Do What You Love vs Do What You Are Good At

Yeah the famous argument and advice frequently asked. If you have a mentor or a role model that you have access to either in person or social media, you probably would have asked whether to do what you love or to do what you are good at. Let me make it simple for you. There is no such thing as single and only right way to achieve success. At the end of the day you want to be successful in your field.

I would highly recommend you to do both! If you are smart or lucky enough, you will combine them both. True genius at work lies in turning every single work into labor of love. That's how you will bring out the magic. In order to achieve that, you should have an open mind and must be willing to experiment trying something new. If you have built the ability to turn any work into labor of love, you have achieved success.

So in short, do them both. Turn what you love into a long term project and use what you are good at as a short term project which can help to fund your long term project. I want you to live a beautiful and happy life. All you have to do is something small about it every single day. Just one small action to live your purpose would give you all the happiness.

So, do both and start small!

If You Don't Know What You Want Then Do This

One of the hardest point in my life was to find out what I really wanted. You can call that a goal, purpose or a milestone to be reached but I am talking about identity crisis here. When you are following a mentor you are becoming more like them in your shades and at one point you will realize that you can fulfill your potential further than that.  You have your own and unique potential and to discover that, you need to embark on a self discovery journey. That journey might take decades because you must try a lot and find out what works for you. Sometimes, it won't be just one calling for all. There might be a few in a row. To cut it short there's a simple way to find out what you want if you don't know what you really want. We have to go the opposite way and find out what you don't want. Choose someone that you know and you don't like. List down every single details on why you don't like that person. Write as many as you can until you run out of ideas. Now the ...

No One Has Ever Become Poor By Giving

No one has ever become poor by giving. - Anne Frank. She was 15 years old when she wrote this in her diary. To give is to achieve your life's purpose. Giving without any expectations is the purest of all. You don't necessarily have to give money. It can be love, time, knowledge and joy. Best of all it'll return back to you. Givers are achievers. You must give value and in return you will receive value too. Give like there's nothing to lose. Give it with love. Think Small T. Mohanadasan

New Year Resolution Won't Work Unless You Do This

It's New Year already and you must have decided to set a goal either for your physical fitness or financial fitness. Whatever your goal is it won't work if you can't stick to it for long term. The body that you have now is the sum of the food choices that you made over the years and you expect you can change just like that. No, it won't work. The ultimate reason why you fail to stick to your goal is because of your environment. No matter how hard you try, some external forces will suppress you and your goal. Don't try to fight it because you will fail harder the next time. The only thing that you must do before setting any resolution is to change your environment. You are the product of your environment. If you were born in a war zone, probably your resolution must be to stay alive. Your environment can shape you and it has power over you. The best thing that you can do is to set your environment in a way that can be inducing for you to create and follow processes t...
