Dear Friends and Holistic Leaders
Divine Greetings
Couple of days back I received a thank you email from a reader Name Dimple. She said our writings helped motivate her through the recovery the difficult process following a serious car accident last year. Although her entire story was heartbreaking and inspiring, this one line made me pause and think:
"The happiest moment of my life is still that split- a year ago when, I crushed under the weight of 2000 k.g car, I realized my husband and 9-year-old boy were out of the vehicle and absolutely OK."
Very bad situations like this force us to acknowledge what's truly important to us. In Dimple's case, it was her husband and son. And in the remainder of her email, she talks about how her family spends more time together now, simply sharing stories, telling jokes, and appreciating each other's company. "The accident made us realize how much time we had been wasting every day on things that were not important, which prevented us from spending quality time with each other," she said.
It's hard to think about a story like Dimple's and not ask yourself: "What do I need to stop wasting time on?"
Here are some things to consider, that I have been examining in my own life:
1. Distractions that keep you from special moments with special people. – Pay attention to the little things, because when you really miss someone you miss the little things the most, like just laughing together. Go for long walks. Indulge in great conversations. Count your mutual blessings. Let go for a little while and just BE together.
2. Compulsive busyness. – Schedule time every day to not be busy. Have dedicated downtime – clear points in the day to reflect, rest, and recharge. Don't fool yourself; you're not so busy that you can't afford a few minutes of sanity.
3. Negative thinking about our current situation. – Life is like a mirror; we get the best results when we smile. So we talk about our blessings more than we talk about our problems.
4. Focus on the positives, and soon the negatives will be harder to see.
5. The desire for everything you don't have. – No, you won't always get exactly what you want, but remember this: There are lots of people who will never have what you have right now. The things you take for granted, someone else is praying for. Happiness never comes to those who don't appreciate what they already have.
6. Comparing yourself to everyone else. – Social comparison is the thief of happiness. You could spend a lifetime worrying about what others have, but it wouldn't get you anything
7. Thinking about who you were or what you had in the past. – You're not the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or a week ago. You're always growing. Experiences don't stop. That's life.
8. Worrying about the mistakes you have made. – It's OK if you mess up; that's how you get wiser. Give yourself a break. Don't give up. Great things take time, and you're getting there. Let your mistakes be your motivation, not your excuses.
9. A life path that doesn't feel right. – Life is to be enjoyed, not endured. Success in life is for those who are excited about where they are going. It's about walking comfortably in your own shoes, in the direction of YOUR dreams.
10. Everyone else's definition of success and happiness. – You simply can't base your idea of success and happiness on other people's opinions and expectations.
11. Trying to impress everyone. –No matter how you live, someone will be disappointed. So just live your truth and be sure YOU are not the one who is disappointed in the end.
12.All the fears holding you back. – Fear is a feeling, not a fact. Change and grow. In the end, there is only one thing that makes a dream completely impossible to achieve: Lack of action based on the fear of failure.
13.Doubting and second-guessing yourself. – When in doubt just take the next small step. Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of our life.
14.People who continuously dump on your dreams. –Don't let others crush your dreams. Do just what they say you can't do, and don't pay attention to their negativity again.
15. Thinking the perfect time will come. – You can't always wait for the perfect moment. Because life is too short to wonder what could have been.
16.Band-Aids and temporary fixes. –Deal with problems directly before they deal with your happiness.
17. Other people's mistakes and oversights. – Today, be tolerant of people's mistakes and oversights. Sometimes good people make bad choices. It doesn't mean they're bad; it simply means they are human.
18.Any hateful thoughts at all. –Treat everyone with kindness and respect, even those who are rude to you – not because they are nice, but because you are. Make kindness a daily ritual
19.Every point in time other than right now. – Don't cry over the past, it's gone. Don't stress too much about the future, it hasn't arrived.
20. Do your best to live NOW and make this moment worth living.
Your turn…
Truth be told, the most important decision you will ever make is what you do with the time that is given to you. So let's revisit the question What do you need to stop wasting time on?
Just leave your comment and share your thoughts.
