Identifying & optimizing strengths

 

Hey you,

In this existing world of 'chaos and confusion', sometimes we get lost.  We are not clear what we are doing, why we are doing, what's the life purpose and  how can we find peace and happiness.  Most of us are unable to recall the last time we have laughed wholeheartedly,  last time when we have experienced joy and last time when we felt that our life is 'blissful'.

Further to 'Know Thyself" post, once you have identified and written down your strengths, ask yourself a question.  Am I making the most of what I am God gifted with?  Are my daily actions aligned with my strengths?  How can I feel more happy and confident with my strengths. There are high chances that you might not at all  be doing what you are good at or doing very little of it.  What to do then?

Suggesting some examples below:

1.  If you are good at writing, start journaling daily. Even if it is just a paragraph.  It can be on a sheet of paper, any notebook or notepad, or any electronic medium. If daily is not possible, atleast 3-4 times a week or whenever you get time.

2.  If you are good at cooking, try to cook on your own as often as possible.  There is no rulebook of cooking which says that you will be considered good cook, if you make elaborate or complex or fusion or international dishes.  Just a simple dish to start with.

Most important is to take baby steps.  Don't try to run fast otherwise you will lose your momentum fast.  Don't make it another 'TO DO' task.  Make conscious effort that you take out some time during the day or week to sharpen your 'strengths.  

Point is to utilize your time and energy and channelize it in a better way.  Whatever you are 'God gifted with', serve its purpose!  Your strengths are unique to you and you are blessed with them to make proper use for your betterment only.

Good luck and see you in next post..

Shut that Door!

Image
  What do you do when you don't want something unpleasant or uncomfortable to come into your home?  You shut the Door.. right?  Everything around us is Energy.  What you watch, see, hear, speak, feel is energy.  What you love and don't love is also energy.  And energy cant be seen.  You cant see energy transfer taking place. You may not feel it instantly.  But one thing is for sure, this energy is affecting you at levels you have no idea about. So, if you want to feel comfortable and happy, healthy and at peace, just shut that Door.   But how? some examples.. 1.   Don't watch negative news, TV shows, movies or any other form of social media which in    your heart you know is not good.  Reality shows based on curated fights to gain   TRP   are  taking away so much from you. 2.  Restrict your interaction with people with whom you are not comfortable.  This is a g ame  changer...

Let them Be, Let it Be, Let it Go !

  If there is one Mantra of Life that should give you immense peace, that has to be "Let them Be, Let it Be, Let it Go!.    Breaking it for you.. Let them Be -  Almost most of the times, you cant change people and you cant change what they think about you.  So, let them Be.  If we fuss too much about what is being said about us, then we will be spending our hard earned and precious energy on something that we don't have control over.  So, be a good human being, care about people but protect your boundaries.  Also,  the only person you can change is YOU.  Focus on your improvement and your well being.  Rest will fall in place automatically.  Don't try to sell grass to Lions. You will fail miserably.. Let it Be -   Similar to people, we don't have control on situations also most of the times.  Whenever you are faced with a challenging situation, always always focus on the solution rather than the problem. Problem ...

Choose to be Kind

Image
Answer this question honestly!  Are you kind? In all probabilities, the answer would be YES.  No one wants to be unkind to people.  But often our kindness comes with conditions or notions such as 'If you are kind to me, I will be kind to you'. 'I am kind because I do charity or give to people'. 'I am kind, but people take advantage of my kindness'. etc. etc. Whatever your beliefs are, always always be kind to people.  In your actions, speech and even thoughts.  If someone needs help, help them .   If there is someone you don't like, try to be kind in your speech (this is a tough one!) . Try not to judge people as everyone has a different life journey and what they are currently  is a result of their experiences and environment.  If for some reason, you cant be kind, be quiet. In the end, you will always be remembered for your kindness and how you made people feel.  Kindness  will inculcate peace, joy and harmony in your life. It will ...
