Dearest Darling friends,
We go to a restaurant. We are presented
a feedback form. We visit a webpage. We are encouraged to post our
comments about it. (Even we in Life School, do that. When you post
your comments on our website, it helps us to improve).
 We listen to a song and we can rate that song
and express our views on it. You watch a serial and your opinions
are presented as a valuable tool to make a difference in the
participant’s life.
Unknowingly, it has become our need to
give a feedback (good or bad) on things, people and events. We have
made it the major shareholder of the mind, emotions and
intelligence.
We can no more enjoy a flower for it is
a flower, now we need to judge its beauty in comparison to the one
we saw last. Most of us have lost the ability to simply enjoy a
paani puri; we compare it with the one place where we relish the
taste. We make sure everyone present hears our expert opinion. As
much as we have developed a craving to give a feedback, we have also
become over sensitive to the opinion of others.
Now our confidence level depends largely
on others around us. We just need to overhear a negative comment
about us, and we crumble down or we get angry and decide to prove a
point.
Our peace, our happiness largely depends
on what others do to us and say about us. Even worst, the decisions
of our life depend on the current trends and fads.
In this huge complex web of
opinions, what keeps us stable, focussed, and centered is the
awareness of our Objectives.
When we are clear about our objectives,
honest feedbacks help us to grow; baseless comments or bad behaviour
does not affect us much. Setbacks do not stop us.
Negative comments, beliefs and behaviour
have a bearing on us but POSITIVELY for we are
clear about our objectives. Our excitement and enthusiasm is no more
at the mercy of others. We are strong because focus is on our
objectives.
You plan to go on a drive with your
loved ones because you want to be with them. The plan changes and it
is decided to go for a dinner. When you remember the objective was
not the drive but time with your loved one, the dinner is enjoyed to
the hilt. Otherwise, there will be sadness in the air even if the
dinner is brilliantly tasty.
When my objective is to inspire my loved
ones, I do not indulge in activities that will give opposite
results.
When my objective is to be in the right
company to have a meaningful life, I have to drop a few
relationships that pull me emotionally and socially down even when
it means I am out of ‘the group’.
When my objective is to have good
health, nothing in the world can push me towards an unhealthy
lifestyle even when people are sarcastic.
When my objective is to be peaceful, I
do not nurture painful memories, but, focus on the learnings from
those experiences and live a wiser life.
When I am clear about the objective of
my life, decision-making no more remains challenging. Even the
biggest of decisions are easy to take.
Wise people have said, ‘When our
eyes are on the sun, we can no longer see the shadow’. When my
objectives are clear I no more blame, complain or give excuses when
faced with failures / obstacles.
Do commit to things and relationships
that are in sync with your objectives. Success that matters to you,
will embrace you. You will look back and love yourself for the way
you have lived your life.
As a student what is your objective?
As a wife / husband what is your
objective?
As a businessman / professional what is
your objective?
As a friend what is your objective?
As a reader of this Life School Message, what is your objective?
( Do send a feedback about this LSM. Ha ha ha )
In other areas that matter to you, what
are your objectives?
Lets live OBJECTIVELY.
Whatever happens ---- “Keep Moving” towards your objectives and never
away from them.
With love, prayers and best wishes,
naren
