Hello guys, I have been busy so I couldn't find the time to blog. But since I got the day off from work, I decided to think about some "life lessons" and share them with you. They are in no particular order, they are just a reflection of a lot of stuff that has been going on in my life recently.


1.Be grateful for this moment. Take a moment to think about all the good in our lives. You are happy, and the Universe is happy. Gratitude increases your abundance.The source of most of your frustrations and anxiety are the result of worrying about the future, or dwelling on the past.


2.Surround yourself with people who inspire you. Be it at school, college work or any other part of life, Mentors are essential, however you've got to also find a relate to inspiring people that you see everyday. Its one thing to be inspired by Sachin Tendulkar and Steve jobs RIP but people like them live in another world. Find someone closer to you. My inspiration is my mom and dad . I want them to be involved in everything I do, including my work and my passions. Many of my fellow bloggers also inspire me and guide me in moments of doubt.


3.Everyone has problemsThere are very few unique personal problems. Chances are millions of people have gone through whatever issue you may have. Chances are at least one of those people is much closer than you think. The Problem is we think any issues we may have are unique and we assume those close to us wouldn't understand. Wrong.


4.No one values the things that are free in lifeI don't know why, it must be human nature. We value things more if we have to pay(money/time/energy) for them. Be careful when you give keep giving free stuff to your friends or relatives. After a certain time, they will start to expect it.


5.There will always be haters No matter what you do or how much you give, there will always be haters.There will always be someone to oppose you . Get it through your head that, in life you cannot please everyone. As the actor Bill cosby once said "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody". I made a decision to rid my life(both worldly and online) of any consistently negative, non-constructive forces. If you want to hate, go get your reaction someplace else.


6.Don't over think every decision in life It is important to carefully scrutinize decisions like marriage and things regarding health, but please don't waste 30 minutes trying to decide what you will wear to office or college. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. Don't waste time intensely researching about something before buying it. 90% of research/data-gathering is a waste of time. I've found this true in my personal life and I've certainly found it true in my work. Stop talking… stop thinking… stop planning… start doing.


7.Be kind to everyone"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see"-Mark Twain . What a wonderful quote by Mark Twain. Don't wait for people to be kind to you, show them how.When I was young, I admired clever people. As I have grown older, I have started admiring kind people more. Kindness, like a boomerang, always returns.


8.Believe in yourselfBelieving in yourself is the greatest gift you can give yourself.Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Have faith in your own abilities, work hard, and there is nothing you cannot accomplish. I believe that God has put gifts and talents and ability inside every one of us. When you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you're a person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any situation.


well that's it for now.see you l8r
