“If you look solely to the past, you neglect a present that could provide with more happiness memories.”– Philip Zimbardo & John Boyd

If you want to be really happen in your life, embrace nature. Nature is calm. Nature is nature. Nature is simple, but effective. Pay attention to what will make you happy. Do not do what will make you unhappy. Choose your thoughts carefully.

So many of us want to be happy, but we do not know what to do. We don’t know where to find happiness.

Know this: You can be happy if you choose to. It is your choice. To be truly happy, here is what Brian Tracy writes: “To be truly happy, you need a clear sense of direction. You need a commitment to something bigger and more important than yourself. You need to feel that your life stands for something, that you are somehow making a valuable contribution to your world.”

“To be truly happy,

you need a clear

sense of direction.

You need a commitment

to something bigger

and more important

than yourself.”-

If you want to be happy, live in the present, not in the past. It is okay to acknowledge the past, but do not live there. What you are looking for is happening right now. Focus on it. You will get it.

In The Time Paradox: The New Psychology of Time That Will Change Your Life, Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd write, “When you ignore the present and look primarily to the past or the future for happiness, you can miss the happiness that is right in front of you. If you look solely to the past, you neglect a present that could provide you with more happy memories. If you look solely to the future, you may be unable to enjoy happy events when they arrive. By always looking through the present to the next goal, you likely do not fully appreciate the present. When lost in the past or engrossed in the future, you cannot be present, and happiness rushes by like a gourmet meal eaten in the car on the way to a dentist appointment. Thoughts of the past and the future can bring you happiness, but they do so by bringing happiness in the present state of mind.”

“When you ignore

the present and look primarily to the past

or the future for

happiness, you can miss

the happiness

that is right in front of you.”-

Why can’t we get anything done? We are so busy, but we are not getting anything done. Why?

Yes, why can’t we get things done?

If you are not getting anything done, what are you doing to yourself?

One of our goals in life is to be busy doing something meaningful, not to be busy doing nothing.

In today’s business life, we are either busy doing something or we are just busy doing nothing.

We all want to get things done. We want to be productive in life. We want to show to ourselves that we are capable of doing real things.

Why are we not getting anything done. Why are we so busy, confused?

Because the society rewards working hard, not working smart. People are working really hard, but getting nothing done. People are working hard, but they don’t care how much they get done. We have a lot to do at home and in the office, but no time to finish anything. There is no difference between work-life balance anymore.

Productivity is about quality, not quantity.

Productivity is not about how hard you work, it is about how much you get done.

No matter where you are, if you want to get things done, practice the following strategies:

  • Take your time to think, to rest, to connect with yourself, to be happy, to do things right, to correct your mistakes, to feel good about yourself.
  • Take time to meditate. Take a wake, if possible, around your home or office. Take small breaks in between your work.
  • Take your time to just sit back and relax for 10 minutes or less. Why? Because we are created to ALWAYS connect and renew ourselves.
  • No matter how busy you are, always approach things in positive ways.
  • Do not accept what you cannot finish.
  • Be happy.
  • Don’t take yourself too seriously. Just enjoy your work and life.

Know this: If you want to get things done, learn how to relax, think, and give your best. You can do it.
