The beauty among us: The 1% rule.

I have always been a dreamer since childhood. I dreamt of a future: a future world where everyone is happy and thriving. Colorful flying cars and neon lighted skyscrapers. A world where there is peace and love in abundance for everyone.

Well, now we have Corona. Some bad news around almost everyday. They say after this, we have to face climate change. Doesn't mean we lose hope. What do we require to raise ourselves up from this conundrum. People are struggling. But doesn't mean we stop fighting. How do we get rid of our problems?

First things first, I want to tell you, we need to stand as one people. We need to support and show love to our brothers and sisters. We need to let go of our differences for a moment and show solidarity. That's how we win. That's how we have always won throughout the history. From deadly plagues to world wars, people always won. From medicine to scientific feats, we keep achieving new heights everyday, only through solidarity. Letting go of our differences and coming together as a community to help each other grow out of tough times. This is how we win.

What we need to understand is this, this is how our forefathers won their battles and left a better world for us. This is what we need to do for our coming generations. To leave them a legacy so beautiful that they will feel that every day is a blessing. To leave them the world we can only dream of. That's all all of us want right. So what do you need to do? Join this movement today by helping your fellow brothers and sisters, share good ideas and knowledge to the world. Share hope and light. And beyond our struggles, will be a beautiful world.

But how can you help others if you are unable to help yourself first. I saw something about "Atomic Habits" on the internet and after years of study of self help books and religious scriptures and listening to motivators around the world, one of the things I learned is what is called the 1% rule, also known as Kaizen method. I hope it helps you. Here it is.

All you need to do to change your life, to turn it from a dark abyss to a heavenly existence, is to improve yourself 1% every day. You see, the day you start improving yourself 1% percent every day it compounds. In 30 days, you are 30% better than those who never tried. In 100 days, you are 100% improved. That means double of what you were and a complete turn around in the way you live life. In a year, you are at least 3x times better than you were before. How to do it? as simple as its name, do the 1% improvement every day. List your problems on a paper and do just 1% improvement to each of them every day. In 100 days, the problem will be completely solved (100%). After that, it only gets better.

You may try to set some priorities as to what challenges you need to conquer:

  • Having problem with a relationship? Just do the bare 1% to improve it, show bare 1% more love. For example, today give them a complement, next day help them with some task and so on. 
  • Having financial issues? Today plan out a your finances, and from next day start implementing those 1% at a time. 
  • Need to get a job as fresher? Today make a resume, from tomorrow start working on your skills. After a few days, start applying to jobs. Just 1% every day.
  • Suffering from mental issues, today talk to someone, tomorrow watch some funny memes or movies. Only 1%.

Look, there is another way to see this: the thought processes are like a see-saw, one side is all the evil things, other is all the good things. Suppose you are starting from the wrong end, keep pushing the weight on the see-saw to the other side 1% each day. After 50 days, you are at 50% and the bad effects are neutralized. Next day, you reach 51% and the good side of things are now more prominent. The see-saw topples. After that you can reach 100% at 100 days and problem will be completely solved. Now what is important to remember is to stay humble. You have won it, good, but there's still a lot of improvement that can be done, so keep doing it. And also, by now, it will become a habit so, it will be easier than it was at the start.

So, you ready to change your life and life of others around you into something good? Start today.

Beautiful isn't it? Yeah, now get to work. Love and Peace 🙃.
