Turning words of wisdom into daily actions—consolidated insights.
=======================
I am astonished to gauge the gap between what one says and what that person does in their regular behaviors.
I thought that this aspect deserved to be shared. Hence, this post. The first part is a common scenario, followed by reasons for such abnormalities. Common Scenarios:
While talking to the people, they seemed to be "all knowing." They had their own unquestionable experiences. They beautify the discussion, adding many "words of wisdom."
I feel pressed and uneasy when I find their daily ways of living quite different from what they were talking about. At times, surpringly opposite.
Many people enjoy arguing and living superficially. They are creating stuff of their choice, and they know that is enough not only to survive but to dominate.
They have no faith in deep learning. They are not ready to unlearn anything. They are in a hurry to achieve their goals and to be distinguished in the crowd.
They are very selective about whom to listen to and what to accept.
They are more quick to contradict and resist coordinating and exploring commonalities.
They are afraid of going forward and taking responsibility. They criticize instead of creativity in any field. They are often blank to respond if asked "why of anything." they are pursuing.
In this study, I consolidate important insights that cover reasons and remedies too.
1. Those people are living either in the past or jumping to the future, moment by moment.
2. They are the least flexible. They are adamant about their views. They insist, though they are unsure of the details.
3. They are in their comfort zones. However, they strongly deny such living.
4. They rarely bother to cross-check the information. They take input from one source and feel happy to transfer it to others. Today’s technology has made this transfer too easy.
5. They have no idea of living large. They talk more about status than struggle. They live in the world of opinions.
6. They don’t know how to play the win-win variant. They are not shameful to gain at the cost of depriving others.
7. They count outside events to compare and contrast. They always think in material terms, not in merit.
8. They have complaints about everything—natural or system-created.
9. They work mostly to conceal their deficiencies. They dominate in the gruop by flashing luxuries.
10. They are living within themselves. They are custom-oriented and proud of heredity.
11. They never look inside. They are not taught the meaning of "inner power."
12. They are yet to learn how to live in the present moment. They are ignorant about the "power of now.".
13. They are evading even a small amount of risk and uncertainty. They always play safe.
14. They are not ready to step off the beaten track or devise new patterns.
15. They talk more about outcomes, ignoring the large track of processes.
16. They are confined to likes and dislikes in their discussion.
17. Most of them are envious.
18. They prefer to keep nothing at stake.
19. They are busy but unproductive.
20. They flow with chaos and confusion. They like handouts. They rarely try to stand out.
21. They largely believe in conventional wisdom. Never mind if they are rotten.
22. They fail to notice that they are sliding, for which they are responsible.
23. They don’t know their power to learn and adapt to new situations.

Conclusions
The majority of people live without knowing what life is.
Life is blank if there is no self-acquired responsibility.
Being realistic is the essence of life.
Life evolves if you go deep into the issues you encounter.
Accepting deficiencies creates a platform for new growth.
Overall, nothing new, but a reminder to minimize the gap between what you know as standard theories and what you exhibit in your behaviors.
