Writing is in progress...............
Writing is my hobby, and I am working hard to make it my profession. I write more about the lifestyle, and I love to express my thoughts.
Everyone says do something extraordinary in your life so that you and your family should be proud of it. It would be best to not waste your life on the things that pull you back from your success.
But, you are not alone in the world if you don't know what to do with your life. It is a widespread situation for many people who feel stuck and directionless in their lives. It can have many reasons, such as poor decision-making and so on.
What is the purpose of your life? What do you want in your life desperately?
Happiness right? Yes! Everyone's first desire in their life is happiness. We want to be only satisfied with our decisions. We want; our life should go smoothly. It's human nature. No one wants to stop anywhere.
But, it is life, which is so unpredictable. You can not guess what life will serve you. Many times, things will go unplanned. And, what do you do and how do you handle those situations are what matters.
Things you should know about feeling stuck
1) You are not alone
You might think that you are alone in the situation. But, remember, life has a unique way of making you feel alone in the journey.
Maybe you recently had a breakup, and all your friends are in a relationship. You are not satisfied with your job, and others might look very happy with their work.
Things look like this. But you never know what's behind the scenes. Do you know if your friend is in a relationship, but is their relation working fine? Your friend might seem happy, but do you know, are they stressed or not, due to work.
Overall, you are not alone in the situation.
2) You don't always have to know what to do with your life
When you see someone moving towards their dream, naturally, you will feel disappointed. The very first thought you would have is-
• Ashamed or Guilty
Obviously, you would feel guilty or ashamed when your friends move towards their dream, and you are still at the starting point. But, let me say, there is nothing to feel like this.
Do you know the source of your pressure? It's you. You think you failed. Whereas, the fact is, you are not behind or ahead of anyone because you are running in your race of life. Your path and their path are entirely different. Either you don't know what issues they might be facing in their journey.
• Powerless
There are many things to do in life. But, the energy and our effort make things uncertain. And this uncertainty leads you to feel you did not do anything until now, which can make you feel powerless.
In fact, the power is not in the achievement. But the power is in the faith of your capabilities. Have faith in you, and say I can do it often. Once you realize your inner strength, it becomes the significant power in you.
• Overwhelmed
Okay, the feeling of, 'I can not do anything right can be overwhelming. But, don't let these feelings affect your lives, your thoughts, and your capacities.
You can not reach the peak of the mountains seeing only to the extreme. You also have to watch out for your steps, whether you are putting them right or wrong. This should be the strategy for you.
Everyone's life is different than others. So, just don't compare your success or failure to anyone else and blame you.
3) You will say, ' I don't know what to do with my life' often, and that is a gift
Okay, yes, it is fantastic when you know what to do in your life. You can just put your feet forward in the direction of your goal. It might be feeling you so amazing when you know your efforts are worthy.
But, what to do, when you don't know what to do in your life. Well! I would call it a gift and opportunity for you. When you don't know, you have ample options to do.
I'm sure you have an idea about what kind of life you want. What things do you want to lead? So, make choices according to that. You will find your purpose.
4) You are more than one thing
People with 'calling' are great. They know, what they want to do, so their entire schedule is fixed. And thus, they work accordingly.
But, if you don't know what you want to do, it does not mean you feel disappointed. You can not be defined with a single word or task, or skill.
You might be a good friend, an excellent supportive singing, a wonderful partner and a useful employ.
So, remember, no one thing can define you and your skills. It would be best if you were not wasting your 'calling' to embrace you. Just celebrate what strengths you have already.
As you can see, each one of the four things listed above is often felt by you. You feel encouraged when something doesn't go as per your plan. But, always keep this in mind fixed, there are many persons out there, who might be in the same seat, you are not alone.
Now, I will share some tips that will help you get out of stuck situations.
7 Tips to assist you in getting out of a stuck situation
Whenever you feel directionless or stuck in the case, try out these tips.
1) Get moving and clear your mind
If you think that knowing what you want is better than not knowing what you want, then let me tell you that achieving something and having faith in yourself is the best thing.
A few years ago, I took a decision, which now I don't find correct. In that situation, my entire career was supposed to depend on it. And, in the current case, I felt like nothing is left out. I can do anything now.
I made the wrong decision, and it has affected me a lot. Mental stress is dangerous than physical injury.
But, I decided not to lose hope. I know I can still do something great from whatever I have. So, with hope and faith, I started with a new day.
I decided that I will make my wrong decision right. And I did that. I overcome my stress; I clear my mind from past guilt and move on. You also have to do the same.
2) Wake up your conscious mind and limit choices
Nobody can make or break your life; it is only you who can do it. Your thinking and actions matter the most in such a condition.
In the practice of finding the right answer from life, don't forget, life doesn't give you answers on brightly wrapped paper. There are no rules and paths to follow up. You will have to make your pathway when you don't know what exactly you want to do in your life.
The first step for this would be, waking up your conscious mind, and accept the reality, welcome the challenge, face them fill courage.
We become still when we have any questions in front of us. Also, our brain can not pick one among so many options. It is true that when we have less, we feel limited, and when we have too many, we feel overwhelmed.
For example, if you are switching your career and don't know how to select the right one, limit your choice to 6 to 7. It will help you make accurate decisions.
3) Take small steps with 30-day challenges
Deadlines are motivational. You might be wondering why 30 days? As per research, you gradually take small steps, and slowly, they become your powerful habits.
Even though self-imposed persons can make the right decision when they are given a deadline, try to achieve various goals in this 30- day challenge.
Let's consider; you want to learn to code. So, set a weekly goal for your learning. And by the end of the month, you will have good knowledge.
Likewise, note the things you want to do, such as spending time with your kids and family and learning any skill. Make short goals and achieve them one by one. Short plans will help you to develop.
4) Seek the wisdom of others who have been there
Motivation can help you to deal with problematic situations. When you don't know what to do in your life and feel exotic with your condition of being unable to do anything, read the stories of the people who inspire you. Read about their lives, learn the philosophy of their life, and overcome the challenges in their lives. These could be an excellent source of motivation and knowledge.
Such stories can motivate you, especially when you don't know what you want to put next. It would be great to find someone who was in a similar situation and came up from their circumstances.
You don't have to learn from your experiences only; try to learn from others' experiences.
5) What do I love doing?
This could be a significant step in your life. If you are ready to involve the things that you like to do in your free time as your career aspect, you can make great things out of that.
Ask this question to yourself, and then find the answer to it. You will definitely find your passion. Once you get what you want to do in your life, decide what steps you can take to fulfill your goal.
So, note down everything you love doing. Don't leave anything. And then decide what can be your next step.
6) Ask yourself, am I willing to fail?
Failure is the key to success. Until you fail, you can not claim the mountain of success. When you fail, you learn many things, such as, “this strategy won't work."
It means now you will have to think differently and start the thing in a new way. New things could be anything.
Like, if you like writing, write down everything that comes to your mind. Let others read it. Take their reviews. If they don't like it so much, you know, what you don't have to write.
Now, keep this in mind, and start writing again, with the point of view of being successful.
7) Learn about yourself
In every situation, you have two choices, either do the right thing or do something wrong. What worst of all is, doing nothing?
Find out, who you are, your passion, and what you want to achieve in your life. If you feel directionless, it means you are no more in contact with your authentic self.
It is essential to leave your past to move forward. If you are unaware of your existence, you don't know what you want to do; things will go worst.
Your life's foundation can only be made when you have any life goal when you know your life's purpose. It will also fill resilience, confidence, courage, and accountability in you. When you have meaning and vision, you won't be stuck at any point. You will find the pathways on your own.
If you are not sure what you want precisely, make a list of your priorities. This will help you to know many things about yourself.
Now, whenever you are stuck in anything, ask yourself these questions or find the tricks familiar to you. I know it will be a challenging journey, and your decisions might go wrong. But, I will repeat it, don't lose hope, and have faith.
Confused What To Do With Your Life? These Points Will Help You With That.
“What the hell am I doing with my life?”
“Why don’t I know what I want to do?”
“Why is it so hard to figure out what I need to do with my life?”
Are you relating to these above questions? If yes, then you are definitely not alone.
At some point in your life, these questions must have popped in your head. Don’t be afraid or worried because you are not the only one who has been tortured with them. The majority of us have gone through this phase.
In fact, most of us have. You are less likely to encounter someone who has everything figured out about their life.
It is common for people to come across a point in their lives where they find themselves questioning this thing. You might feel lost or disoriented from the initial decisions you made to head on in your life.
Now, you don’t know anymore what you actually want. You may have thought while making those decisions, that this was the right thing for you or you want that thing.
Or maybe you never really gave it proper thought or thought it through and thus are now regretting this decision. Reasons could be endless.
No matter what you are or what your age is, you can face this stage at any given time of your life. You can go through this while making career decisions, or someone with an established job while being a mother, or a person who is soon to retire.
It can happen at literally any given time. And all this time they only want to evaluate the answer to the question of what they are doing with their life or what they can do with their life.
The following points are going to help you with the solutions to this dreading question and make you feel focused again. It will help to make clear decisions and not feel lost.
Make Peace
The first and foremost step towards the solution is to accept and make peace with the fact that you do not know what you are doing or what you want to do with your life.
Remember, it is okay to feel confused and lost because you don’t know what is going to happen next. You cannot predict future happenings. So stop stressing yourself with the things that are out of your control.
What you can do is to live in the present; at the moment as much as you can. It will make your life more interesting and enjoyable. Invest yourself in the things you actually like and enjoy.
Keep pursuing your hobby or passion. Who knows, by your perseverance, it might actually grant you success. It may become the very thing that you were meant to do from the beginning. And if not, it may become a side hustle or passive income generating source. You will always have a backup.
Adjust To Discomfort
There are going to be moments in your life where you are not the most comfortable. You will not have the required money to get the comforts or possession you need or desire for. But there will be something you can do to pursue things you really want, even with some amount of discomfort.
Life is not the same or fair to everyone and you need to accept that fact. You see people every day struggling with so many things just to survive, don’t you? Because they strive hard to bring in the necessities for them even with so much labor. You can do that too.
Things may not be the exact way you have imagined them to be. But that doesn’t mean that everything is bad or it is the end.
Remember, it could be a bad day but not a bad life. If you get to pursue your dreams or the things you wished so badly to have in the end, then all the discomfort is worth suffering for.
Uncertainty
The future is not in your hands and neither can you predict it. You won’t be able to completely figure out things about the future and neither can control it. Everything is too uncertain in life. All you can do is to prepare yourself to deal with it as best as you can.
You may feel like “yes, I have it all figured out” and the next moment something happens that is so much out of the context you have had in your mind. One moment you had everything and the next you are left empty-handed.
It happens and you are certainly not the only person to go through such things. This is not in your control. You would be depressed and questioning things as to what you have done to deserve this? But you must not allow yourself to wallow in self-pity and stop living.
Maybe it could turn into a blessing in disguise if you change your perspective towards it. Maybe it can be a perfect opportunity for you? Besides, it is never too late to start over in life.
Overcome Difficulties
If there is a thing that you need to achieve in your life at any cost then you must be ready to do anything to get it. Isn’t it? Your greatest wish needs to be fulfilled by you and only you.
For that, you need to do hard work and overcome every distraction and difficulty. You are not going to get anything if you don’t get started right away.
The more you delay in taking actions the farther away from the opportunity to achieve your dream will be. If you are serious about something then you need to show that through your acts. Be it a career option, a thing, or a person you are pursuing. Just go for it right this moment.
Introspect
Self-awareness is extremely important to know what you actually want to do in life or what you want from it. If you don’t know about what you are, what type of person you are or what personality you have, what are your interests, what is your passion, etc.
All these questions are really very important to decide your path in life. You need to introspect about yourself to find what your next step would be.
You can start by finding all the answers to the above questions. Then you can try things like meditation, writing things about yourself, exploring new things in order to know what you actually like and want.
You are also building strong measures for dealing with the challenges you are going to face in the future for achieving your dreams. Because you are going to be sure about yourself then you will also be prepared as to how you will be facing your problems and solve them.
Experience
If you want to do something or some work, but are not sure about it then you can try this. By volunteering for that work or observing someone else do that work, you can clear your mind about the job and if you would like to do that. It will be like a trial experience to make a correct and final decision about your job.
No matter how much you internalize about the thing you are not going to be hundred percent sure about it unless you try it yourself. It happens sometimes that you are very confident about something but end up not liking it. But also, on the contrary, you do not want to do a thing or work but that turns out to be your true calling.
So, it will make you clear your mind for that work. It is like interning for that work. You are even adding that work experience that may help you in your future endeavors. Getting practical experience for any work is always the best option to decide what to do next.
Take Advice
As stated before, you are not the only one going through this or have been through such a phase. There have been thousands of us to have experienced this. And there is more of a chance than you realize that someone has experienced the exact same thing as you. So there is a chance that you will relate to that person and with their situation like yours.
So seek their knowledge and make better use of that. You don’t have to put your hands on fire in order to know that it will burn you. It is not always necessary to experience something yourself to know its consequences. You can learn so much from others' experiences.
Especially, if there and your situations are similar or the same. There still will be chances that things that worked for them may not work for you but it is surely better to learn and be cautious than making yourself expose to more damage.
We have biopics for a reason. Those are not just for entertainment purposes, but we also learn from their life experiences. Or reading someone’s autobiography can do the same things for you. You might get enlightened on what to do based on their life experiences.
Or know how to tackle the problems and difficulties they have faced. All these real-life stories can motivate and inspire you to your own life path.
Or you can find and ask someone present in your life if they have experienced these things in their life as well. And if yes, what steps they took to overcome them? And what were the consequences they have got with those steps? There will be so much to learn and know from other’s experiences that you will be amazed by the knowledge.
Financial Resources
If you are going to change your approach completely or whether you want to pursue something else, then inevitably you will be needing finances for that. Whatever you are going to do will cost you a fortune, more or less. So you got to save up and build a financial resource for that thing.
Besides, it will also need time to be fulfilled. So you need to give it time and have a backup for your endeavors. You would need to have proper planning and things ready for fulfilling your dreams.
You cannot just decide one day and up to go for it. You will need time and resources for that. You might also need some help from others. Whatever you are planning to do may require help from more than one person. Just have patience and work for it.
Grab the Opportunity
We all know that opportunities are really hard to come your way. So it is essential for you to identify them and grab them when it is the right time. Do not wait in hesitance and overthink.
When the opportunity knocks on the door you must open it, not keep it closed. Barely a handful of people get great opportunities in their lives once, let alone a second time.
Granted, sometimes it is not the right time. Yet it will not matter. Just go for it and things will naturally unfold if it is meant to be.
Conclusion
Life is a tough journey and it can only be rewarding when you have you find and achieve your purpose in life. If you follow these points then it will be more clear and you will know what you want. You will get all the answers to your “what's” in life.
Apart from all these points, you must keep trying things. These points will surely help you configure things for you, but they will not guarantee success in your first trial. So you might need to keep trying and gain experiences to make the final call until you are more than a hundred percent sure about what you want.
And it is more likely to try and fail than not even trying anything and regretting it in the end. And that regret will be really hard to bear.

EVEN YOU ARE CLUELESS ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE?
Oh, God! Why always me?
Why do all these chaotic things always happen to me?
Why can't I do anything appreciating in my life?
What do I do now?
These and numerous questions like this frequently bother every one of us. There is one moment in everyone's life when we think we don't know what's wrong with me, we aren't able to figure out what's going on in life what's my purpose in life, but don't worry, it's not just you every human out their faces this. Somewhere at that point in life, everyone thinks that I know what I want but don't know how? What to do with my life? What is my existence all about?
How do I figure out what to do with my life?
How do I figure out what I want to do in my life? To figure it out, the first thing we all have to do is that we need to understand we are lost somewhere, and we are not on track and wandering away from our purpose. We need to sit alone in peace and ask our inner self questions.
"Hey, tell me, what do you want?
Will you be happy if I do this or that?
Will you be getting maximum satisfaction if I do this?
What should I do with my life?
What should I stop doing?
The answer should be either a big yes, or a hell no. There should be no in-between.
What to do once you get the answers?
While thinking about how to figure it out, we need to accept what our mind honestly says. Yes or no. Then we have to drop the things out of our life for which our mind clearly says no. once we are done with what we don't want to do, it is not difficult to figure out what do I do now. And all along with this, let me tell you one more thing that, until we are lost somewhere, we can't get to where we always wanted to be.
How do I find my purpose?
Finding the purpose of life can be very easy for someone or maybe too difficult a task for someone, depending upon how they deal with life. Honestly speaking, there is nothing like figuring out in life; it's just about listening to your mind what it says about you.
Let's look at those small tricks you can start with to find your purpose in life.
1. HAVE TALKS AND GET THE DIFFERENT OPINIONS:
The easiest thing we all can start with is talking with people who are around us, whether they are your friends, classmates, your relatives. Try to get their opinions on how you can find your purpose. The plus point of talking with elders is they have a great experience of life. They may or may not be educated, but they have learned a lot from experiences, and we all know that experience teaches more than books.
2. DO A GOOD SELF-STUDY:
The second thing we all can do is self-study or exploring ourselves. For that, we need to give time to ourselves. We need to be in place and ask ourselves a question that could let us towards our goal to extract the best from ourselves. We need to explore ourselves.
3. READ BOOKS OR PEOPLE:
The third thing you can do is reading. I always suggest to my friends that they either read books or start reading. People both teach a lot of things. Because when we read a book, we read who is ultimately a human. And if you cannot concentrate on reading, start observing the things around you even, they can teach you a lot of things.
4. ELIMINATE WHAT YOU DON'T WANT:
To reach your actual goal, put up yourself in multiple things first so that you will be easily able to eliminate what you don't want.
5. DON'T GET CRITICIZED BY FEEDBACKS:
We get happiest or satisfied if someone appreciates us for our achievements. So just like appreciation, we take feedback for our faults positively and work on ourselves. We have to keep in mind that we should not be offended by negative feedback; instead, we should ask people for feedback and suggestions.
What are the best things you can do with your life
➣ We should keep ourselves away from virtual life as much as possible. Today's youth is engaged in social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp for more than half of their day; being on a screen for excessive time can keep us away from doing productive things.
➣ Do not multitask more than your capacity. In today's competitive world, we often hear that you get yourself more than one source of income. But, sometimes multitasking causes exhaustion, also doing it without proper planning and strategies cause us good at nothing.
➣ Prioritize your health. We all know that there is nothing more important than our health. If we are healthy, we can work more efficiently tomorrow than today.
➣ Be true to yourself. Never lie to your heart about your dreams and desires. Be committed to the goals and promises that you have made to others.
➣ Spend time with your loved ones as much as possible. We all work and earn for our families, and there is well-being, but just earning money is not enough. We should spend quality time and express love towards our loved ones.
➣ Be at peace and give time to yourself in a hectic schedule. We forget to give time to ourselves and work like machines. But as humans, we need mental peace. So, at least for an hour, separate yourself from the rest of the world and spend time alone.
➣ Value your existence. Sometimes we interact too much in a toxic relationship which makes us believe that we don't have our own existence and purpose in life without that person. This is not the way you live. You should value your existence and self-respect.
➣ Be self-centered, not selfish. There is a big difference between being self-centered and selfish. Self-centered is when you think for yourself without harming someone, and selfishness is a venue to make decisions for yourself at others' harm.
What should I do with my career?
There are many things or situations that drag us in this situation. And make us feel like, I don't know what career I want. I don't know what I should do with my life? Let's understand this with a story and what we can do about life to make it as we want.
There is a girl named Kartika, who is really a good poet and author. She writes poetry and articles beautifully. She always wanted to be an author and a good poet. she wanted the world to listen to her poetry with all their heart and appreciate her for it.
Still, Kartika's father doesn't like it, and he always wanted her to be e a Civil Servant, and he even forced her many times to do that. Here she made her first mistake, she made herself do what she never wanted to do, and she pushed herself towards too much hustle. Even after studying for two consecutive years and appearing thrice for the exams, she could not qualify even for the prelims exams.
Then she talked to one of her college professors and told her everything. The first thing that the professor told her is that preparing for the examinations was her biggest mistake. She was not interested in it at all and made herself comfortable with things that are not absolutely adaptable for herself; then, Kartika accepted her mistake.
It was the first step towards her achievement when she decided to talk to her father and tell him that she couldn't do it anymore. She requested him not to force her anymore and let her do what she wants.
The reason behind telling this story:
Why did I tell this typical story? Yes, it has a reason. These are the small mistakes we often make in our life and then regret. While choosing a career, we are supposed to give preference to the things we are passionate about. No one knows our passion and what we like better than us. So, at least while deciding about a career, do not let others force your choices. Ultimately you are going to regret and blame yourself more than you do to others.
Decide where you are and what to do next:
Now, what about those who have already chosen a career out of their likings but are losing their interest in it. So, for those people- They can start trying new things in which they are developing interest. They can also take a break from their current profession and look at how much it matters.
What to do with the rest of my life?
"Yesterday we were something that we can never
Tomorrow we will be something we never know
But today we can be everything all we want."
This is the biggest beautiful truth of life. We can do everything we want for the rest of our life. Often, we feel what I should do with the rest of my life? I don't know what I want? I just don't know what to do with myself. All we can do is try to put effort into it, which would be e-drive us towards approximate consequences that we want.
Let's start with things that will guide you that what should you do with the rest of your life
# Do not hold onto the mistakes you have made in the past
We all do to this mistake in our lives that we keep remembering and regretting repeatedly, so the better you can do is not repeat it and take it as a lesson and walk ahead.
# Learn to forgive others and yourself
We often do that we judge others on their wrongdoing and keep hatred in our hearts. Also, we hold on to our past mistakes, which don't let us make dynamic decisions. Forgiving doesn't take anything; instead, it makes you feel better about yourself.
# Don't be greedy
Greed takes you nowhere. We should be aspired towards things but not be greedy. Dreams and desires should be able to make you grateful for your achievement. It should not let you snatch anything from others.
# Listen. Think. Understand
We all have lost a few relations, opportunities, and respect due to our rude and hurtful words. So, before you talk about anything, listen and understand from other's perspectives and then reply.
# Do not let others force your choices
Life is yours, so it becomes how you make it. You know what's better for you. So surely take advice from others, use them as an information source and take your decisions on your own.
# Don't assume short term goals as ultimate
We often see that getting married, starting a family, getting a new home or car, and traveling the world are the ultimate goals of people, but they should not be. Learning new things, taking risks, helping others, and many like this. The things that give you inner satisfaction, you should settle for this.
10 things we can do to make the best out of life in three phases
FIRST PHASE:
1. Get yourself a mentor.
Often, we keep doing things all by ourselves, which is not possible to do all the time. Sometimes getting a mentor is advisable to decide what to do next in your life.
2. Make short term goals:
Once you recognize what your goal is, divide it into short-term goals and then divide the short-term goals into small chunks as your daily task be committed to your daily routine, which you have made.
3. Observe and learn from small things:
Generally, we avoid observing and looking at the things happening around us. Still, sometimes those are the things which teach many things and can give effective lessons of life.
So after deciding your short-term goals and long-term goals, keep observing what you are doing jot down your daily achievements. What you can't complete in a day would be a good tool of self-assessment.
4. Convert all you should's in musts:
Do not procrastinate. Do what is your today's task before you go to bed. Procrastination would lead to regret. So before regret enters your life, turn all your should's in musts.
SECOND PHASE:
5. Set your limits:
Once you are done with the self-assessment, you will be able to limit your choices. Which will give you a clarified plan of what to do next in your life. Once necessary things are cut off, it is not hard to decide what to do.
6. Be adaptable for changes:
When you decide what to do, you need to change your goals to extract based out on yourself. You need to leave the outdated things aside and learn according to today's needs.
7. Get used to with hustle:
Always remember one thing 1-minute comfort of today can cause 2X hustle tomorrow, so you better get yourself used to with more hustle today and keep your distractions away.
THIRD PHASE
8. Start earning (even a smaller amount):
Try to earn some money whether from the part-time job are working from home or from anything you are better at it and can get money from it. Earning even a small amount of money can keep your financial aspect of life.
9. Keep exploring yourself:
As we discussed above, we should keep learning every day. There are many small things which you can start with learning. Even after a name is getting into your passion, there could be things in which you can develop your interest for others, so even after getting all you want, never stop exploring.
10. Do those things first which you are afraid of:
One of my sisters-in-law once told me never to be afraid of doing anything. Either it will work, or you will learn something. Never Goes in vain do those things first. You are afraid that it will destroy your fear from the root.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Firstly, keep in mind whatever you are feeling is normal. We just need to find the solutions that are have already arisen with that problem. Keep yourself calm and find it. Better than getting into too many thoughts, start taking action. You can make it far better than you think...!!

Once there was a farmer who used to sell 10 kg of butter to a shopkeeper. He has become the regular seller of the shopkeeper. One day the shopkeeper thought of measuring the butter, whether the farmer gives him the correct quantity or not. So, after buying the butter, the shopkeeper measures the butter and found that it was less than 10 kg.
The shopkeeper takes the farmer to court. The judge asks the farmer," why did you cheat the shopkeeper. Instead of giving him the correct measurement, which alias used to provide him with less quantity."
The farmer replied that he doesn't have anything to measure the quantity. He only has one measurement using that; he gives the butter to the shopkeeper.
Judge asked the farmer, "what is it?"
The farmer replied, "I purchase 10 kg of bread from the shopkeeper. And, in the same container, I put butter in it and sell it to the shopkeeper."
He continues, "if he has found the butter, less than 10 kg, he might have sold be the bread less than the right quantity."
The Morel: You might have heard that you give will come back to you for sure. I don't know in what form, but you will get it anyway. If you give respect, you wi be respected. You give grief; you will receive sadness. This story is the best example that proves; Every action has equal and opposite reactions.
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will. Vince Lombardi
One day, in a seminar, the host ask 150 people to play a game. First, he asks them to pick up a balloon and write their name on it. When the people do it, the host asks them to go into a room and drop their balloon in the empty space.
The people return to him, dropping their balloon. Then the host asks the same group to go to the room and take their balloon and come back here. Everyone goes to the room and looks for their balloon. While looking for the balloon, there push other people aside, go over them, and through others balloon aside from them.
They were asked to come back in two minutes. And after the time is done, everyone returns with an empty hand. The host again asks the same group to go to the room, pick up a random balloon, and return it to the balloon's owner. After two minutes, everyone returns with their balloons in their hand.
The host says, "this is what we do in real life also. We keep aside other's happiness to look for ourselves. But we forgot that if you can't make others happy, you can be satisfied too. "
The Morel: The secret of happiness is, be helping to others. Find your joy in other's happiness. When you give a smile to other's faces, you will ultimately get a reason to smile. You don't have to run for joy when you help others. And, success can be achieved in the same way. By helping others and taking others together, you can get win only.
I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed. Michael Jordan
There was a company, who's boss was so strict, and employees didn't like him at all. One day, when all the employees come to the office, they see a notice on the door, "the one who was holding you back died yesterday. Please gather in the seminar hall for condolences."
Reading this notice, every one of them thinks that the boss dies. They feel so sad. And everyone started moving to the auditorium. When they enter the hall, they see the boss sitting on the chair fit and refined and a coffin placed in front of him. Each one of them was shocked, who is died then.
One by one, everyone comes to the coffin and sees inside it. But, when they looked inside the coffin, everyone was shocked. As, inside the coffin, there was a mirror only where they saw their own images.
Besides the mirror, there was a letter, "The person who was holding you back is you. There is no other person in the world who can hold you back rather than you. You are the biggest speed breaker for your success. Unless and until you understand this fact, you can't get success."
The Morel: The one who is the doer is you for yourself. You can make you successful and unsuccessful at times. No one can hold you at any sort of time.
Only you can keep you and release you to do something extraordinary. Don't put limits on yourself. Be limitless. You have the best relationship with you. If people are blaming you, making fun of you based on your efforts, it means you are logging at some point. So, don't blame others for their perception of you. As somewhere you have given them a reason to think like this.
Once, there was a man who was so intelligent. People know him and their work. And they used to appreciate him due to his works. He used to calculate and study every single thing that he was doing. Then, one day, he notices that his shoes are going to tire soon. He realized that he had worked so hard, and as a result, his shoes will be split into two parts.
He decided to buy a pair of shoes. So he thinks of going online and looking for the shoes that are best suited for him. Meanwhile, he also believes that what if he bought the wrong pair. So, he wanted to be sure before purchasing the shoes. So, he takes off all the books that he was appreciated the most. And after too much research, he finally reaches the solution that how he needs to buy shoes.
He makes all the measurements using the scales. On the next day, he went to the shop and selected a pair of shoes. But then he realized that he had forgotten the scale at home. So he goes back home, but he realized that his boots are torn. And he has to walk to the house barefoot.
In a school, one camp was organized for the students. The counselor comes to the auditorium and asks students to share their experiences that have hurt them badly.
One of the students stood up and said that one of his friends says something to him that had hurt them so badly. And, they can not forget what their friend has told them.
Then the counselor puts up the chalk and breaks it into two parts. Then they ask the students whether anyone can join it back and make it like before. Everyone says no.
Then the counselor says, "like, you can not join this chalk back, and make it like before, you can not take your words back. Your words are the most powerful. So, use it wisely. It may give you an injury severe than any of the weapons."
The Morel: We can not live without talking with each other. Being in a conversation, words are the most important things that help have a good relationship and bond. Conversely, if you use the wrong words, your most robust relationship can be faded away.
Right words heal, where bad words injure you the severe. You can't take the terms back. Once you said something that could hurt the feelings of somebody, your 100 times "I'm sorry" can't make it right. Take some time to think before you utter a word. You should know what to speak and when to speak. As if you learn to speak wisely, you are successful.
Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying. W. Clement Stone
Once, there was a Carpenter who was nearby his retirement. He goes to his boss and informs him about his retirement. The boss got sad, as the carpenter was one of the best employees he had ever.
The boss asked the carpenter to build the last house for him before his retirement. Though the man didn't want to do it, he agreed to do so. And he started working in it. He was such an experienced and knowledgeable person. But, as it was his last house, who doesn't take too much effort, uses average interiors, and so on.
When it gets ready, he gives the key of the house to the boss, and the boss provides access to the carpenter's return, saying, " it is the gift for you from my side."
The carpenter thinks that if the world has known that it is for him, he would have taken the double efforts and gave a quality product.
The Morel: We often save our energy for the next day, which we don't know, what and how it will be. This story teaches us to give 100% at the moment. You waste your time giving excuses and then complaining about the outcome. If you don't give your best, how can you get the best?
Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming. John Wooden
In a classroom, a professor asks a student to come forward. When he comes out, the professor asks him to put his hands on a level outside his body alignment. When he does it, he puts two books in his hands. And ask the student if it is heavy or not. The student says it's very light.
After 5 minutes, the professor again asked the student if it is heavy or not. The student again replied the same. Then, the professor gets busy interacting with the class. After 15 minutes, the professor repeats the same question. This time, the student replied, he is feeling muscle pain. Then the professor asked him to go back to his seat.
The professor explains that if the boy had held the book for 1 hour, he might feel keeping the heaviest thing. But, if he holds the book for a day or the week, his hand may feel paralyzed and numb.
Similarly, the book refers to the stress and worries in your life. If you hold them for few minutes, that's ok. Buy, if you have them for much time, it will give you pain, mentally and physically. It will help if you let go of them as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will paralyze your brain.
The Morel: If you can't hold your happiness for longer, why do you carry your stress everywhere you go. It will give you nothing but sadness and more anxiety. Let go of your tension. Don't carry them everywhere. Free up your mind so that they can have a space for new ideas.
Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. Bruce Lee
There was an older man who had five sons. The man was rich, but he was old now. His sons always used to fight with each other. And, the man was so stressed due to this behavior of his son. Now, their fight was raised before ever, and the people around them used to make fun of them for fighting all the time.
One day, he gets sick. He wanted his son to be united before he died. So, he calls his sons and says, "dear, if you do what I will ask you to do, in less time, you will get the rewards for it." Everyone gets agreed.
Now the man gives each one of them a bundle of 10 sticks to break and asks them to divide it into two half. Whoever will do it in less time will be the winner. So, the sons started breaking the sticks and finish the task in very little time. But, now, they again began to fight, who did the first.
The man says, "the task is not finished yet." He again gives a bundle of 10 sticks to each one of them and asks them to beak it in one go rather than to break them individually. After many tries, no one can break it. And the admission that they are failed.
Once, there was a king who was so helpful. He has a person in his kingdom who was so clever. And the king used to admire the person the most.
One day, the king and the person goes the riverside. They were talking and discussing some severe topic.
Meanwhile, the king draws a line on the coast of the river and asked the man to reduce the length of the line without touching it or wiping it. After thinking for some time, the man draws an extensive line aside from the last line and tells the king that his line is shorter.
The King gets pleased with the man again.
The Morel: Try to look for the options around you. If you keep yourself closed in a box, don't let yourself breathe in the air, you won't be able to survive. Put yourself in extreme conditions to know your capabilities. Make your mind living. Think out of the box.
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success. Swami Vivekananda
A man used to walk his dog every day in the morning. Every week he was noticing a woman nearby a lake. Week after week passed by. And then he finally goes to the woman asked, " would you mind if I ask, what do you do here every week?"
The woman had a cage beside her, three turtles on her lap, and the fourth one in her hand; she was wiping with a sponge.
She smiled and replied, "I'm cleaning the argue and scum that grows upon the turtle's shell as it would reduce their ability to soak heat and reduce their swimming capacity. It so can get corrode and got weaken with time. I do it every weekend."
The man smiles and says, "But do you think you are making a huge difference? As there are not so many people in the world who do this. And the other turtles may be living with the algae and scums."
The women replied, "if these turtles were talking, they would say, I'm making a huge difference."
The Morel: You may not change the world, but you can change someone's life. You may not matter for the world, but it might be the world for someone. Only because you can't change the world doesn't mean you shouldn't try to help people. You might never know; your small help can make a huge difference in someone's life.
Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats. Amos Bronson Alcott
Two kids, a boy, and a girl, were playing on the ground afternoon. First, the boy shows the girl his collection of the pabbles, which was too beautiful. Then the girl also shows him her collection of candies.
They both make a deal of exchanging this collection. The girl gives her all the candies to the boy. Boy gives all of his pabbles to the girl. But, he keeps one of the most beautiful and big stones to him, without her knowledge. And they both were so happy.
In the night, the girl was so happy that she has got a perfect collection. And she goes to sleep thinking about the pabbles. But, on the other hand, the boy could not sleep, as he thinks, if the girl has also put some candies on her, as he did.
The Morel: What you give, that you take. Whatever the relationship is, trust is essential. If one is cheating, he will always think that the other person is also cheating him. As you believe, you grow up. So, think positive. Be honest. It is the ultimate secret to your success.
Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek. Mario Andretti
Once a boy asks an old man, "what is the secret of success?" The man told the boy that to meet him on the riverside the following day.
The boy gets ready and goes to the riverside the following day to meet the older man. The man and the boy started walking through the river till the boy's nose ducked in the water.
Now, the older man punches the boy's head inside the water and doesn't let him come up. The boy struggles a lot to come out, but the man pushes him in the opposite direction. The boy feels that a fish is swimming underneath his leg, and he tried to come up hard.
Now, the man pulls the boy and makes his breathing. And, asked him, "when you were inside the water, what did you want?" The boy replied, "The Air." Yeah, this is the secret of success.
Until and unless you want success, like wanting air, you can not achieve it.
The Morel: The desires give birth to Success. If you want to be in the pot, just because you can, you won't be able to get success. On the other hand, if you desire success as essential as the air, you will definitely go to get it.
The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way. Robert Kiyosaki
Once, a leader in a seminar hall shows the audience of 200 people a $50 pouch. Then he asked them, " who wants this pouch?" And everyone raises their hand in the air.
He said, "I will give this money to any one of you. But before that.....he asked one again, who wants the pouch?" And again, everyone agreed.
Then he tried to make as much money as possible as it hardly looks like wasted tissue paper. And, he again asked the audience whether they want it or not. And, everyone again agreed to have it.
The Morel: No matter how challenging your life is, how challenging the situation is, your life and the worth of your life don't decrease. Often you might face the case where you feel inadequate but remember your worth. And be proud of it. As if you value yourself, the world will love you.
You don't have to be a genius or a visionary or even a college graduate to be successful. You just need a framework and a dream. Michael Dell
Once, in a small village, there was a businessman who was having huge debts. And, he was not in the condition to return all his obligations to the bank. Moreover, the banker was an old and unappealing man who firmly wanted to marry that businessman's daughter.
One day, the business owner went to the banker and wanted to have a deal so that he doesn't have to pay the debts. Banker puts a condition of marrying his daughter. But, the business's owner didn't want to do that. But, he didn't have any choice to be debt-free as the debts were too huge to return.
He will put two stones in a bag, black and white. If the girl chooses the white stone blindly, the businessman's debts will be cleared, and the daughter will not have to marry him. And if she selects the black stone, she will have to marry him, and the debts will be cleared.
The banker picks up two black stones. The daughter was watching the banker from the window.
Once, A mommy camel and her newborn were turning in, soaking up the sun. The baby camel asked his mum, “Why are we with these large bumps on our back?”
The mammy thinks for some time and then said, “We are living in the desert where there is a shortage of water. Our humps reserve water to support us survive on long trips." The baby camel again questions, “Well, what is the use of these long legs with rounded feet?”
His mum answered back, “They are signified to enable us to walk through the sand.” The baby asked the third question, “Why are my eyelashes so long?”The mother answered, “Your long eyelashes you from sand when it hits in the wind.”
In the last, the baby asked, “if we all have the skills naturally to live our life, then what is the use of the Camels in Zoo?"
The Moral: It shows that your abilities won't have meaning until you use them. You might have heard about the persons, who have left their jobs to follow their dreams. Now, you have to decide, you either want to do your job only, or to live your dream. Maybe your plan gives you a struggle initially. But, it would help if you had the confidence that you will make a change. Think big, keep growing.
All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure. Mark Twain
Once, there was a king. One day, he thought of experimenting on these people. So, he put a massive rock in the middle of the road, and hide nearby to see, what people do seeing the stone on the road.
After waiting for some time, he sees some wealthy merchants passing by. They walk by the rock, blaming the king that is not doing his duties. Then after some time, a peasant goes by the same way.
He had some heavy stuff over his head. Seeing the rock in the middle of the road, he stopped and tried to move the rock sideways.
It takes some time for him to clear the road, but he does it and goes back to his work. The next day, the same thing happens, but this time, there was a change.
He saw a sag filled with gold coins with a letter saying, "It is the reward for your work you did yesterday." It was the king who placed the sag for his work.
The Morel: Don't complain about things. Take action to make a change. You have the strength to challenge situations that look tough. So, go ahead, and challenge the challenging situation. Also, karma comes back. So, if your karma is good, you will get a good reward and vice versa.
Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds. Orison Swett Marden
A long time ago, a man was living at $99 social insurance bills, at the age of 65, in a small house. Even at the age of 65s, he wanted to do something to change his life. He was thinking about what he should do so that he can change his life. And, he had an idea. He thought of the selling fried chicken recipe that his family and friends loved.
With the thought, he leaves his home and visits various restaurants to sell his recipe. But he fails. He gets around 1009 Nos. He was also ready to give it for free, but no one agreed. In the last when he visited 1010 restaurants, he spawns a Yes.
His name is Colonel Hartland Sanders. And, the rest of the history, you know.
The Moral: This story gives you too many lessons. First is, it's never too late for a start. In the society of younger strength, Colonel Sanders has set an example; age is just a number. The second is belief in yourself. Have confidence in yourself. The third is consistency: one story, many lessons.
Success isn't measured by money or power or social rank. Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. Mike Ditka
Once, there was a seminar in an auditorium. The host asked people, "how many of you are moved on with your past?" Very few hands were raised. Then to change the environment, he cracks the joke, and everyone started laughing.
Then, the guy cracks the same joke for the second time. This time, very few people laugh. Then, he again cracks the joke. This time, no one laughed.
Then, he explains that if you can laugh at the same trick, why do you complain and stuck with your past?
Going back in the past and again and thinking about the past can't be the solution for any of the problems; it will not assist you with anything, anyway.
The Morel: People in this world are so happy and comfortable with their past. They keep complaining about the same and don't want to see the present and the future. Instead, they should learn to deal with the situation and start looking at every moment in a new way.
There are people who make things happen, there are people who watch things happen, and there are people who wonder what happened. To be successful, you need to be a person who makes things happen. Jim Lovell
Once, a man was coming to an elephant camp. He notices that all the elements were tied with a single rope, and it was tied in a leg only. Every elephant had the same situation. He got confused, so he goes to one of the trainers there.
He asks the trainer, "why the elephants are not breaking the rope and trying to get free. When they easily can do it. They have enough of the strength to do this."
The trainer replies to the man, "when the elephants were small, the rope was enough to hold them. The elephants are tied with the same rope from their childhood to adulthood. But, today also, the elephants think that they can't break the tope, and thus they don't try to do this."
The Morel: In the story, the elephants have made their opinions that they can't get through the situation when they easily can do it. They are stuck ad their past condition and don't even try to deal with the states with the new attitude.
The same thing applies to the human. If they have made any past mistakes, they think they should not repeat the situation without pain and failure.
Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally. David Frost
Once, a man came to know about a mine, where he was supposed to find the diamonds. He worked so hard for so long, quitting all his works.
After some time, it was so tiresome for him to continue his mining. And, he left the work. After some days, another man came to know about the incident. And he decides to keep the mining continue from where the first man leaves the work. As soon as he started, in two-three days, he gets the diamond.
The Morel: We learn here that never give up on anything. You might never know; the success could be just in front of you after some steps more.
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. Booker T. Washington

Happiness! How many of you truly know the actual meaning of happiness? It might be significantly more minor and countable because most people don't know where their happiness lies. The reason for this is as simple as understanding the fact that you are alive. But, if you are not happy, are you alive? Are you enjoying your life? Is, being comfortable means enjoying the surrounding only? Have you found your source of being happy?
