tejThoughts

     Based on a Book by Andy Frisella, this challenge seems to be interesting. This one helps us stay hydrated, away from junk and alcohol, flexible exercise plan and reading. These are one among many goals I set up every year or start of every month, but fail to achieve. So, on 20th of February, I'm starting this challenge. More on the challenge below. The challenges are: Exercise twice each day for 45 minutes. (one must be outdoors) Drink 4 liters of water per day. Pick a diet or eating plan and stick to that plan. No Junk. Read a minimum of 10 pages every day of growth mindset material or self-help book. Take one progress photo each day.      Some rules seems to be vague and working out everyday without rest for 75 days is not a good idea, but it also gives us room to choose an exercise that might be easy to do everyday.      The main goal here is to achieve Discipline which once done, will help achieve other aspirations.

 Decided to make major changes in life to be more productive and a better human. The first change that comes to mind is to start reading books and write about things again. 

In love with this image. I am using this image as one of my motivational images. This beautiful image symbolizes so many things. The main one being the courage to take a step towards something we believe in or to stand against something you think is not right.  My man went grocery shopping and while coming back, took a small step that made him an historic icon. All it takes is a single step towards something we believe in and face the consequences of it (good or bad) later. The longer we look into this picture, the more we think.

It’s been a while since I wrote something. The reasons are the following. Lazy. Social life. Physical health. Career growth. (Partially)   The first reason being the main one, I’ve been busy doing the other mentioned ones quiet a lot. Nothing makes you question your career choice more than facing financial problems along with mental stress and unworthiness of the job. Since then, there are few changes that were made which are helping me reach my goal, slowly.  The one thing I picked up while reading “The Atomic Habits” book are these small changes which adds up to our growth. Planning to stick to these changes till the goal is reached. Surrounding myself with positive, inspiring people is also helping out a lot. Hope this continues and will be back with a bang very soon now that I’ve started writing again.

     One of the constants of our lives is change. Everyone change. Some for good, some for bad. Would we continue our relationship with someone whom we have judged to be a bad person?      Like most of the things, there are multiple ways in which this can be handled. The best way of dealing with things changes from person to person, but there cannot be a Right way to deal with things as it will again, change with perspective.      The best way is to deal with life is to learn about ourselves. Understand what we want, what makes us happy and gives joy.      Life is tough as it is but if we're stuck doing things we don't like, hang out with people with whom we fake our personality... just complicates things.       Since we've established that life is tough and has it's own problems, finding / making new problems would not help fix the Life problem. The newly created problems might mask the big picture, but ev...

“You do not need a therapist if you own a motorcycle, any kind of motorcycle!”   The quote pretty much says it all. Many people buy motorcycles just to travel from one place to another. Very few buy it to enjoy the rides, visit new places and feel the positive vibes when the wind hits our face. I was one among those who brought it to ignore the daily mundane routines and enjoy small rides. It is a beautiful feel when you and your bike are on the same page while on road. When you read many self-help books, you can relate small things that happen to you and make an example out of it. A thousand obstacles comes in our way while riding a motorcycle, it is important that we stay focused all the time. Even if you follow all traffic safety rules, it just takes one idiot on road to fuck up things for you. (just like in our lives) We see people ride bikes very fast. We see people with smaller bikes, go slow. “Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly.” Reaching the d...

Since we parted ways after college, my friends and I rarely meet. When we meet or connect over the phone, we spend majority of the time complaining about how broken the organization  we work is, how unfair our manager treats us and how we are working / doing something we do not like. It is very rare to meet a person who says that they're actually enjoying the work they do everyday.  The compromise we do here is, getting paid for doing this work that we hate. I'm u sing the word HATE cause ,  Doing something we are not interested leads to Not liking that some work we do leads  to HATE the work we do. We develop hate, frustration, anger, losing interest in things, absent minded and other beautiful "qualities"  over the time doing this work.  When folks to whom you report to, asks / demands you to work more or do the work faster, we will show off  these new qualities to the ones around us, which really is messed up. They deserve better.  "Mispla...
