I saw this statement written by my boss in our old office. I was confused back then, why did he make it so bold. Now I think, I know, some of the reasons.
Someone dies because you do not respond your phone. Someone’s birth is delayed due to a traffic jam. The plane is going nose dive down, and I am told, there is no hurry.
Friends, I agree with it. Plane will hit the ground, if it is a broken wing, expired engines or damaged belly. There is nothing stopping it from hitting loud. And there is nothing stopping you from death. Things happen anyways, our hurriedness only spoils the fun.
We will discuss today, why staying calm is more important than trying to control the crashing plane
- Life is about comfort and ease
- We do not have a control over any thing around us
1 — Life is fun ONLY
You want to influence, get rich, find peace and raise a generation more successful than you. You want people respect you. You want a name in your town. You want you do not miss out the Fun?
It is all accessible to you, right now. Right now start acting weird to your mother, brother and father. Start talking to people using pre-scheduled meetings. Start speaking to more people as a writer or a speaker. Right now, embrace the attitude of a millionaire.
Initially they will all label you a weirdo. Later they will label you ignorant. Down this road, some days later, they will label you a good person. And very soon, they will give you their ear. You will influence them, teach them, befriend them, and rise with them.
Changing your attitude right now, will lift your status in everybody’s eyes, right now. The first label your way, tells you, you have begun your journey to influencing minds and winning hearts.
I guarantee you, you will not lose your job, wife or car. It will all still be there. You will not fail your exams. It will all still be here. You will not fall behind, one tiny step, in your career; it will all be presented to you in a nicely decorated souvenir.
2 — Stop trying to CONTROL
We all defend our egos. Fight hard to win arguments. Plan great things to make sure we win. Our entire life revolves around, winning the next presentation, assignment or discussion. We are in a state of competition to somehow prove to the world, they were wrong and you were right.
I say, do all the effort and you will still fail to convince them, they are wrong. You are one speck on this world, that will never create one cm of an impact. Stop working hard, because things are not in your control.
You might ask, “Then we should not work at all ?”
The perfect answer you will get today, is, “YES, Stop Working Right Now”.
Anything that is not fun, is not worth it. Stop wasting your energy to meet other’s expectations. When you already know, there is not an inch of control over what happens to you in your future, your worrying about it, is not worth it.
Conclusion
Relax, chill, enjoy and live. Sleep. Watch movies and eat pop corns. Dance, sing and go high. Just start living.
I know, it is stupid to waste your time and not put in any work towards your future. I know I am saying wrong things.
But, I am done with giving the complete suggestions and lengthier plans. You got to figure it out yourself. I can only tell you, if it is not fun, it is not really worth it.
