After 2 years of unemployment, I was desperately looking for a job. But in the interview board, the interviewer told me:- Sorry, we need more skilled and experienced people. I proposed to a girl, she told me, I will marry her who is very handsome, attractive and very successful in her career. You are a good person but you are not that kind. Throughout my life, I struggled with depression. I failed, was rejected, and humiliated many times. I accept my failure. I decided to take a break from my life, refresh my memory, change my life.
For a year, I have been following 7 rules to improve my life.
My life, my rules:- For liking my career, I am not influenced by the society. Society prefers high paying and secure jobs. Moreover, most people in the society are running after money. All the career advice I heard from my parents, relatives and friends. Then, I follow my inner self. I have a wish and I am working towards it. I always choose my interests and sacrifices to choose a career. I do what I love. There will be no regrets in the near future, because I am responsible for my actions. I started doing what I love most.
Meditation is my strength:- Mental strength is very important. We always focus on physical strength. But mental energy, planning our lives, directing our lives. I meditate daily to keep my life simple and away from the craziness. It gives me mental comfort. Despite failing hundreds of times, I am fighting every problem in life. To work against the tide, meditation gives me courage and determination.
No more virtual life, only real life exists:- Now I give more emphasis on real life than virtual life. I have limited my online activities. I used to spend too much time behind the computer screen and on the smartphone. So, I changed this habit. I spend less time on the Internet. Also, I started traveling, trying new things, and talking to strangers.
Imagine seeing life in moments before death:- All materialistic thoughts, fears, aspirations, disappointments, failures will seem meaningless before death. One day we will surely die. So, what are you waiting for? Take the right decision for your life, never wait for approval from others. One right decision can change your life. Whenever I am faced with a problem, I try to think like this. Then, everything seems clear to me. I choose the correct one.
Removing myself from the rat-race:- I have removed myself from the rat-race of life. This does not mean that I am defeated by life's difficulties. I don't like to compete with other people. All my competition is with myself. Every day I try to surpass my previous day's performance. I am running after my desire. To reach my goal, I am determined.
Being anonymous to help:- I love to help anonymously. It makes me happy. More importantly, I always avoid showing off. Despite financial constraints, I love to pay anonymously to families of poor boys and girls. Giving and helping is the best part of my life. I feel extremely happy to see the smiling faces of those poor children.
Writing 10 Gratitude Lists Every Day:- I am grateful to God for everything I have got from life. Every day, I write 10 gratitude lists in my journal. I am alive, have good health, have food in fridge to eat, have rented a flat to live in, have MBA degree and job, have independent life, get blessings from strangers, have aim in life, have access to 24 hours internet, to read There are hundreds of books.
