The Next Thirty Days...Day 4 (Missing or Things that we miss)

To be frank and honest I did miss the fourth day yesterday. It was a little late but not too late to write. But that should not be an excuse. If you have to write you have too. And that's what I am going to do today. Write for yesterday as well as today.

Since on the fourth day I missed my target to write for the day I picked up "Missing" for the day. And suddenly my mind was filled with a laundry list of things that we miss in life.

Here we go....

We miss

Targets,

Friends,

Places,

Things,

Family,

Moments,

Time,

Joy,

Jokes,

Fun,

Togetherness,

Solitude,

playing pranks,

enjoying the rain,

enjoying a movie,

laughing your heart out...

I could go on and on.....

Vow. Great. What? What's so great about missing? Isn't suppose to make you feel bad? No. At least henceforth not. For all of a sudden I realized there are life's so many things that are really worth missing and there are a few things that you should never really miss...especially things that you have committed to yourself, pursuing your dreams. All others are like "You can't have your cake and keep it too." So when you have had you cake...it's better to savour test and let it linger in your mind forever rather than feeling sad for learn to enjoy the joy of missing what you have already enjoyed.

Day 9 - The Power of Understanding

The words “I understand” hold immense power. In the TV show Two and a Half Men , Charlie Harper often uses this phrase, sometimes with humorous intent. But beyond the humor, these two simple words—"I understand"—carry a depth and magic that is often overlooked. Understanding is the first step toward empathy. It reflects a willingness to connect with another person's experience, their emotions, and their perspective. Yet, to truly understand, we must pause and reflect on what we mean when we say it. Do we really understand what the other person is going through? Are we merely acknowledging their words, or are we trying to feel what they feel? True understanding isn’t about sympathy or offering solutions. It’s about resonance. Do we truly feel the depth of someone’s anxiety or pain, or are we simply familiar with the emotion? Does understanding require us to have lived through similar circumstances, or is it possible to grasp the weight of another’s experience even...

What's Next

Life can get pretty tough if you have not decided on what's next. Because each time you achieve or do something on the go, you have to keep thinking about what's next. Spontaneity is good to an extent. It can get you to a particular point, but then after you have to be sure about which way are you going to go or what you are going to do next. There will come a time when you will have to sit down, reflect, and ask some tough questions to yourself. Do some soul searching in your quest to find out what is next. Because you can't be aimlessly be shooting out in the dark and hoping to hit the target. Knowing where, what, why, and how you are going to aim for the target drastically improves and enhances your chances of hitting the target. So the next time you think about what's next, think of it as a series of goals and objectives to help you achieve the big picture. Preparation combined with a dash of spontaneity takes what's next to the next level.

Day 19 - The Power of Multidisciplinary Approach

In an era of specialization, many of the world's most successful people advocate for a broader, more holistic view—one that embraces a multidisciplinary approach to life. This approach involves combining knowledge and skills from various fields, leading to better problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability. Think of a Renaissance person like Leonardo da Vinci, whose expertise spanned art, science, and engineering, shaping innovation for centuries. Today, the importance of a multidisciplinary mindset has become even more crucial in navigating the complexities of modern life. The Impact of a Multidisciplinary Approach David Epstein’s book, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, provides compelling arguments for why those who explore a wide variety of interests often outperform their more specialized peers in the long run. Epstein highlights examples from sports, business, and science, showing that people who dip their toes into different fields are often...
