How To Grow Through Life

‘Do not just go by outward signs; try to reach the meaning behing them.’- Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Why are you judging yourself? Why are you judging your boss, your manager? Why are you judging your friends?

Do not judge people. Because people are going through things. Instead of judging them, why not try to understand where they are coming from?

If done well, it is better than judging them.

Because judging other people is not going to make things better. It is not going to bring people closer to you.

If something is not clear to you, don’t judge. Go to work. Try to understand what is going on. Try to know what the other person is going through. Because you do not know what is going on in their lives.

And people are going through things. Just because they are not talking to you, or talking to others, that doesn’t mean they are not going through things.

If you want to know what is going on in other people’s lives, you have got to know them. To know them, you have got to love them. To love them, you have got to accept them. And to accept them, you have got to see them as human beings.

And to see other people as human beings, you must first see yourself as a human being.

If not, if you do not have the courage to see yourself as you truly are, you will not grow through life. You will go through life.

The question is, ‘Are you growing through life, or are you going through life?’

Why You Should Get Started Now

Getting started is better than waiting for the perfect time to start.

In fact, the best time to start anything is now. Where you are now does not really matter. What you know does not matter. Other things don’t matter. What matters is that you get started.

According to Tiffany Pham, ‘It doesn’t matter how you start, where you start, or why you start. All that matters is that you start. When you dare to try something new, it can be the foot in the door that leads to everything you’ve ever wanted.’

Just get to work. Do not wait for the perfect time to start living your life. Do not waste your time on what you do not enjoy doing. ‘Look for work you believe in.’ Because when you do get started, when you commit to what you want to achieve in your life, ‘success eventually surrenders to you.’

That is why you should not wait for the perfect time to start doing your work. Yes, your work. If you want to be different, to achieve greatness, you must do your work. You must ‘keep the fires of passion burning….’ If not, you are not going to get anything done.
