Random Streaks XVII

The reason many people' lives are not contented and fulfilling, as much as they want it to be, is because they work towards their commitments (financial and sentimental) and not towards their passions. Throughout the history of mankind, all advancements in all fields were made by people who worked towards their passions.

Everything in your life is measured. You are born with a specific number bones and organs in your body. Your heart is built to pump in only a specified volume of blood in your lifetime. Lungs will process only so many breaths of air all your life. Similarly, the count of things that you will get in life is also fixed. If you are destined to receive only 100 things altogether in life, then when you receive something, you will lose another to keep the count of 100. This upper limit of the count of things that you may have in life depends on your karma. By your own actions, you either draw a small circle around you or a bigger one within which you can play in your life. Everything is connected because everything is finite and measurable. So choose wisely what you want and what you are willing to compromise for it.

Most of the managers today are escalators, intent on escalating every small mistake of the employee, instead of being elevators and lifting the employee up by correcting their mistakes and motivating them.
-----
The reason many projects and teams fail is because companies or its management turn its people, process and principles into subordinates of time, thus focusing only on what is urgent and not what is important. Focus should not be in making money urgently but in building the ever important relationship with the team and clients over your principles and processes, even if it takes more time. This alone will have a long standing benefit over time.

Motherhood is not a position but a feeling. Mother introduces the child to its father. The father showers his love and affection to his child. At that time, he too exhibits motherhood. Motherhood is the affection that forms an umbrella of protection over the child, even ready to sacrifice itself in the process. Thus, father and mother are just two divine beings, the image of God, through whom God showers the affection of motherhood on us. So, love your parents truly and do everything for them, and you will not even have to say one word of prayer to God your whole life.
