I wish I cared less: The Art of letting life be

-
Image
   When I was in school, I feared public speaking to death because I was not well versed in English. Most of the time I didn't get a chance to speak because our class was so large. But when nothing else worked out, I had to speak. Things often got worse. I worried like hell. I could not focus on other things for the time being. Along with this, another matter of concern was “my image”. If I fumbled or couldn't speak well, how would I face my teachers and classmates? Now I wonder, what a stupid person I was? How under confident I was? I worried about the things that are just a cakewalk for most of you and for me now.  What if I had been a little more confident? How much stress could I have avoided in my childhood?  Now I understand that it was all in my imagination ... .Instead of worrying, I could have focused on improving my English speaking. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and speak the way I do today? But, I know I can't. As the time and that platform a...

Things That Actually Makes You Rich In Life

-

 


The common parameter of the richness in our lives is money. We all value money more than anything in our life. We are not wrong either… This is what we learn from our parents, from our society and from the world. 

In our consciousness one thing we all realize is that “Money is the Master”. Without it we are nothing, we neither have respect nor have recognition in the society. Money defines us, money makes our identity. 

That is all… . 

Then what about the wealth beyond money? What about the things that actually makes you rich? Which is considered to be real wealth not only by the ultra rich but also by the great sages and scholars of all time. 

For some the concept of “real wealth” comes after the peak of success, after the peak of wealth and after the peak of attaining worldly things. While for others.. This is the way of living. This is the way of valuing small things in life. This is what… make them richer in  their lives. 

What are the things that actually make you rich in life? 

1.Peaceful home

A house is not a home. A home is what that is made of love and care, not a house that is made of bricks and cement. A home where your days end. A home where your morning begins. 

Home is not a shelter for your body, but a shelter of your soul. And the peace of it, makes you one of the richest people in the world. Because not everyone can afford to have a peaceful home. 

2.Family to rely upon

Our families are our backbones. Our families are our breathing space. Where we can be all by ourselves. Where we don't need to pretend to be perfect. Where nobody judges you for being yourself. 
Where your parents are there to love you. Where your siblings are there to teach you and tease you. Where your cousins are there to fight with you but at the same time ready to be your crime partners. 
Family is wholesome. Family makes us truly rich in life beyond monetary success. 

Family is our cage, where we hides when life's disasters hit us hard. 

3.Food… that is cooked with love

We all fill our stomachs daily. There is plenty of food. But food that is cooked for us with love is rare. Food that pouring love in ourselves is rare. 
So, those who have food that is cooked with love are having one of the super luxuries of life. 

4.Comfortable bed

5.Good Relationships

Our relations are like the spices that add flavour to our lives. More or less of spices  … can ruin the taste of food. Similarly, over possessiveness or neglect in relationships can ruin the taste of our lives. 
That's why if you have good and healthy relations, then you are truly rich in your life. 

6.Healthy body in one piece

A disease-free and disability free body is truly a blessing. Here, I am not undermining the people with special needs or diseased people. Even they are the one who truly understand the message I truly want to convey. 

And we take it for granted because we don't have the pain of not having it. So, consider yourself grateful and lucky. Because not anyone can have this luxury to be rich in life. 

7.Forever friendships

Our friends are our mirrors. They are our other halves. We live our best time with them. 

Many people become our friends at various points of our lives but only few are there who stay forever. Who no longer feel like a stranger rather becomes our family. 
If you have such friends… then congratulations you are quite rich in life. 

8.Having your Siblings nearby

Having siblings is itself a blessing. But having them nearby is the cherry on the top. Because, then you don't have to wait for their holidays, you don't have to plan to see them. You don't have to think before making a call… . What if they are busy?

Because I have to wait for my brothers to come home. I have to wait to cook something nice for them. I have to wait to see them. 

That's why having siblings nearby … is one of the things in life that makes you actually rich. 

9.Satisfaction with life

Satisfaction with life means being happy with what you have, being happy with what you achieved. Being happy with your struggles, failures and hustles. 

Life is never easy, rather it is a road with big breakers, without road lights, without crossings at crucial points and much more. 

But still you are okay with it… . Then you really have a big heart that values the real luxuries of life. Because not anyone can attain satisfaction in life, despite how much they conquered? 

10.Clean water to drink and clean air to breathe

11.Mental peace

Our mental peace is the cost we pay for being relevant in life. Our mental peace is the cheapest thing to lose in this era of digitalization.
In the hustle bustle of life it is the thing.. that we ignore the most. 

 But still if you are keeping your peace as your first priority then you are actually richer than the majority of the population across the world. 

Because being in the pond of aspirations, success, smart gadgets, information and fast forward technology… if you are still mentally peaceful.. Then you are the real king or queen of disturbed era. Who not only enjoys the luxury of being peaceful.. but also the person with authentic thoughts and taste. 

Key takeaways

After achieving worldly success, fame, and money, people really don't value what they have? And how much do they have?

But, rather, they value who is with them? Who is there to share love and bless them? What is he or she eating with whom? Do they have family to rely upon? Do they have friends to share their life with? In the end nothing matters more than people who love you unconditionally and a place where you can be yourself. 


Note for reader : You know everything, I am just giving words to your thoughts.

Sometimes our journey becomes endless and leaves us nowhere. We just keep running behind our dreams, but couldn't catch them despite how much labor we put in. These are moments when nothing turns out, how we imagine.  Then, we become directionless and unmotivated. Success seems to be distant. We couldn't understand…. Where to go?  What should we do?  Whether it will work or not?  This confusion makes our life further complicated. We couldn't understand what to do next? Here, we need someone to guide us. He or she can provide us a sense of direction in darkness. To overcome this… I am writing this post. I hope it can act as a guide for all of you when nothing works.  Here I am listing some of the hacks that can help you to build yourself in the times of crisis.  1.Acceptance The first and foremost step we can take is nothing but “acceptance”. Accept your destiny. What is happening? Why is this happening? Where will it lead you? Just ignore these questions....

Healing: A Journey From Broken to becoming

Sometimes life becomes hell not because we are working hard, but because we are getting nothing from our hardwork. We are getting nothing from our sacrifices. We often ignore the uncertainty of life, and think “if we work hard, we will achieve everything what we desire”. I also used to think this way and worked tirelessly for years. I want to achieve my dreams at any cost. I hold things tightly.  But, in the end I couldn't make it.  I am sure that many of you also went through the same pain. In those times we couldn't understand the importance of transition from broken to becoming through healing.   I am writing this blog to provide insights from my own journey of transition. So it can help others in their difficult times and they could find their transition worthy than mere a process.                   After healing, One thing I clearly understand is that .... now I no longer want to hold things tightly because I fo...

How to regain happiness in lost world

One thing you might all have noticed: Nowadays people live more in the virtual world than in the real world.   They are more interested in taking a picture of food, trips and uploading it on social media, than enjoying the experience and beauty of it.  They want millions of followers on social media, but not interested in making real life connections.  They want to earn fame, success and wealth. But, nobody focuses on earning happiness and contentment in life. In between all of this we lost our happiness.  This is how the lost world looks like. But why are they living like this?  They see wealth as a source to buy happiness in life. Like you all I also agree to an extent that money is important to survive. As money buys everything. It can give you a luxurious lifestyle, build connections,and sponsor your international trips. There is nothing which can't be done with money.  But, one thing I couldn't understand is that even though today's world is more ...
