Happiness demands Courage
Did you know that Happiness and Courage is related?
Happiness demands courage as highlighted in this blog post.
In the book The Courage to be Disliked, the authors have mentioned at length the fact that happiness is not a function of the past or the environment an individual is part of.
On the contrary to be satisfied with our lives we need to muster the right amount of grit to stay cheerful irrespective of our surroundings.
As a result of this even very wealthy individuals who have made a lot of fortune are seldom satisfied. Whereas lower and middle class individuals by virtue of exhibiting the right amount of strength stay content with their current lives.
The insight highlighted from this book illustrates the fact.

The PRESENT is a GIFT
Daily writing promptIf you had to get a tattoo right now, what would it be and why?Let your Tattoo remind you of this GIFT
The tattoo I would have would reflect the fact that the PRESENT moment is a GIFT from god to serve as a constant reminder to enjoy the moment.
The quirk of our brain is that it hates focusing on the present moment. Hence it is normal for our mind to constantly feel depressed of the past and worried about the future.
When we are mindful and show our gratitude to god for gifting us the present moment, our life becomes blissful with joy.
Hence practice mindfulness and let your tattoo always remind you of this reality.

Dealing with UNCERTAINTY
How to deal with the UNKNOWN?
Deal with Uncertainty can be really nerve racking and we need to be fearless enough to face the challenges associated with it.
Planning for unknown times is an advise we receive from most but is something that seldom works when we are faced with associated challenges.
I love this quote from Simon Sinek on plan and planning. This is a constant reminder to all of us to not obsess over planning.
We need to be courageous enough to deal with unexpected situations in life by focusing on the present moment.
The best way to plan your goals is to set short term goals and sub-goals which are measurable.
