Adding Value to Life...

Great ideas often come to us when we dont expect them; today i was washing up some dishes and I realized something extremely important about life. Weird huh? True. What I realized is that if we truly able to understand the meaning of the phrase 'adding value' there are a lot of areas within our life which could be improved.

The reason for a human being's existence is to be able to add value to either his/her own life or someone else's. A person who does not add value to either is considered dead or non-existent.

Now start analyzing this, from the time we get up in the morning to the time we sleep at night. If we are able to create value either in our life or someone else's life wouldnt our life become much more valuable?

Everyone in this world is looking for value, the infant gives value to parents through the happiness that they parents get while a CEO gets value out of employees from the effective work they perform.

The next time someone questions you or you question yourself about life, think of what and how much value are you providing for yourself and people around you.

Create a list of things that you could do in a day to add value to both yourself and others...Things will change and your life will take a completely new turn once you start realizing the importance of adding value in life..!!

Entitlement Mentality...

The book by Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump, "Why We Want You to be Rich" is a great read for people who would like to change their mindset about money and how they could get into the rich category over time.

There is something very interesting that is mentioned by Donald Trump when he talks about the entitlement mentality. He says that a lot of people mentioning specifically the USA have developed a mentality that they are entitled for a good life and the government/company is responsible for securing their future. This mentality has led people into a very big disaster and has contributed a great deal to the current economic situation.

If you think about this is applicable not only in terms of wealth but it is equally important in every aspect of life. If anyone starts over expecting something, he/she goes into a big disappointment when the expectation is not fulfilled and thus undergoes a chain of problems only because he has trained his mind to receive something which was unrealistic.

The point of wisdom really is that as an individual the more you expect the greater would be your disappointment but once you understand the concept that everything that you need has to be earned by you through education, working harder or any other way.

Higher Expectations leads to Greater Disappointment in Life....

Living Inside-Out

Today, I will be talking about something which has been talked about for a while now and many different speakers and authors have mentioned this issue in form or the another. The idea basically is to live your life inside-out and now outside-in.

This simply means to find your purpose and happiness in life from inside and not through external factors. The reason is that external factors are temporary while internal is permenant. Many people are still under the confusion that if they get more money, better car, amazing spouse or something extrordinary on the outside they will be happy in life. It is sad to say that this is not true. No matter how much you can find external things to satisfy youself you as a person will never be able to live a worldclass life unless there is satisfaction at heart.

This thing might sound cliche as of now but we as human beings need to be reminded to such things on a daily basis because we are living in an enviornment which is full of distractions and being able to live an inside-out life is something very difficult and thus only those who can do will be able to live a very successful life.

I meet with people on a daily basis who are trying to organize their whole career, their whole life on an external factor, like money, parents, fame etc. This is something which cannot be stressed more then anything else in this life. Start thinking from inside-out and see how you can make amazing changes within your life in a matter of minutes...Give it a Shot...
