RESPECTING ONE SELF

 

The other day I was reading through to understand the incident happening around me such as the Hijab and the stand for Neet and world around political tensions across. I was encountering to understand what is this world and where are we heading to?

Which made me encounter another incident at workplace where by the individual considering situations in family and relationships had to struggle with WFH and the new ways of working amidst the volatility of work, it was certainly impacting the growth of work and also the team whereby pushing the team down and severely impacting the rest?

So now this deep dilemma in all these incidents I observed one important thing where is the respect for the individual, amidst the growing tensions across and still Pandemic putting across we see that everything progresses by but the individual making a long walk to freedom.

So considering this I was able to deep dive by talking with various people on and off my work while travelling and returning back to understand how is life treating them, where the common reply was life’s become too complicated, in listening to them further the deep down answer is the complication began because of a small mistake and that grew into more mistakes and whereby losing the individuality be it values or be it financially.

Recent incident that took place too make us understand if for a minute if we realize the value of the individual then a lot of things could have happened differently and we may have reduced a lot of bloodshed and value killing.

So what can an individual do to possibly save his self, based on this experience of interacting with people I put down!

1.       Everyone matters, Practice a bit of Empathy and support even if you don’t know the person in need, offer the best help forward.

2.       Sometimes the best remedy to help one is to mind our own businesses.

3.       Respect the person’s views and offer support to the lever best that you can offer

4.       When decision’s to take place consider the larger forum and do not seek to only see the benefit of a few of people.

5.       Hold accountable be it anyone who disregards the value of individual and brings them down.

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”― Ralph Waldo Emerson.

You can save like this too

In my recent expedition to help a lot of young people to manage finances since we are in the midst of pandemic and a lot of uncertainty i came across on this possibily know encounter known as the savings scheme on dresses, but to my knowledge one can also encourage to save through dresses and also on the household items required.
It started off a simple contribution of monthly 500 inr for a year's time and by the end of the 12 month there is a contribution given the shop and this get accumulated to round about to 6500 INR by which one can comfortably buy for the occassion and also for the house he lives in, we understand that it only takes a few seconds to order online and get it delivered at home comfortably but why not try something like and see some money in pocket at the end of the day, personally on encountering this we get the take back life in its old ways and by buying as one time for atleast for half of the year we tend to save a whole lot of money coz we buy only what is needed and not unnecessary.

few examples
What we now need to understand is that amidst pandemic what we saved as emergency are slowly melting if not done and dusted and the above is just a choice to encounter...

LIFE MATTERS DESPITE GROWTH!

 

I was AWE- stuck by on the recent inventions on how to forget what life and real education is, because of the involvement of web- based education and the power to impact the same to students from the smallest age, OMG! The very first time I even saw a 10 year child creating app, sounds interesting, but after he creates and finishes, there is a much more pressure to be more successful in life and to understand the impacts and growth all in an individual pace.

Amidst the mid of Pandemic, there is something, that we need to understand drastically, a shift, oneself might have observed that there Is slowly fading the value of self, group and life oriented learning, as he/she is more occupied to take up web- based module due to which we understand, that initially we had top 7 companies, who began this education to the present list of 28 and much more, where we can understand that there is more growth to accept the fact that individual paced education Is growing which is good, but there is slowly fading of life oriented education.

I realized that as we grow older due to the impact of modern ways of learning, we are slowly diminishing the best way to express self based learning; a simple formula dates back 50 years till today that is the See- Judge Act.

In my understanding I jotted down a small difference which according to me stands as the difference with what we got for free, to what we now pay and get, I am sure, that one may have much more clarity to understand and differentiate.

There is guidance with Life and Values

As we realize that due to impact of Pandemic, we miss our School, our traditional classroom education and much more, but due to the other impacts of modern education, we understand we will soon be forgetting ourselves and living a life, that we ourselves don’t realize.

Simple ways of bringing back Life!

1. Refreshing the Methodology of See-Judge- Act and possibly making the road map to understand what is happening around, the best is to jot down thoughts, so that we don’t forget.

2. Talk About the daily aspect of life to your parents and siblings and friends, as we understand that we are in more pressure, pressure due to no academic and also fear of life which may bring down panic.

3. If there Is a chance to plan for your Group cell meeting via devices, supportive to meet virtually, can imbibe a lot more understanding, at least 15 mins in a fortnight.

4. Do a lot more writing, may be writing about your experience with Covid and hearing the news ahead and how you tackled to grow due to See Judge Act.

5. We find that every day passes in a matter of flash and by the time we realize, we need to do something, and we already see many months have passed.

 

“Successful people recognize crisis as a time for change - from lesser to greater, smaller to bigger”

Let’s take a minute to recognize the best strategy to understand and change ourselves to be better.

Giving back, better than we found it!

I recently was in a short discussion on understanding financial terms in day to day life and understanding about the financial aspects in a typically life of people living in country life and I realized that Years have passed by from Independence and still we look up to ignorance and the evolution of looting because of lack of education and basic guidance on principles of savings and livelihood.

So, made me realize where are we? And how are we going to move forward in this topsy turvy society and what are we as individuals going to do about it.

As we began to understand the process of finding out of basic awareness of financial literacy, I began to understand that at some point of time, there has been a evolvement of mis-representation of facts and figures, and since majority due to the trustworthiness that someone in the family has asked them to go on forward, trusted and went with the process and finally what returned was fake reply and ending up in loss both psychologically and mentally.

                And despite of numerous handout and knowledge available, majority still fail in this process and end up nothing in hand.

                We realize that as the system is confined to this we, now exist in a catastrophic condition and finally we realize that it’s a big mistake, when you ask why did u do it? Finally comes a lame reply that there is lack of awareness and that we still look for a dawn when my solution is going to end.

                We are in a diverse world and understanding the fact that there is a lot available digitally, when you enter the grass root level, these ideas don’t reach the common man, and that there still exists a big gap, between the intention, the root cause and the end user.

                This is where we need a guide map to accept the process and help a lot more individuals to help who is in need. We need people to guide and help the society to accept that awareness can help correct and lot of hindrances to common man and that we still feel a lot of commitment is required to reach this idea.

                Even if the idea reaches, then the process of sustainability comes into thought and that where you and I Can give back the best way we can! Many areas there don’t require money or pride it just requires a little bit of understanding of the concept and helping the unaware aware.

                Many organizations to my understanding begin this process but at some point of time, ideas get build not leading to purpose and things get diverted, ending up, from something to nothing.

                So as we progress to a dawn of 2021, let us rethink about the commitment we can extend to people who still need to look up and possibly giving them the sense of responsibility and making them aware and becoming better individuals to manage their professional and personal livelihood.

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!

How optimistic are You?

In my recent venture to nominate myself to be part of a global organization, we had two other comrades, who were of a African and a native from Middle East unfortunately we had elections and I was the odd one out, but for the good or bad, I realized, that even if I don’t win, and if I cannot do what the organization is expecting, then my fellow comrades, will definitely do a better job, I realized, doing matter who does doesn’t.

We were having a discussion at work place about how optimistic are you? When it comes to managing things and keeping that brave mindset, despite all odds, I believe optimism comes when you understand what actually is happening around yourself and you hold a sense of belonging and hope it’s going to be okay! And that positivism just keeps things pushing.

What matters in today’s context is more self aware and that you actually needs to know, who you and what your sense of purpose! Going back in life to our previous years we may have set an expectation and a resolution that this year is going to be my year! And we move about re-aligning to the other expectations and by the time we realize its end of the Year.

Being optimistic doesn’t really mean that there in life, you can’t always be there uplifting your soul, yes as a matter of fact, we fail and move forward, but optimism is all about body language portraying who you are and how it is going to reflect your inner self to the outer society.

I believe, we may have seen the last ball hit out to the stadium by Captain Cool lifting the world cup by India after 28 Years, is all about optimism and the body language that you hold in moments that define who you are.

So let’s come to a little bit of science where optimism can help, thinking that is focused on the future and how the future will unfold. It helps improve our lives and make us happier.  Numerous research studies have confirmed the benefits of optimism which include better health, longer lives, faster recovery from illness, and even healthier babies.

Let’s now unfold what is takes to be optimistic in life, be it our moments in life or be it the situations that define us! I would say it’s all about how good that oneself is in his situation an how he handles not losing his calm matters, being optimistic can help.

When we are optimistic, life looks a little bit more interesting to new avenues, challenges and thoughts can be more impactful and that we don’t have any second thoughts about where are we heading with this!

I believe that one can practice optimism all his life through various methods and strategies, but I still feel and believe that there’s more to life and this attribute that can help you doesn’t need any a tool but rather self understanding that positivity can help to survive better day’s forward.

Optimism isn’t a big thing- it’s all about a word or a sentence or may be intent of oneself in his quest of success and the intention or a help he/ she does to anyone.

The Missing “ME”

                 The other day, being the Month end, I was working on a late shift and had possibly a stretch of time due to unfinished works and had to make up of what’s been up so far and ended up very late for dinner and to bed. It struck me in awe to understand what will be the reality, if this is going to be a day to day story, where in the world amidst pandemic are we going to go? Was realistic question to understand and think?

            I quickly made some quick pointers to understand what’s been the missing part because of this!, and listed that I will be missing to catch up virtually with friends, no time for family, no time for other things in life and it also came to big eye-opener that I will also miss that time for me!, the thought on goals, aspirations, passions and what more!

            I then took up a recent statistics to understand is it my problem but realized that its become a global problem of missing work-life balance for many ending up in major either health issues or mental disorders to struggle with life.

            Every time in life, we end up being busy but we don’t know, actually what are we busy about and ending up losing the moments in life, made me realize that there needs to be an actual plan of some order to come out of this scenario of what’s been the need of the hour.

            We may have lot of unfinished things in life, that we may or may not have promised to some or to many but our only solution, to this is have a list down of what it is and to make a commitment to either do it in the upcoming months or if that’s not going to happen then we may decide to wipe out that thought forever, which will reduce our burden to manage things amidst busyness.

            I reiterate, amidst the world where earlier meeting people, face to face conversations, attending class room study was a matter of enriching life to its full is slowly fading away to virtual ways of living, it is our responsibility to stick back to limiting the ways of media over the week and also in the weekends and making to spend time on other things!

            Many a times, we maintain a To- do List thinking about what is our priority and we end up multi-tasking but virtually ending up in only finishing a limited tasks, but rather planning for a To- Achieve List of taking up only what’s necessarily for you, for example mails addressed directly to you to act immediately can help oneself to accept that there is time for everything.

            It’s the law of the land that there is 24 Hours in a day and we need to give up time for family and friend and also a matter of priority our health, we need to figure out organizing our responsibilities to understand that reflecting on our day still can be part of everyday life.

            Today is life—the only life you are sure of, why not spend on something not worth living for but rather looking up to look up on our achieve list and make life more happier! That what is was so far!

“If you don't take time out for yourself, you're doing yourself and everyone around you a disservice.”― Melissa Ambrosini,
