It feels as if with the fast-running time people have learned to speed up so well that they somewhere have forgotten their roots, their society, their relatives, and their family, and somewhere have lost their own self. In this modern era, people chase money so madly that they see nothing other than PROFIT & LOSS.
The most common phrase "humre vakt me toh.." signifies much more than just a sentence with few words. It indicates its old lost memories, the lovely unforgettable bonds, the feeling of oneness, and above all the simplicity of the era which never let anyone feel alone or aloof. Many want to become billionaires the very next morning. Sometimes people with financial goals forget the ultimate goals of their lives.
Human beings still need a person to talk to, share, and enjoy life with. In the competition of life, we forget that we have left behind the ones with whom we need to share happiness with the ones because of whom we are in such a race, the ones with whom we learn to survive in the race, and the ones who make even a failure a beautiful journey. Sometimes losing friends is even much better than losing them.
An individual may feel as if he/she is doing well in life with better earnings but, the actual report card is seen on the day the person dies. Rarely someone remembers your salaries or returns but they definitely do remember the smiles you bring to their faces.
Human relations are the fuel in the journey of life. With the passing of time, we are listening to more terms like:
work-life balance
me time
family time
self-care quality time and many more.
but have you ever thought about why we need such terms?
The reason is that with the passing of time, we have forgotten the priorities of our lives. Like the work reminders, we must have the relation reminders that,
"THEY NEED YOU, YOUR TIME, NOT YOUR MONEY."
The increase in the number of old-age homes, the number of depression cases, the youth getting into addictions and feelings of being left outs, and the increase in divorce cases are the effects that we are experiencing because we have forgotten that we need our people standing beside us, cheering, hoping, and praying for us.
The frustrations of our lives have become the flames that are burning our hearts.
Here are some tips to keep life living [things that "too" are important in chasing success]=:
Give time to yourselves: By this, I don't mean to corner yourselves from everyone instead learn to spend some healthy with yourselves. Initially, you might overthink about things out there but soon you would love the transformations coming your way. When you spend some time with yourselves you come to know your own weaknesses and strengths. This is the time to analyze your mistakes, plan for your future and avoid the distractions coming your way. This way you would energize yourselves and keep life and its journey way more beautiful. This is because we are our best friends or the worst enemy of our own selves.
Play a sport regularly: It's not necessary that you play to win or compete but it's necessary to keep the enthusiast alive in you. It does maintain friends' bonds alive when you guys are the kids and forget about the life stresses and tensions. It's like channelizing your anger, frustration, and stress and detoxing your body and mind.
Decrease your screen time: The massive change in technology has brought far away people closer and has connected communities like never before. But it has reduced the physical activity of an individual and has increased the screentime even amongst the kids. When it comes to social media and time consumption, I think many of you would relate to it. Even if you would feel refreshed and happy after it then still it is worth it. Seeing others' happy stories and cursing our situation is a major problem for many. Unfortunately, that's the dark side of social media people show up on some things and actually are suffering from something else. At an early age, people start feeling insecure and doubt their self-worth. Instead, spare this time for things you love to do.
Have a meal with your family: The benefit of spending time with your family is it keeps life going. Wherever you stop there is a push of motivation that your family gives. Seeing their happy face makes me even happier. You would be fighting with them, would be getting irritated by them but still, you love them the most. This is the importance of primary relations. Their immense love for you makes you feel so which no currency can get for you. These moments are really priceless.
Keep your hobbies alive: I do consider hobbies like meditation. It's my strong opinion that hobbies act like medicines in the disturbed mind. They themselves give you a sense of joy and calm in yourself. To keep them alive is really important to keep yourselves alive and to enjoy the process of life. In monetary terms it might be non-productive or invaluable but, these hobbies do have an important role when it comes to individuals' life happiness. Normal routine after a period of time makes us feel stagnant.
Celebrate every little moment of life: The happy moments of life are real blessings from God. It's human's nature to chase more things. Somewhere we do lack patience and gratefulness. Actually, we must be thankful for all those moments of smiles. If the small problem makes us sad then why can't the little happy moments make us smile the whole day?
Remember one thing CHASING MONEY IS ADDICTIVE AND IT HAS ITS TRAP EVERYWHERE. Once you get trapped you have no way out. Time never stops or comes back anyways so get out of the trap and equally enjoy the life journey.
The required wealth for all human beings is food, shelter, clothes, and education rest are in the race of gathering more papers. They forget that God has blessed us with a beautiful life with a bigger vision and motive. So, enjoy the journey of life with your near and dear ones because those are the ones who would feel your heart with LOVE.
