The year has changed, now change yourself too!

You should touch the sky through your Karmas. You should have such power. Try to bring perfection to your skills & abilities so that your Karmas can take you there.
Always try to grow abundantly in your life. It means whatever skills you have, take that skill forward with your labour and persistence. Cultivate some specialty in it. And keep it in your mind that others should never snatch your time away from you. Let no one distract you from the path of your life, from the purpose of your life.
Bring the well-needed changes
You must win over your laziness and the flame of life within you must keep burning under all circumstances. Your motivation and enthusiasm must not end at any cost. Moreover, if you foresee some troubles, you should be excited to face that with bravery. And when you are in pressure to change life altogether, do it by bringing the well-needed ‘smaller changes’ to your habits.
Although it’s natural to resist change, yet, work towards that. Because change is good for you both for your professional as well as personal lives. It makes you flexible. Any change exposes you to fresh experiences and people. It opens up the doors to even greater opportunities.
So, bring the well-needed changes to your life positively by following a few tips and renew your life in the year that just changed.

1. Reflect upon what you want to change
   Whenever you decide to bring a change, you should first know what change you want in your life and also, why do you want to make the change. You may start by defining your larger purpose and identify which habit is more important to you now for chasing that purpose.
   Also identify what it is about your purpose or aspiration that adds to you as a wise human being. If your goals in life aligns with your habits and with the bigger purpose, then the thought of its wonderful gains will naturally trigger positive vibes within you and you’ll start working for it.
2. Surround yourself with positivity
   If you’re encircled by negativity, then how can you expect to own a positive life? People surrounded by negativity are tensed, stressed, face health issues, and have fewer opportunities than positive people.
   Make a decision to be positive, and also follow that with right actions. When you’ll start doing that, you’ll start to attract situations that are positive. Consequently, positive people will also start connecting with you.
3. Stay fit
   Staying fit also an excellent way to become positive in life. And if you are not habituated to it, change this habit. Exercise, meditation, healthy diet and positive inner voice can change the direction of almost all negative situations in your life.
   When you are determined to be healthy, you gain purpose, fortitude, spirit, and most of all it teaches you to live a disciplined life.
4. Be engaged in kind acts
   There are many people, who just don’t care about society. They say, why should we feed poor? Why should we donate? Are we working hard for those whom we don’t even know?
   This notion should change.
   This is a well-researched fact that people who take part in kind activities get happier over time. When you’re kind to strangers and the needy, you feel amazing as a human being- more optimistic, positive, and blessed. It’s not only about money.
   There are diverse ways that you can be kind to strangers. For example, you could buy blankets for the underprivileged in winters. Visit an old age home. You could volunteer for social service organisations whenever you have time. Or, you can just smile at someone who serves you.
   Any act of kindness, no matter how small it is, is appreciable.
5. Build a strong network
   Are you self-centered and don’t like mixing with people? If your answer is yes, then try to change this habit.
   Our Vedic scriptures say, the real power lies in organization. You can learn from animals when it comes to building smart networks. Look at the animals like monkeys, dogs, tigers, birds or even honeybees. Their organizational skills and quality of building network is simply wonderful.
   This special quality is such that if someone inculcates it, it will become that person’s biggest strength.
   A supportive social network helps you through the stress of difficult times, whether you’ve had some family problem or a day filled with bad experiences. A group also provides a sense of belonging.
