Designing a lifestyle of our own

Lifestyle is the way a person lives, is an internet definition. But the real meaning is choosing that life of what makes you happy and live with that zeal each and every day is what “living” should be.

Again, living has a unique approach even when you compare a lovable couple, you and your best friend. It differs from one soul to another. I may love a lifestyle that has nothing but mountains around me but my friends love a lifestyle of being successful in life. In this case, both of us are doing what we love, and “we are choosing our lifestyle”.

Let’s not take a small breathe, after reading this blog let’s take a deeper one to understand ourselves and to create a happy lifestyle.

1. Read your mind

So it’s not for the next few days, you can take any few days from your life to read your peace, passion, and purpose. Try to cut yourself from the regular channels of life in those few days to get a deeper understanding. Don’t worry I don’t promote here to live a hermit lifestyle. All we need is that silence and discipline to understand ourselves.

Because-

We live a lifestyle by compulsion and not giving or thinking about the choice we had. You should live your life, not the life that goes a tour on you. 

For the next 20-40 years, we are going to live, so why can’t take that damn step to design a lifestyle of our choice and purpose?

Remember: If you need a job at a top MNC, it should be because, you wanted to, not by the force of someone or something.

2. The real discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes

See, this may be a repetition of many posts but there is always “you” before anything. You need to live with purpose and happiness. Never get influenced by someone’s purpose of motivation that may be more money, fame, and a lot of cars. Your way of success may not even deal with having lots of cars, right?

Again, success defines an individual’s happiness and not a world’s point of view. Try to understand this very clearly, all the successful people may not be happy but all the happiest minds who achieved that happiness and purpose are successful. So be successful in achieving your own happiness.

3. The art of letting go

As life evolves, we move to the next level only if we give up old habits and passions. It may be a habit, passion, person, or thing, but we must let go of it at the right time like a cricketer who retires with grace at the appropriate time.

Let us take Olympics, it is an emotional event. To win that medal, you need a different level of sacrifice but the win is worth it, right?

You can't achieve your purpose by simply living in your comfort zone. Wake up and buck up to work for it every day. Small priorities will take you to larger milestones. Again, you may be even happier when you are in your comfort zone and that can be your purpose.

4. Individual metrics

See my metric of happiness may be a total opposite to your metrics of happiness. Your parents, your teachers, your best friends, your boss may not know that right? They may just suggest a metric that they think that can suit you. But it will not and it shouldn’t be the way of choosing a lifestyle right?

5. How to achieve it?

I am not giving you a three-step mantra that can fetch you results. This is a very basic step for most people to just start.

1. Goals: Keep it clear and clever.

2. Find your problem and weaknesses that are associated with that goal: “To know what you don’t know, accepting things we fail at and throwing your ego that paints that as we know everything”

3. Designing precedes doing: Always design before you do. Go back before you go forward.

4. Execution demands courage. After doing everything it takes that courage to move forward.

Reminders: Sleep, Environment, and health should be our biggest priorities.

What I was doing for the past 3 weeks?

Nothing. But I couldn't write or think anything. I lost my creative side and was so confused with other works. But I was happy, took some time to go out, eat and play. Sorry guys for not being regular.

Learned some beautiful lines from other blogs and would be glad to share those with you:

• We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

• The people you meet in your life have the power to change it.

• Forgetfulness only makes most of our lives interesting; otherwise, we will get stuck in a time warp. Life events are like passing clouds; some move slowly, some fast. There were sunny and rainy days, breezy events, and stormy periods. But, we have to move on.

Thank you guys for reading till the end. I hope you guys are happy and safe. Enjoy the 2nd phase of IPL and all the best for your respective teams. Have a great week. Do like, share, comment and scroll down to subscribe if you haven't (I have a goal of getting 500 subscribers by this year)
