Status check of our life
In the present fast-paced age, we are “online”, and checking our gadgets almost all the time (smart phones at least – with it’s now established drawbacks and negative effects on our personal & social life, anxiety, self-esteem, and increased instant gratification attitude). In the process, we overlook the essential “status check” to be carried out on our motivation levels, and balancing of our emotions affecting our lives. By adopting such a status check on a more regular basis, we will be able to overcome & avoid a number of pitfalls in our life, and to achieve overall happiness & growth in our relationships.
We are living in a world which is constantly becoming competitive. We have somehow learnt to be critical and

Such a situation can indeed turn dangerous for some people, and many may feel that the easiest way to get rid of their problems is by taking some harsh actions, including the extreme act of committing suicide. They find it very difficult to realise and apprehend that suicide is not the solution to their problems, however big they might seem to be. We must not surrender and feel weak, but instead should learn to face them head-on and find solutions. We ought to fight our problems courageously. Life is very precious – no one can afford to lose it just because the current problem seems to be unconquerable, as of now. We should learn to take and treat them as just a temporary phase of …show more content…
Let us fill our mind with the highest thoughts, speak them to ourselves, hear them day after day and think them moment after moment. We should not mind failures and struggles – they are natural. If we fail a thousand times, let us make a sincere attempt, one more time, to get up and achieve what we actually want to achieve.
Human beings have the power to concentrate. We can all concentrate upon those things that we love, and it is only natural that we will love those things upon which we concentrate our minds. We will then be able to control our mind instead of it controlling us.
The beauty is that concentration can be improved by developing the power of detachment. The power of the human mind is limitless. Regular and regulated breathing is the start point that puts our body in a harmonious condition, and it then becomes easier to reach the mind.
With passage of time and proper practice, we will be able to learn that nothing in this universe has the power over us, until we allow it to exercise such a power. We are the masters of our thoughts and thus our mind - not the other way

    During difficult, trying times some people feel helpless and give up way too easily. Others somehow find enough strength to find solutions to their problems. Whether giving up is done consciously or unconsciously, one thing for sure is that the outcomes are two immensely distinct scenarios. A door of hope is permanently shut when the will to try is lost. On the other hand, when we hold on a bit longer and have that small push—a voice that says, “keep going,” the possibilities are endless.…

    The Commencement of a Life Time David Foster Wallace addressed the graduating class of Kenyon College in 2005. He stated that “It is the real value of a real education, which has almost nothing to do with knowledge, and everything to do with simple awareness; awakened of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all of the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over “This is water, this is water” (They say, I say 209). He spoke mainly over thought, what to think about and how people always have the choice. Another one of his main points was that a person’s “default settings” are completely self centered…
