BECOMING THE BALANCED HUMAN

            When I say BALANCED, I am referring to a long term individual, who is a complete human, and I quote it refers to years of hard work, be it anything, life, work, family and commitment to society, but I am here to refer the most widely known, reference known as the power of compounding for life, and focusing on long term value and not settling for the short term. There are many risks involved but the ultimate is to sail through the ocean and bring about freedom in life and wealth.

Power of compounding is essentially an act of 'adding interest on interest,' i.e. the amount of time you invest will generate value from both the initial time spent and the awareness and guidance it holds Eventually, thus, power of compounding helps grow your wealth and also attain virtue of freedom over time

We have all had this stage, where we have had our mentors carrying down consistently that apart from studies, you got to focus on the other extracurricular be it sports, or other activities and many days, the usual saying goes, to improve your language you got to read your daily newspaper, as we go forward in life, we move out of our higher education and get enrolled for the next level of education where many decide one thing be it the course the family wants, or be it the studies the individual wants to do something, and gets the freedom to go through a wide range of material throughout his basic graduation in college.

All through life, we understand that we read and become and go through an enormous process of advancement be it the phone we use, or the material we use for learning and development. All this holds a greater value to us, when we think about and take our first Job, the dreams, of finally independence and start to live life the way we want, but fortunately or unfortunately, majority instances it doesn’t end up like this.

At this hour of time, like all I would like to tell you the values that you can imbibe be it school be it college, be it college or be it the place we begin our career and earn for living, in all this we realized that the art of pleasing is a top priority and we lose quite a lot of time, with it, but rather if we focus on what matters our priority! Like the one thing! That matters referred by Jay Keller we tend to shift our focus and a whole new development transforms our living.

We understand and by the time, we decide to do something, the others aspects of life begins and we lose the race. Understanding the power of oneself, there is a lot of things, which can be transformed to doing what’s priority to becoming independent and free in all forms of life.

Today’s generation amidst pandemic, is a complete shift of the transform of life from one level to an different experience which many are still looking to understand, I believe, that we still looks for the would’a should’a but rather the mindset needs to be like I did is the ultimate task that matters to all of us.

The power of compounding I referred to will not bring a drastic change, if we are to settle in life for the smaller things, but rather if we look at the long term perspective, then all this matters, the same example of reading news paper, can help you to improve and improvise your language but also helped you to get a job.

Investing the minimum and saving for the long term, must the focusing aspect of every individual to attain financial freedom, a lot of people speak about the investing but I suggest why not take it up to understand the financial vocabulary, like how the word is pronounced why not look up to learn the basic of finance world, that can help to bring a clarity in what we invest for the long term.

                Always gently remind our self, the single actions does matter most in life and that we need to accept the reality with patience be it investing or be it the house we buy, all holds value but do we wait to see it? Is question I leave with you for thoughts!

STOP SEARCHING YOUR PASSION

In my workplace, we always had this opportunity to express our thoughts and ideas and whatever we feel matters most to us, similar to a platform, like TED, where you will be asked to choose your topic of interest and to share your thoughts and ideas, and I chose the topic on Stop Searching Your Passion, which created a interest and buzz on everyone.

I would like to ask you a few questions? Basic definition for a Passion and what according to you is Passion.

And everyone started replying that, they had something to do in common or something that keeps them going, and something that pushes them to do better.

So what it does mean to go a little deeper in understanding, we may find so many different aspects of life, many hobbies that were born along with us and we leave them aside till today.

Passion comes from a various forefront and its enables us personally to do better in what we wanted to tell our community around. Passion comes on various aspects, and I will be sharing to you on the basic two aspects which I find quite important for today.

How Culture Impacts the Passion we hold and how our Peers are involved in our passion!

Culture to a greater extent has impacted our passion of recent days, especially with individuals moving down  especially with most of our teenagers after college desperately looking to go into a regular paid job, which only curtails to a conclusion, that passion’s are for temporary and for the long term commitment , it’s a failure.

It reminded me of a friend of mine, whose passion is on trekking and travel adventure, but due to his family and personal commitments, had to leave away his passion beside and to concentrate on a regular 9 to 5 paid job, which still is a struggle, due to many commitments that he holds to himself. We call it life of 21^st century, where any individual who has money saved, but still he feels poor, amidst rapid economic and money and the rise in prices.

So where does passion stand here, where we need to raise a question to ourselves, to understand, what is needed and required to understand!

We are in the epitome of our society where our relevance is questioned, and it is we, who have destined it as we have found it.

This goes to the existence on the most important part, where on how our peers influence passion, where any individual , whose identity stands apart is determined by the team , he works along and influences by.

It is here, one needs to understand what it takes to understand how your in the team , despite all odds, we need to understand, where we stand in a world where there is no mutual growth and what needs to change right now, in this society of inequality, we need to realize what it takes to be part of a great team, inturn seeing the results ,not only seeing in our passion to grow and also seeing here where we understand we grow in a mutual state of life.

Finally I would like to reinstate to understand how does failure help you to reorganize your passion? We may have our passions, but when failure bows down, we tend to realize we stop, at most instances and it’s the end.

Thus Passion becomes an art and life’s need to be lived as a lesson forever.

Life lived on earth is once, let our life be praised for generations.
