TOP 5 LESSONS FROM OVER 100 BOOKS I HAVE READ

I have read more than 100 books in the past years and I have noticed some things that have come up in all those books again and again. These are some of the most important lessons that we people should be taught in our lives but don't know neither the school nor the society teaches us all these things. These are the top 5 lessons that I have read out of 100 books.

1. HABITS ARE KEY

7 habits of highly effective people, the miracle morning. All these books speak about one thing that you should remember throughout your life that you are your habit. You are not what you think in your mind. You are what you do every day. If you dream that you will become a very famous singer but if you do not practice every day then you are just lying to yourself, the same way if you eat junk food every day, then you will not become healthy by just eating salad. Right habits will change your life. If you keep doing the same habit or work for a long time, you will definitely get the result. For instance, all those people who keep crying that their weight is not decreasing, this is just because they do not have a habit of eating healthy food. But one thing to keep in mind is that habits will not change your life in a pinch. Habit is not a quick fix; it takes time to make habits. According to the study, a new habit takes one to three months to create so one must keep having patience with this, but if you keep doing any habit for a long time, then nothing will keep you away from your success. You cannot change your future but you can change your habits and surely your habits will change the future.

2. MINDSET IS THE MOST IMPORTANT 

Mindset tells the view you adopt for yourself, affects the way you lead your life. Many people blame things around them for not making them successful like they say they do not have good genetics or they were not born in a rich family or they are not good-looking. But the main thing that keeps you away from success is your own mindset. You have to see this world deeply and you have to understand that kind of mindset you should adopt to understand this world. The only thing is that either you can blame the whole world or you can change your own mindset. Yes, maybe your lives have been very difficult but remember you are the one who can change their life. You have to keep a growth mindset where you can always believe that with hard work and patience you can achieve anything.

3. HARD WORK BEATS TALENTS

Many people complain that they do not have any special talent. I want to tell that talent is not that important. Yes, maybe talent is like a starting point from where you can start anything but you need more other things also to be successful. Many people have talent but not everyone becomes successful. You may know many people who were very talented, they may do something but they could not do anything in their life. But there are also many people who never talented before but became very successful by persistent hard work. Stop complaining that you do not have a talent and start doing hard work smartly, this way you will become successful.

4.HAPPINESS CANNOT BE PURSUED

I took a little more time to understand this thing. When I read this book Man's Search for Meaning, that time I understood that you cannot run after happiness. It will come to you by itself. So many people try to run after happiness but it is not a prize or gift which you will get after winning any competition. I also believed, if I achieve this thing I will become happy, or if I achieve that thing I will become happy but you also experience that you cannot achieve happiness in this way. This will come to your life by itself. When you work on your goal or aim every day; when you do your habits every day; When you find happiness at little things in your day to day life, happiness will ultimately come to you. This is the thing that will grow slowly. As you continue to live your life, by having compassion, honesty, and truthfulness for others, you will also feel happiness. 

5.YOU WON'T GET BACK YOUR TIME

You will not get your time back, one day you will die and we cannot change this thing, so why should you live your life in a way in which you are not happy.' why live your life on someone else's terms'? At the end of our lives, we do not regret those things which we already did in our life but we regret those things which we do not do in our lives. Learn all those things which you really want to learn, do all those things which you really want to do. Travel the world, meet new people, do things that you would not be thought of doing even in your dreams. This life is very short, it will be best for us to live it in our own ways. We must remember this thing in today's era when everyone gets angry about everything, people fight on caste, religion or other things but they do not remember that when they die, all these things will not matter at all. So don't get stuck on small things, be happy, and interact with others happily.  One day we'll all die so live deeply and purposefully.
