Sometimes obtaining knowledge isn't enough to see your dreams come true, you need the right mindset to keep yourself from getting lost along the way:

The most important aspect of living a happy and satisfying life is developing the personal life skills to be happy. Being happy is the result of combining the inner person with their day-to-day activities. Personal development is a lifelong process which requires will, dedication and daily discipline.

The right attitude can help you stay calm and happy even in the most difficult of times. This life skills blog includes tips on simple ways to make life better.

We wanted to share life enriching information with our friends and family during 2013, at the same time one of our co-founder was deciding to quit MNC job and work on life skills full-time. In thirst of fullfiling this ambition we were looking at various online platforms. Finally we came to know about blogger.com from Google. We humbly started our life skills blog simply called as 'life skills'.

What is 'life skills'?

According to World Health Organization (WHO), Life skills are defined as “a group of psychosocial competencies and
interpersonal skills that help people make informed decisions, solve problems, think critically and creatively, communicate effectively, build healthy relationships, empathize with others, and cope with and
manage their lives in a healthy and productive manner. Life skills may be directed toward personal actions or actions toward others, as well as toward actions to change the surrounding environment to make it
conducive to health.”

Bearing the WHO definition in mind, the 'Life Skills' blog offers people the emotional, social and intellectual information needed to achieve success in life – on a personal level, an interpersonal level, and within their community and work places.

Our main aim right now is to inform and educate others on various topics that will teach them about how they can live a more fulfilling and enriching life. Some of the topics we speak on and also collect and share from various sources for the blog. Here topics are discussed, from goal setting, healthy eating, improving marriage or relationships with dear ones, home living, and so much more.

The Kindness Trap: Why "Ruinous Empathy" Is Stalling Your Team’s Growth:

- We’ve all been there. A team member submits a report that misses the mark, or a colleague’s performance begins to slip. You want to speak up, but then that voice in your head starts whispering: “They’ve had a hard week,” or “I don’t want to hurt their feelings.” So, you stay silent. You sugar-coat. You say, "Don’t worry about it, you worked hard." It feels like kindness, but it’s actually a feedback failure known as Ruinous Empathy. While it feels "nice" in the short term, it is ultimately one of the most damaging behaviors a leader or peer can exhibit. What is Ruinous Empathy? Ruinous Empathy occurs when you prioritize someone’s immediate emotional comfort over their long-term professional growth. By avoiding necessary, constructive criticism, you aren't protecting the person—you’re actually preventing them from improving. The results are predictable: * Stunted Growth : Employees never learn where they are falling short. * Broken Trust : Eventually, when...

Beyond the Clock: Reclaiming Our Most Precious Hours for Family:

- The sun climbs, painting the morning sky with hues of promise. For many, that daily ascent marks not the beginning of personal pursuits, but the quiet march towards another workday. From **8 AM to 5 PM**, five days a week, the most vibrant, energetic hours of our lives are often exchanged for the steady hum of the office. This isn't just a block of time; it's the very core of our waking, productive selves, poured into tasks and targets that shape our careers, but often leave precious little for the dreams that stir outside the cubicle walls. Think of it. These are the hours when the mind is sharpest, the body most resilient, the spirit most eager. It's when children are at school, when the daylight holds the most potential for outdoor adventures, creative projects, or simply quiet reflection. Yet, for nearly a decade or two, sometimes even longer, this prime segment of our existence is dedicated to the demands of professional life. We arrive, often before the world fully...

😒A Businessman was deep in debt and could not see any way out. 😒Creditors and Suppliers were demanding payments. He sat in the park, deep in thought, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy. 👍Suddenly an old man appeared before him and asked, "I can see that something is troubling you seriously". 👍After listening patiently the old man said, "I believe I can help you". 👍👍👍He asked the man his name, wrote out a cheque and put it into his hands saying, 👍"Take this money, meet me here exactly one year from today... and you can pay me back at that time". 👍Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come. 👌👌👌The businessman saw in his hands a cheque for $ 500,000... signed by Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world. 👍"I can erase my worries instantly...

Imp Teenagers and underlying challenges of current generation:

- Teens naturally experience stronger urges and have less ability to delay gratification compared to adults. A teenager is someone who is between 13 and 19 years old. There is a continuous socioemotional development happening among teenagers. Puberty brings a surge of hormones that can lead to intense emotions and risky behavior. Teenagers are also grappling with social pressures, identity formation, and desires for independence, which can lead to impulsive choices. Some teenagers experience strong feelings and attraction towards the opposite gender. Unfortunately, this can lead to unhealthy or harmful relationships. Some young people may misinterpret exploitation as love, resulting in painful experiences. These experiences can have long-lasting emotional consequences, including feelings of guilt and depression. Compared to adults teenagers have lesser self control, they might get into unnecessary and undesirable commitment with opposite gender. Thus parents and guardians should m...

Do you think people hurt you:

- Do you want to know the philosophy of why you get hurt when people say something; then this article is for you. You might have come across people telling you, “You are very disturbing”. “I don’t like the way you behave” “You don’t know how to cook a good food” “You are not productive at work” Do the above kind of attitudes from others affect and hurt you? Well, you should not be offended when they say something to you, or comment something on your behaviour, calm yourself down and think of it as their perspective or a joke for the day. I know it’s not so easy to practice. Tell yourself the person who is the potential offender has as much right to his opinion as you do to yours. Besides, they’re only words. They are not judgements on you. What can words do? They certainly can’t break your bones! Have a philosophy that ‘words-will-never-hurt-me’ it’s a very important philosophy of communication in any relationship. Think that people ar...

When your mind and body is in sync, it means you have a balanced health:

Dear Friends!! The biggest investment during the Pandemic is to have a balanced health. Health is wrongly pursued as psychical health however a holistic picture of a sound health is *when your mind and body is in sync* which means you have a balanced health. A study says that only 65% people do physical excercise and only 10% invest into their mental health. The fact is shocking yet true. Encourage you all to prioritise your Mental Health as well. * Consider you brain as an Organ like any other organ. *Like other organs Brain can also dysfunction *Brain can also fall sick and get diseased I use a zumla or a muhavara or an Idiom which goes like this *when there is an issue with heart(Dil) we don't call the patient Deewana than if the brain has an issue why we call them Mental/Mad or look at them differently?* Think about it? With this thoughts I tried to hold each one you with some awareness session under *Jagruth Learning Hour* and tried to educ...
