Time keeps on passing and it only stops when our time is over in this world. People come and go and it will continue till the end of time. Many of us have big egos and think the world revolves around us, but time tells us that we are only deceiving us by thinking that.

Each one of us gets a different length of time in this world to write the exam. Each of us have different exams to write and may be based on the type of exam, the length of time is decided.

Sometimes we hold on to the past so tightly that it becomes hard for us to move forward. Instead of carrying the burden of the mistakes (which we all do), we should get lessons out of them and leave the burden in the past. The lessons we extract from our mistakes, empowers us and makes us stronger for the next challenges in our life. So next time we make a mistake, celebrate and don’t hesitate to share as it was the incident that helped you grow.

Our enemies are also a blessing as they give us motivation to continue trying and be strong. The challenges they give us, enable us to thrive in our lives.

Maybe in the past it was ok to stay where you are your whole life and you were ok. People used to do the same job their whole life and were satisfied but now if you don’t learn and grow continuously, there is no place for you.

After covid it became clear how important it is to balance and how the imbalance impacts our mental health. The importance of connecting with friends and family is also part of that balance. Networking is important to grow in your career but it is not enough to survive and thrive.

Our thinking is everything, we do what we think. That is why it is very important to make sure to guard your thinking and do not let any negative thoughts reside in it as it will become your limitation.

Many of us like to plan and we want life to go as we planned as it gives us a sense of security. But sometimes we need to let go of this sense of security and be outside of our comfort zone, to receive what life is wanting to give us, happily.

Fear is the unseen force that keeps us from moving forward and enjoying the gifts that life has to offer that can be unwrapped only if we are fearless. When we keep our eyes shut in fear or ignorance we are choosing to not get the best things in life. It is our own choice and it is silly to blame anyone else for it. Choose to be fearless, continue learning and be prepared to receive the gifts life has to offer.

Struggle is what makes us stronger to be ready for the great things life has to offer. Procrastination and laziness keeps us stuck and miserable. Nothing great comes without hard work and struggle.

If you want something, start giving that to others and you will get it too. For example, if you want to get recognition for your work, start recognizing people for their work. If you want to earn more money, start sharing your money with others and it will increase.

We need to keep in mind that our Creator loves us. Everyone goes through different experiences that shape their coming life for them. There are some lessons we have to learn and there are some strengths we need, to continue in our present and to step into our future. Always look at adversaries as stepping stones to an amazing future. Think good and good will happen. Always expect the best from your Creator.

If we are happy all the time, life will lose the meeting for us. So ups and downs are necessary. After every down an up will come and that should be enough to keep us hopeful. If we extract gems of learning from our downs instead of blaming and being miserable, our next up will be higher than the last up we had.

Everything comes with a price and frankly if we get something for free, that does not hold the value, in our heart as compared to something which we worked hard to get.

Most of the time we get stuck at the start and we keep on thinking and over thinking. At that time if we remind ourselves that if we start with ignoring the voice making us double minded, we will find the path that leads us to our destination. If we do not start and keep on planning we will never reach the destination. It is a confirmed failure if we hand over our control to fear.

Proper preparation prevents poor performance. When we are prepared we are more confident and we can deal with anything that comes our way.

Let’s reflect on the year 2022 and after inspecting decide to adapt in 2023 with consistency. We can be consistent only when we have clarity of our vision. Have your vision written down and look at it frequently to help us remain consistent. This is my plan for the end of this year. What is your plan?

Please share your learnings for 2022 and also share this blog with your friends and family and any one else who can learn from it. If I can help make life easier for anyone through my blog, that will be a win for me.

Happy new year!
