Wise Investment!!

Thought of the Day..

We see so many investment plans popping up everyday. They are advertised either in newspapers , magazines , Tv or on the net. Flashing schemes appear to double the money or to secure the future . Temptations like “Invest today to enjoy post retirement comfortably” takes us to dreamyland. Their is no end to secure our money & think of comfortable future. While making investments in the house plans , SIP’S , mutual funds etc we don't realise our youth age sneaks away so quickly. We remain focused to save money or even to invest for our children’s future. But what do we achieve? Nothing! because in old age people enjoy less & uncomplicated stuff. Our children leaves us for their own survival . So during our prime years the investment plans brings us stress, tension & unending dead lines . The time which we could have enjoyed slips away.

So why not invest in health, relationship & inner peace. Why not think about saving our health rather than money. Investing in good health that means keeping healthy & fit , eating good nutritious food & do regular exercise. So when old age knocks on the door we don't depend on others. No old age comes without ailments but at least diseases have to fight really hard to enter a well kept body. If we keep close tab on our body then we know what works for us , instead of depending on doctors & popping pills. Why spend money on hospitals & medicines, just take out time to look after our body.

Why not invest is good relationship? First & foremost with our family which includes parents , spouses & children. Apart from them friends , colleagues or neighbours. Take out time to communicate with them. It helps in understanding each others problems. The wider the circle the stronger we emerge , as someone will always watch our back in difficult time. Be ready to extend help , be more approachable & humble. This investment starts as one understands this complex world . Slowly & steadily it will keep on increasing & shall bring benefits.

Lastly why not invest in inner peace? Do things which brings us happiness. Things which brings smile on our face without any guilt. Never let go of our hobbies, be it reading a book, watering plants or going for a trek. Never stop self growth by claiming, “I know & have achieved everything”. Learn to live for yourself & don’t bring stagnant point in one's life.

Nothing better can be achieved if we invest in a plan which includes health , relationship & inner peace. This investment will double up in no time bringing additional joys & happiness in our life. The ladder we choose now will definitely secure our future, the one which we can merrily enjoy with our grand kids.

Think over it!!

The secret Ingredient

Thought of the Day

It is very important for the married couples to have ‘US’ time. Now everybody might wonder what is ‘us’ time. In today’s time we all are busy meeting with our deadlines, illness, looking after children or facing some kind of challenge. The institution of marriage or living a relaxed married life takes a backseat. We read so many articles on spending time together to rekindle the joy of marriage or taking out time for self relaxation blah blah... But as soon as we read these articles we quickly forget what is written, by the time we fold the newspaper or close the magazine. Keeping everything away in some closet of our mind.

All married couples face accusations ,pointing fingers ,blame games etc from their beloved spouses & soon this becomes part of life. They don’t even realise how time changes, the journey from happily married couple to tolerating each other couple. This all happens when ‘US’ time is missing from the life. So now I would like to explain what is it? ‘ THE US TIME’.

It means whatever the situation is, as a couple one needs to find time & sit together even for an hour whenever possible . There are small small things in daily routine which puts of our spouse unintentionally. They can be minor things which may be harmless for a moment but such things when accumulated over a period of time causes trouble in married life. It stretches the relationship to such a length that staying with the once beloved spouse becomes unbearable. So why wait for that moment when we start seeking help outside the marriage or discuss the relationship with everyone other then the beloved spouse. From beginning only if we start ‘US’ time practice , future harm can be controlled. But important thing in ‘US TIME’ is to hear out your spouse patiently. Without being judgemental or throwing your opinion. Sometimes venting out is more important to reduce stress in life .It will help in building a stronger relationship.
