Life at times seems to have no meaning. we are here for a brief period, everybody has come here with an expiration date. The one who is born is sure to go one day. if we know we have stipulated time why do we spend our lives chasing the stuff that doesn't matter to us?

Ask yourself a simple question what is it that I want to invest my life in? whatever the answer put your heart, head, and soul in that.

Few quotes that have helped me immensely —

  1. “Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going because a straight line even in an ECG means we are not alive.” — Ratan Tata
  2. “You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions.” — Bhagavad Gita

3. “Having lots of money while not having inner peace is like dying of thirst while bathing in the ocean.” — Paramahansa Yogananda

4. “Millions of people never analyze themselves. Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained. They don’t know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction. By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress.” — Paramahansa Yogananda

5. “Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” — Rumi

6. “If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?” — Rumi

7. “The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life.” — Rabindranath Tagore

8. “Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.” — Rabindranath Tagore

9. “A lamp can only light another lamp when it continues to burn in its own flame.” — Rabindranath Tagore

10. “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it earns it, he who doesn’t, pays it.” — A. Einstein

11. “Ardently do today what must be done. Who knows? Tomorrow, death comes.” — Gautama Buddha

12. “Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so, the wise are not affected by praise or blame.” — Gautama Buddha

13. “Our greatest ability as humans is not to change the world, but to change ourselves.” — MK Gandhi

14. “Speak only if it improves upon the silence.” — MK Gandhi

15. “Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.” — MK Gandhi
