Simple Life Complex Living



Friends,

Greetings & Thank you for visiting my blog.

This is my first blog & I hope to articulate "Work Life in todays world" in my own way. Hoping to connect with some of you & may be inspire some to think towards change !

We all cherish our happy days of school & college. Have you ever thought, despite the pressure of exams, results, studies & tuitions we always loved going to school and visiting the college campus (not the class ;)) - Acc to me the Reason is simple. At that point in life, we enjoyed our lives with our friends, gossiping, talking about sports, sharing similar emotions and connect. Sit back and think, this was possible because we kept our thoughts simple, "lets go to college, meet our friends then take it from there" - at least most would agree here. Simple rule of "Take one thing at a time, don't over plan, & never be under prepared"

From resonating happiness around, we gradually transform to be these hard looking, serious beings once our career catches up! From personal experience & people around, below are few points that i can classify to summarize my views:

1. School & College Life we boast, no matter what friends come first.
2. After you get your New Job, you are resoundingly happy about it and party for every reason.
3. Then friends together decide, family first, even if we don't meet - we always will stay in touch.
4. Better job, better salary - less time, less social activity. No touch with friends, hardly see families.
5. Worry that salary is not enough to meet the demanding needs of life, plan something about it.
6. In the midst of this, we get married to find a companion & life takes a different tangent of happiness again.
7. Growth, EMIs, Commitments, Flat, Car, take priority steadily.

and, without our own knowledge we indulge in a Complex Living! Give it a thought - In your college or school days to have fun in Life, how many of us worried about the money part? It always took care of itself !

I am not saying that establishing yourself or earning for a better living is bad. It is highly important to have status in social life, but don't overdo any of it. When the time is right - things will fall into place. If you feel you missed an opportunity, so be it – another one will come your way as long as you stay positive.

We need to make time for ourselves, our friends & family - this supersedes and stamps the very reason we work so hard. If you smile, the world smiles with you - then magically work, growth & life starts elevating! That is why good leaders are able to be all rounders & still be connected!

Ask yourself, does it make sense to earn high and not have time to enjoy it when you should? All that you earned is worthless when you are gone from the world and guess what - time won't reverse nor give you a second chance!

My suggestion: Take a break once in a while, getaway with family & friends - have responsible fun. Play sports, gym, eat healthy, give your body the rest it deserves. That's when life is lived to the fullest. This magically enables you to get energy, focus & determination. The positive vibe you will carry due to the happiness attained by spending time with family, friends & more importantly yourself will make growth a natural phenomena. That said, patience is must in every path of Life.

Think again, think simple - over complexity requires more time to resolve !

Life is short, Kiss It

K - Keep
I - It
S - Simple &
S - Sweet.

Benefits of doing this - you will not only have a healthy social life, but an improved work life. That in today’s terms is called Work Life balance - highly marketed, intelligently said, but the need is for us to implement & Live Life!

Take Away from this blog: It's not only how far you made it, but how you balanced it - Matters. Just like the song: I tried so hard, got so far, in the end it doesn't even matter ! Think Wise.

Thank you for patiently reading this blog. If you liked the content, have suggestions or different views, please do leave comments. Will always respect & appreciate different perspectives

- Avi
