One of the important rules for the success of any task we undertake is a paucity of time. Enough time makes you lazy and comfortable. The lack of time gives you focus, prioritisation, and optimal utilization of energy and resources.
People often complain but with scarcity, you put your 100% and try to capture every microsecond that’s available and is given to us.
Serenity
The most practical question we can ask about a difficult situation is: Is it
in our control or is it not? Sweating over situations that aren’t in our
control isn’t the right choice on any given day.
Relationship
If your friend calls you stupid, most probably you shrug it off or say something even more stupid depending on your mood and energy at that moment. However, your shoulders and a big heart cannot tolerate if some stranger calls you that especially when he cuts you off on a highway.
I think based on our relationship with the speaker we determine what kind of meaning and emotional weight words have. For instance, when relatives or family members say even something very trivial we get hurt and decide to abandon them but if the same is done by our partner, we think about how cute those words are. Or if it is by our brother or sister then in fact we take delight in those insensitive words.
So, what we want to take from words and to what extent should we get affected is based on our relationships with the talker.
Biographies
Make sure that at least kids read biographies of people if not grown-up adults because young minds need to know what kind of obstacles, anxieties, fears, questions, and doubts people face when they embark on a difficult journey. And they also remind them about the potential that each one of us has and the kind of character we should embrace to live in this world. They show lives with all their flaws, hopes, and shortcomings. This prepares them for the tides of life.
Children
Kids are the real deal. They can bend realities, unlike adults who never dare to. If the little one wants a toy then there’s literally nothing in the world that can stop that wish. They cry, laugh, terrorize, throw something at you, and do all sorts of things to make sure you get that for them. And by chance, if you forget it then they bug you and remind you how important the task is. They literally won’t sleep until the thing is done, literally and figuratively. Time, money, and stupidity are never constraints to them. But grown-ups can’t even chase one wild idea.
Kids never see reality checks!
