- Work is worship. All of us have some talents and inclinations. If we get to work in a chosen domain, we love it despite the challenges. That’s why you see a lot of athletes are happy even if they need to train for years. They chose that life.
Do not do work that you hate. Work should make you feel happy and fulfilled. If you are caught up in the wrong kind of work, make every effort possible to change your line of work. Do not accept the ‘common saying’ that work is meant to be boring and hard. What’s hard for someone else might be easy for you. What’s boring for someone else would be super interesting for you.
- Sometimes, things you love do not make you money in short term. It’s fine. They can be pursued as hobbies in your free time. Don’t give up on them just because they have no financial value. Your soul is nourished by things and people you love.
Increase your income and decrease your burn. Then you won’t need to work just for the sake of basic necessities.
- Mind is a sponge. If you feed it bad thoughts and negative suggestions, it’ll lead to bad outcomes. Feed it good thoughts, watch positive things, be around positive people and it will make your life a heaven. You want your mind to work for you instead of against you.
- Every day you breathe is a blessing. It’s a chance to perform your duties. Your immediate duty is to yourself to be happy, contented and mindful. Then you’ve a duty to your family to provide for them and become useful to them. Then you’ve a duty to the world. There are so many things you can do make the world better. Help someone. Stand up for things you believe in. Give to the less fortunate. Serve others. Living for oneself is good but doesn’t provide any satisfaction.
- If you’ve a burning desire for something, try to do it. If you want to visit a specific city/country, do it. If you want to propose someone, do it. If you want to open a food truck, do it. Not trying defeats your mind and makes you weak. Trying makes you strong.
Be comfortable with who you are and still try to be more and do more. Don’t diss on yourself. Be rooted in your reality and aim for stars. Both these things can be done at the same time.
