Defining our path


What we should strive for is greatness. Greatness is nothing but becoming the best version of ourselves. We are the sum total of the impressions imprinted on our minds through our actions and thoughts. Of course, the rest is a combination of external factors. But the fact that we can control our thoughts and actions makes it our own responsibility to take care of our lives. We should be responsible because there is no one else to blame. Blaming someone else for our failure is a total waste of time. Once we accept the fact that without our involvement, nothing is possible, we'll take charge. It is that simple to observe.

Everyone is busy with their own life. If we expect someone to come and help us, we will be fooled until we realize it ourselves. Maybe we can find someone trying to help us, but they can't do it every time. They know that their own life is more precious. Humans are mostly selfish, but the layers of selfishness are what make the difference. We can alter this concept with ego too. There is no human without ego, but only the intensity of it matters.

Ego often tricks us into taking the path of others and won't let us carve our own path. Ego boosts our comparing mindset and makes us think that satisfying our ego is the true meaning of success. But what is really happening here is that we are attaching the meaning of happiness to our ego goals. We are losing our own identity there. An inborn talent of an artist is crushed by the peer pressure of corporate success. Ever since the dawn of human beings till now, this has been happening. And only a few who muster the courage to follow their heart make a meaningful living. They define what success is for them through the process of trial and error, and they are satisfied with it. That's what truly matters—our own satisfaction with our work. The realization that we are doing what we are born to do is one of the greatest joys in the world. They may not become successful in the eyes of the useless herd, but it doesn't matter as long as we are satisfied with that.

Courage often matters here as it means opposing the status quo. Courage is needed to face those who tell us what to do in our lives and to face the uncertainty that lies ahead. But that is the spirit and adventure that makes life worthwhile, rather than trying to satisfy someone else. We have to go through this. The path is simple, but not the process. Those who have achieved things in their life often went through this hard path—the path of discipline, perseverance, hard work, failure, and more. What is desperate is the fact that even after knowing what we should do, no one does it.

Expressive tendency

People express when they feel like they are safe among the peers. It is a trust factor. This trust factor can be developed through mutual understanding. When a group of stranger collabs and start to express the embarrassing truth, individuals within the peers develops the tendency to vomit the dirty truths. This is like a chain reaction, the more people express, the trust gets stronger and stronger.  

Going beyond the numbers

The ability to go and look beyond numbers makes a huge difference in an organization. Mostly, the leaders do take notice of the revenue decrease and this push layoffs and payment cuts. They should be more focused on what is bothering the employees and what makes them suck at whatever they do. Threatening with salary cut and layoff will work in the short run. But the fuel ceases soon and the individual at the top need to figure out another intimidating stuffs that would make employees ass on fire. It doesn't work.

Levels of maturity

Levels of maturity can be attributed to the various developmental stages of life. Maturing enough to take decisions and accepting the responsibility is the stem behind being mature. Maturity often comes with suffering or in an easy sense, seeing reality as reality. It is harder than before. No one actually wants to face the brutalities of the real world. Often we can spot adults and working professionals playing video games to relieve, relief from the real world. We cannot expect age-based maturity from those individuals. They are feeding the monster under the bed. They have to face it sometimes.  Seeing reality as it is the best way to be mature. This way we will reach the conclusion that nothing is permanent and everyone is destined to disappear from earth anyway.

End of the day

How we spend our time datermines how we spend our life. The productive minute spend makes the hour great. It is just the acts at one in sixtieth of an hour. Just a minute of greeting could turn the entire hour into a blossom. We can observe the high energy and enthusiasm throughout. Yet most people neglect this simple fact of turning a minute to impact an hour. The entire blocks of hours slips this way. The case is not different with day. An hour of favourable act alter the entire day. Here the ratio of time spent wisely to spent vaguely is relatively small. Yet the avoidance is common. This can can be extended into year, decade or lifetime. The same feel we experience at the end of the day when spent an hour in purpose is similar to the reinforced version of it at the end of life. So it's not so difficult to figure out how the final stage of life would be like. By carefully measuring the blissfull experience of each decade, we can most accurately predict what it would be like to b...

The path of experience

Genuine conviction is invariably born from firsthand experience. This is because, innately, our belief systems are wired to accept anything that can be perceived through our sensory experiences, a trait that evolved during our ancestral hunting epochs. Once we acquire such direct experiences, no further evidence is required to cement our belief. These experiences thus become the compass by which we navigate our existence. Hence, the optimum method of learning is through experimentation and introspection, for knowledge acquired in this manner becomes deeply embedded within our psyche, imparting indispensable lessons for personal development and growth. Predominantly, our learning derives from the direct  experiences of others who possess a profound understanding and apply this wisdom to enhance their lives. Regrettably, we often fail to leverage this wealth of knowledge to our own advantage.

Use information for seduction

The ability to get out of yourself and dig into other people's lives can be useful when it comes to seduction. we must let ourselves subside and know the opposite person well. Know what they want, what they like, how they would react to different circumstances, and whey they like and dislike. During this process of minute scrutiny, never leave a clue that might lead to suspicion. Digest this information and keep tracking the person occasionally and ask them subtly about those private things to show you really care what they said. This sense of feeling that this person cares about us when used correctly can be a tool for seduction.
