I saw this email with the subject "Alert! Your Mailbox is full" in my official mail inbox. Didn't bother to delete emails as I work more on the client network. One day I was unable to send an email that is when I took a step forward to make some space. I sorted mails by size and deleted some emails hoping to get enough space. After a few days again I received an email that your mailbox is full. Then I realized that its not huge mails which were consuming space but there were too many small emails from multiple senders.
Isn't it same in our life? How many times we get consumed by small things. Many times it takes a lot of time even to make a simple change in life.
Life doesn't change with big decisions. It's about making those small insignificant daily changes that makes a big difference.
Our life can be divided into four areas. Which decides how well we do in life.
• Finances
• Health
• Relationships
• Spiritual
Finances
Most of the decisions are related to finance unless you have a big surname or bank balance.
weekend window shopping, un-planned expenses, buying things that you don't need with the money that you don't have to impress people that you don't like have made holes in your pocket and end of the month you have no clue where the money is leaking.
Small change to postpone buying things you want. Having a plan to make savings on a monthly basis. Can seal the holes of your pocket.
If you just try to maintain an account of your expenses for one or two months, you will understand that your majority of money is going on petty things which are absolutely worthless.
Health
Maintaining health is a fight. That fight is whether to wake up for an alarm clock or snooze for 10 more min. Whether to have breakfast or skip it. Whether to eat meals or eat pizza. Whether to exercise today or not. Choosing between taking the lift and using stairs.
Relationships.
Challenges in this area are because you always expect from others and accept your actions that whatever you did is correct. Try accepting others as they are and expecting more from yourself.
It's not that you will not have any challenge if you have the right people in life. It's about you being the right person.
I would like to share a quote which I often read and apply when it comes to dealing with people.
one more quote from the movie Ek villain
Spiritual
Spiritual is not about god or religious stuff. It’s about knowing yourself more.
Have you ever taken the time to understand yourself? Do you know what is your strength, weakness? What satisfies your soul?
The more you know yourself, the less you will worry about what others think of you. Take timeout to know yourself more.

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centred.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favour underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.
