What do you want from your life?

Published on January 31, 2009 in Life. 6 Comments Tags: happiness, Life, purpose.

Yesterday I went to a Training Programme on “New Age Marketing” by Prof. Dr. P.K. Ghosh of IIM Ahmedabad conducted by HCCI.

I really liked the way of teaching of these IIM guys they don’t teach u but they spark out ideas from your dead grey cells, every time he focused upon our conceptualisation, creative thinking and digging harder.

before that training he sent a thick study material with a case study to go through just like IIM or Harvard or any other B school do, while I was going through that a day before yesterday, I stuck upon a question – “what’s your strength and weaknesses”, it’s true that zillions times we mould and prepare this question for interview according to it’s Job Discription.

But if I really have to dig harder and find out my actual SWs then I find it’s very tough job although it’s all about me, where as when we are asked to find out SWOT of other then we easily jot down many points just like that but when it’s about us we just stuck up may be we just don’t wanna accept our inner true self.

after that there was question what do u wanna from ur life? answer in long term goal (15 year) and short term (year) well i jot down under health, financial, family, social, personal category still i’m not sure about what i really want from my life…

I mean even if I achieve all the goals, I’m not sure I’ll be happy, cause happiness is something that I believe you won’t get by accomplishing certain goals, it’s okay that when we achieve some mile stones in life we do get some happiness but that happiness is not long lasting, it lasts for few moments one night party then it’s over, some hang over do left but again from third day you feel emptiness you feel for achieving something more.

When do we get sense of contentment? when there is no space left and we feel full, full of happiness which lasts forever, I believe we never get that unless we get enlightened which only few people achieves.

I believe we can get that sense of contentment, fulfillment, every lasting happiness…. if we don’t run to fill that void inside cause we can never be able to fill it, the more we try the more it’ll get deeper.

For the 98% of time we live in our past and future which never exists and we loose our present which is the only real part of our life, all the void and unhappiness arises from past and future but if we live in present moment then our all pain of past and uncertainty of future just go away and that way we can enjoy our life, fill it with ever lasting happiness as long as we live in now.

I think I only want to be happy in life, live in moment now, live my life fully.

"Life Ain't About How Hard You Hit"

I was watching Rocky Balboa this evening, rented from Bigflix my friends said It’s ain’t that good but I wanted to give a shot cause I’ve seen all five series of Rocky and surely wanna go for it, somehow missed it on theaters, on HBO so thought of renting and it really went with my expectations. I liked last one as other series cause it gives some kind of inner strength, an inspiration to beat all the odds. I loved following lines a lot when Rocky Balboa’s son asked him not to fight cause people will make fool of him and lots of other hard stuff, in reply he said following words -

Rocky Balboa - “You ain’t believe this, but you used to fit right here (on palm). I’d hold you up and say to your monther: “this kid’s gonna be the best kid in the world. This kid’s gonna be somebody better than anybody ever knew” and you grew up good and wonderful, it was great just watching. Every day was like a privilege.

then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did. but somewhere along the line, you changed, you stopped being you.

you let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you’re no good and when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. I’ll tell you something you already know.

The world ain’t all sinshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are, it’ll beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit, It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.

That’s how winning is done!

Now if you know what you’re worth, go get what you’re worth, you gotta be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers, saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody! Cowards do that, and that ain’t you! you are better than that!…. Until you start believing in yourself, you ain’t gonna have a life.”

Bottom Line is

“Never give up, never stop believing, no matter how hard you get hit, just keep moving forward”
