TO LIVE IS THE RAREST THING IN THE WORLD, MOST PEOPLE EXIST, THAT'S ALL

Current is the most crucial period where we all are living a different lifestyle, and we are also not in our most comfort zones or our daily regime. Nevertheless, we are at least with our family or our loved ones. The expectation is the word which kills happiness. So, life is a balance between what we can control and what we cannot. To find the balance, we need to find peace within, and it should not be affected by the outside circumstances. Live the life to the fullest and enjoy all the small joys of life.

The only factor people keep in consideration is to live when things fall in place. They will start to live when the situation is perfect as per their definition. Situation and circumstances are never perfect. So people live to exist, waiting for the right time. That never ought to come. However, if they learn the art of balancing – they will enjoy their life at a very stage and situation.

"Balance is the key to everything. What we do, think, say, eat, feel, they all require awareness, and through this awareness, we can grow."

We can create Balance with a positive approach towards things, by pushing away all negative thoughts and absorbing positivity from each person we meet.Positive thinking is an optimistic state of mind, which sees the bright side of life. A positive frame of mind brings more harmony and happiness, improves relationships, and attracts success in life.

FIND INNER PEACE

Life is a balance between what we can control and what we cannot. Also a little balance on not missing out some of the marvels of life. Things around us, the fun, excitement or other challenges in life. To find the balance, we need to find peace within, and it should not be affected by the outside circumstances. Current is the most crucial period where we all are living a different lifestyle, and we are also not in our most comfort zones or our daily regime.

Nevertheless, we are at least with our family or our loved ones. Seeing them around gives us peace of mind, along with it arise the expectations. The expectation is the word which kills happiness. Most of the time, we are troubled and do not act on the things we want to do, because we expect and look for validations from them.

EXPECTATIONS KILLS HAPPINESS

We also hurt ourselves as we expect the other person to understand what we expect out of them and in the way we develop the feeling of hatred and jealousness with the person whom we love. However, to make life more livable and balanced, we should only trust ourselves and do what our heart says. There may be vast possibilities that we fail, or we realize that this was not right, but it is always good to trust oneself and keep learning from failures—also its good to share the expectation other than just waiting things to happen.

In every step of life, we face challenges, where we feel lonely and find no one to understand us, but if we make ourself our best friend than things will turn positive. The new confidence will make a difference. We will start radiatingenergy of positivity which will attract all the people to get drawn to us. Even in the process to achieve, we should not lose focus but start believing ourselves.

WORK ON YOUR WEAKNESSES

With each passing day work, we should work on our weaknesses, and even a small contribution to our goal will bring us closer and make the journey exciting and give clarity to our aim. The more close we are, the more reflection on happiness it will bring to our heart.

SMALL CONTRIBUTION CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Sometimes we are surrounded by our priorities which we say our responsibilities, do not just giveup seeing them. We still have a desire for a goal and objective in our life and work towards it. It would be best if we are persistence. Even if it is a dull, lazy day, also if it is a day we are tired and sick, work for an hour on it as our daily chorus. It will bring all together with different energy which will keep us moving.

Confidence and urge to achieve something in life comes with our efforts and a little practice on it. With each passing day of lockdown, there is a fear of losing on things in life, fear of un-stability, fear of unemployment, fear of competition, fear of time, fear of losing on money, fear of life, fear of losing self-control, fear of losing relationships. There is no reason we need to worry about what if and what will happen? Just Balance – whatever the situation is or will be – keep balancing.

It is the time where we can prove our mettle. Do what is best for our family and us in the current situation without bothering much about the future. Just creating stress environment around ourself and our family will bring anxiety and low immunity which will create worse situations. Act on what is in control.

INVOLVE PEOPLE, TRUST THE PROCESS

It is always good to enjoy our own company and follow our own choices but still if we are confused? Over time I realized that it is good to involve our family and discuss our concerns with our partner and our kids. We will be amazed to see different perceptions, opinions and even some objections which will be eye-openers. Here we get a completely different perspective, and we can work on the areas which now we have known.

SHARE YOUR HEART

Sometimes people like to keep things to them, and then they keep pitying themselves and also want others to understand that they are only one burdened.  However, it is always good that our entire family understands our obligations and responsibilities towards work. It will develop a sense of responsibility and understanding of each other.

ESTABLISH LIMITS & BOUNDARIES BETWEEN WORK AND FAMILY

The people who are currently working from home, it is also good to keep fair margins between our work life and family life where we are not to bring work in our family time and family in our work time, which will keep us on toes and happy. Also, along with this, we can pull out some moments of "me time" where its good to give clarity at both work and family. This "me time" will provide you with more focus and help things manage correctly in life.

NO PERFECT FORMULA

The dilemma of balancing family and work has no easy solution. There is no one size- fits all approach. Every person and family must find some specific solutions to their issues depending on there preferences and needs. However, a balance between work and family occurs when a person can sufficiently meet family responsibilities and adequately perform the obligation at work.

There is nothing wrong with working hard to gain some of the more beautiful things in life, but one should also not forget the worth of things and people that matter the most.

So live the life to the fullest and enjoy all the small joys of life. These bundle of joys will be our treasures and keep us positive and live. Start enjoying what we own and possess. There is no perfect life, this is the one, and we have to keep balancing with a smile.
