#3 : It's Okay - Don't Loose Yourself


Its OK

At our homes, we have seen from our childhood our parents and later in lives our spouses. They all strive to be best or perfect; to do that, they try to please the rest of the family. This quest of theirs's sometimes leave them exhausted, and actually, there is no such need. Also, this leads us to pestering requests and unreasonable expectations. I want to bring to you all is one crucial takeaway which I read recently.

   Don't expect A+ in every aspect of your life. It's OK to have B, which also means Very Good.  Let me explain. Do not ever feel stressed about having a dual responsibility of family and work. You all are the backbone of families, but I have also observed that you always strive for best ( which it is OK,  but not at your own expense ), and want to be a perfectionist and in this journey, you never get time for yourself  " Me Time."

You are not taking an exam, and you frankly can't score cent per cent. Please don't be in the anxious, stressed to be best or Perfect. 

ü   It is OK if you don't make four dishes for lunch, one can fill their stomach with one.

ü  It is OK if you don't work until midnight and don't get a promotion. Nobody remembers their job designation on their dying day. You have to be with your family.

ü   It's OK if you could not make tiffin in the morning, or some daily chores missed.

Don't feel low or in guilt if you cannot manage all areas with the same perfection. You can get B in some, and that's perfectly fine. Trying to satisfy all (and that too with A+ grade) is also leading cause of stress.

Set your priorities, do your best, but don't keep looking out for the report card, and don't expect to top the class. There is no ideal person in this world, and if you strive to become one, there will be only one thing you will achieve for sure - stress.

     So, take a deep breathe, chill and relax. Tell yourself you are strong & You are best, do your best and deserve a peaceful life.  Your purpose of coming to this earth is not to please everyone. Your purpose is to offer what you have, to the world, and have a good life in return. 

  You have a relationship with yourself, don't sacrifice so much that you lose yourself.

Give Yourself permission to feel , how you feel , bring out your emotions !!!

      Yes , exactly its true and applicable for both gender , that's why I tried to gender neutral . But as we see around I personally see whoever women in our lives they try to excel and in end get depressed if they are not able to fulfil or please everyone . Which is not required at all .

    The last line about relationship with ourselves is what is lost in today's world. Little things that we do like, meeting friends over tea or talking a walk with spouce or sitting idle without your phone , can have huge impact in our daily lives.

    Thank you for reminding us to cherish the relationship with ourselves.

      Thanks for comments . We have forgotten how to handle relationship with ourselves , our ancestors use to meditate , have some time daily for themselves , different ashrams of lives were their . But now we have remind ourselves to spend some time with ourselves , have some "me time " and this is not selfish . This is very much needed

#1 : Thirty-three percent ( 33%)

 33% - Thirty Three Percent    'We make a living by what we get,  but we make a life by what we give  "  Said Winston Churchill.   It was a gloomy day, besides the roaring ocean waves along the beach, there was a large army anxiously waiting to cross the Ocean.  Rama, Lakshman and their Monkey army were distressed, waiting to cross the Ocean to reach Lanka.  All of them came to know that Sita is in Lanka, and they were struggling to find an appropriate person who could cross the same. Agand, the crown prince, said he is still small, to go, Jambvant was old, others also were expressing the disability to cross the Ocean. Hanuman sat quietly and listened to all this, not sure of his capabilities, whether he could do or not. Then Jambavant the  old and wise bear  approached him and reminded him about his abilities and capabilities as What he can do. Realizing the same Hanuman got the confidence, and he crossed th...

#13 : Life is a Journey

  Life is a journey, and we all in it in different stages. Ups and downs are part and parcel of the journey. We should not judge people where they are, even if we may have started our journey at some point in time. S/he may have embarked their journey from different stations. You may have progressed further in your Life, but they are yet those stations. Similarly, some may have gone ahead of you as well. Last year , I attended Shobha Soul fest where Guruji   Gaur Gopal Das came, during his Speech, he metaphorically compared Life journey to Air Travel.   He divided air travel into three parts, Take Off, In the plane and Landing . Where if you see Take-off and Landing you don't have any control, whatever is done by the Pilots.   For our understanding, they can be our GODs or events for which we have no control over it. While when we are on a plane , the actual journey, that part we can make it memorable, happier. So, it's in our hands to create Memories, happ...
