It’s My Way of Life!

Lately, I have been a little worked up! Loaded with assignments & projects, deadline pressures and literally sandwiched between the responsibilities of family and friends. Difficult to manage things, I have been a li’l disturbed off late. Sometimes, I think it’s better to talk it out or take out the frustration. While at times, I think keeping calm and ignoring things is a better option. However, I have learned that both the options lead to more stress and more problems.

Somehow I realised that more or less, everyone including our parents, colleagues and friends, are sailing in the same boat of emotional and social mayhem.

Learning from these even & odds, here is a list of 7even realisations for a peaceful and contended life:

1. No Wrong Way in Life

There are infinite angles to click a perfect picture, thousands of ways to paint a beautiful painting, hundred routes to reach the mountain peak and numerous such ways to lead a happy life. No way is right or wrong! It is your way of getting things done.

Don’t enforce ‘your ways’ on others but guide them through your way. Let them commit mistakes, fall, explore and learn on their own.

2. 'Know' it or ‘No’ it

Behaviour and habits are a result of a person’s past experiences. It is said that one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Likewise, one shouldn’t be judgemental about a person by his behaviour, language, habits or actions.

Try to know the person thoroughly or else choose not to comment on it at all!

3. The ‘Unique’ Syndrome

 We all think ‘I’m not like others, I’m different and I’m Unique!’  Well, it’s a great way towards self motivation.  But you have to remember that understanding and helping others is the simplest key to happiness. Besides, blowing your own trumpet may put you down in future!

4. Talking Doesn’t Help Always

People believe that while in a problematic situation, talking things out will sort things out. I am afraid this doesn’t work always. One has to cool down, think again and choose the right words to not make things worse. 

Remember, words once spoken cannot be taken back and heart once hurt cannot be fixed like before...

5. Its not always YOU

Always compare yourself to the problems of people below you and compare your success to the people above you! Put yourself in the shoes of others but never copy their path of success or virtue of grief. Learn by heart, not to ask ’why always me?’

6. Let Go… To Receive

If at work or at home or in college, people don’t take responsibilities, then counsel them twice or thrice to do so. If there is no difference in them, just let go, without being angry or upset about it. Instead, just take the responsibility yourself. You will receive more respect and praises. Also, others will learn from you with time!

7. Love. Smile. Care

Love+ Smile + Care= Happiness

A perfect formula to stay happy all life...Expect less and surprise others more! A perfect blend of these can solve bitter problems with a good note!

Life is continuous a cycle of troughs, expansion, peak and recession like any business venture. All you have to do is to change the strategies according the current situation.

How have you been dealing with such situations?
