By three methods we may learn wisdom:First, by reflection, which is noblest;Second, by imitation, which is easiest;and third by experience, which is the bitterest

What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it

To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order;to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order;to put the family in order; we must first cultivate our personal life;we must first set our hearts right

If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall

An orchid in a deep forest sends out its fragrance even if no one is around to appreciate it.

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated

When you see a good person, think of becoming like her/him.When you see someone not so good, reflect on your own weak points

If you are courteous, you will not be disrespected;If you are generous, you will gain everything.If you are honest, people will rely on you.If you are persistent you will get results.If you are kind, you can employ people

He who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior

The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life

If you make a mistake and do not correct it, this is called a mistake

A great man is hard on himself; a small man is hard on others

Science of helping your brain/mind flow

When it comes to setting out on your own growth journey, it’s best to turn to the experts. There are new personal growth books being released daily and you can get them for a discounted price (and with less environmental impact!) on your Kindle or other e-reader.

Read personal growth books

Starting your day off on the right note can make a major impact. While a lot of people roll over first thing in the morning and grab their phones, willingly inundating themselves with the news and opinions of the day, you can get a leg up on your life by being intentional with your time.‍

Make the most of your mornings

There’s nothing that will make you feel inspired and motivated again quite like getting up from behind your laptop and pursuing fitness.

Move your body

Your mind, just like your body, can get complacent. If you continue to “exercise” it in the same ways, absorbing the same information over and over again, completing the same intellectual tasks over and over again, you will cease to grow. And, if you’re not growing you’re not living.

Take a new skills-based class

Growth isn’t easy to do on your own. We need people to express their support, offer ideas and guidance, and encourage us to keep moving forward, even when it feels like we won’t succeed.

Seek out a new community

Mentally getting outside of your comfort zone is one thing - but have you thought about getting physically out of your comfort zone? Booking a trip to a far-off destination could be just the thing you need to see yourself in a different light, and determine how you can improve in order to live the life you want to live.

Take a trip

There is no better feeling than being able to help someone else and, often, you end up helping yourself just as much.

Give back

Feel like your life isn't progressing in the way that you always thought it would? Check out these 7 inspirational personal growth ideas to help you get to where you want to go.

7 Inspirational Ideas to Help You Live Your Dream Life

It might sound counterintuitive. When you want to move ahead in life, hit them goals. Buy that dream house, car or that new phone. Everyone is in such a rush to reach to a place where we feel accomplished, loved, cared, satisfied. Only to realise it is start of another peak.Let the realisation creep in, we are not telling ourselves to stop. It is a sign to slow down. Put car on the side line, press the parking light, check the left and the rights, check the google map, ask a passing stranger.“Are we headed in the right direction?”

Slow down To go faster

If you are go to reply to everything that needs to be done. Be it exercise, family or friends time, community time or even sleep is “ I am busy”. My friend we are suffering from the same thing, disease called “I am busy”It makes us feel engaged, no time to think, wonder, question because we have better things to do. That is being busy. Give yourself the freedom to have some quality rest. Take the walk in the park. Read that book with a cup of coffee and morning sun. Unless you are Putin and working to end the war, you can take the break .

A pandemic called: “I am busy”

Research shows we have recessing attention span. Don’t even need to quote it. Check your temptation to do something else while reading this small post. Did you switched tabs? Did you check the phone which have no notifications? Did you opened mail box to see any new mails or on Whatsapp.When you stand in a line and open your phone just to be engaged for that small pause. Did some life changing opportunity just walked past because you missed to check your phone? Ever ?Those millions notifications are better left unheard. Learn to sit idle. Learn to be idle.

Hello Attention span, bye

Sometimes you need to take a step back to make the jump

Secret of dealing with people 

“What starts as an excuse can easily become a habit.Don't let a bad day become a lifestyle.”

“Life is a series of seasons, and what works in one season may not work in the next.What season are you in right now? What habits does that season require?”

“Awareness is often enough to motivate change.Simply tracking your food intake will motivate you to alter it. Merely writing down your problems may spark ideas for possible solutions.The process starts with seeing reality clearly.”

“I always forget how important the empty days are, how important it may be sometimes not to expect to produce anything, even a few lines in a journal. A day when one has not pushed oneself to the limit seems a damaged, damaging day, a sinful day. Not so! The most valuable thing one can do for the psyche, occasionally, is to let it rest, wander, live in the changing light of a room.”

“The secret to feeling great about yourself is not to be found in searching for people who are less than you and then show yourself superior to them, but in searching for people who are more than you and then show yourself worthy of their company.”

3-2-1: Life's seasons, the importance of rest, and the secret to feeling great about yourself

Back in 2015, Tal Ben-Shahar was on a transatlantic flight when a question came to mind: How is it that there is a field of study for psychology, philosophy, history, medicine, geography, you name itand there is no field of study for happiness? Yeah, there is positive psychology but that's just the psychology of happiness. What about what philosophers like Lao Tzu or Aristotle had to say about it? What about what literature remarked on happiness? Or neuroscience or theology or economics? Why isn't there an interdisciplinary field of study that looks at life's ultimate highest goal?

A Degree In Happiness

There are two main critiques that people have for the field of happiness studies. The first one is that it's superficial. The reason is that they equate happiness with pleasure. So when people say, "Oh, I went to the beach. I was so happy," or, "This ice cream just makes me happy," well, that's not happiness. That is pleasure. Happiness is much more than pleasure. It also includes our ability to deal with painful experiences, finding a sense of meaning and purpose, cultivating healthy relationships, and intellectual development.

Happiness And Pleasure Aren’t Mutually Inclusive

The second critique of the field of happiness stems from the false understanding that a happy life is a life devoid of painful emotions. It's not. It can never be. Part of a happy life is the vicissitudes of daily life.

Happiness And Suffering Aren’t Mutually Exclusive

Overall, happiness includes life's ups and downs. The signs of happiness can strengthen our psychological immune system. Because the role of the science of happiness is first of all, to introduce us to concepts like post-traumatic growth, which is growing stronger as a result of hardship. And second, to teach us what conditions we can put in place in our homes, in our organizations, in our schools, in our countries to increase the likelihood of growing from hardship. Hardship is inevitable. What we do with our hardship, well, here we have a choice.

Happiness And The Vicissitudes Of Life: An Improbable Friendship

Happiness is largely cognitive; it’s a state of mind, not an emotion.

Happiness is a noun, so we think it’s something we can own. But happiness is a place to visit, not a place to live. It’s like the child’s idea that if you drive far and fast enough you can get to the horizon—no, the horizon’s not a place you get to.

Why studying happiness is good for our “psychological immune system,” explained by Harvard “happiness professor” Tal Ben-Shahar.

A few days after she became the first female skater to land a quadruple jump at the Beijing Olympics, 15-year-old Kamila Valieva fell in her final program, costing her the individual Olympic gold. She wept as she stepped off the ice. Instead of comforting her, her coach berated her.The skater who won didn’t seem much happier. The gold medalist, Anna Shcherbakova, said that this was what she had been working toward every day but also that she felt “emptiness inside.”

I Feel… Nothing

This kind of pressure might seem inconceivable to us; after all, we probably aren’t Olympic athletes. But have you ever anchored your happiness in some way to a far-off goal that you could attain only at significant personal cost, that you thought would deliver to you the satisfaction you seek or the success you crave? Maybe it’s finishing a degree, publishing a book, or making a certain amount of money. Nothing is wrong with these goals per se, but if you place your happiness in their attainment, you are setting yourself up for your own version of these bitter Olympic moments.

Achieving a goal and achieving happiness are two entirely different things. There are 3 questions that can maybe test our goals for their happiness potential. So, do you like pie?
