Part II - What would you do if you had nothing to do??

November 1st, 2007

Though I haven’t got any of your responses, but still I will not budge from my word. Will continue part II, of my previous post. I hope I need not repeat what I said earlier.

It’s an exercise meant to get you thinking about designing your life.

All our lives, we have been doing what comes our way or whatever we see our elders do. Even though we assume our lives to be completely in our control, but it isn’t so.
Actually the main problem with us (yes including me) is we do not exactly know what we want out of our lives. It isn’t that easy. Actually we are used to live simple and non complicated life. To think something out of box is a bizarre and also considered as taboo.

So we can just try to make some conscious effort to design our lives and lifestyles, isn’t it?

If you already are leading a very happy life and will do the same for life time, this might not be useful for you, but still you can give a shot to it to cross verify.

One of the simplest ways to do this is answering the questions, or might be the rejection is the best way for making a selection. (For making a question rejection type just replace $ with NOT.)

1. What’s $ important?
Asking yourself what is most important to you. What do you love doing? Who do you love spending time with? Make a short list of 4-5 things. Always remember, the best way to get things done is, clearly picturing what you want to achieve.

2. What’s $ your passion?
What do you love doing the most? Can it be a way you make your living? If you can make a career out of doing something you love, you will love your day. Dare to imagine that this could come true.

3. What’s $ your schedule?
Start with a blank page, and design your perfect day. Incorporate the short list of 4-5 most important things at the top, to ensure that you are spending your day doing what’s most important to you. Also include time spent working at your passion (from Question 2). Include an ideal routine, from morning till you go to bed.

4. What’s $ the way?
The path to reach your destiny, which you have decided can only be designed by you. It will serve as a blueprint to reach for building of your life. What changes would you need to make in your life to make that perfect day a reality? Be willing to consider drastic changes if necessary. Whatever time it takes, but you will surely reach destiny.

5. What changes you have $ made?
If we want future life to flourish, we have to make investment in present. Some things which are in your control can be bettered anytime, like the time to get off and on the bed, taking out time for your hobby and time for your family.

6. What is $ the end?
Keep a picture of your perfect day in the mind. This will lead like a benchmark. At the end of day compare and compel to strive ahead.

I am sure if we do this, there will be no idle time in our lives but our lives will become idols for all here on the earth.

This is the best way to do nothing and yet do everything. (Implication:- when we love to do something, we cannot be bored by doing that thing. It comes as a casual activity.)

Keep rocking.
