Why should you never feel disappointed with yourself?

 

Having strong self-esteem is essential to overcome any challenge in life. When the mind becomes doubtful about its abilities, it easily loses hope and gives up on itself.

Sometimes, when we are unable to achieve what we want, we feel incapable. If people around us are unsupportive and bring up our weaknesses, it can further create self-doubt in us; we may feel unworthy and just end up giving up on ourselves.

Believe you can do it, accept your weakness but look into ways to improve yourself. As long as you have your own support and you work on making yourself better, you can make anything possible.

How do you deal with mental fatigue?

 

An effort is needed to achieve anything in life, but when our effort doesn’t seem to yield the results we want, we feel more tired than we actually are.

When the mind is tired, it loses its capacity to think, plan and perform. To replenish our minds, we need to allow a period of rest. Rest doesn't cause delay; rather improves our ability, so we can do things efficiently.

Allow yourself to rest. For some time, take your mind away from what you want, involve yourself in activities you enjoy, and surround yourself with positive people. After you rest, begin with a fresh mind and think that you have just started; your enthusiasm and motivation will also return.

Do you share your spark with others?

 

Sharing your spark means sharing your inner light and energy to give hope and brighten someone’s life.

Sometimes, people lose hope in life and are engulfed by the darkness. They don’t see any worth in their life, and life becomes a burden for them. All they need at this time is a little encouragement, hope and motivation that there is much more to life than they can see.

If you see someone experiencing the dark, help them out. You will find that every time you help someone, you become even closer to your inner light.

Worthy to be celebrated

 

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.

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.

Are you getting impressed or inspired?

 

With the rise in the number of people who are able to influence our lives, we mustn't make their lives a reason to feel unaccomplished.

Before the advent of social media, we were inspired by those around us or great accomplished people who worked hard to achieve their goals. With social media, everyone has got the ability to influence our minds. If someone is showing off their life, trying to impress you, they usually have other goals than to inspire you.

Don't feel inadequate by looking at the lives they portray. Make the right judgement. If someone truly wants to make a difference, they will try ways to help you find your strength, not the ways to impress you.
