Managing Weaknesses

 





Hellos,

What's your weakness??  This question is often asked in interviews and it is one of the most definitely asked questions.  At that time we get confused and often try to find out what our weaknesses are, try to search it on google or ask our family and friends.  But seldom we reflect on our behavior and ascertain what are our main required improvement points.

Further to 'Know Thyself' post, take out few minutes alone with yourself without any distractions. Sit in a quiet place, close your eyes, take a deep breath and reflect on yourself.  Let the thoughts come in.  Most of the times, we know all the answers.  Your weaknesses will come rushing to you!!

Some examples are :

1.  Do you get angry easily and then repent later?

2.  Are you anxious or fearful?

3. Do you lack motivation?

4. Do you procrastinate?

5. Are you addicted to social media?

Once you have identified some of your weaknesses, pick up only 2-3 major ones that you really want to improve upon.  Acknowledgment is the first success !!   Work on one weakness at a time.  e.g. if something is making you angry, count till 5 before giving any reaction. If you lack motivation, read books, listen to podcasts, listen to other people success stories, reach out to mentors.

It will take a lot of time and effort investment but it is not impossible.  "Take baby steps always" is the Mantra.   Also remember that no one is perfect and perfection is not the aim. Aim is to better yourself so that you can remove all the clutter and grow in life.

We are humans and our strengths and weaknesses make us who we are.  Weaknesses are not villains.  They are just roadblocks you have to avoid so that you can have your life's happy journey!

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 ...
