Being Practical

Life is a mixture of feelings. It is full of both ups and downs. All the problems need not be paid attention to. Some problems are miniscule and it is better not to disturb one's peace of mind. Major problems should be tackled with determination. There is no use of cribbing, either face it or forget it.

Moderation between superiority and inferiority complex.

When you feel superiority complex, just look around and see there are people better than you in each and every field. When you feel inferiority complex, just think about people who are not as good as you. Life is all about balancing these two and living moderately. 

Be what you are, do not try to be different. But keep on learning from others and improving yourself..

If you get distracted by something or feel like quitting your goal, just think about the efforts and time you have invested till now

Why so much focus on minuscule negativity instead of umpteen positive things?

I find it difficult to understand this part of human nature. We tend to focus too much on rarely seen negative part of a person or situation. We ignore all the positive things about the person or situation. Even we do not spare ourselves from this habit. Probably because we give in to the momentary feelings of the mind. Mind is irrational and we fail to understand it and the feelings that arise in it. Trying to put oneself in other person's shoes and reflecting on the situation may be helpful. Giving time for rationality to prevail and letting go off the momentary feelings would make us ignore small negative things and make positive things visible. But you should be alert enough that other person does not take advantage of you time and again. It is better to disconnect from such a person rather than being connected and losing peace of mind.  

Sometimes we have too much expectations from someone. If that person is not able to fulfill those expectations, we tend to think that he/she is mean and does not care. Instead we should try to understand his/her situation. If he/she really cares for you and is not able to fulfill some expectations, there would definitely be some or the other reason behind that.

Addiction to be liked by others is same as addiction for drugs

Life is not about achieving perfection

Life is not an objective thing. There is no perfect way to live it. You should lead life according to your way. People may try to change you or give you opinion on how to lead life. Accept those opinions which you think are genuine. Do not bother rest of them. You cannot stop them from saying things but you can ignore that.

Sometimes one is too much obsessed in logic or perfection in life. But as you know, life itself is uncertain. Give your best shot at things. Learn lessons from them and improve yourself. Do not we love uncertainties in stories. We should enjoy the uncertainties in life too. The beauty of life lies in preparing yourself better for the future. Health, relationships, rest and peace of mind that serve as the means of relaxation in this pursuit must not be ignored.
