.
10. Connect with nature:
When you spend time with nature, you truly feel connected to the universe. Observer your surroundings deeply. Go to a beach, take off your shoes, and sit a while quietly and watch the sunset and admire how beautiful it is the creation of the world. Or go to any nearby park, and feel the grass under your feet. take a deep breath and feel the essence of solidarity.
11. Drink Fresh Fruit Juice:
Start your day healthy, you will be energized the entire day. Eating the wrong foods in large quantities, will reduce your energy level, affect your health and prevent your mind from serving you to its fullest capacity. So having fruit juice in the morning is the best diet you can have to start your day with the fullest energy.
12. Walk in the woods:
You will never go wrong by spending time enjoying nature. Every step of this will make you feel lighter, a deep sense of inner quiet will flood your entire body and your creativity will flourish.
13. Listen to Music:
Listen to music or podcast or story during your commute time. Rather than wasting your commute time daily, you can actually make full use of it. By listening to good podcasts according to your area of interest you can gain valuable knowledge.
14. Learn to Meditate:
Meditation is the medicine for many odds in our life. Meditation is a method to train your mind to function the way it was designed to function. And here’s the key benefit: the peace and tranquility you will feel after 20 minutes of daily meditation will infuse every remaining minute of your day.
15. Take a mini vacation:
As you should need to take a 5-minute break every 1/2 hour same like you should go for a mini vacation sometimes to clear your mind and thoughts. It’s worth going with some good companion or solo whatever it is but definitely it will blow your mind.
16. Be unorthodox:
Always be unorthodox, to yes to new learnings ad adoption. Unless you unlearn some old norms and know, you can’t adjust yourself to the new.
17. Carry a goal card:
It will remind you who you truly are and what should be your focus. It will help you to explore the best in you and achieve the goal that you have set for yourself.
18. Be Humble:
There is absolutely no alternative to staying humble. No matter how much successful you are or rich or talented you should always be down to earth and be humble to everyone.
19. Collect quotes that Inspire You:
Start your own collection of quotations, words that you keep referring to when you need some instant inspiration or advice about how to deal with those curves life sometimes sends our way.
20. Plan a Tree:
While there are clearly any more elements of a happy and complete life, the idea of planting a tree is an excellent one. Watching a tree grow from a sapling into a tall oak will keep you connected with the daily passage of time and the cycles of nature. Just as the tree grows and matures, so too will you be able to mark your personal passage and growth as a human being.
21. Be an Adventurer:
Say yes to every new adventure. Vow to restore the spirit of adventure that you once knew as a child. Make a list of 12 pursuits you know would bring a greater sense of passion and energy to your normally mundane routine and tackle one of them every month for the next year.
22. Take more pictures:
Always clicked pictures at every chance you get. Because you will never know when it would be 10 years down the line and you will look at it and smile. Memories are always special, some are good or bad but it’s special.
23. Have a Family Mealtime:
It’s not just a mealtime. It’s more likely how are you spending your time with your family. We all are too busy in our daily routines that we often forget to take care of our loved ones and make time for them. So this mealtime, you actually discuss anything you want and have an intimate conversation.
24. Focus on worthy:
Neither all people need your attention not all things. There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. The person who tries to do everything ultimately achieves nothing. Better you focus on only those things that need your worth attention.
