How To Harness Power of Boredom For Achievement

November 4, 2008 by Arun Pal Singh · Leave a Comment 

Boredom is one of the most important things in human life. It exists only when the mind starts coming closer to enlightenment. And boredom is just the polar opposite of enlightenment!

We have so many entertainment resources at our disposal. TV, radio, cinema, internet, books, movies, songs, concerts, shows and so on. But still we are more yearning and more bored when compared to people in thenpast ages when nothing of this sort was ther.

An intelligent and intelligent and above-average person can get bored easily. Does this imply that people are more intelligent these days?

You need to be sensitive to get bored.

Today, people live very luxurious lives. Even the mythical paradise has become out of date and context, as we have more comforts and more luxuries than ever before!

Gautama Buddha, inspite of all the comforts of life at his feet got fed up and left in search of truth, of self-actualisation, of permanent contentment.

However, we hope that, one day, everything will become all right and we will be content. So, we are bored but not fully because somewhere we feel that much more is possible in our lives.

We should observe this phenomenon of boredom more closely. It will make us understand that boredom is very human and it has a higher purpose if we allow that purpose to lead us to meditation and transform our lives.

Boredom comes with monotonyYou have done all those things earlier. There is monotony. Nothing has changed. Boredom indicates that you have become conscious of this.

If you escape from boredom, you would try diverting your mind in other directions. Alcohol, drugs, infidelity stems from this phenomenon of escapism..

Boredom is a part of human growth. We need constant simulations to keep ourselves occupied. That is why we keep looking for new goals, new cars, new houses, new friends, new clothes, new promotions because being content can make life dull and boring.

Boredom should be looked at positive way. Give yourself new tasks, new challenge every now and then. Do a new thing to spice up your life. Learn a new language, learn new instrument. Read few new books.

Use intertia of boredom to produce postive life energy.

Achieve Your Goals and Create Success

August 17, 2008 by Arun Pal Singh · Leave a Comment 

Each of us has a desire to achieve and succeed. But when it comes to reaching the pinnacle of success, it can be difficult to know where to turn for advice. It seems that everyone and his brother is touting the one way to the greatest level of achievement, and it can be hard to know whom to trust.

The real truth is that there is no one key to achievement. What works for one person may not necessarily be right for the next person.

It is important, therefore, to evaluate your own individual goals when thinking about your achievement and accomplishments. Every person will have a different set of goals, and therefore they will need a different strategy for achieving those goals. While some employees have their eyes on the corner office, and see this as the ultimate achievement, others would rather put in their time as a quality employee and take early retirement to enjoy the rest of their life. These two goals are very different, so it just makes sense that how these goals are achieved will differ.

Other people may view achievement as not being an employee at all. Many people view the ultimate achievement as being responsible for themselves by starting their own business and being in charge of their own future. There is nothing like owning a business to bring yourself face to face with the importance of achievement and goals. If you can serve the customer better than anyone else, your business is likely to be a success. Many people love the challenges of running their own business, as well as the sense of achievement and accomplishment that comes with it.

Of course, the importance of achievement does not end at the office door. Achievement and self-fulfillment are just as important to a successful and happy personal life as they are to a profitable and fulfilling business life. Setting personal goals, and enjoying the feeling of achievement that comes with meeting them is every bit as important as being successful at your job and enjoying what you do.

Unfortunately, many people get so wrapped up in making their careers a success that they fail to focus on the importance of their personal lives. It is important to include your family in any major decisions, and to take time to enjoy their many goals and achievements as well as your own. Without a happy personal life, even the greatest financial success can be hollow and unfulfilling.

The bottom line is that there is no single key to success and achievement, no matter how much we wish there were. Every person must make his or her own plans for achieving their most important goals, and those goals will be different for every individual. The key to a successful and happy career is much the same as the key to a happy and successful personal life. The secret is to balance the personal and the professional, to set goals properly, and to know what is truly important in your life. Read more

Courage And Determined Effort

March 6, 2008 by Arun Pal Singh · Leave a Comment 

Carlyle has said that the first requisite to success is carefully to find your life work and then bravely to carry it out. No soldier ever won a succession of triumphs, and no business man, no matter how successful in the end, who did not find his beginning slow, arduous and discouraging. Courage is a prime essential to prosperity. The young man’s progress may be slow in comparison with his ambition, but if he keeps a brave heart and sticks persistently to it, he will surely succeed in the end.

The forceful, energetic character, like the forceful soldier on the battle-field, not only moves forward to victory himself, but his example has a stimulating influence on others.

Energy of character has always a power to evoke energy in others. It acts through sympathy, one of the most influential of human agencies. The zealous, energetic man unconsciously carries others along with him. His example is contagious and compels imitation. He exercises a sort of electric power, which sends a thrill through every fibre, flows into the nature of those about him, and makes them give out sparks of fire. Read more
