Jam Jar

In this transition, each of us has become future-ready even before we thought of it, similarly, we have also obtained so many options unlatched. When we were kids, we all wanted to become a doctor, someday a lawyer, or maybe run a business or something. Skip to 20 years and you see different career choices right in front of you. The follow-up question is how does one know which career is best suited for them? So, I happened to recently read this book The Defining Decade by Meg Jay- which had a very beautiful case study I’d like to share. It is called the Jam experiment, so they choose a local grocery store to understand one's life choices. So, there were two conditions, one which has six flavors available for tasting, whereas in the second condition it has six plus the eighteen more flavors of jam. Cut to the chase study showed that the twenty-four-flavor table attracted more attention yet resulted in fewer buyers. Shoppers flocked to the exciting array, yet most became overwhelmed

Self Doubt

I get worried about my friend Paul.

Past Mistakes have made him learn and grow to a great extent. Some day he pushes himself and there are days where he feels guilty for decisions he is making about his life.

It's not only about his academics, past relationships, friendships, or maybe opting for something in his interest but for every decision he is definite about. I think it's pretty natural to feel for someone.

Clear depiction of how lousy one feels. Self doubt stops us from moving ahead and we hesitate for commitments we make.

Indeed some level of self doubt and worrying is healthy as these doubts rather help us to question of what could be better for us and challenge ourselves as we reflect inward. 

However, with all these chronic states of our society it pushes to an extent to focus only on our flaws. It's hard time to see what lies beyond and that's when you find least motivated. It is evident to say that you ought defect in whatever you do. In many instances you think I shouldn't, I couldn't; your inferior parts starts ruling over the real you. Chances are you sometimes get into a fight with your mind, which chips your confidence that dial up your doubts 

Few ways to hold back your self doubt:
• Practice Gratitude. Try to find good in bad, make a list of things that you are appreciative about.  
                    "Let us rise up and be thankful, for it didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so us all be thankful." 
                                                    ~ Gautam Buddha
• Treat yourself like the most essential person. Celebrate your every small win.

• Express how you feel. Pour your heart out and if you are on the other side LISTEN to that person, don't counter opinion.

• Challenge your abilities. You can achieve anything you want, if that thing was planted in your heart it is for a reason.

• Accept what comes and move on, don't stereotype basis on your past experience.

• Empower yourself with constructive answers, and of course try having new interactions. Such feelings assist us to relate better.

To sum up, discover your strengths, believe, dream, inspire, look within and enjoy the journey.

The Ride of a Lifetime

Disney is something we have grown up watching. So, I have been longing to read this book by Robert Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company. If you like reading business books then this is definitely a quality choice to make, so again if you don’t like reading or not aspiring to be CEOs this leadership book can help you in personal life too. These are six takeaways from this book: 1. Leadership : Iger tells why is it vital to create space in daily life to let your thoughts wander your job. While sharing his journey he mentions his relation with Steve Jobs and how he always remembered him and his lessons and one beautiful thing Iger mentions about him is that “How Steve was great weighting all sides of an issue and not allowing negatives drown out positives, particularly for things he wanted to accomplish.” That’s a powerful quality to learn.  2. Innovation: As this happened in an early 2000' due to rapid change in technology, they had to adapt it. Time in time Iger recalls

Before anything else, I am happy and grateful that you made an effort for giving it a read. Initially I posted content on my social media but now I wish to take it ahead. So basically I'll be writing content on self help, as it's essential for humankind. Alongside I'll also suggest you few movies, documentaries, books some might even take you down the memory lane. I hope, you enjoy the content.  Your suggestions are also appreciated. Thankyou. Regards, Priyall Kothari Follow: Facebook Instagram Twitter

You never know what someone is going through

-
As someone who usually takes times to process information which comes to me as a disclosure, my mind gets completely shut. I take attempts when to take something to heart and when not. Of course we get clarity as we grow old. Today it's about  everyone who is going through something with a happy exterior. We assume situations who has either acted discourteous or have hurted us by certain piece of information, you might be inseperable with that person but sometimes that's what is inside them and you still may never know about it. There is always a reason for that certain kind of behaviour. It didn't crop me that even if the person is transparent he might not have the courage of talking as he may not want to get judged hence drawing a viel over his feelings. When the cruel reality is revealed I think it's more about the person who said it rather than you. Try to know the reasoning of their behaviour, and if you feel to give a second chance and trying to make things work i
