The 'Flash' that this Year has been!
Hello there! I'm back after a fortnight and I had been MIA since my examinations were going on. Well, not that I didn't have the time to write, it's just I wasn't in the zone to write and I thought even if I did, it wouldn't be my 100 %. Besides, getting back to blogging after fortnight proved to be a little breather!
So, can you'll imagine its actually the Second Week of November 2017, which means there are only 7 Weeks to 2018 which means there are only 50 days to 2018 - it all just happened, in a flash!
Whilst I was going through the things that has happened in 2017, I realized that there are quite a few lessons that I have learnt through-out this year, which I would really look forward to sharing with you'll, the mighty audience that I have for my blog. The reason I'm sharing these learnings / experiences is because, sometimes, we don't understand the humongous impact that the little-est of our thoughts and actions have on your goals / visions. This year has been a year full of ups and downs, as usual, but all's well that end's well, isn't it?
1) Stop putting a time-line to your wishes:
Perhaps the biggest ever mistake that I made this entire year, until a 2-3 weeks back was to wish for things or probably visualize them, with a time-line attached to it. For instance: I wish to get a call from this firm by the end of this week. You see what I did here? I put a time-line of a week, and it was all because I was looking for instant gratification rather than being calm and patient for actually letting things naturally fall into place. Its an extremely healthy habit to visualize your goals, but please do it without any time frame attached to it, you're simply blocking the 'abundance' that you may be deserving when you just wish for a particular thing at a particular time.
2) Don't expect anything - not even appreciation, if not anything else:
It's simple, you do something for someone because that person thinks good about you and thinks of good things for you. If you're doing it so that you can expect the same in return, it's an ugly way to force things and negative thoughts on yourself and hamper the relations you have with people. Do good and move on, it will come back to you in a much much better way that you even thought of.
3) You have to be a bit selfish at times:
We are in the RAT Era (Race Against Time) and as much as helping others is a kind act, there are certain times where you have to put yourself above everyone else. It's like that Plane-Crash Survival thing: "Before helping others with an oxygen mask, help yourself first". Keeping yourself above all is important for your mental peace and it definitely doesn't make you a narcissist because I'm sure that whatever you do for yourself isn't harming people around, that's like a pre-requisite to be the good person.
5) Right Time, Right People:
Communicating with the right time and right people can take you places. The Social Media is at your feet, use it in the most wise and appropriate manner to make the most of it. Use networking as a tool to communicate with people who will take you a step further to your goals or any of your personal developments. Remember - It's the RAT Era!
6) Pray, Don't Beg:
Praying means you're putting faith into the timing that the Universe / God has for you, begging is form of desperation. It just takes you away from what you really are capable of. Again, something that goes on the lines of not putting a time-line to your wishes and losing faith and patience when things don't go as you have planned. Patience, I swear, is a mighty quality to have and to maintain.
7) College is coming to an end, there is nothing more worse than that:
I'm going to cry over this fact. When 2017 began, I was pretty cool, pretty okay about the fact that okay, I'm going to be an 'adult' now, now LIFE is going to happen, the one that Monica tells Rachel in the first season of F.R.I.E.N.D.S.! But nevertheless, I wish the best for all of us to take that phase as gracefully as we can and make the most of it even then.
8) Put your young, hot blood to good use:
What I mean by this sentence is, multi-task while you're still young. Explore myriad things that happen around, you never know you might want to take that up in your mid-life once you're done with all your family responsibilities. Work on multiple things as much as you can, and do all this with only one aim in mind: "I'm doing this to enjoy and understand my full potentials." It will work wonders for your personal development. If you're having a job, paint or take lectures in the weekend, you know, something like that!
9) Everything has a timing:
Destiny is a weird philosophy / fact or whatever you may want to call it. But one thing is for sure, it is true and it is present. It's going to happen no matter what and if it isn't going to happen, it never will, hence there's no point stressing over figuring everything out. Its okay to not have a plan, its okay to not get what you want, because, as hard as it is to believe and have faith, everything does a timing on which you and I have no control - AT ALL!
