ITS THE JOURNEY THAT MATTERS!

 Every individual is different, containing various skills and talents utilised for betterment. The essential factor that differentiates human beings is the experiences had in their lifetime. Individuals with more hardships and worst disappointments reach higher levels of success, for instance- Steve Jobs. You might think this is a radical claim.



Let me explain! Success is a destination. The end product of but the process, making of the product is the journey, "Focus on the journey, not the destination" this quotation has been thrown around a lot lately and I completely agree with it. 

The end product or the goal is what people desire and focus on.  But most of their time is spent on repetitive processes day in and day out with consistency. Perfecting every nuance along your journey takes you to success. Success is an endpoint it will be spoken from some time and eventually people will forget it, while the journey that you have been through where you have gained numerous experiences, which could potentially be used for other situations. Experiences learnt to extricate you as an individual from others. The author of one of the most influential works in the field of psychology called Man's Search for Meaning - Viktor Frankl. States " Don't aim at success... For success, is like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue".  Success cannot be forced, it is part of the system that is in progress, to reach success faster, various tweaks need to be made to your system, with every repetition. On the other hand, trying to get work done with high intensity but not consistently will affect the system,  results that you expect will not be achieved, high intensity is something humans can handle for a shorter duration of time. Eventually leading to burnout that may require a herculean amount of time to recover. 

In conclusion, try to create a system that is highly sustainable in a long run that suits you and does not deviate you from your goals.

TRUE LOVE – A MYTH OR REALITY?

By
In my previous article, I talked about how love is beyond logic and it deserves our focus and attention throughout our life inevitably.  Now, I am beginning with a new topic directed towards Love and this time, it’s about first-love, soulmates, love at first sight and intriguing parts of life which endures our thirst for conversations and relationships which enables us to move forward in life and create a better version of us during the process. Why do people care for their first love or relationship so much more than their successors? Personally, first love is equivalent to any initial experience we have in our life such as, a picnic in a vibrant lakeside garden surrounded by family or your first ever thrilling adventure with friends. Our first love becomes extremely significant, memorable and impassioned as it teaches us how to love a person other than you are obliged to do, such as your parents or relatives. You display your complete passion for the person irrespective of thei...

LOVE IS BEYOND LOGIC...

  LOVE IS BEYOND LOGIC… Love is an intriguing theme discussed by us in our daily life. It is surrounded by us and waiting for people to approach us with their feelings to showcase their support in the form of only one global emotion – LOVE. It could be the love of our friends, family or partners who wish to get attached with us and make our days special and enduring through challenges.  Let’s address the elephant in this article, “ WHY IS LOVE BEYOND LOGIC?”. I am certain there are people who are completely unequivocal about love being “ just scientific and it’s all in our brain”. I agree there is a scientific explanation behind our lust, desire and attraction, but the intention to make others happy and content in all our relationships even through the hard times is beyond logic and pragmatism.  “Love is merely a flow of energy, it connects and transforms us according to our needs and stays in us throughout the function of our life. It can neither be created nor destroyed...

DILIGENCE OR INTELLIGENCE ?

By
  Ever wondered if you are an intelligent person or a hard-working one? There's nothing wrong with being either of them. Let me tell you that an intelligent person in simple terms would mean a person who has the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. A diligent person would mean a hard worker. Now, which one are you? Are you the first one or the second one? Let’s analyze both and see which one we should be. Intelligence can be put into numerous ways : the capacity for abstraction, logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, reasoning, planning, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving etc. Sounds big I know. All of us would think, “ oh you are so lucky to have this much capacity! ”. Well let me tell you one thing, hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. What this means is if you do not put effort or don’t use your capacity, you cannot go further. So use what you have and make the most of it. I’m sure all of us would now have an idea of what a...
