Can restoring our minds prevent us from giving up?

 

When we are on the verge of giving up, we have probably tried enough and feel too tired to continue.

Sometimes to achieve something, we may have to put in continuous effort. When the results take too long, we become disheartened and feel it will never happen. It is not that we can't do it; it is because we feel fatigued in that particular moment of life.

Rest and involve your mind in something you enjoy to avoid mental fatigue. Involve in creative activities, socialise, connect with nature and meditate; it will restore your strength and make you feel like continuing again.

How can we make any partnership work?

A partnership may be easy to begin with, but maintaining it requires understanding, cooperation, adjustment and acceptance of each other's ideas.

Whether a personal or a business partnership, a new venture always seems exciting. We want to make things happen, so we agree on each other's views, whether we internally approve of them or not. Once things get started, the same views turn into differences, and the same venture doesn't seem exciting anymore.

To create a stable partnership, ideas and opinions must be presented clearly and an agreement drawn on how to address potential issues that may arise. Even with the greatest caution, unseen differences may crop up and must be dealt with with maturity and understanding.

Is your dream worth the chase?

Is your dream worth the chase?

Our dreams are our thoughts about progressing in life. We want to accomplish our dreams because we feel they can bring a positive change in our life.

Sometimes we have an idea or concept in mind that may help us achieve our dreams, but we feel our dream is too big. So instead of actualising it, we keep it to ourselves. The longer we take to put effort, the more difficult it appears and eventually, it never happens.

If you dream of something, give it a try. It may not always result in what you want, but you will still get closer than if you didn't try.

Why should we never be disappointed with a lack of growth in life?

Growth is always happening, most of the time in slow and subtle ways, so it is not always visible to us.

Most of us see the final outcome as growth. Accomplishing our goals, bringing them to the top and reaping the fruits of our effort is considered growth. Although achieving the growth one has imagined can be very satisfying, one must remember that a seed doesn’t suddenly turn into a tree.

Appreciate the skills, knowledge and wisdom you have gained and the connections you have made. You will realise you never stop growing.

Good to celebrate yourself

If it is your birthday, a special event or a festival, you need to mark the day with celebrations.

We often miss out on celebrations because we feel life is not going as we want. We wait for things to improve and situations to change, losing time and the moment that will never return.

Celebrate the special day and start afresh. Sometimes this is what is needed to put an end to your sorrows.

Wishing all the celebrants the very best

How can self-analysis improve our lives?

How can self-analysis improve our lives?

Self-analysis means that we analyse ourselves with the intention to learn and improve. When we make it our daily habit, we bring a positive change into our daily lives.

One of the qualities of successful people is that they believe in continuous self-improvement. They analyse their day, learn from their daily experience, acknowledge their shortcomings and think of ways to address them. By learning and improving, they prevent those situations from happening again that absorb their time and energy.

At the end of the day, spend a few minutes reflecting on your day, appreciating yourself and bringing changes that can help you improve.
