Meet Them, If You Can't Beat Them, Each Time..

"Standards are to be set once, but met each time.." 

One must not fluctuate in the set standards. As we grow our expectations from our performance increases by the day. Each task we do, every act we engage ourselves in, we have a goal to achieve or standard to meet.

Aa we get more exposed in life, travel more & meet meet people our standard of doing things grows & reaches better Heights. Once we set the standards somewhere the greatest lesson then is to ensure these standards are met each time with each task.

Those that love comfort zones, fluctuate in standards of performance because they adjust the standards to be met according to the amount of comfort they want to be in. 

We must strive to meet the standards we set despite situations & circumstances, as often as possible, to achieve great successes in life & be a reason for strong accomplishments.

Stay Inspired & Keep Walking!

YOU decide the TITLE!

It has been quite sometime since I brought myself to this page, to write down something that will express what I think & feel and eventually help my readers gain some insight into principles of life & install a few extra feathers into the wings of wisdom...

May be what caused the delay itself was the cause for upgradation of software on my head, to be able to bring something totally deep & fresh. The wisdom this post brings along friends might be something you may not expect from an inspirational blog like mine, but I believe a true inspirational article is one that prepares you for hard times than just give you faith over winning the easy ones.

This blog is an output of the most challenging & demanding time of my life, on the personal & professional front, & I triumphed over it. Success is not just the story you tell on the professional front. Unless your personal side of the story is filled with love, care, friends & family, the success seems to be hollow & loneliness seems to follow. The biography might sound exciting, thrilling & inspirational to read, but autobiography showing the reality of your feelings will include a chapter, not just a page, to tell a tale how lonely the man was when he reached the top.

Hence it is essential to strike the balance in life on the personal & professional front. You need a friend who comforts you, that family which supports you like a floor, pillar, walls, ceiling & a wing (as per your requirement), that special someone of your life - your spouse or yet to be, those colleagues who just love to work with you and your mentors who would love to guide you looking at your commitment levels. You NEED all of them. It is quite important to build attitudes and time schedules which can cater to them all. Majority cannot prioritise and hence their stories impact a smaller part of the world. People who fight hard to strike this balance, fail miserably a number of times, but eventually when they come out glorious have life stories which can lead generations to come.

But amidst all these efforts of yours, trying hard to strike balance between love for work, love for family, friends, hobbies, passions & other things, there are phases which can cruel, hard, devastating & very unexpected, which set things off track for you in one shot.

Imagine changing the orbit of the earth in a blink of the eye, it would simply mean different calendar, different schedules for day & night, different types of weather cycles, climatic conditions etc. May be all of it may mean a planet with no life at all. But the challenge is to still be full of life even when the orbit has been changed & achieving that is the highest state of leadership. Some incidents of your life, may throw you into an orbit, that may leave you lifeless & barren, but it is then that the lesson in this blog should come back to your mind, & you should be able to tell yourself that there is hope, Simply because You are not a planet!!!

Sit down with yourself, put down all that's worth living for still, all those who still love you, no matter how much they do, all those people who still expect from you, all those things still worth fighting for, all those dreams yet unfulfilled & believe me these seeds sown on the land with changed conditions shall bring a new era of plantations & vegetation, new life, new atmospheric conditions & color shall seem to everywhere once again. Never the same as before but yet bright & beautiful. As once the young inspirational speaker, Sujit Lalwani quoted in one of his talks "The purpose of life is not to keep repeating history, The purpose is to keep creating history"

To conclude I summarise it simply - "everything is not under our control but choosing to react to every situtation with a heart that is crying or with a heart that is still trying is definitely under our control."

I request my reader to title this blog, because I believe it is something that reflects each of your stories and hence I could not name it "My life". Its OUR LIFE rather I would name it - just "LIFE". Waiting to read the titles you give to this one!

There is nothing called HARD WORK - its just focus, mind-set and feelings.

Majority of us think of physical strain when we think of hard work. I do not agree with this, It may or may not be physical strain. Well before some work or acitivity can tire us up, the feeling on the mind that we carry, having convinced ourselves, that we are sure to get really tired, tires us up completely, leaving us with no zeal to pursue what we want to accomplish.

Majority of the times the hard work is not actually the effort we input to do something, its instead the effort to fight these negative emotions and still do the work we intend to.

Half the battle can be won, if we can avoid these thoughts at the first place, that we are going to work hard or we already have worked really hard for the day or for the week. Once we have eliminated these thoughts about how much needs to be done, or how much was done, half the path is tread.

The other half can be tread effortlessly, if one can enjoy the work he/she is doing. Its just about filling yourself with enthusiasm and energy and re-inforcing each fact you love about what you just about to do. In simple words: "love what you do, dont do what you dont love, but when you are doing something you better love it."

Discovering/figuring out the interesting sides to your work is the task you need to accomplish before you set out into action. Once this is done, repeatedly doing what you love and that what peps you up, even 10% of the time, can make 100% of your work feel super interesting to you.

The last thing to eliminate to accomplish things at hand to perfection is to avoid distractions and that happens by focusing and re-focusing. Its like a straight road with a left turn at a point on its path. Our actual route is along left turn, but the sign boards in the distant scene of Mc Donalds attract us on the running straight road, we feel we have nt lost speed, but we would have lost focus for sure.

So time and again, look into your map and re-focus yourself towards your goals and everything you do should speeden up the process of reaching your goals!

NOTE: Goals do enhance and grow as we expose ourselves to more and more things in our day to day lives, Hence timely confirmations of the route map become extremely inevitable for success.

Patience is the key to success!

"A mighty success follows only after a mighty test of patience.
Failure is sure to have been preceeded by failure of patience."

* Amount of Success in life:
S(L) = k x e^(t x T^(n))

* Amount of success in particular dimension:
S(D)= k x e^(t x T^(1))= k x e^(t x T)

t=length of time for which patience was tested.
T=toughness of the test.
n=No of dimensions in which your patience was tested like family, career etc.(n>=1)

Amount of success is exponentially related to the length of time for which your patience was tested and how tough the test was. Whenever you are being tested hard and longer - just remember to keep going. The Left hand side of the equation will increase for sure and as the test keeps going longer and harder, the reward multiplies.

There comes a time when the break point of every dimension is reached & the time & toughness cease to grow. Thats where god loses patience and wants to reward you. The rewards start materialising. Miracles are product of this equation when our Patience does not break until God loses patience. Wherever and whenever our patience takes a pause to resume, we are rewarded our results.

The greater the pause and longer the dip we take back on the curve. Ensure your breaks are small and they dont pull you down and you are back into activity.

This blog is just an output of my love for physics and patience I have to conjure ideas and put them into mathematics, trying to satisfy all expected/unexpected conditions. Since I need 2 end the blog, my patience could not last until I could
materialise every aspect of this equation/theory completely.

The rewards would be given right away. I resume to this theory, and will contemplate deeper. This pause shall be as short as the amount of time you would take to reward me good comments:)

Anyways, thanks for the patience of reading this blog.

ON a serious note: "Patience is the key to success at every step of our life."
