Fast and busy life. Responsibilities, duties, needs, wants. Lots to fulfill. Available mechanism: The body, the mind, the spirit and the energies. Yet, we see an increased rate of abuse, knowingly or unknowingly termed as “Have to” and “No other choice”… This is indeed a sad state we are in. I term this as abuse, because that’s what we are doing to ourselves. Every second we breathe must always be dedicated to exploring and exploiting our strengths and potential to the maximum. Not putting up a show to stay relevant in front of the people you associate with.

What I feel is needed is clarity of actions which will define and re-direct our energies to observe, learn, outline and execute, feedback and grow again.

Another point to note is that all our ‘have-to-do’ ones will get accommodated when we learn to include. Every time we create a distance as to why something is not ours to do, we encourage exclusion. When we do this, we feel spaced out from our close and loved ones and assume all is a huge responsibility and possibly burdening. Expand the ambit of love, care and include all the ones close to you in it. You will notice that suddenly, empathy and hence execution becomes non cumbersome or non fussy. You may not like that your time goes out for something other than you, but you will not feel bad doing the work for others.

We have to pay close attention to who we sculpt ourselves into. Always ask the question “Am I the best version of myself ?”. If the answer is no, which normally will be the case unless we have divine entities amongst us 🙂 then strive to do 1% better than your former self every day. Look at your actions, your daily works – see if you can streamline, improvise, eliminate so that you become more efficient. It maybe how you deal with your emotions – anger, frustration etc… it maybe how you conduct your day – time utilization and time wasters; it maybe how you regulate your food habits, friends circle, your interaction with family, your involvement with your child or maybe how you are building your own self.

Your life needs close attention from no one else but you. And this has to happen every moment you breathe. Like many say, this is one short life, live it. I would just add to say: This is one short life, live it every moment in the best way that you can…
