A Small Question to Solve Problems Fast

The idea behind think small is to see the details that we tend to miss especially when we think big or when we see a situation heading south to be a massive problem. You might have experienced this several times where you think too hard on a problem or a situation that you must handle and finally it turned out to be pretty small or got solved easily with minor adjustments or actions.

Here we go, when you are facing a problem all you need to do is to see it from a perspective that is out from the problem. It means don't think from the inside but see it from the outside. When you do this you are not emotionally attached to the problem.

There's a small question that you can ask which can help you to achieve this. No matter the size or the nature of the situation that you must solve, ask this question.

"What if this is a small problem?" 

This simple question will help you to downsize the situation and will help you to see things out of box. When you treat a situation as manageable then you will be able to manage it. When you see it to be too big then it will be overwhelming and you might fail.

Use this question to question the problem. You will grow bigger and solve it faster.

The truth is all problems are smaller than what you think of. It is just the size of consequences that bothers you. The seed is always 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...
