Self sufficiency


One of the essential qualities of any person is to be in a position where he/she can handle things by themselves without depending on others. Given the self-centric and selfish society that we live in, So, it requires us to strive for being independent on various aspects of life. Having said that, I have no intention of generalising by saying that the entire society is outright selfish. 

Life is unpredictable, and there’s always a hint of precariousness attached to it. Henceforth, it’s imperative to inculcate productive habits through which one can develop the personality holistically. When I say productive habits, it could be anything from reading a good book to focusing on various intellectual areas which needs to be addressed in order to have a broader perspective on any given subject.

The idea is to evolve constantly, not the other way around. And evolution can only happen when we devout most of our time doing something productive as opposed to engaging in frivolous things which could have zero impact on our overall development. Not to mention, the resources are in abundant but are we using it to our advantage or not remains a big question. However, if you are someone who chooses to utilise the available resources for the personal growth and evolution, then you my friend are in auto-pilot mode to land on the runway of success.

Larger and brighter side of this is that, once someone becomes self-sufficient, not only they can help themselves but they can also help others in need during the time of distress. And it is this quality of having someone’s back during the time of crisis which makes us more humane.

Thomas Davidson (Author of Chamber’s Twentieth Century) said, “Associate with the noblest people you can find; read the best books; live with the mighty. But learn to be happy alone. Rely upon your own energies, and so not wait for, or depend on the other people.”

So evolve and let others evolve through you.

Procrastination jinx

In a capitalist society, you are likely to be judged by your contributions and the efforts that you put in to break the bread or let’s say, to get the wheel moving to making a living. Either way, you ought to get physically involved in order to accomplish a certain task. But the real question that we should be asking ourselves is whether we really get engrossed with passion in whatever we choose to do? We often cite lame reasons to actually delay or procrastinate on our day-to-day tasks, which in turn leads to disorganisation and we end up being inconsistent most of time. Not to mention, today’s generation has resorted to leaving things to the last minute, whether it be, preparing for exams, doing projects, meeting the office deadline, whatever it is, we leave it to the last minute. However, that doesn’t always do justice to our achievements per se. Of course, nobody can be held accountable expect for "us", as far as procrastination is concerned. I’m certain that t...

Tales of nature

In today’s day and age, we are mostly occupied with things that has no significance in spiritual development, such as meeting the office deadlines, whether it be children heading to schools, or people doing jobs that they hate just to make a living, I categorise all these under a modern day rat-race that we all have got accustomed to . We have been led in believing that money holds an awful lot of importance in order to live a healthy lifestyle. We’re just concerned about the external growth but not internal. We barely even have time to invest for our own benefit, whether it be physical or mental. When was the last time have you been to a park amidst nature to take a walk, when was the last time did you watch a beautiful sunrise or sunset, painting the sky in different hues, or when was the last time you looked in the sky in the night to observe the shimmering constellations? We got habituated to live in a concrete jungle as we totally disconnected ourselves from nature. ...
