5.Handling Life's Ups and Downs with Maturity

"Handling Life's Ups and Downs with Maturity"

We often hear the saying, "What goes up must come down," which is like Newton's third law of motion. This statement is commonly applied to our lives, and many of us see it as a rule we must follow. But is it always a negative thing? Let's explore this idea and see how we can look at it in a positive light.

The Dual Nature of the Quote: The saying can be seen in both a positive and a negative way. For instance, our grandparents used to caution us that too much laughter might be followed by tears. This made us wary of being too happy. We've also heard that quick success can lead to quick failure, making us believe in the need for caution in our achievements.

Embracing Positivity: We must not let this quote only bring negativity into our lives. While Newton's law talks about gravity pulling things down, this saying can also pull our emotional spirits down. It can make us see things more negatively than they actually are.

Handling Abundance: Fast gains don't necessarily lead to fast losses unless we don't know how to manage abundance. The speed at which we grow doesn't dictate our fate. In fact, the process of growing slowly can provide us with the maturity needed to handle success effectively. It's not about things always coming down; sometimes, what goes up can go even further if we approach it with greater maturity.

Life is a series of ups and downs, and how we handle these fluctuations matters. We shouldn't let the fear of what might come down limit our enjoyment of what's going up. With maturity and the right mindset, we can not only sustain our achievements but also take them to even greater heights.

7.Finding True happiness in life

Finding True Happiness in Life The saying, "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy," encapsulates a profound truth about the pursuit of happiness. The very essence of life revolves around the pursuit of happiness, and this pursuit is fueled by hope. While the future is uncertain, we live with the hope that it holds something better for us. Consider the paradox of wealth and happiness. Many individuals amass vast fortunes and acquire material possessions beyond measure, yet they find themselves inexplicably unhappy. On the flip side, there are those who possess considerably less in terms of wealth and material goods, yet they radiate joy and contentment. Think back to a time when you yearned for something—perhaps a new car, a bigger house, or a promotion at work. You likely envisioned the happiness it would bring. But when you finally achieved your desired goal, the happiness you experienced may not have been as enduring or intense as you had imagined. Does this mea...

Today's maturity is different form yesterday's

Arivu  ಅರಿವು … The Maturity at which we deal today is different from the maturity with which we dealt same on yesterday. I was discussing with a good friend of mine for his decision of postponing his marriage even after late 30’s.  He questioned me, what makes difference if it is too late marriage? Suddenly did not have answer to justify. But I believe, the intimacy at innocence age has different experience and feeling than the intimacy after over maturity. Every day pass by, we add an experience. Every time we meet a person we add an experience and get matured. It is foolish to say, I am meeting today with the same maturity had yesterday. Every experience showered gives a maturity in your life. I always say in my beginning of the speech, the person walked inside this room is not the same person when you go back. It adds a new experience in his life and adds a new wisdom on to the person. And it is true the person  gets next level of maturity when...

Poverty

“What is poverty – the state of being extreme poor ”. Different people have the different poverty. Someone has poverty of wealth. some body has poverty of love, peace,  happiness, health… Everyone has the poverty. Everyone undergo the poverty. Nobody has abundance of everything.   Man was going to temple and saw the beggars sitting at the entrance and explained his child they are poor people and poverty state. He went inside the temple and started praying with the God to provide the health. Child was confused. My experience in the life is that, each one undergoes all type of poverty at different time. When I started my life I had poverty of money, worked for some time and started the business. The moment started experiencing money in hand started feeling the poverty of love after some time got married. Again found poverty of happiness then we had a child and so on. Also my experience is poverty of one can lead to poverty of other. The poverty def...
