“Re-set, re-adjust,
re-start, re-focus…As
many times as you
need to”
As I was going through my old file to take out my
degree certificates, I found some of the poems that I had written when I was
young. While most of the poems were my personal emotions, I realized how naïve
and immature I was. That was how I felt about my life at that time.
I had come a long way in terms of maturity. Acceptance
was not part of my life. Probably I was not guided by anyone, who sat and spoke
to me in a way I understood.
Many of our miseries are often self- inflicted, because we are not willing to change our stance. If we are willing to change our ways, life will be so much more peaceful.
The greatest benefit that I have experienced in my life was my decision to change my perspective.
The willingness to accept people the way they are and the maturity to see situations as either areas of concern or areas of influence. At times, when I could not influence the consequences, I just waited in faith for a favourable outcome, without becoming emotional.
Emotional equanimity is something I have gifted myself.
I must say that my spiritual journey has attributed to this transformation. It has taught me to look within, to work on my flaws, to watch my actions, to hold myself back when required, to push myself when there is a need, to alter my views, to leave small things small, to be in sync with the bigger picture, to review, to reboot, to realign, to recharge, to renew, to let go and not to hold on.
I must confess that when you are ready to realign, the universe favours you. Everything that looked threatening, insurmountable, challenging, simply fizzled out and I did not lose my peace over it.
By getting worked up and upset for small issues, we lose our peace, our relationships, our happiness….
If something is not working for you, learn to let go.
“Edit
your life
Frequently and
Ruthlessly
It’s
your masterpiece
After
all.”
To make our desires come true we need to first fix a
goal. That is the first step. Then we need to create a road map to achieve our
goal.
Don’t get disheartened if it doesn’t work. There are many ways to achieve the same goal. Try another way- Re-start
To get more marks, find a way that works for you. For each person it is different. What works for you may not work for another person. The methodology varies. What is important is, are we willing to let go of our old ways and renew our priorities.
Some people try losing weight and get frustrated when the weighing machine does not bring a smile on their face. Maybe they are yet to identify what works for them. Each body is different- Re-focus
Whether it is your studies, your professional life, your health or your personal growth, are you willing to readjust, renew, reset your mindset, your goals or your priorities? Nothing will work in our favour otherwise.
Failure only means this method does not work. It does not mean it is impossible- Re-set your strategy.
Don’t hold on to your old ways. Change is inevitable. Growth is achieved only if you are willing to change. Derive joy in finding new ways to accelerate your growth, renew relationships, readjust your lifestyle, refocus on your goals, restart your profession, recharge your mind, review your performance and realign to the universe.
