All of us make sincere effort to achieve our targets; and realize quite often that things stop short of targets; Or find the results not very satisfactory; the answer lies in making an extra effort for the same result; You may brisk walk around your nearby park covering 6 kms every day in 50 minutes and may have lost 1,2 kgs in the process and not beyond that for the sincere effort put in; Now, make an extra effort trying to cover the same distance in 40 minutes & feel the difference; you are sure to achieve your desired result. Apply the same principle in your place of work; Stretch by a mile the boundaries that you have set for yourself as your comfort levels and you are sure to achieve success in leaps and bounds.
Do not get carried away by something that is being told to you; do not express anguish or anger immediately;do not REACT instantly, but ACT upon, instead. Take your own time to analyze options available with you before you draw conclusions on the same. Scroll through the information stored in your mind about the topic discussed, ask yourself if what being told to you is right and then take sides. While you do not react and only act upon, chances are you may not foulmouth about anybody or indulge in angry outbursts; and hasty decisions or conclusions drawn at the spur of the moment are avoided too.
Do not get glued to something midway, in the guise of being attracted by it; You may not reach your destination then or may take time to attain your goal. Agree, attached you are, even the finer details are not missed out, you take appropriate care in nurturing your new found desire; but shall learn to draw the detachment line also; Otherwise you may not be able to proceed further and may be glued to the position where you are in. Misery creeps in the moment you are not able to draw the line. Do not narrow your vision refusing to move on, instead, have a broader view and look at the bigger picture.
Silence pays. While you know something and realize the same is the topic of discussion, you dont have to voluntarily boast of your knowledge about the thing unless called for or draw other's attention by talking aloud, unknowinly raising your voice, thumping with excitement; Likewise when a heated argument emerges, it is better to stay silent than trying to make the other person see reason; instead stay calm and composed. No wonder the saying goes 'Empty vessels make more noise'; the tolerant, matured, wise and balanced person maintains his cool and does not vent out his emotions. Such a person is more successful in better handling of issues and wins trust and confidence of others as well. Smile. no wry or sarcastic, but a pleasing one that you are genuinely interested in the other person; you are remembered in the longer run for your pleasing qualities.
You create a comfort zone around you called Ego and look upon the world from this perspective. Ego confines you to a smaller circle, you are scared to tread past the circle, fear of facing the world, fear of failing; Ego is being shy and not wanting to talk with people around you. Ego is fear of what others might think of you. Ego is taking the credit when it does not belong to you or going wild when somebody else takes credit. Ego is thinking nobody else can do better than you. Ego is an inability to admit when you really need help; Ego is not forgiving(though wrong) because you feel your actions are justified; Ego triggers your anger and you dont feel sorry for it; Ego is having to be in control of everything; For Ego2go, what do you do? Turn a new Leaf; Do not wait any longer - Start now. When you are wrong, cultivate the habit to accept it; Stop blaming others for your losses in life & do not look around for scapegoats to shift the blame onto - instead blame yourself; Do not look for changes in the world around you, rather try to bring changes within you for the world to change around you. Pull you out of your comfort zone where you have been cosily confined to for long; Be open to ideas, share your thoughts and ACT. Be accountable for your actions and may your actions be transparent. May others around you see the newer YOU.
