The Secret - 8 Beautiful Life Concepts

The COVID-19 pandemic had certainty brought in a very stressful and negative atmosphere. It was nearly impossible to look for optimism & find a way to appreciate the good things happening around; but it was equally important to not lose hope and try to keep a positive outlook wherever possible. 

Samruddhi Kelkar from AISSMS College Of Pharmacy shares her experience about reading a book name "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne. That being so, She took up on this book & started reading. With every page and chapter, She went on realizing that many of the concepts in this book are actually very pragmatic. Everything that this book spells is relevant to life at some point and can help us become a better person & enhance our living! 

Here are the 8 different concepts from this book -

1. The greatest secret of life ‘Thoughts Become Things’

Thoughts have a frequency; as you think about them, they are sent into the Universe and they magnetically attract all the things alike that are on the same frequency and are returned to you in the form of another thing. Start thinking that you have scored very well in your exams and those thoughts will give you motivation and also radiate positive energy.

2. Next essential ‘Become aware of your own thoughts’

Your thoughts determine your frequency; when you feel bad you are drawing towards you more bad things, on the other hand when you feel good, you are powerfully attracting more good things. If you are not feeling happy, find some ways and reasons to change your mood. 

3. Third fundamental ‘Set your goals and intentions’ 

Know what you really want to achieve in your life. At this point don’t think about how you will achieve them or is it really possible. Your goals can be anything from short term to long term; the ones achieved in a day or the ones which take days/weeks/months or at times years! You just need to set your intentions right to achieve it without any negative feelings.

4. Fourth Key- ‘Self-belief & optimism’

Always keep the belief that whatever your goal is, it is possible for you to achieve by hook or by crook!

5. Fifth element- ‘Hold Gratitude’ 

Showing gratitude is the most powerful way of shifting your energy and bringing more of what you want into your life. Be grateful for what you have, appreciate the small things in your life, be thankful forever for the same and you will certainly entice more jolly things.

6. Sixth factor ‘Keep up Visualization’

Visualization is a process where you imagine that you have already achieved your goal. This helps in attracting more optimistic and happier thoughts come back to this scenario from time to time as though its reality.

7. Seventh aspect ‘Go for good health’

Health is wealth as we all know; always focus on achieving if not great but at least good health; this process will take you to perfect health. This is something we all can do every day despite the difficult scenarios outside.

8. Last but not the least ‘Learn to let go’

This is the most important practice- Let go! Let go of the difficulties from your past, social beliefs and cultural codes. Do the work you love and enjoy.

AISSMS College of Pharmacy - Extracurricular Activities-Impact On Personality And Career

 

Participating in extracurricular activities will help to build up all the required qualities to develop your personality.

Events like cultural programs, sports activities and NSS camps occur in almost every college, but the participant ratio is hardly as expected. It is not about the interest all the time. There can be different reasons hidden behind this. For example, one might feel less confident or lack courage to ask or say anything in front of so many people; shy nature could become a difficulty in expressing freely; one might find it tough to interact with strangers. But it is normal to feel this way. If you also relate to any of these challenges, it is totally alright to accept that but what is not correct is not improving this. It is merely a fear.

We live in the era of artificial intelligence where the world has become very competitive. This constantly demands you to push yourself towards grooming your personality. Only studies can make your living a little boring and ultimately affect your academic results too. Your brain always needs stimulation and extracurricular activities will give you that opportunity. You might not get likely results in the first time when you start participating but that doesn’t matter either.

You can choose your own activity. If you enjoy playing, then you can join some sports. It will help you stay healthy. Step into cultural activities; it will comfort your hesitation to interact with new people. Music, drawing, painting, social work; these activities build your time in yet another constructive way. Cherry on the top, if you stay consistent in participating in these extracurricular activities, you might find a profession in your hobby or passion.
