When you assume nothing, do more

Have you seen any of the presentation of Steve Jobs or read about "Steve notes"? I always love his last slide , which will be saying "But there's one more thing". And in this slide, he used to tell some different which will keep lingering in the minds of the audience after the presentations. Life is something like this. Even when you loose all hopes, it sparks something "one more thing" and you will start moving ahead with its flow. Believe in "Ideas are easier to love than people." Remember you are breathing means your purpose of life is not yet over. In the period of despair when everything seems broken, find out what's your true strength is . Go for meditation or a fishing camp alone or just for a trip to somewhere you always wished to go , give yourself sometime rather than going into the whirlpool of thoughts.

If you think , you are the only one who is facing this , then i would say 'grow up'. Everyone once in their lifetime ends up such situations where life seems like a dark dream with no hope. Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.

The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.

I?always love reading J. R. R. Tolkien's "All That is Gold Does Not Glitter" poem or Jonathan Seagull whenever I feel bored in life. You can try that also .

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

Whenever you are asked “What should a person do when they want nothing more in life?” My suggestion would be to help others have more in their life and help other people be happier or find success and happiness. Or just enjoy as much as possible the plentiful blessings you do have in life for as long as you can. Take a break in life and go for some holidays and spend time with your self to know yourself better and find out what more you want for yourself and from yourself, in fact not only for your own self but for your loved ones and the society as well.

It is just a phase of depression where everything looks bleak and dull and makes one feel as if life has come to end. The reality is that there is much more to life even after losing everything because every day is a new day and new things happen. When one was a kid, one didn't know what teenage was. When one comes to teenage, one doesn't know what 20's are. When one comes to 20's, one doesn't know what marriage and parenthood phase is. After all these stages, one doesn't know what old age is. At every stage, there will be innumerable challenges, there will be times one feels it is the end, no hope moments, I cant take it anymore instances. But is that the truth ? Probably , no. The people who have seen all the phases of life, have also gone through all the hopeless moments.

All one needs is a break. Just some peaceful time for oneself to concentrate on how to solve problems and just get on with life an enjoy it. Perhaps that person could donate some time in helping others - not to make themselves feel better, but to encourage others to be more content in their personal status. There can be two ways of looking at this. First, if the person thinks he/she has everything then it means that they are already happy and content in life......continue to be so and spread happiness and smile. The second way is if the person thinks he/she has lost everything....and there is nothing to look forward to....then it is time to start again....with new hope, beliefs and a smile...it works...Cheers!
