If we keep on living our lives like an average and common man and keep on doing what we are doing without any sense of accomplishment and hard work then we are doomed to perish into obscurity. We will be falling into the trap of comfort-zone and will always have poor skills. Life must be based on developing and earning skills. If you are exercising or doing gym then an average person just goes and start practices on his own or whatever the coach there teaches. He will not take time to think about the exercises he is doing. He will not think a single time reading about some book on how leg muscles work, what are they made of. He will take time to read his favorite novel or chat to his friends on internet messenger. He will take time to go to his favorite multiplex or shopping mall and kill his time but he will not spend 10% of that money on reading about what he is doing in gym. Thats one. People eat whatever they like, whatever is tasty. Cold drinks, burgers, pizzas, all fast-junk tops the list of a common person. They never put few minutes a day to think why this food is so tasty. Even if someone tells them how harmful that food is then they give them “Get out of my sight” look. They will carry expensive mobiles and audio players and will lack understanding of the basic usage of those functions, will not think why do I need this instrument. They will marry, have kids and run a full fledged home without having a basic first-aid kit and a toolbox required to do everyday maintenance of house.
General public always wonders why some people become so much successful in life. Must be their luck ? Well, luck does have its part I believe and I believe karam (wrongly pronounced as Karma) has a bigger role in that . What I felt in my experience is we can accomplish much more in life if we really want it. I feel like that true way of life is developing skills in every area, whether its correcting the way you iron your clothes or whether the way you give aid or whether the way you read books or whether the way you think about life. I think accomplishing all the tasks that are on pending list for so many years life can be finished and that method can be summed up in this mathematical equation:
Accomplish Fast = S1 + S2 + S3 + …. + SN
where S = skill, from 1 to N number of areas in life.
This is just half of the method. Another half (first half) is your strong desire to do so. If you strongly want to tackle the problems in your life and keep on thinking about how to make your life better, keep on analyzing your bad habits, then over time you will find ways to solve your problems e.g. you will come across people who already solved these issues, you will come across some book that will be talking what you were looking for. I don’t know how it works but mind does have the capability to show you the way. Point is you have to walk on it and remember you may not be right all the time (you will not be), accept your mistakes for you want to improve your your life, you want to make it a reflection of happiness and satisfaction, not a synonym of suffering-mechanism.
