Tips To Make Your Life More Joyful, Successful And Fruitful.
Life
is a beautiful when you understand yourself and the world. You can
discover life all by yourself after spending a lifetime or by learning
from those who have seen the life from close distance and learned the
rules of the game after much pain and deliberation.
Here are a few tips to make your life more joyful, successful and fruitful.
1: Compete with Yourself
We
are trained to compete with others and become better than them in all
fields of life. We are thus frustrated throughout our lives because
there is always someone better than us in every aspect of our life.
Instead, learn to compete only with yourself by making yourself better
than what you had ever been in the past. When you better yourself every
day, you become the best someday.
2: Lead a Balanced Life
We
try to achieve the best of something we love and desire, and in the
process we lose so many things of life. People lose health for making
wealth, and then lose wealth to get back health. People lose family life
due to their pursuit of success and then they are left with nothing
when they fail professionally. You must try to balance all your
priorities of life just as you take balanced diet for your healthy body.
3: Be Faithful
Grass
is always greener from the other side of the land. We are always
attracted towards something which we don’t have, while not appreciating
the value of that which we have. We don’t understand the power of trust
and faith, unless we lose it. Don’t be unfaithful to your spouse or
profession because you can never get the trust back, once you lose it.
4: You Reap What You Sow
The
good ends can never be achieved by evil means. You reap what you have
sown. The laws of karma are immutable and eternal. However, there is a
time-gap between when you sow and when you reap. When you do evil things
and not punished immediately, you feel that you have fooled the world.
Don’t be surprised when you have to suffer for it much later and then
you ask ‘why me?’ Instead do good things and soon you will reap all good
fruits.
5: World Gives You Back
The
world gives back to you what you gave to it. Never give to the world
what you don’t want for you. You don’t get the return from the same
person whom you give because the world is like an organism where
everyone is connected with each other. The way you treat one person,
other people treat you in the same way. Don’t be rude to others, else
you will find other people rude to you. If you hate the world, the world
will hate you back. Why not give love to the world to get love back?
Why not help the world to be helped back in return?
6: Money is Not Everything
If
you feel that you will be happy once you have lots of money, you will
be unhappy till the last day of your life. Money is like food. You can’t
live without food, but you consume it in excess, instead of making you
healthy, it becomes the source of all types of diseases. Don’t be a
slave of money. You don’t live to eat, but eat only to live. Find the
higher purpose to live life and money just a means to achieve that
greater purpose of life.
7: Acquire Self-Knowledge
All
the knowledge of the world is useless you have known yourself. You are
a unique person in the world. No person had ever been born like you,
nor will any be born in future. You can’t know yourself reading all the
books of the world. You better understand yourself by knowing what you
like and dislike, what you love and hate, what you wish to become in
life and so on. Only when you will know yourself, you can ever hope to
be happy and successful in your life.
8: Respect Traditions
People
often feel that traditions have no meaning in the modern world. Just
because you can’t know the purpose of the tradition, it does not become
purposeless. Traditions connect the people of different shades and give
continuity in our lives. Traditions connect the present with the past
and the future. We develop shared values with each other only due to
traditions. But for these shared values, life would be chaotic and
painful.
9: Be the Change
We
as well as our world are in the constant state of flux. All living
things are changing and hence it is unwise to stick to anything in life
or refusing to change with time. Even traditions are undergoing slow
changes. Instead of resisting the change, become an agent of change.
Welcome the change and then you will never be concerned about the
future, as you are always prepared for it.
10: Mind you Company
It
is wisely said that a man is known by the company he keeps. We are
influenced by the people who are close to us. It is important to avoid
the company of negative, pessimist and unhappy people and chose the
company of people who are positive, optimistic and happy. We give to
others what we have and other lack. When we spend time with negative
people, we are drained of our positive energies and subsumed by their
negativity.
11: Practise the Tips
All
knowledge means nothing unless you start using it in your own life. All
the tips of the world can’t make you a better person, unless you start
following these tips in your own life. When you follow a new piece of
knowledge, you become a new person. You are transformed because you see a
different world by following a new path of life. Your life becomes
richer, happier and fuller when you experiment with life and try
different things. If something does not work for you, you can always
discard it for another thing till you find something that work for you.
