 Hi friends and welcome to my blog.

In all the previous episodes, we have mostly seen various glitches around us, and dealing with these glitches is crucial. Equally important is preparing us to “Live a Good life”.  Before going through the provision of others in our life, it is vital to observe what we can do to upgrade ourselves. I mean to say- what is in our hands? In this blog, I want to elucidate some of these tips to Live a Good Life which lies in our own hands.

What Matters in life?

The ultimate question that may arise in our mind is-What really matters in life? We are sure that the ultimate goal is to live a Good Life. But to achieve this, the aspects that matter is  the main thing of concern.

Coming to what are we considering in this blog, we will try to make list of what people or things that matter for us? The aim mentioned seems to be simple but the decision is arduous. These complex decisions are hard to handle, but it is important to at least understand their impact on life. Let us shed light on this dimension(s) in this blog.

When we try to decode above question, we can get its two aspects: People and Things. As a comparison, decisions regarding people is complicated compared to that regarding activities, things etc. We will try to peep into both the aspects here.

My chronicle

I was in my final year of graduation. I wanted to explore life in its fullest. But I never had a idea of how to do it. Balancing career and passion was a big challenge in front of me. I was hurtled to fact that I was not ready yet. I need to know what actually matters to me. I started my research to find out my answers.

Things that matter in life

Making our life a efficient and better one is in our hands. And I believe it to the fullest.  To the best of my knowledge and research, following are the things that matter in our life:

PEACE:  This depicts keeping life in a balanced and tranquilized state. As said by many luminaries, one should not let external situations to alter or hamper inner peace. And it is absolutely true. Foremost and most important of all aspects is leading a peaceful life. Now the question may arise, how can this be done? The first tip is letting yourself do what you want. Experts suggest some tips for this; these include listening to music, going for a walk, meditation etc. These are among the common day to day activities as recommendations.

HEALTH:  Having a good health adds up to peace in mind and thus life. This mainly happen in two ways, following healthy habits and having healthy foods. Healthy habits include the above said suggestions. Whereas, Healthy food implies having large amount of vegetables and fruits. Appropriate food can be selected as per individual choice and requirements. I will try to elucidate in other episode.

PASSION & GOAL: Everyone has a passion in his (Her) life. There is always confusion between Passion and Goal. Passion is what we love to do, whereas Goal is deciding what we want to achieve or accomplish in our life. Passion plays equal role as that of a goal. Goal is a long span concept. Whereas, passion is an instantaneous concept at every part of our life. Doing things that we love at least in our leisure time improves positivity and creates a sensation of motivation. This may include hobbies, showcasing talents, skills etc.

                Having a purpose of life is vital. It is closely related to having a Goal. It is because only after setting a goal and working for it, we can assure a sense of discipline towards our life.

TIME:  Time is considered the most precious thing in the world. The time lost is never gained back. We need to understand the value and spend time wisely. Spending some time on hobbies and passion adds to happy life style.

LEARNING: It is a common saying that Learning is a continuous process. One should never stop learning in his (her) life. The way and topics of learning may change from person to person. One may learn to strengthen career, whereas some learn to simplify life. Whatever may be the reason, learning always helps individual.

Right choice in life makes great changes. A single decision may change the direction and fate.

What People matters us the most?

This is the complicated topic considered to the previous. Definitely in nutshell, family, friends and well wishers are crucial. I will elucidate this dimension in the next episode.

Interpretation(s)
