The right time to start is now.

The right time to start is now.

We went to our friend's daughter's wedding. One of our friends was eating some dry fruits and offered some to us, saying they were good for our health. Another friend asked, “What is the use of eating them once and expecting good health?” After discussing the benefits of dry fruits for a while, we changed the topic.

When I returned to my room, I reflected upon the statement, "What is the use of eating it once?" As a behavioural trainer, I started thinking about self-development activities and jotted down some related points.

Everything starts once and becomes a habit, or we stop doing it. The difference between achievers and those who struggle to achieve is that they make a start and continue what they started. My friend could have continued eating the dry fruits from that day and maintained good health. Similarly, there are instances when friends go out for a vacation, and a fitness enthusiast goes for a morning walk. Those who haven't walked before can start that day and continue. There are many situations where we need to begin to make progress. If we wait for the right time, companion, or mood, we will never start anything good.

Some people would like to write but keep waiting for the perfect thought, which may or may not come. Sometimes, the ideal thought comes, but the person is busy with something else. The thought doesn't come when they are free; they wait for the perfect time.

Everything we see today has been started by someone and continued with determination to finish it. Ask yourself what you plan to start and what is holding you back. Forget what is holding you, and start right now, whether it's reading a book, writing, walking, or anything else.

The right time to start is the time you start.

Listen, Understand and Respond

Listen, Understand and Respond Most of the time, people listen to respond rather than to understand. By the time the other person finishes speaking, the listener is often already formulating a response. Let’s explore what happens in such situations. While listening, we may be trying to engage our logical brain to recall our memories and creativity for a response, or we may be accessing our emotional brain to defend ourselves against what is being said. For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
