Chapter #5 crafting your life.

When I became more aware of the fundamental blocks of my life, it became very clear that I am very good in certain areas and hopelessly poor in other. And attempts to escape by doing more of what I am already good at, not only not solve the problem in other areas but make that area also dissatisfied.

There is no way you can solve realtionship problem by working more hours .And there is no way your mind will shut up about it. Also this undersatanding gives us perfect opportunity to know where we need to work more.

In my case I noticed I my work and finances were in a good shape, I liked my work and was getting paid decently [8/10]. My realtionships was very poor, be it with a college, friend, family or stranger. I had no understanding of how to deal with other people, what I want and what I don’t. mostly I was trying to withdraw from all kind of social situation to avoid facing it [2/10]. My health was average, I wasn’t really abusing my body but than not really taking good care of it either [5/10]. My self mastery was also very poor, becasue I was little better than my surrounding in work, I became very egositc and has very little to no awareness of what is happening inside me [3/10].

Once I understood my current predicmant and causes of dissatisfaction. It became very clear that I need to deal with these areas. And this understanding gave me strong direction.

Following next 3 years, I devoted my life to deeply understand each area of life and learn what really matters. And gradually grow in them. In next few chapter we will go through each of this area and see how can we rapidly grow.
