Our life is a rare gift of nature. It
is a divine blessing. Accept the life as it is. Life is precious as it
gives you opportunity to live and grow as a human being. So live every
moment of your life fully.
Life is beautiful and it
remains beautiful if you understand it and learn to manage it. It
gives you choice of letting things happen or turning the circumstances
favorable by sensible discretion. Organize your life with discipline
and healthy lifestyle. This little investment will fill your life with
happiness.
Learn to live stress free.
Every one’s life has moments of happiness and sadness, good health and
sickness. Take the ups and downs of life in positive spirit. Be alert
to identify risk and take sensible steps to minimize them. Fear of bad
will only make your life miserable and will hinder your enjoyment of
good time. If something happens, face it and again take sensible steps
to minimize damage and early recovery. If you want to enjoy game of
life, do not be scared of losing, just play with true spirit.
Learn to live in present.
Sometimes we waste precious moments of life brooding about past or
worrying about future. The value of past is to learn from it and grow.
Future is nothing but outcome of our present thinking and living.
Present is life. Live the moments of present to best of your ability
and enjoy them. Poorly lived present will soon become bad past.
Whatever happens in life
is not by accident but by combination of some factors. Some of these
are under our control and some are not. Do not create stress for
yourself by worrying about uncontrollable factors but manage
circumstances by bringing about positive change in controllable
factors. For example growing age is not under our control but being
prepared for comfortable old age by healthy living, sensible planning
and adjustment to changing circumstances can make your life smooth and
pleasant.
Good health is very
helpful for a meaningful and happy life. But good health does not come
automatically. It requires understanding of causes of sickness. Neither
getting too much worried about sickness nor being casual about health
is good. One can live healthy life by minimizing sickness causing
factors and improving health promoting factors. Make yoga and
meditation part of your life. Organized life & good lifestyle goes a
long way in giving you good health.
In every person’s life two
aspects play very crucial role. One is family & social relations
and other is vocation / profession. One can create a happy life by
nurturing them in one’s life. Both require good management to help them
grow as a strong support system in life. Human relations require good
communication and mutual acceptance. One should be sensitive to read
the chemistry of relationship and take appropriate measures to avoid
any strain in them. Vocation / profession too require careful selection
and planning to be a strong support. Your profession can help you
financially, socially and can also give you psychological satisfaction.
And what to do in
difficult and ‘not so happy’ circumstances? First of all, prevention is
better than cure. So try to manage life to minimize such state. But if
it still occurs, you can still find a way out. In stressful / anxious
moments, do not try to avoid it and do not imagine dangerous outcome.
This will only increase your anxiety and hinder your ability to find a
solution. Think about the possible solutions. Take professional help.
Be solution oriented in place of being problem oriented. Do not give up
or get disheartened. Have faith and pray. Work on solution with strong
belief. As a long term measure, give your life a meaning, a purpose.
This will motivate you to keep going even in difficult times.
Life need not be a bed of
roses but it can be a pleasant experience even with ups and downs. It
has its certainty with element of uncertainty. By managing life to
avoid major difficulties and by enduring difficult times, one can grow
as a stronger human being, mature and capable. And that is the
completeness of life.
