SET HIGH TARGETS

We are told since we are kids, “Set goals, targets and then work hard to achieve them”. Whether it is academic or sports or business, everyone sets a target and then achieve them or nearly achieve them.

But why is setting target so important? can’t we succeed without setting target? The answer is yes, we can obviously get success but target setting just helps our mind to know what is the maximum we want to achieve and it operates the body accordingly. Okay, those lines maybe complicated.

Let us take an example: when you go to gym, you know a level of every exercise you can do easily. Let us take squats, lets suppose you can do 40 squats comfortably. But you will set you target to 50 squats and when you start, you will do 40 easily, 41 to 47 will be very hard and last 3 would just take as much effort as the previous 47 did. Obviously you will complete 50 squats but you will not be able to do a single more. After doing 50 you will feel totally exhausted and will not be able to do more.

Now, lets analyse the example.

when you can do 40 squats easily, why did you set your target to 50?
Even when you were not in position to do more than 47, how did you complete 50?
why you were not able to do the 51st?

I hope you will find the answers, do share them. Now, you know why is it important to set high targets.

like someone said, Always aim for the moon, if you miss it, don’t worry, you will fall among the stars.

and like Dan Pena said,” You will never achieve a cent more than your target”.

Which is Better?

All of you know there are two situations in our life, Happiness and sadness. Now, we feel good when happiness comes but feel bad when it goes. In the same way, we feel bad when sadness comes but feel good when it goes. So, we can say that we feel good and bad in both the situations, although in a different way. So now my question is- Which one is Better? Happiness or Sadness?

Let me clear this- No one is better.

All these are just situations of life. No situation is better and no situation is worse. We just make them better and worse as per our understanding. We should just live and we should respect every situation because every situation teaches us some lesson.

Now, some of you will ask that we enjoy being in state of happiness but not in the state of sadness. So, according to this logic, happiness is better than sadness. The answer is to analyse why are you able to enjoy the state of happiness? How do you know that you are in the state of happiness? Because you have experienced sadness and you know how miserable it is to be in that state. So, the state of sadness acts as a catalyst to help you fully enjoy your state of happiness. If there was no sadness, you would never know what happiness is. We know about one only because we know about the other. Both of these are complimentary to each other.

I also discussed this thing in my previous post Comparison.

Will appreciate your views on the topic

Thanks

The key is to Start

Most people don’t do anything new because they don’t want to be seen at the bottom. Don’t be most people. You just can not jump directly on the top of the ladder from the ground. You have to start from the bottom and this is what most people fail to understand.

You know starting is the key to success. You can think for a whole year about doing something and achieving great success but none of that is going to happen until you START taking actions. Acting for an hour is better than just thinking and doing nothing for 10 hours.

Everyone wants to be great, everyone wants to be the best. But they don’t understand that no one is great or best right from the start. It takes continuous action, hard work, sweat and commitment to give your best every single day. You have to start in order to become great and you have to start every single day to become better than the previous day. This is the only key, if you don’t start, no matter how great your idea is, how solid your planning is, you are never going to get great.

So, START and START RIGHT NOW

Get up….Go on

There are many times in our life when we want to do something, something which we have not done before, something which will force us to push our limits, something which we know is going to take a lot of effort and sacrifice. But, still we gather up the courage and start the task. We start achieving progress and we are very happy with this. We have a hope that we can make it.

But then suddenly, your progress stops, no matter how much you try, you just remain on the same level. You try hard and hard every single day but all in vain, no progress. That’s when you say to yourself, may be i can’t do this. That is the time where we are only one step away from quitting and many quits too. But, whenever we are faced with a situation like this, instead of quitting, we should say:-

You need to believe in yourself. You need to believe that your best is yet to come. You need to believe that your time is coming. You need to say yourself everyday that this is not it, there is still a lot to go. When your progress stops, you shall say to yourself that no matter how bad my time becomes, i will never quit. I am stronger than any situation, better than me previous version, and tomorrow i will be a better version that today. Because remember, you can never become best when you are competing with yourself, you can only become a better version of yourself. The day you think that you are the best version of yourself is the day your progress stops.

So, work hard and become the better version of yourself every single day.

THOUGHT

One day, i thought a thought.

But the thought i thought was not a thought. It made me thought why the hell was i thinking a thought. Then i thought that i was not able to think even a simple thought. I thought i thought.

But still i was not able to think a thought. i thought that i need someone’s help to think a thought. Then i thought, who could help me think a thought. Then my blog family came to my thought and i thought you guys can help me think a thought. I request you all to comment a thought so that i can also think a thought.

P.S.: I am still thinking a thought
