"We only regret the chances we don't take" We always want something or someone but we don't always get what we want. Not getting something is one thing but not giving your 100% is another. In my vision board, I don't ever want to live in denial. When someone asks me if I gave my 100% at anything, I want to, very proudly, say yes. 5 years later, I don't want to ever think that I *didn't* fight enough or I wish I should've sent that one text or I should've called him up but I *didn't*. No no no! Even if things don't work out and you think its worth it, keep trying. You have to fight for yourself, you have to fight for the people you love, you have to fight for the position that you think you deserve. People will keep pushing you away, they'll keep trying to bring you down but don't let any of that bother you. You're better than this, you're going to be successful, you just need to work hard. A few days back, I read about the 5 rule. What is it, you ask? Think of something, will It matter in the next 5 years? No? Then don't spend more than 5 minutes getting upset over it. This is quite my funda for a happy and a successful soul. A few more tips that will help you stay motivated and give your 100% - Meditate- I know this sounds boring but meditating actually helps. Meditate for 5 minutes and it'll help you stay focused and release the stress. Timetable- When I say timetable, don't work it up. Take some time out for yourself. Give resting and relaxing a slot in your timetable and make sure you follow it. Set a target- Target setting is very important. If you don't know what you want to achieve, you can't get where you dream of being. Work smart- In today's world of growth and competition, you need to learn how to work smart and not work hard but this doesn't mean you don't work hard, haha. I hope this helps. I'm sorry for not posting more often. Gunnu, the first dog I've ever loved passed away last week and I was coping with it but I'll be back with a lot more soon. Stay tuned for more!
