The Power of Reflecting back: How it can Improve Your Thought Process

Yes , my reflections on my own life ... 

The adage "age is just a number" is frequently used to characterise people who have achieved much in life despite their elderly years. 🎉 I take comfort in this proverb as I approach my midlife crisis; it serves as a constant reminder that I am not limited by my chronological age. ⏳

I've spent a lot of time thinking and reflecting on how to improve my actions and routines over the course of my life. 💭 While I have had some success in this area, I estimate that 80-90% of my deliberate endeavours have failed. 😔 I've been unable to find happiness in life due to several undesirable behaviours and characteristics of my own.

After giving it some thought, I've come up with a few causes for my difficulties. My inability to get things done quickly, for example, is due in large part to my lack of self-discipline and procrastination. 🤦‍♀️ The fact that I'm too chicken to explore traditional things has also stunted my development. 🐔

The Power of Reflecting back: How it can Improve Your Thought Process

I refuse to let these obstacles stop me from my pursuit of a better version of myself, since I believe that age is nothing more than a number. 💪

Yes , Despite these setbacks, I remain determined to continue striving for self-improvement and growth, embracing the idea that age truly is just a number. 🌟

Here are a few observations from my life from which you can learn on how to become productive in your wisdom. 📚

Dividing your attention can impede your ability to build momentum. This is a reality I have encountered in my personal life and observed in others around me. Many people often conclude that they are incapable of achieving a particular task or skill because it seems challenging. 😔 This is akin to assuming that you are bad at weightlifting because the weights are heavy. 💪 More often than not, persistence and perseverance are all it takes to surmount difficult obstacles.

The struggle to maintain positive habits can be attributed to several factors, such as being too busy, tired, or overwhelmed. However, the most significant impediment to sticking with good habits is our self-image. We often become too attached to a specific version of our identity, which limits our growth potential. The key to personal growth is the willingness to unlearn old beliefs and to upgrade and expand our identities continuously. 🌱

In my experience, writing is an effective tool to gain clarity and improve comprehension. Taking the time to write down complex ideas can help to organise thoughts and facilitate understanding. Unfortunately, many people fail to utilise writing as a means of improving their cognitive abilities. 🤔

To enhance your creativity, it is vital to give yourself more options. If you need ten ideas, come up with thirty, and then select the best ones. This approach provides a distinct advantage in intelligence, as it allows for greater flexibility in problem-solving. According to me, "A person who tinkers and experiments is always more intelligent than typical academicians and scientists." 🔬

I hope it helps

It's important to recognize these behaviors and work on cultivating discipline and overcoming procrastination to achieve our goals.

It's easy to feel overwhelmed when faced with a challenging task or skill, but persistence and perseverance can make a significant difference. I completely agree that our self-image can often limit our growth potential. Embracing personal growth requires us to let go of old beliefs and expand our identities. I also appreciate your emphasis on the power of writing. Writing can be a powerful tool for gaining clarity, organizing thoughts, and improving comprehension.

Navigating the Rising Tide: Understanding Inflation and the Cost of Living in India's Urban Hubs

 In the bustling markets of India, the price of a simple loaf of white bread, once a mere 15-20 Rs, has doubled to 30-50 Rs in just a few years. This seemingly trivial change is a stark reminder of the escalating cost of living in India's urban centers.  If you find yourself grappling with rising expenses, here are some crucial insights to help you understand and navigate this economic landscape. 1. The Urban Price Surge: Major cities in India are becoming increasingly expensive. With limited land and an influx of capital into the country, land prices are soaring. For instance, construction costs in Goa have risen by approximately 25-30% recently. This increase directly impacts the prices of virtually everything. In the realm of traditional economics, the means of production are defined as Land, Labour, and Capital. When the cost of land escalates, it triggers a domino effect, causing a rise in rent, business costs, and more. While the prices of flats in big cities may not sky...

Why my parent stay away from stock markets

The previous generation, our parents, often shied away from investing in the stock markets. Their apprehension was not unfounded, given the financial scandals and economic crises that have rocked the investment world over the years. Here's a closer look at some of these events and their implications: 1. The 1992 Harshad Mehta Scandal: In 1992, (I was in class 12)  the Indian stock market was hit by a colossal scam orchestrated by Harshad Mehta, amounting to 4000 Crore. This scandal caused the stock market to plummet by more than 50%, shaking investor confidence to its core. Example: Imagine an investor who had put their life savings into the stock market before the crash. The value of their investment would have halved almost overnight, causing significant financial distress. In response to this scandal, the Indian government passed the Securities Laws (Amendments) Act in 1995, granting the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) the authority to regulate depositories, Foreig...
