Relax !

It’s going to be fine.

Life is short

Read somewhere that it is 4000 weeks. As per the principles of Yoga, usually, any living creature has a limited number of breaths.

You desire to juggle so many aspects of your life. Believe me! Life is short. Firstly, I say let’s come to peace with that.

Experience is more important than the destination

What’s the point in suffering by following your to-do list?

Even if you reach a 1,000 follower mark, and earned 1,000$ from an article on Medium, you suffered all the way along. Reaching such a destination may bring satisfaction for the moment, but I bet you will try to go for the next item and again suffer for it.

Plan to reach the destination by enjoying the journey.

Our wish list is endless. You dream of a million in bank balance, a house, a car, and a happy family. After reaching here, your wish list gets filled with more and more!

People who feel they reaches the peaks of their success have gone into severe depression later in their life. Is it not for being unable to get what they desired?

Where is the end to our desires?

Let’s tame ourselves to relax more, it’s completely okay to let go of some from the wish-list. You won’t become a loser by giving up a few from your list.

Do you know it takes a lot of guts to give up and live with it?

Learn to give up! Learn to let go!

Why should we put a stop to our desires?

If you want to enjoy your life, you should!

Don’t believe me? Try it out yourselves. Keep adding to your wish list and it becomes unlimited and you die un-accomplished or unfulfilled.

Who would like to die with worry in their mind and in bewilderment ! I would like to die with satisfaction and accomplishment.

Luxury is not a must. A simple life can also be a happy life

We were happier 30 years ago without several developments which science has introduced to us.

Many of us were happy 30 years ago without:

  • Internet spoiling our relationships
  • Netflix and others taking our valuable time and cluttering our mind
  • Gaming damaging our eyes, postures, and health
  • Side hustling for more money, which became our primary motive and disturbing our life in many ways we don’t realise

Who knows, maybe fulfilling your desires is not good for you!

It is astonishingly true many times:

  • Your long-desired promotion kicks in, you become a Team Manager and later you suffer unable to manage the team, boss and client
  • Your wish to settle in a developed country, go there and suffer several cultural shocks to realise later your previous life was much better
  • You desired a girl, and God forbid she becomes your wife and you suffer

So, don’t go mad around money, position, career, knowledge, woman, gold, house, property, wealth, luxury or treasure. And, do not become a slave to your emotions.

Stay balanced. It’s okay to give up a few wishes. Life is larger than these wishes. Let it go!

Prepare yourself mate for that ultimate day

Live a life that you will never look back and regret. Travel across time to your future and think once — Will you feel proud of yourself upon looking back at the younger you?

Do not jumble your life stages. Have a balanced life. Make up your priorities and keep checking.

Forget your regrets. Leave your past. Do not worry about the future.

Live for yourself and your loved ones.

Live life to the fullest. Our life is in our hands.

Cheers!
