4 stages of Life - Where r u?

What is #life? A continuous #movement from one #stage to another? Which stage you are in? What are you trying to accomplish? Why are you #running so hard? To get somewhere? Or to run away from somewhere? Whats your life #purpose?

One of my favourite author of 'The subtle art of not giving a f*ck' - Mark Manson puts it interestingly on his blog; that life is composed of 4 stages -

1. #Mimicing - We mimic others to learn from other - parents, teachers to society. Resultant effect is that we discover, we are not good ourselves and keep looking for social approvals. Lasts till early adulthood.

2. #SelfDiscovery - With adulthood, our conquest to discover ourselves begins. And we hit & try, and experience and soak in as much as we can to find a meaning. What we are good at? What is my life's mission? Good or bad learnings. What u should do and  what not & so on. Lasts till late thirties.

3. #Commitment - This is rightly so the golden period. U discovered what u r good at. And realize that time is limited. U focus & build ur life's work there. Lasts till retirement.

4. #Legacy - This is last stage where u realized time is close. And rather than building, u should pass the life's essence to others as legacy.

#Think about it. Hard.

Termites > Earthquakes + Hurricanes

“Hurricanes and earthquakes get all of the publicity, but termites do more damage and they take such little bitty bites!” 

Thats what Zig Ziglar once said, referring to the power of small steps leading to big changes. All radical changes on the planet are an outcome of minute steps done on a daily basis for a long time!  

Apply in your lives. A small workout done daily adds to your health. A brief periodic connect with old friends adds to your happiness. A daily time spent with your family adds to your life. A daily 5 pages of a book, adds a book's wisdom in a month. All in all, a day thus makes you a better version of yourself. Makes you complete a marathon, not a sprint.

"Daily" is the biggest value-add to your life.
