Make your child ready for the real world

Parenting is the greatest blessing in the whole world. As child enters our life, our perspective of seeing things changes and we become a better person. As a parent, everyone wants to be the perfect guardian of their child. They want to give each and everything which their child wants from them and why not, they want their child to be the happiest one in the whole world. But does it really work in the long run? No. There are parents who bring their children in the garden but they don’t let them play because, they don’t want them to be injured while playing. In this case, we could clearly see that they are being extremely over-protective. Any sensible mind could shatter while thinking about these children’s future.

You must be thinking that what’s wrong in protecting our child? There is nothing wrong if you are protecting them for the right reason. If you are protecting your child from the little things like injuries while playing, fights with friends then you are keeping them away from the real life experiences. No one is telling you to put them into troublesome situations to have experiences but at least let them decide what and how it feels when they fall, when they fail and when they succeed. It’s not always about their safety, sometimes it’s about their experiences, their views, their perspectives about things. These little things help to develop their personality.

There is this fact, which every parent should keep in mind that some or the other day, your child is going to be an independent individual and he or she has to face the real world. If you keep them away from these experiences, it will harm them in future. Just imagine, when they will face something in the future like failure or heartbreak, they wouldn’t be able to understand how to react or how to handle themselves, just because they would be totally dependent on you. Because you were the one in every situation who guided them and they didn’t have to do anything for that. So, please don’t make them face this in the future. Don’t be their weakness! Be their strength! Make them ready for the real world.

Change your perspectives and be you!

                                           

Our perspective matters a lot. You will feel that how much I try to see things perfectly, if things are not the same way, there can’t be any difference. Let me tell you a positive thing about life. Life is not at all easy; you need to convince your life that, “you are the way I see you.” What is so positive in it? Life will automatically show you some things negative but due to your positive perspective, you would find it easier and greater. Things around you don’t really change often but there is one thing that can be in your favor and that is your spirit, your perspective. How you see doesn’t change the way things work out around you. But it definitely changes the way things affect you.

    How can you achieve this stage in life? Is it possible? The answer is when you decide to be yourself at any given point of time, and in every situation, you can definitely do it. It has always been told that, “Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder”. When we decide to see the world through our own glasses, we find it so easy to deal with the uncertainties of life. When we see everything negative around, we should clean our glasses. Then we develop our own vision to see the world. We develop our own perspective to acknowledge things.

     No one’s life is perfect. Everyone has their own struggle. We need to understand our own way of doing things; we need to understand our own way of sorting things out. Everyone has their own style of reacting to the situations. Don’t copy anyone, accept yourself and apply your rules. You know your challenges well and you actually know how to solve them. Be calm and be you!

Feel happy to be happy

No matter how much we earn, no matter how much we achieve, we can never guarantee that happiness will arrive at our door. Without being happy, one cannot survive. Happiness is a feeling which fills our life with optimism. Happiness has a lot of strength which makes us feel confident. Everyone in this world does a lot of things to find happiness. Happiness is not about only things and people around us. It is an innate feeling, which keeps us going ahead in life.

     If everyone wants to be happy and does a lot of hard-work for that, then why don’t everyone be happy at the end? Many successful people also sometimes can’t find happiness, despite of having all the money, success and worldly things around them. Why does it happen? Because, they don’t feel that happiness within them. They can actually find it in the core of their soul. Being able to find self, is the way to find happiness in life.

   Happiness is a connection between you and your soul. When you find the core of your soul, you find happiness! There are a few ways to get connected with your soul, like meditation, self-talk, doing things to make others happy, spreading smile and doing things which are creative in nature. No one has ever achieved anything great by being sad, but the people who are happy, achieve self-satisfaction! Happiness is an option! Being happy is a choice and we know, you would make wiser choices in life!

Go slowly but surely

We have a special habit. Yes every one of us has the special habit of wanting our work to be done faster. We want to finish the work we have, and see the output very soon. Many of us consider it as a good habit. But do you know one thing or do you ever think about it that doing things faster can never be the aim. ‘Doing things properly should be the one.’

    Take an example of a child, who recently has learnt to walk. He tries to walk faster in an excitement to reach to the corner where his parents are standing. What makes him do so? His excitement of reaching the destination. So he walks faster and falls down. The same thing happens with us, when we try to reach the destination so eagerly, we fail in between the process itself.

What one should do to be sure about successful journey of achieving goal?

•         Trust your efforts
•          Manage things wisely
•          Be perfect
•          Improve yourself
•         Concentrate on efforts instead of speed
•          Be sure about your decision
•          Always remember that there is never turning back from the path of success
•         Your creativity is your weapon in this battle of achieving your goal
•          Be firm enough to accept things, may it be success or failure
•         Take responsibility of your actions
•         While going surely, make sure that it’s not getting too late
•       ‘This will definitely turn out to be the best’ should be your thought process
•          Prepare yourself for the journey because perfection needs patience

It’s always the matter of being free!

   Freedom is such aspect of life, which everyone wants to have. If freedom were related to not being in the prison, most of us were free. Freedom, its meaning varies from person to person. We need to understand one thing that, freedom is actually the state of mind. The late legendary freedom fighter, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak had his thoughts clear about having freedom. For him, it was his birth right. Today, on the occasion of his 98^th death anniversary, let’s talk about freedom.

  William James was an American Philosopher and Psychologist, he used to think about freedom through spiritual spectrum. For him walking on the path of spirituality and behaving as per God’s will was the true freedom of mind. Today, even if we are physically free, we find our mind in the prison of insecurities, fears, ego, greed and negativity. 

 We find our mind surrounded by all the negative emotions which become the reason of having lack of creativity. How can we attain this freedom? How can we be free from this prison? The answer is so easy! We can do it by self analyzing things around us. It is all inside our mind.

          Self-control

           Self Observation

          Self Analysis                                                                                                                                        

       The above three factors can help us a lot in the journey of making our mind free from this prison. By implementing this, one can enjoy the true freedom in life.
