# 1st tip for successful life -Start your Day with a positive thought
Boom! Start your day with a wonderful positive thought. It is like the initial boom thrust to a rocket, which will reach higher heights. This is the first and foremost tip out of 7 Tips for a Successful Life. Actually like a rocket trajectory, the movement of our complete day depends on that initial boom in the morning. Actually, the start will have the most prominent effect on the complete journey always. Throughout the day we will have many instances, which may be a positive or negative impact on us. Actually whatever happening around us cannot be controlled by us. However, we are having the power to control and react to it. By our positive thoughts, we can’t change the past, but definitely, we can change the future. And a sad instance will be a wonderful experience. And a joyful instance will become a memorable one. So, everything depends on our mood or the condition of our brain.
A positive thought sprouts in a healthy mind. To stay mentally fit, we can have at least dedicated 30 minutes of exercise or yoga. And this 30 minutes can be more fruitful if it is done in some place which is away from gadgets and in proximity to nature. After these 30 minutes, we can have a good reading of any motivational book. Physical touch of a book is having a much more positive effect than that of a digital media one. In the whole day, these 30 minutes is called “Platinum 30”. Because, if we keep the complete positive thought in 3 minutes, then the whole day will be spent in doing good things.
# 2nd tip for successful life-Do self less Service
The second important tip of 7 Tips for a Successful Lifefor success is doing selfless service. A very good way to keep ourselves happy is by creating an environment of happiness by making others happy. When we were kids, then our parents used to tell us that if you do this thing, you will get something in return. Generally, the things that we get in return will be materialistic. Now the time has come to change this. Do at least one thing good for the whole day and help others if possible. You will not get anything materialistic, even you will get something which will be unperishable and great, that is happiness. This happiness creates positive energy inside and around you. That positive energy by the happiness of giving is Selfless Service.
# 3rd tip for successful life-Use your Time Properly
The third one tip of 7 Tips for a Successful Life is time. We always say that I don’t have time. This habit is to be changed. And it should start from today itself. From today you should say and think I have a lot of time. I can do everything and from today onwards I will do everything. We don’t have time, because we have not managed it properly. Everyone in this world only has 24 hours. When some others can get success, then why don’t you get it in the same 24 hours? Do not let anyone waste your time. Nowadays, there are a lot of things to waste your precious time on like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc. We should invest our time, not wasting it. The person who values time, time will reward him in the best way.
Just for an example , when our exams will be near, we used to focus on studies. And we use each and every minute for preparation. However, just long before exams, we will be roaming and wasting our time. Rarely we used to put our time for studies. Actually, scarcity teaches us the importance of time. That’s why we should understand its value today only and invest it in proper way.
#4th tip for successful life-Keep yourself calm
It is easy to get angry, but it takes a lot of effort to control it. Anger is like a fire that burns yourself than any other else. Actually, our brain which controls our all activities, health, and everything is a clean place. It should not be made dirty with anger. This is one of the important of the 7 Tips for a Successful Life.
Anger is like that garbage which makes everything filthy. For explaining it, I want to mention here a small instance. An auto driver due to the money issues from his owner was very angry. Since the disappointment and frustration, he can’t show it to the owner. He got angry for small and very petty things at home. He started shouting at his kids, his wife for very small mistakes. The kids and wife were very sad.
Even he himself did not take the food in the morning due to his prevailing anger. He was going for his regular morning routine work with his bad mood and anger. Suddenly, he bruised a person on a bike who was riding on the correct side. The person nearly gets missed by an accident. He calmly told the auto driver that he should admit his mistake of not driving properly. But the auto driver starting scolding him due to his anger. The auto driver was not able to think that it was his fault.
By this instance the bike riding person also felt angry. But he don’t shown over the auto driver. He just went away. Just the bike person was going, suddenly a small kid came running in front of his bike. Now the bike person who was very compassionate has lost his temper and started shouting over the small kid. The kid’s father came there and says sorry to the bike person. Now the bike person also felt sorry for his doing. He immediately says sorry to that small kid and gave him a chocolate. All this thing, the auto driver was watching who has actually shouted and disturbed the biker earlier. The auto driver work was to take the kids to school.
The auto driver immediately understood his mistake and went to biker. On seeing him the biker was surprised to see him. Actually, the auto driver loves each and every kid, whom he takes to school on his auto. He says sorry to biker.
That’s why the beautiful place like brain should always be kept clean. The garbage of anger should be disposed off. It should not be thrown on anybody. Otherwise every mind and every person will become dirty. And the whole region will get dirty.
Actually controlling anger is itself a big challenge. Because it originates in the brain and has to be killed in brain itself. When our brain was getting high swings on anger ride, then the same brain has to kill that swing also.
This can only be done by first killing the energy of anger. The anger will be mostly person or place specific. If we get away from that place or person for some time, then the stimulus to anger will go off. Which is the fuel of anger. After you feel better, go, and have some water and roam around. Give yourself some time. Stop thinking about the instance which causes anger. Automatically, when your mind will get calm. It will be easy for you to understand the situation clearly. A disturbed mind will never show you the correct path.
# 5th tip for successful life-Do whatever you like to do
Do whatever you like to do. Give yourself a little time. This time should be for you only. You can do something for your hobby. Like dancing, singing, swimming, playing, roaming around, anything. Normally for our hobbies, we don’t have any dedicated time. Actually, we can allocate some 1 hour for our hobbies. Like each drop of water forms the ocean. Like that each 1 hour of creative work will make a creative and happy person. Which is the foundation of a successful person. Happiness is the most important one of the 7 Tips for a Successful Life
# 6th tip for successful life-Wake up early in morning
Time is one of the most important of the 7 Tips for a Successful Life. Wake up early in the morning! This sentence we will be listening since our childhood. However, whether waking up early is really important. Someone can say that I will wake up late and do the work late till night. IF we see quantitatively both the persons will be getting the same time to work. Then what is the big deal in waking up early in the morning? What difference does it make? IF we listen or read interviews of successful people, everyone had one thing in common. Waking up early in the morning. Then where we are wrong? Actually, the time what the early and late person are getting are same. But the quality of time is different.
For example, you have to board a train with 2-3 big luggage. But as you are a late going person. You arrived late at the railway station. Now you started running and keeping the luggage in the coach. People started shouting at you. However, due to your talent of convincing the people anyhow you reached at your berth. However you found that since it is a 3 tier AC coach, and all seats are full. And the space beneath the berths are also filled with fellow passengers luggage. Now here you are frustrated that what to do. How to keep the luggage? Now you start convincing your fellow passengers, nearby berth fellows also for your help. Again some how you they felt pity on you to help you. Now you are happy that you got your berth and luggage have been kept, but at two different places. However, you forgot to take the food parcel. And also the food catering inside train also got over. You are happy to get a seat which you have booked but you are not happy in the journey. You have to adjust a lot for a journey for what you have paid for.
Now you think what could be the situation and instances if you might have reached approximately 30-45 minutes before the scheduled time. The journey in both situations are really different. The same difference is when we wake up early in morning and when we will be late.
Also the morning freshness and calmness will bring a lot of positive energy and enthusiasm in you. So, be a early bird. This will make you even happier also.
# 7th tip for successful life-Never Procastrinate
This is the final tip of the 7 Tips for a Successful Life. This is the biggest difference between a successful person and an unsuccessful one. Successful people have to do what they have to do. At the same time, an unsuccessful person always gives an excuse to do the work later. And then never do it later, because already that time has passed. This habit in work enhances the negativity inside us. You should finish the work at the same time when it is given to you. When you will give value and importance to your time and work, both will reward you more than ten times.
Finally What is Success and a Successful person?
The word success seems to be changing its meaning in different situations and people. When a small kid enters a school. Her/his success is rated based on her/his performance in curricular and extracurricular activities. When the same kid will appear for the 10th board exam, then her/his performance in board exams, i.e topper or scoring more marks than neighbor’s kid will judge her/his success. After the 12th exam, getting into engineering or medical or some other professional courses judge her/his success. Like that in a job, the promotion defines success.
This type of success meaning keeps on shifting with different situations. It is relativistic. If you are better than somebody then you are a successful person. But whether this is the real meaning of success. If a success meaning keeps on changing and is dependent on somebody, whether it is correct?
Whether we can compare between an engineer, a doctor, or a lawyer? Whether we can tell who is better among them? Since all of them are from different fields. It is difficult or rather impossible to tell who is more successful. When simply we tell that a cook is a successful one or an engineer, then instantly it comes to our mind that an engineer is more successful than a cook. But if we compare between McDonalds and an engineer, who is going there to take food. Then immediately we know that McDonalds is more successful than an engineer or a doctor. The real success should be independent and absolute.
The real success is making ourselves better day by day. The betterment comes through habits and attitude towards our commitment for the work Before starting our journey we should not compare ourselves with any body else. Just we have to think as per my situation, what path I should take. And if we follow that path with full determination. Then that is success. Success is making ourselves better each day. It is not to follow the race of blind sheep and compete with each other to finally fall into the trench. This success is not a success at all.
If you want to do some work, first of all ask yourself two pivotal questions.
- Why I am doing this?
- What will be my benefit?
These questions can change your whole life. Because behind every work will have its result. That’s why we should decide whether that result is good or bad.
