Our achievement and goals were not built in a days handwork, it took months and years to achieve them. And no doubt handwork was the main reason behind success. But there was something more to it.

It was our attitude or perspective of life that helped us to achieve more in life and get unexpected opportuniites. It was not just luck that you happened to be at right place at the right time. It took was summation of lot of moment when you knew that you are not going to achieve but giving it a little more try, failing to give up even if the loss was imminent, and learning from losing and coming back stronger.

It was difficult, hell awfully difficult. Those last moments when knowing this is what needs to be done to achieve but giving up was a tempting option.

But we have all gone past those moments by pulling ourself together and keeping the focus on the goal.

What paid you off was your attitude and your perspective of life, and the saddest part is it was never taught to us nor valued. We were told winning is very good, with no way how to achieve it. Perspective and attitude is not something which you sit and just develop it all at once, you plant seeds little by little amount daily, give it proper water and soon you could enjoy the fruit.

Keeping this in mind, I am also going to blog about small tips and hacks for life which will change your perspective and attitude in much subtler way leading to a if not best a better life.

Stop following 'SUCCESS', quiet a counter advise to hear at first at todays time where the world wide web is flowing with articles based on how to be more successful, how to achieve success in least amount of time and the titles go on and on.

So lets get into the shallow waters first then we will be going into the deep ones.

Nowadays life has taken a different turn, work in mounting up, deadlines are being shortened, working hour have known to have no limits leading to increase of stress, pressure and variety of diseases like blood pressure, diabetics, and so on.
    Our world has become small, were every one focuses on his goals to accomplish, his success to achieve and his mind is always preoccupied with thoughts of how to achieve it. The word free time is rarely heard now. We live in a world were don't know who our neighbours are, forgetting birthdays of special ones has become a norm and 'screen in front of eyes wherever we go' has become our tagline.
But from inside we know this is not the right thing, there should be something more.
   

How about a life is which where you are pursuing what you want not for the success and glamour of it, but simply because you like it. A world where the result even though important, is not something which is pursued, but is simply a landmark.
     A world were the student studies because he wants to learn and enjoyed reading and not because the result should be good. A world were man works in his office to add value to the community along with his his personal goals. A world were money is important but its right place is known.

This thinking has changed my life, it took me sometime to accept and get used to this philosophy as it was something I didn't want to hear, but the results are huge. I no longer feel the tug that I am lagging behind, no stress about not achieving, or about what people might say, no hurry and feeling of not having time instead I tend to understand people more, my satisfaction level with my work has tremendously increased, and a certain level of peace has been achieved, and surprisingly I am able to accomplish more at the end of the day with better quality.

It doesn't take a revolution or a huge reform to achieve peace of mind and satisfaction in work, it simply requires shift of attitude by 33.4 degree (humour is also important :) )

And for me it simply started with an open statement:

                                                STOP FOLLOWING SUCCESS
