Why does giving joy to others make us happy?

 


Whenever we do anything that connects us with our inner being, we feel fulfilled. This inner fulfilment is what gives us true joy and peace.



When we do anything to help someone, we intend to make them comfortable and add joy to their lives. Good intention is a great driving force in life. The goodness we hold in our hearts always comes back to us in bigger and better ways. 


Always try to add joy to other people's life. You will find even more reasons to smile.

Does the onus of our success belong to some other people too?

 



Success is never achieved alone. There are always people behind us who help us to get where we want.

Sometimes, when people achieve success, they feel so powerful that they find everyone else too small. They don't acknowledge that what's making them feel powerful is not their success but the power of the people who had supported them. This power stays only when we acknowledge their guidance, wishes and presence in our lives.

Acknowledge and appreciate those who have helped you in your life. You will create success that will last. 


What do you do when your plan falls through?

 


Planning is a great way to foresight and manage the ups and downs that you may face . However cautious and thorough planning it may be, plans do fail at times.



When a plan fails, most people are unable to accept it. This is because most plans are designed to be fixed, allowing little or no room for changes or adjustment. When things take an unexpected turn, people feel they lack the capability to handle them. 


Whether your plan is big or small or at the starting stage or near to completion, if ever it fails, don't lose heart. Calm your mind, reassess it and think of new ways to go about it.

Are you making productive use of your time?


Time is precious because it can create and build the life of our dream. When we misuse our time, we lessen our chances of succeeding.

The way we spend our time greatly influences our lives. When we spend our time in unproductive activities such as daydreaming, aimlessly surfing the internet, gossiping, oversleeping and overthinking, we lose time and dull our minds. End of the day, when nothing gets done, we feel disappointed and stressed, which further demotivates us.

Value your time. Start your day with a positive mind, a day plan, and little goals. Strive to achieve as much as possible in your day. End of the day, appreciate yourself for your effort and analyse so you can make even more efficient use of your time.

Sometimes, rejection is the way that takes us to a better place, to someone who can appreciate our worth.

 



Rejection in any aspect of life, personal or professional, can be very disappointing. We feel hurt and may even see it as an end to everything. As we cannot see how things may turn out in the future, we feel we have lost the opportunity to succeed or the person we wanted to be with.

If someone rejects you, however disappointing it may be, don’t make it a reason to hold yourself back, find fault in yourself or feel incapable. Allow time to accept it, analyse if you could have done things any better, and bring changes that may help you improve. As life goes on and you meet someone who finds worth in you and opportunities that bring out the best in you, you will look back and realise that rejection was nothing but a new pathway for you.

Have you explored yourself enough?

 


We all are very capable of achieving even hard-to-reach dreams, but most of us are unaware of our true capabilities.

Our true potential is hidden because we usually don’t live to our full capacity. When we confront a situation that challenges us to the core, we only realise that unknown strength within us. We feel we are a new person with exceptional tolerance and courage.

Do not underestimate yourself. You are very capable; you just need to trust yourself, try things, and be fearless.
