Conquer Yourself And Not The World

Today, in this fast-paced world, man is always under stress to stay in tune with life. He wants to control everybody and everything around him, little realising that controlling himself is the key to success, peace of mind and happiness.

There comes a time in life, when man realises that the external world is no longer interesting and does not give him peace and happiness. He understands that there is something more to life and starts analysing himself or starts looking within.

This is the beginning to conquering himself. This is the beginning for peace and happiness.

Even for a big bonfire, a small spark is what matters. Even a journey of a thousand miles starts with a small step. Conquering yourself is the first step.

Just as your shadow follows you wherever you go, your thoughts are always with you, wherever you are, be it home, at work or in the Himalayas. Hence, being in control of yourself is of prime importance. It is a mind game.

There are two options available to you; conquering yourself or conquering others.

Consider a situation wherein someone intimidates you. If you are in control of yourself or in other words conquered yourself by overcoming anger, you will react to this intimidation positively. You will not lose your cool but will leave the intimidator cold.

You will take on an assertive role, speak suitably and put him in place. You will be in control of the situation. When you have a cool head, you will take the right decisions.

Conquering yourself is an easier and sensible option giving you the desired results and conquering others an unwarranted one. Think differently. Do not try to conquer others; rather try to conquer yourself for peace and happiness.

This article is not intended to be one full of advice. Nor is it a magic mantra for everything. I can vouch for its effectiveness, as I have learnt in my personal, professional, social and spiritual life leading to peace of mind and happiness.

The motivating factor and purpose of this article is as follows:

Like everyone, I have gone through a series of experiences and learnt about the practical aspects of life. I wanted to record my experiences, which would help readers understand life without having to go through what I did. Thereby cutting down the learning curve substantially.

The importance of this exercise can be seen in the fact that this is aimed at the younger generation. I do not want them to despair in life, but feel that they should fight and carry on in their lives with confidence and courage.

This assumption is based on the fact that all round education is a must for an individual from the younger days itself. This will give him an idea as to what can be expected later on in practical life.

Another factor is that more and more couples are in employment these days. HR managers have a problem on hand, since employees carry thoughts of office to home and vice versa.

Husband and wife will have to mesh smoothly for happiness at home and efficiency at office. This will help HR managers in recruiting and retaining good and useful talent. Experiences in my personal, professional, social and spiritual life have proved that this is possible.

Conquer yourself and not the world, is a positive outcome of the conflict I had with my conscience and not with my colleagues or compatriots. Remember, everything is within you. I am only acting as a catalyst by kindling your thought process by way of this article.

Wishing you Success!
