Road to Perfection

Life is heading towards perfection isn’t it? We want perfection and it’s of three kinds:

Perfection in action or work

Perfection in speech

Perfection in feelings or attention

Some people may be very good in their action, but inside they feel very grumpy and angry. Some may lie, their speech is not perfect, but they do their jobs right, or they feel right. A doctor may tell a patient, “don’t worry! Your disease will be cured.” But that may not be true. At times, the intention behind lying is perfect.  If someone lies intentionally, the feeling is imperfect, the speech is imperfect and so the action will reflect the same. Suppose someone makes a mistake and you get angry, looking at that mistake, then, you are no better than the person, who made the mistake because there the action was imperfect, but here your feelings have become imperfect! Any action will have some flaw, but when feelings become imperfect, they stay for longer period… the innermost perfection is lost.

Be thankful for the qualities you have been bestowed with because they are not of your own making. These qualities depend on the part that you have been given to play. When you understand this basic truth, then your inner perfection becomes stable.

The recognition of imperfections leads you to more perfection!

A Challenge Taken Can Change Your Life

One question you might have is: what challenge should I take?
This is an important question to answer. Why? Because working on a challenge could take months or even years. Nobody wants to spend years working on the wrong thing, so you should choose your challenge wisely.
I’ll share with you how to choose a challenge, but before we start, you may want to list all your possible challenges first. Look at your dreams and desires. Look at the possibilities in front of you. Just write whatever comes into your mind.
Now, having known the options you have, the first step is to filter them to get only the most promising ones. To do that, ask yourself this question for each option:
Is it something I love doing?
Here is another way to ask the question:
Suppose I didn’t have to worry about money, would I gladly spend my time doing it?
Think about it for a moment. You don’t need to worry about money. You can do whatever you want. In such a situation, will you gladly do it? Or perhaps you will never do it if you don’t need the money?
Looking back, all my fruitful effort has this question answered with a clear “yes.” Take blogging, for example. I started this blog simply because I love writing about personal development. I didn’t start this blog to make money. Suppose I didn’t have to worry about money, I would still blog.
This question helps you see your true motivation. Having the right motivation is important because working on a challenge isn’t easy (it’s a challenge, after all). If you aren’t passionate about it, it will be difficult for you to stay motivated in the long term. You will stop before you achieve success. This is especially true if the motivation is money. These people, when they can’t see financial results in relatively short time, become discouraged and stop working on the challenge.
There is another reason why having a “yes” here is important: Don’t just try to reach the destination; you should enjoy the journey as well. Why should you torture yourself along the way if you can do something you enjoy?
So look at your list and cross the items that don’t pass the filter.

• Now, for those things that are left, you need to choose one of them to work and focus on. How? Here is a question I’ve found useful for this purpose:

Which one would give me the most regret if I didn’t do it?
The idea is, you should choose a challenge that helps you avoid as much potential regret as possible.
To answer this second question, imagine yourself years from now. Imagine yourself looking back at the possibilities in your life that you didn’t take. Which one would make you regret the most?
That’s the challenge you should take. ACCEPT CHALLENGES WITH PATIENCE...
you can go through any problems, situations, challenges whatever the conditions may be when you accept them and take positive approach towards completing them

Being Awesome

"Go placidly amid the noise & haste & remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull & ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain & bitter; for always there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not fin affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a Child of the Universe, no less than the trees & the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy." :))
