HUMILITY..

Our life is a beautiful play of opportunities. These are the chances that life offers to us so that we can change our circumstances for the better. The people who have an eye for detail can pick up these opportunities and utilise them. The form of this varies from person to person. The opportunities depend on the goal set by that individual. These lead to achievement of goals and success in life. They take us to the top but remaining on the top requires some effort and changes to our behaviour. The most important behavioural change needed is the inculcation of humility in our personality.

Humility is rare. It gets rarer as one starts to climb up the ladder of success. It is a prized possession. A person who is humble and down to earth even after being on the top is a person with deep ethics and enriched soul. Humility at first is a choice. A person can choose to be humble and down to earth even when he/she need not be. This is a character trait symbolising strong personality. This trait is the one that keeps a person on the top protecting him/her from the dazzles that often blind the masses that make it to the top.

Success is hard earned and often fought for. Humility is a choice for many but then there are those people who have been humbled by the struggles they have faced in life. Hardest of struggles result into the greatest of success. A person who had to go through such hard struggles values success like no one else. That individual knows what it takes to achieve that height. This enriches his/her soul and makes the person humble towards life. They value their position and do not boast about it. They also are sympathetic and encouraging for those who are in their struggle phase working their way to the top. 

 Life offers us opportunities.We recognise them and put in our hard work. The end result is success. But this is also a soul enriching process. The struggles and opportunity that life offers us make us humble. Whenever we get overwhelmed  by our success, the experiences from our struggling days bring us to the reality keeping us down to Earth. Such is life. Humility is a prized possession. One should search for this quality in persons they want to get inspired from. Because being humble is a choice that people make when they have everything which requires a mindset that is worth its value in gold. Be humble and down to earth. Ending this with the words of Steve Jobs is appropriate because he was an epitome of humility.. "STAY HUNGRY, STAY FOOLISH"..

DECLUTTERING..

Our life has many things that demand our attention. Our dreams and aspirations are in constant demand of our time. They are the most important things in our life. But we are not able to give them the due attention as our life is cluttered with many other things that demand our attention. These things can literary be things and other social responsibilities. When we start to give our time to these. As a result the time demanded by the things that help us grow is unmet for because we all have the same 24 hours in a day.

The behaviour we talked about earlier is a major hurdle in the way of living a fulfilling life. The dreams that we have ,often remain dreams because of our life's clutter that drain away our precious time and strength. These clutter can be of many types. Relationships that pull us down can be a clutter. Things that we no longer use can be a clutter because they demand our attention. Social media is a big clutter of our lives. Our phones drain away most of our valuable time. We get indulged in mindless gossips thanks to social media sites. We spend endless hours gulping not so useful content on video sharing sites. And not to mention the time we lose just scrolling on the newsfeed on our social media sites. All these are life's clutter that should be done away with.

Saving ourselves from our phones can be very beneficial. Doing away with the apps that we rarely use along with cutting our time on social media gossips can be of great help which would result in spending time doing things that are useful and enriching. Our wardrobe is also a clutter of our lives. The time we spend every day deciding what to wear also clutters our mind. Simplifying our wardrobe can be of great help. This will help us restrict impulse purchases which has become easy thanks to the online retail apps. 

Decluttering simply means to get rid of the unnecessary things in our lives. Those mentioned above are just a few things of the massive clutter we accumulate throughout our lives. We come into this world with nothing and are going to leave this world in the same way. Thus there is absolutely no meaning of hoarding non necessary things in our lives.
Spending life with those things that are necessary makes our mind grow and help us flourish financially. When we are away from junk we are able to give quality to our lives. The time that this method saves is impressive and the value can be instantly felt. 

The simple living is a technique of the sages. People with their materialistic aspirations have done away with this technique. But it's coming back as well as getting due attention and popularity. The benefits are endless. Try decluttering your life and witness the growth yourself. Start from getting rid of the non necessary and go on adopting this as a way of living. Share this philosophy with others and let them enjoy the benefits offered by a simple life. If these benefits don't draw you towards it, then the financial freedom it offers sure will. YOUR LIFE IS YOURS TO BUILD, IT'S UP TO YOU HOW YOU WANT IT TO BE!! 

SILENCE AS A HABIT..

It is an old saying that an empty vessel sounds much. People can derive various meanings of this proverb. But we should focus on the very essence of this saying i.e silence. Silence is a term that has been in the backdrop for quite sometime. The society has developed as well as the surrounding. This era is the era of industrialisation and urbanisation. These so called metropolices have every essentials as well as luxuries. But they lack silence which is a necessity for the well being of mind. 

Silence is a real luxury now a days. People often seek peace of mind by moving away from the hustle. This explains the so called urban to rural migration that is often considered a step back in life today. Silence in the surrounding is very important and can really create wonders but silence on lips is a whole different story.

Today silence has been attributed to shyness. People are drawn to gossips and other futile conversations because it helps them to mingle and get accepted in their immediate surrounding. This is wrong and has impacts which often go unnoticed. Scientifically speaking, the very act of speaking drains our body of energy because various organs and muscles have to be pulled in to create speech. This energy could have been used otherwise in certain productive activities that can really influence the life individuals live.

Mindless gossips are a new trend. This begins at the teenage and remains with an individual all of his/her life. People waste their valuable time and energy in them. This energy could have been channeled in order to get more out of life. People who are silent are really blessed. They have some unique characteristics that the others lack. Once a person becomes silent he/she becomes more aware of the surrounding. The idea of nature speaks that we often come across is well explained by a person who has achieved the brilliance in silence. A person who has mastered silence has surely mastered self control because he/she can efficiently control the urge of speaking. Silence also opens new doors to look at our surrounding because the energy saved activates the essential senses that makes a person better observer and listener. To clarify this we can pool in the example of deaf and dumb persons who have heightened abilities because they have essential energy saved. Things and behaviour speak, we don't always need to hear to know about them, thoughtful observations are enough.

Heightened abilities or not, silence is very rewarding. The time and energy saved can be directed to carry on productive activities that can add meaning to life. Sad reality is that people who have mastered this ability are looked down upon and are considered non social. They are left out and thus have to drive themselves on their own. Many give in to this social discrimination but one who has really mastered self control keeps his/her way of life intact. This life is not to please someone else rather to find meaning in one's own existence. 

Path of silence is difficult but the end result is very rewarding. Any habit as explained by many scientific researchers take 21 days to become embedded into ones life. Silence as a way of life is a habit and is worth the try. Yes this can result in social disconnections but the ones that were meant to stay would stay. Its the universal truth. Last blog explained about decluttering ones life. Silence has the power to declutter your life of the individuals that were not good for you. Take the challenge and give it a go. You would not be dissapointed for sure.In addition to that you would become one of the very few to have gained mastery in self control. Now that's something! Silence is really an answer to many problems which demands dedication and gives extensive value to life..
