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.

Allocating time

In order to get something at our grasp we must do the work. In any case giving enough time and energy is necessary to make it possible. And sometimes not. Those are not rare case scenarios. It is well observed around. We must have experienced this. The evident factor is that, due to the most valuable time, we often switch things around, like hedging. Unlike hedging you cannot do both simultaneously. So the thing is we have to make blocks of time. These blocks will save lot of energy and of course brings the time for our deed. During this process, it is necessary that we must allocate the time to those defined blocks. By allocating, we are actually veering the time from anything that we usually do to something purposeful . Because doing something that creates meaning requires effort and consistency. Motivation is not enough, it dies soon. Here some people often confuses this with their moral things. Such as relationship and routine. Instead of keeping it well nourished, th...

Knowledge gap

Sometime the barrier lies in lack of knowledge. People often tend to develop their life using their existing knowledge which they tried and failed many times. Even while taking the financial decision people focus on planning what's they planned before and slay there. They might be good at the existing tried and failed planning. But learning about the different methods and concepts, they can actually make a better decision.

Becoming rich and staying rich

Becoming rich and staying rich are two different things. Becoming rich involves a lot of effort and getting out of the comfort zone. Of course, you need to work your ass off. But staying rich requires intelligence. Because money put on depreciating assets can reduce the wealth into half within a short period. All the efforts that were put on creating this massive wealth goes in vain. Staying rich is equally important as becoming rich.

Adapting and wrong implementing

Adaptation of the new way of life just made the world better place to communicate. I’m not sure with these all amazing technology the world became a better place. Because better is a relative word. Of course the world got better at communication, transportation, lifestyle and availability of information. On the other side it did made some of it worse. The scenario that needs necessary attention is to the earth itself. Climate worsened, pollution peaked, diseases begun proliferating rapidly, manipulation, suicide attempts and many such things. Certainly technology never intended to bring evil to the world. But when it reached the wrong hands, technology became a personal tool to personal gain, totally neglecting the core principle of making the world a better place. So it’s not wise to say that world became a better place in first place. Since it’s a relative phrase it would be more acceptable when said accurately. Technology did more deed than evil and it ethics perfectly ...

Waste less time

While doing a job, whether we love it or not, what is more important or what is more it makes meaningful is the result. How much results or output stands afterward is always the measuring tool. We do lots of hacks such as productivity booster to increase result rate. Out of all, most of the time, assigning time is quite powerful. Time creates a sense of urgency. We all know that we have only limited amount of time, yet we waste it. But when we assign time to a task, we most likely to finish the work than thrash it. The reason is simple : our brain function more vigorously when time is included. We never estimate the time spent in entertainment or on drugs. Although it cost a lot of time when we wander in unwanted things, we tend to avoid time management here. But feel drastic feeling when we finds a few minute increase in productive work. Here the problem lies with the brain itself. It tricks us to believe that a minute spent productively can be equated with an hour in entertainm...

Resistance is ill backed

Resistance is about not doing the things that matters the most. The things that leaves a lot of output in the long-term. The reason why we procrastinate the important things is because it is the manifestation of resistance. We might get bewildered if we knew what this resistance had done to us and to those around us. The craziest part is we don’t we know if there exists resistance. Because resistance itself blocks its discovery. It or the brain part which controls it knows that the slightest awareness of resistance is danger. It’s a threat for the existence. It cannot survive with proper knowledge. Each time an endeavor starts to unfold resistance keeps it under the bed. Gradually making it repellant it succeeds in strengthening the procrastination. The main cause people won’t defy the resistance is they don’t know it’s existence. It’s invisible and involuntary. We easily spot a liar or a traitor after couple of days of engaging with them. They possess a body, a character and more...

The crypto method and concern

With the promise of making finance and its concern more secure, cryptos are gaining popularity. Especially in the gaining popularity of bitcoin, large sum of money is pouring into it. The traditional means of carrying a paper currency due its certain limitation is less in demand. Besides the way to deal with commodities and goods internationally it tough to manage. The increasing inflation is another concern. Amid all of these limitations people still choose to go with paper currencies, even the governments for worst. Government has its own concern over losing power over peoples money transactions and the threat laying over the banking sectors. Those concerns are valid to reason upon because of the burst of large unemployment. But the flipside is so enticing. The increasing number of people talking about it is a great example. Within this decade about one in seven people in the world would migrate to cryptos. That is a huge market. So, there is nothing to wonder about billionaires pour...

Importance of diversified portfolio

To have a good portfolio isn't about finding several multibaggers or investing in coins that are ready to explode, it is about diversifying the portfolio. Diversifying the portfolio is not just putting money into some random assets, it is actually diversifying the risk. Because narrowing risk to just a few assets is foolish. The greater the risk, the greater the reward and worser the failure. So having a well-diversified portfolio is important than having multibaggers.

FOMO dilemma

With an obsession over a thing, the given effort seems effortless. We will spend hours tirelessly and even make it to the next top level. But we develop this affectionate obsession with only a few items and most of them are addictive as well s destructive. We see this happen with people eagerly waiting for an episode of their favorite TV show. Since we do most of the fundamentals with what is most pleasurable than what is actually productive, we often fall into this trap of fake FOMOs. FOMO can be interpreted in two ways. The first one is in the form of pleasing the external world. Protecting ourselves from being an idiot in the crowd. This is embarrassing to most people since they seek validation from the external world all the time. They are not allowed to miss what's trending, the new episodes of tv shows, celebrity divorce, millions of viewed videos, and much garbage stuff. In the process of showing the external world that you're up to date with what is happening in the tr...
