Your 3 G's!

So, there are mainly two kind of people. One, who console and convince. The second, who sob and serve. You don’t want to be the third and the worst, the ones who sob and convince (the blackmailers who lack, well…a soul) But we are certainly not talking about them today.

The New Year is not new anymore! Did we take extended and carried forward resolutions all over again? Or are we thinking about changing ourselves all together! Just ponder over changing the basic you, well...somethings really go unexplained like unfavorable situations which force you to change certain habits of yours. But the elementary you always remains the same.

My today’s post is about the choices we make. The choices which do not make everyone contented. The choices which unquestionably make us guilty all the time and the choices which make us stand between a very thin line of responsibilities or errands and contentment. Not able to get me? Get up and call up a lady, who just became a mother a few months back and ask her about latest movies, favorite cuisines or how does wine taste? She sure will whiplash you with a burning rod! If not, she can be bowed upon or worshiped! 

Life is all about our permutations and combinations of choices we make, others are prejudiced by circumstances, opportunities, growth, in the well-being of others etc

So between getting excellent marks in every test, unit test, primary exam, secondary exam, final exams, pre-boards, boards, CAT, MAT, PMT, MBBS, CA and other humongous degrees, to getting a good college, passing all semesters with flying colors, studying for post-graduation, getting 8 pointers and above in all semesters, in all subjects, to applying for jobs, getting a campus placement, a good package, a good job in a good company, a good work environment, to getting a compatible life partner, adjusting and compromising in the family, having a kid, having another kid, getting them a good nursery, a good play school, a good school, a good college, a good life partner……LIFE  will just pass by. Not to forget a masters in other basic skills like cooking, washing clothes and utensils, cleaning everything and etiquette which teach you how to speak and eat and sit like a girl (if you’re a girl) and cricket, getting extra marks to get a “good” college to “earn”, learning how to drive and casual drinking (if you’re a boy).

We have to change, seriously we have to change! How do we change?

The whole concept of “Good”, “Guilt”, and “Greatness” has to go away! Lets see how -

Good – Who defines good? Define it yourself and make sure that your good is as good to make the world jealous of you. Set your own standards of good to be the best.

Guilt – Guilt does wonders to criminals, to the rest of us, live for yourself!

Greatness – Never publish a good deed. If you take a one fourth of your income and give it to the poor, do not – take photos and Instagram or update Facebook posts and change your profile as a social worker on Linkedin. Enjoy charity and a good deed "yourself" by being selfless about it.

Now the Spanish were definitely after God, Glory or Gold (the other 3 G's) when they wanted to come to America BUT as an individual, If your 3 G’s are in place you can sincerely traverse towards the final G which is Growth. Remember one thing – if you are happy and if your self-esteem is high there is no one on earth you need to be your emotional dustbin as you will become so balanced that growth will come very naturally to you as days, months and years pass by.

Way to Go! Happy New Year!
