Stress that takes us to the next level...

stress  

/stres/
Noun
Pressure or tension exerted on a material object: "the distribution of stress is uniform across the bar".

The dictionary defines stress as the pressure inserted on an object. Here the "human being" is the object under consideration, so we can re-define stress as the "tension exerted on the human mind"

Is stress bad? No, absolutely not. Stress is what compelled human being to set goals, chase dreams and achieve success. Stress is what helped the evolution of the present day man, had there been no stress, there would be no invention.

How is stress caused? Its the mindset that we would fail on something, its the mindset that we wont achieve a target on a particular mind, its the mindset that we would run out of business in 90 days.

If we let the footballers play the entire day they would score less number of goals they would have if we restricted them for 90 minutes. Reason? Its because every player is stressed to score within 90 minutes or else they perish.

So, it all starts with a dream. Dream is a statement that we will achieve something. When we fix boundary dates for the dream, it becomes a goal. Now stress is something that pushes us to work to achieve the goal. The more the stress, the better we get finding easier methods to achieve the goal. The more the stress, better we become at innovation.


If you are a highly stressed person, its a good sign. Its an indication that you are pressed hard to find a solution in a short time. There are only 2 outcomes to this situation. Option A - you perish and Option B - you come out successful. We dont want you to perish, we want you to solve the problem, to come out as a better person.

Now this requires more study, we need to sit with ourselves to find what desire burns us, what puts us into trouble. The toughest part is to analyse the root cause of the problem, once you have done that - solution becomes much easier.

If i tell stress pushes up the rung of the ladder, its not wrong. If you have solved a problem, you gain more confidence, your appetite grows for a bigger problem and you grow. So what pushes you is what worries you, solve it and get ahead.

Guaranteed recipes to fail...

There are certain things in this world to which we cannot attach a guarantee card, say happiness, love, friendship, affection, hatred, anger and frustration. All these may be counted as emotions or state of the mind, which may even be temporary .i.e. it can be changed by external forces and incidents. And there are others which come with a guarantee; say the TV that comes with a 5 year guarantee or the refrigerator or the air conditioner or the mobile phone or anything that we get to buy in the market.         Almost all manufactured products are offered a guarantee, be it 5 years or 5000 hours or 2 lakh kilometers. All man-made things can be given a surety, while almost all god given gifts cannot. This is the reason as to why we cannot guarantee we’ll be happy even when we earn $1,000,000,000. Who knows, we might be happier as a poor man.         I have heard people state that successes and failures are states of mind and that we have the abil...

Perseverance…when you have nothing more to loose, just continue….

Perseverance is one of the top rated qualities of a winner. Winning is always a struggle, the toughest part of it being to persist when things are not happening as per your wish. The higher your struggle, the higher is your sense of victory. If we closely analyze the lives of successful people, we find that at some point of time, every one of them have gone through real tough times. Most people begin well, perform satisfactorily but quit when they are stuck. What they don't realize is that they may be stopping just three feet from gold. Winners never quit and quitters never win, very true isn't it? Average folks think "I have lost everything, I don't want to loose any more; so I am quitting" but winners think "I have lost everything, now I have nothing more to loose; so why not continue". Success becomes worthwhile when measured by the obstacles you have overcome to achieve it. So next time you face an obstacle, rest assure that something big is on its ...

The fire in us is dying...

Ever felt the fire in us is not staying as long as it is expected? Ever felt we quit digging 3 feet from gold? Ever felt the grass is green on the other side of valley? My life is full with these questions. My mind is like a pendulum that swings from one desire to another, and by making sure, I just don’t stand to achieve them. This is just the feeling that can happen to any one of you? We are all creatures that live in the past and live on memories.. We just feel our past was better than present, and we worry our future will not be as bright as our past. You seen the new add of Maruti Ritz car? just the same is true with our lives, we got choices - but we end up selecting a compromise. The patterns of thoughts that go through us are also the same, just as i was thinking - to stay in job or to build the business? to buy some land or get a new car ? To travel abroad or stay with family? go out selling or watch TV ? The truth is, even if we know what’s best for us, we refrain from ...
