Seven hints on how to live your own life



All of us have a big problem in our lives. We are living for others including the God in the heaven. So we have no purpose in our lives than meekly follow what others ask us to do. How to get out of this predicament. Let me give you seven guidelines so that, until you live, you live your own life:
1.         Banish the thought that you have to live according to the commandments of the God. Most religions are pretty old and had come with an assortment of commands that were relevant millenniums ago. Most of these are rendered irrelevant or useless. It is pointless, therefore, to carry the bricks of pain around your neck.
2.         Why exist for others? This is the question you must always ask yourself. Everyone has commitments to oneself, family and to the larger society.  One has to balance these three demands like how a magician balances three balls. If one ball is always on air, then his magic show crumbles. Similarly, if your family commitments are sinking you then it is your lifetime that gets shortened not their enjoyment of the plums of your effort. At every turn look after your own life as a prime purpose.
3.         Do your own script. Imagine what an actor does? He acts according to the script prepared by the producer of the film. That is all cinema. In real life you cannot go on dancing according to the music score set by your spouse, family, relations and friends. If you do then you are not living your life but escaping from your own life to please others.
4.         Live for the moment. The past is dead and the future is uncertain. Hence, you must enjoy your life as at the present. Basking in the glory of past or worrying about your future does only harm your present time.
5.         Do not go by the past experience. Get out of the past. Most of us are just prisoners of the past. Always look forward to bright future. At the same time you do it in a balanced manner. A good example is a person who had plenty of money in the past and limited sources now. Fearing that future can be even bleaker, he postpones enjoyment at present and save for the future without realizing that inflation can easily rip apart his savings.
6.         Visualize the fullness of your life. Life is not empty or barren. Your life may be dull these days but there are lot to be done. You can make it better if you understand that you must be free from worries and concentrate on achieving your goals of reasonably well-off life. You need to put effort, perform better and reach your goals.
7.         Look at the positive side of the life. When changes come in jobs or partners adapt to these with confidence that you are going to be yourself so that you scale the heights. At times you have to be so busy and other times you should be able to relax. Balancing relaxation and being busy is what all billionaires are adept at.
By undertaking a cosmic analysis of your body, mind and spirit, you can find out additional measures that you must implement in living your own life with a big bang.
