Sometimes we feel burdened by people’s expectations. Expectations of our father, mother, grandmother, grandfather, teachers, friends, spouse, office colleagues, children, and so many other people in our life. They seem to control our choices and decisions. People try hard to live up to expectations of other people, but most are not completely successful. Everyone cannot be happy with us all the time, so trying to match the needs can only leave us exhausted. People’s expectations creat pressure inside us and lead towards fear of not being able to make them happy. This lowers over efficiency. Set goals, plan, execute, achieve and enjoy your success– every thing based on your capacity, your priorities and your principles. Care selflessly and give your best in every relationship. After that, stop worrying, whether you meet others expectations, whether you get approval or whether you are seen as good enough. Set clear boundaries for yourself and communicate it to others. Love yourself and radiate love to others. But if you live a life, trying to keep up with other’s expectations, even when it is not in your capacity, you cannot be happy. Your unhappiness radiates, vibrations of pain and discomfort even to those with whose expectation you are trying to meet and harms the energy of your relationships. Do not agree to do something you don’t want to do. Refuse politely and firmly and do not feel guilty about it. Be authentic and people will accept you for who you are and as you are.

 When you replace ‘lose’ with ‘learn’ the thought of failure becomes less daunting & lets you focus on growth. Let the failures in your life be your learning experiences. Avoid failures by analysing your perspective of such earlier occurrences. Further, make your experiences available to others so that alround failures can be minimised. A very important part of our lives is touching, heart warming each one we meet with our love and best wishes at every step. We all know what a good natured, complaisant, cheerful person is and that we should be one and give happiness, contentment, pleasure to everyone. We all also know that people all over the world, who are nice natured, benevolent, amiable, friendly, differ from the rest of the world & stand above everyone else. They are respected more and also they get the blessings, commendation grace of everyone much more. How often do we say, such a person is extremely kind hearted, is always giving care and support to all those whom h...

 At the end of each day, we tick off items from our ‘To- Do’ list. Kindly let us also check our ‘To- Be’ list. Daily self evaluation, estimation, judgment, appraisal is a healthy practice and the key to success, accomplishment, achievement in every sphere of our lives. At some point or the other, we receive feedback, assessment, estimation, response from other people about our inner personality, character, nature, charisma of who we are, who we can be, and how can we improve, enhance, upgrade, boost. Instead of knowing ourselves through the eyes of others, we can self evaluate ourselves daily and improve our inner personality. This will bring a drastic, exorbitant, extravagant, desperate change in your looks, your behaviour, attitude, conduct, your personality, temperament, charisma without fail. You may not get a chance to partake in some gigantic, extensive, enormous, colossal scheme of service through which millions may be aided, helped, benefitted; you can lift a lame lamb over...
