MADHUSUDAN REDDY shares some thoughts on utilizing time and achieving success .
If there is anything valuable in creation it is time. Life is something that is embedded in every day, every hour, every minute and every second, so how can we systematically utilize time to be successful?
Let’s first try to observe how we start the day. How often do we wake up with the feeling, “This is a beautiful world, and I am going to welcome another wonderful day“? The way we start the day colors how we will spend the rest of the day. The first 30 minutes of our time are golden moments, valuable moments, affecting the quality of the rest of our day. So if we can spend those moments with self-discipline and wisdom, perhaps we will also utilize the rest of our time in a proper way.
“Until you stretch your wings, you’ll have no idea how far you can fly.” There is tremendous power in our wings.
Try to wake up with enthusiasm, with a smile on your face. Stay like that for a few minutes. Now, very gently, open your eyes. Try to see the beautiful world that is in front of you. For the remaining 20 minutes read an inspiring book, meditate or practice Yoga.
Exercise for at least 20 minutes every day, as part of your daily routine. Not much time is needed for Yoga and meditation. Spending just 30 minutes a day will develop a deep level of concentration that will save you hours of study and increase your ability to read. Then, before going to bed at night, spend five minutes with your eyes closed reflecting on how things went during the day. If you have hurt someone, it is a good time to let go by feeling sorry for it. Those minutes before sleep are a wonderful time to analyze the day and try to find better ways to be.
