Random Thoughts: Part 5

I’m so proud of myself when I look back at everything I’ve had to go through. I claim that I have only just begun, and there is still a long way to go.

I’m not implying that you shouldn’t have difficult times in life; instead, I believe that you won’t be burdened with a load to carry unless there is a desire inside or an opportunity to learn from it.

I feel fortunate, yet I still do. However, there was no moment when I had a heart-to-heart conversation about various issues and how to handle life. The reality is that life does not come with a handbook. We must all go through it to learn how it functioned and why it worked

The truth is that expecting someone to provide you with a precise blueprint of life and how they have figured it out is a fallacy. Someone can’t assist you to the point where you don’t have to do anything yourself. It’s an easy method

The reality is that life is telling us – How would you figure out how to get out of this maze? You’re just meat in a suit if there’s no way.

Many of you will undoubtedly disagree with these standards and shortcuts. After all, they are the rules of someone who has learned everything independently. I can tell you that they have worked for me thus far.

1. Inexperienced says, “I don’t have time.” Experienced counters with, “This is the only opportunity I’ll have.”– I remember when I was younger and would complain about not having enough time to do what I wanted. My mom would always say, “This is the only opportunity you’ll have.” At the time, I didn’t really understand what she meant. But now that I’m older, I realize that she was right. We only have a limited amount of time on this earth, and we need to make the most of it. That’s why it’s so important to seize every opportunity that comes our way. Because if we don’t, we’ll never know what could have been. So the next time you find yourself saying, “I don’t have time,” think about all of the opportunities you could be missing out on.
2. Those who believe that money isn’t necessary to be happy may consider the following: When bills for food, clothing, and a mortgage is due, there is no way to pay them with a prayer– I used to believe that money wasn’t necessary to be happy. I thought that as long as I had my health and a roof over my head, I would be content. However, I quickly learned that this was not the case. When bills for food, clothing, and a mortgage is due, there is no way to pay them with a prayer. Even if you’re not materialistic, it’s impossible to deny the role that money plays in our lives. Without it, we would be unable to meet our basic needs. The next time someone tells you that money can’t buy happiness, ask them how they plan to pay their rent. Chances are, they’ll quickly change their tune.
3. Wisdom demands that we take tiny steps forward every day–  I make mistakes all the time, and I often find myself questioning my decisions. However, one piece of wisdom that I have always try to live by is the idea that we should take tiny steps forward every day. No single day is going to change our lives, but over time, the cumulative effect of these small steps can be enormous. This philosophy has served me well in both my personal and professional life. Whenever I am feeling lost or unsure of myself, I try to remind myself that all I need to do is take one small step in the right direction. And slowly but surely, I always end up exactly where I need to be.
4. Sometimes simple is better than elegant; sometimes, plain is preferable to complicated– In my opinion, sometimes simple is better than elegant and sometimes plain is preferable to complicated. I think this because elegant can mean fussy and complicated can mean difficult to understand. Sometimes people try to make things more complicated than they need to be when a simple solution would suffice. A good example of this is when people use unnecessarily long words when shorter ones would do just as well. Another example is when people add extra, unnecessary steps to a process when the process could be completed more quickly and easily with fewer steps. In my opinion, sometimes it’s best to keep things simple and straightforward.
5. If you’ve ever been scared about your own thinking, consider how your comments may impact others if you don’t think before speaking, since it’s all about the words that come out of your mouth.-I know what it’s like to be afraid of your own thoughts. It’s a scary feeling, like you’re not in control of your own mind. And I know how easy it is to say things without thinking about how they might impact other people. But we have to remember that our words carry a lot of weight. They can hurt people, even if we don’t mean them to. So we need to be careful about the things we say. We need to think about how our words will affect others before we speak. Otherwise, we could end up doing more harm than good.
6. Your arrival into this world is magnificent. Make your departure spectacular and radiant. How? It is all up to you– One day, we will all take our final breath. It is an inevitable part of life, and yet it is something that we seldom think about. When the time comes, how do you want to be remembered? Do you want to be a source of comfort and strength for your loved ones, or do you want to leave them feeling lost and alone? The choice is yours. No matter what life throws your way, remember that your arrival into this world was magnificent. You have the power to make your departure just as spectacular. So live each day to the fullest and shine brightly for all to see. Leave this world radiate with the light of your soul. It is all up to you.
7. Someone is interested in what you have to say. Make sure your story is heard, even if you yourself don’t believe it matters– It’s easy to feel like our stories don’t matter. We think that what we have to say isn’t important, that no one wants to hear it. But the truth is, there is always someone who wants to listen. Someone who needs to hear what you have to say. Maybe it’s a friend who is going through a tough time and needs to know they’re not alone. Maybe it’s a family member who needs to understand your experience. Or maybe it’s a stranger who will be inspired by your story. Whatever the case may be, don’t be afraid to speak up. Your story matters, even if you don’t think it does. So don’t be afraid to share it. Someone is waiting to hear it.
8. Remember that you are not as important as you believe yourself to be– I remember being young and thinking that the world revolved around me. I was the center of my own universe, and everyone else existed to support my needs and wants. As I grew older, I slowly began to realize that I was not nearly as important as I had thought. There are billions of people in the world, and each one has their own story. While my life is important to me, it is just a small piece of the larger puzzle. Recognizing this has been humbling, and it has helped me to empathize with others and see them as equals rather than objects. It is a good reminder for all of us to step outside of ourselves from time to time and remember that we are not the only ones in this world.

9  Not all heroes are rebellions, and not every rebellious person is a hero.- I’ve always been a rebellious spirit. As a child, I was always testing the limits, pushing boundaries, and speaking up against authority. It’s no wonder that, as I grew older, I found myself drawn to the stories of rebels and heroes. But I soon learned that not all heroes are rebels, and not every rebel is a hero. The line between the two is often blurred, but there are some key differences. Rebels tend to be driven by personal gain or glory, while heroes are motivated by a desire to help others. Rebels often flout the law, while heroes operate within it. And rebels typically expect others to follow their lead, while heroes inspire others to find their own strength. In the end, it’s important to remember that both rebels and heroes can be found in every corner of society. They may not always make headlines, but they’re the ones who make the world a little bit better – one act of defiance at a time.

10. A person who does not understand his or her limitations might speak out, “I’ll show you.” A seasoned individual would say, “Time will tell.”-I’ve always been a bit of a go-getter. When I was younger, I would often find myself in situations where I said to prove others such as “I’ll show you.” I was impulsive and lacked patience. Over time, however, I learned that there is great value in understanding one’s limitations. Rather than blindly charging ahead, it is important to take the time to assess a situation and consider all available options. In many cases, the best course of action is not always immediately obvious. By being mindful of my limitations, I am able to make better decisions and avoid rash actions that might later be regretted. As they say, “time will tell.” By taking the time to think things through, I am able to make choices that are in line with my goals and values. As a result, I have found that less is often more when it comes to taking action.

11. Wisdom can be found in a variety of places, regardless of where it comes from: old, young, human, alive or dead-Throughout my life, I’ve been lucky enough to encounter wisdom in many different forms. I’ve heard it from my elders, read it in books, and even seen it in the actions of strangers. And each time, it has helped me to grow and learn in ways that I never could have imagined. Whether it’s the simple advice of a friend or the complex philosophy of a sage, wisdom is always welcome in my life. Because at its core, wisdom is simply knowledge that can be used to improve our lives. It doesn’t matter where it comes from; what matters is that we’re open to receiving it. By keeping our minds open to the endless possibilities of wisdom, we can continue to grow and thrive in all areas of our lives.

12. You may be suspicious of individuals, but if their outcomes are effective, it is proof that their theory /philosophy /way of doing things is correct whether you accept it or not- I’ll admit that I’m a bit of a skeptic. I don’t like to blindly accept what other people tell me, and I’m always quick to question any claims that seem too good to be true. However, I’ve also learned that being open-minded is important. Just because I’m suspicious of someone’s claims doesn’t mean they’re necessarily wrong. And if their theory is supported by evidence, then it’s proof that their theory is correct whether I accept it or not. In other words, outcome trumps suspicion. So the next time you’re quickly tempted to write someone off as a quack, remember that effective outcomes are the ultimate proof of a correct theory. Who knows, you might just learn something new in the process.

13. I’m not suggesting that reaching the top is easy. However, if someone claims to be lonely as a result of it, they don’t deserve to be there if they can’t handle it; in that case, go and get some support– A lot of people seem to think that being lonely and isolated is just part of the territory when it comes to being successful. And I get it, to a certain extent. When you’re focused on your goals and driven to achieve something great, it’s easy to let other things fall by the wayside. But that doesn’t mean that you have to be okay with being lonely. If you’re uncomfortable with the idea of being alone, that’s okay. You don’t have to suffer through it just because you want to be successful. Not sure how to cope with being lonely, I remember that it’s just a matter of reaching out and connecting with people. There’s no shame in admitting that you need help sometimes, and there’s no reason why you should have to suffer through loneliness if you don’t have to. Meeting new people can be tough, but it’s worth it in the end. So if you’re feeling lonely, don’t give up hope. There are people out there who want to connect with you, you just have to reach out and find them. At the end of the day, your happiness is more important than any amount of success.

14. The fear of success is far more common than the fear of failure. What would happen if I succeeded? People would learn who I am and ask for more, additional obligations would be placed on my shoulders, and so on- It’s funny that we so often fear success more than failure. After all, failure is an experience we’ve all had at one time or another, and it’s not pleasant. But success? Surely that’s something to strive for, something to be happy about. So why is it that the fear of success is so common? One reason may be that we simply don’t know what will happen if we succeed. We might worry that people will learn who we are and ask for more from us, or that additional obligations will be placed on our shoulders. Success can also be scary because it usually means change, and change can be difficult. But ultimately, the fear of success is just another form of fear, and like all fears, it can be overcome with courage and effort.

15. Get paid for your opinions if you enjoy debating about everything .If your views aren’t enough to pay your expenses, concentrate on improving yourself rather than commenting on every issue under the sun. The internet has brought forth a new breed of keyboard warriors who are unable to communicate when others are waiting for them to speak up when it counts.– In today’s world, it’s easy to get caught up in the echo chamber of social media and start feeling like our opinions are the only ones that matter. But if we’re honest with ourselves, most of us don’t really know that much about the world and the issues we’re debating. That’s not to say that our opinions don’t matter, but if we’re constantly arguing with people who disagree with us, we’re not going to get very far. It’s important to be open-minded and willing to listen to other points of view, even if we don’t agree with them. And if we want to be taken seriously, we need to be able to back up our arguments with facts and logic. Otherwise, we’re just wasting our time and everyone else’s.

16. There will come a time when things will turn in your favor, and you’ll wonder how it happened. Take advantage of the time you still have left—because one day, everything beautiful will come to an end. Prepare for life’s unexpected twists and turns – I remember when I was younger, I used to think that life was unfair. Why did other people have things that I wanted? Why did it seem like they always got the break, while I was stuck on the outside looking in? I was convinced that the world was against me. But then one day, things started to change. Small things at first, but gradually they built up until it seemed like everything was going my way. For a while, I thought that maybe life wasn’t so bad after all. But I was naïve back then. I didn’t know that those good times would eventually come to an end, wondering what happened to all those blessings I once took for granted. So if you’re reading this, and you’re in a good place right now, enjoy it while you can. Because one day it will all be gone.

17. Make a note of everything you’re thinking about. It’s better to vent your frustrations on paper than on those around you. Keep in mind that paper is more patient when it comes to listening to you than the people around you- One of the best things I ever did for my mental health was to start keeping a journal. At first, it felt a bit silly to sit down and write out everything that was on my mind, but I quickly found that it was an immensely helpful way to process my thoughts and emotions. Whenever I felt overwhelmed or frustrated, I would pour out everything onto the page, and in doing so, I found that I could gain some much-needed clarity. Additionally, writing things down helped me to see my problems in a new light and to come up with possible solutions that I might not have otherwise considered. Journaling has also been a great way for me to keep track of my progress over time. It’s easy to feel like you’re stuck in a rut when you’re facing challenges day after day, but looking back at my journal entries reminds me of how far I’ve come. If you’re struggling to make sense of your thoughts, I highly recommend giving journaling a try. Chances are, you’ll be surprised by how beneficial it can be.

18. People can have an impact on your emotions if they are aware of your triggers. When people are not in command of their emotions, they frequently make poor judgments- I used to think that my emotions were entirely my own responsibility. If I felt happy, angry, or scared, it was up to me to deal with those feelings. However, I’ve since learned that other people can have a big impact on my emotions. If someone is aware of my triggers, they can easily upset or calm me. And if they’re not in command of their own emotions, they can unintentionally make me feel bad. For example, if my boss is having a bad day, he might take it out on me by yelling. Or if my best friend is feeling sad, she might try to bring me down with her. Nowadays, I’m more mindful of the people around me and how their emotions might be affecting me. And I try to limit my exposure to those who tend to make me feel negative emotions.

19. How you communicate when it counts says a lot about how you handle your situation-In every situation, communication is key. The way you communicate says a lot about how you handle yourself and the situation. In a high stress situation, it is even more important to be able to communicate effectively. When the stakes are high, how you communicate can be the difference between success and failure. If you can stay calm and clearheaded, you are more likely to be able to find a solution. On the other hand, if you panic and become flustered, it will only make the situation worse. In any situation, communication is essential. But in a high stakes situation, it can mean the difference between success and failure.

20. Don’t be shocked if those who know you best and misunderstood you most are the same people– There’s an old saying that you can’t choose your family. And while that may be true, it’s also true that family is the group of people who know you best. They know your strengths and weaknesses, your hopes and fears, and they’ve seen you at your best and worst. So it’s no wonder that misunderstandings between family members are so common. After all, when you’re close to someone, it’s easy to make assumptions about their motives and intentions. And even when those assumptions are wrong, they can be difficult to let go of. So the next time you find yourself in a disagreement with a family member, try to remember that they’re coming from a place of love. Even if they don’t always see eye-to-eye with you, they still care about you and want what’s best for you.

21. Some people would only communicate with you if they required your assistance. Assist them; remember that light is utilized only when there is darkness. Be the light- In my experience, some of the most rewarding relationships are those in which we reach out to others simply for the sake of connecting, with no ulterior motives. These interactions can range from lending a listening ear to offering words of encouragement, but they all have one thing in common: they serve to brighten another person’s day. Unfortunately, not everyone is inclined to reach out in this way. Some people only communicate when they need something from you, and while there’s nothing inherently wrong with this, it can leave you feeling used and unappreciated. If you find yourself in this situation, I urge you to be the light that they so often seem to lack. Show them that it is possible to care about someone without expecting anything in return. You may not be able to change them, but you might just make their world a little bit brighter.

22. When you pay for advise, ideas, or suggestions, you value them more-I remember when I was first starting out in my career and I was eager to learn from more experienced people. I would go and strike up conversations with anyone who would talk to me. I quickly learned that most people are happy to give advice, but it wasn’t always very good advice. I also realized that the advice I valued the most was the advice that I had paid for in some way. Whether it was hiring a coach or taking a class, I found that I was much more likely to listen to and implement the suggestions from someone I had invested in.

Since then, I’ve always been willing to pay for advice, because I know that it will be more valuable to me. And even though I’m now in a position where people are coming to me for advice, I still make sure to invest in my own continued learning. Because at the end of the day, we’re all still students of life and there’s always more to learn.

23. Trends come and go, but our most basic principles in life never go out of style. There is no debate about gravity, and the same can be said of truth-Nowadays, it seems like there’s a new trend around every corner. One day everyone is wearing skinny jeans, and the next day it’s all about bootcut. But while fashion trends may come and go, there are some principles in life that never go out of style. Truth is one of those principles. It’s a universal constant, something we can always count on. No matter what else changes in the world, we can be confident that truth will always remain the same. And just like gravity, truth always has a way of catching up to us eventually. We may be able to ignore it or deny it for a while, but eventually the truth will come out. That’s why it’s always best to just tell the truth from the start. It may not be fashionable, but it’s a timeless principle that will never go out of style.
