Unless you measure your life; you are vulnerable to manufacture misery.

It is an undeniable fact that “quality of life” is not always proportional to “quality of life-situation”. Do you know why?

?This is because of inevitable cyclic trap of life-situation between the duality, which is dwelling in between positive-negative, up-down, good-bad, aversion-craving and so on. In other words, life-situations follow an everchanging cyclic trap with ephemeral pain and pleasure without any permanency, constancy and certainty. However, it is also a proven fact that, “life” need not follow the cyclic trap of duality and can be completely independent of “life-situation” . In other words, it can offer changeless equanimity with certainty and constants sense of satisfaction, flow, freedom, meaning and satisfaction, fulfilment.

?So now question is which one would you like to focus and manage; (i.e., fix, improve and nurture) first before focusing on other? i.e., which one is your primary focus and purpose? “Life” or “life-situation”? As Sadhguru JV says, study the user manual of "life" before you use it in "life-situation".?

Hope you will prefer to managing your “life” as first or primary priority then your “life-situation”, right? . However another point is , you have to measure the life before you manage it; as management thinker Peter Drucker quoted;?

“you can’t manage what you can’t measure.”

?Here Drucker means that you can’t know whether or not you are successful unless success is defined and tracked.?Hence also Galileo Galilei says;

?“measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so.”

However, to our surprise, even though people measure their life-situation or outer wellbeing in finest precession from all possible perspectives ; i.e., wealth, possession, relationship, position in organization, name & fame, comfort, convenience, health parameters, self-efficacy, they ignore measuring their life, which is the necessary and sufficient condition for life-situation and hence success. This one-sided measurement and nurturing are creating imbalance and disharmony at individual level; i.e., abundance without ecstasy, credibility without character, relationship without love and trust, wisdom without humility, innovation without creative intelligence and confidence without clarity. In summary it bringing up outer wellbeing without inner wellbeing at individual level.

Hope we all know disgraced story of Elizabeth Anne Holmes; an American fraudster CEO and entrepreneur in the area of biotechnology; who was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for Theranos fraud case. If not, have a watch of following brief video.

Hence Darren Johnson said;

"In order to change unwanted habit and action, it is important to take time to get to know about your “self”

?Unless we do so, this kind of impact at individual level is creating unsustainable behaviors and disharmony at collective level as well; i.e., at family, society, organizations and any other eco-system in the planet. To be very specific, its promoting competition without collaboration, self-centric success without elevating eco-system, exploiting natural resources without nurturing it and pursuit of profit without true human and social values. Most of the sales-persuasion and marketing today is based on fooling the people by exploiting their innocence, ignorance and psychological bias. A lot of companies have been led to believe that doing good for the society, or having Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is largely about good PR and corporate brand building. This vision is inherently short-sighted and self-defeating. This is the sole reason the planet has landed today in to non-sustainable Capitalism in the name of modernity and prosperity and people are suffocated with poverty in peace and meaning of life at individual level.

?While the leadership of the world in sphere today are trying to fix the sustainability challenge, again most of them are addressing the same at the level of “life-situation” instead of “life”. As we know, anything is addressed at the level of “life-situation” will lead again to cyclic trap with ephemeral pain and pleasure without any real improvement sustainability. Hence it is high time to know about our ?life beyond life-situation in a scientific and measurable way, in order to manage it and bring sustainable success with satisfaction at both individual and collective level (i.e., family, society, organizations and any other eco-system in the planet). In summary, we need to start measuring our life to live like a "Smart-Sage".
