What To Look For In A Life Partner? | Relationships | Professor M.S. Rao

“Life is meant for learning, enjoying, and growing, not for litigating.” ―Professor M.S. Rao

When I was working out in the gym a young man approached and informed me with excitement that he was planning to get married. He asked me how to choose a life partner and asked me to advise how to ensure a happy married life. I advised him as follows.

Choosing the right partner is essential to ensure longevity in married life. Choose the partner based on compatibility and chemistry. Look for character, not color. Look for attitude, not appearance. Don’t look for money and status because they are dynamic and can change at any time.

When you love a person you get trapped but later you realize that there is no compatibility. You regret your mistake. So, you must be careful while choosing your partner. Ask a few questions before marriage to avoid ending up with disappointment and divorce. Check the alignment of your dreams and ambitions. Find out the plans to check whether they are aligned with you. Check for compatibility in financial goals. Proceed if you are persuaded with positive responses from your prospective partner.

After marriage, treat her with respect. Love her. Care for her. Empathize with her. Don’t take her for granted. Spend time with her. Communicate carefully. Ensure physical intimacy. Have sex regularly. You cannot be the same as your partner but you must create a common ground. Look for similarities, not differences. Be each other's best friend. Accept the fact that your partner is not perfect. It requires a lot of hard work and sacrifices to maintain your marriage life intact and make it successful.

When you have a perfect partner, you can live in harmony and happiness. So, create a conducive environment at home. This is the finest remedy for all illnesses. Be patient, loving, and caring. Enjoy the process. If things go too extreme adversely, explore the option of divorcing to avoid further complications. Learn to lead a happy and independent life after divorce.

Your siblings may go away. Your in-laws may go away. Your parents may go away. Your children may go away. But it is your spouse who will be with you throughout your life. Keep this in your mind and lead your life carefully and mindfully.

Takeaway: Follow these tips to live a happy married life. A relationship is not about you or your partner. It is between you. Remember that a long-lasting relationship is about friendship, deep bonding, and compatibility.

Life Is Not A Race! | A Life Lesson From Professor M.S. Rao

“If someone asks me a question, ‘What is it you see when you look out the window that is visible but not yet seen by others’ I will answer, ‘I see a world filled with people with a huge potential lying untapped. If I can identify their strengths and inspire them to unlock their potential, I feel that I have made a difference in the world.’” —Professor M.S. Rao

We are caught up in a cutthroat competitive world where we compete with others ruthlessly to stay ahead of the life race without understanding the consequences and repercussions.

You must take a pause and reflect on yourself to lead your life with purpose and meaning. There is no sense in getting into the rat race neglecting our relations and the people around us. Enjoy each moment. Every one of you is a unique being. If you are an employer, ensure work-life integration. If you are an employee, emphasize work-life balance. There is growing mental illness and depression globally because of the rat race. It is essential to end this rat race to lead your life mindfully and meaningfully.

Social media has thrown both challenges and opportunities where people often compare with others without understanding others' challenges. Social media users often present their rosy pictures. People don't understand it. Some of the so-called spiritual gurus and guides on social media are failures in their personal lives. Finally, they became spiritual guides and gurus. So don't compare with them. Don't compete with others. Only compete with yourself and raise your bar constantly.

We are into a goal-oriented society. It is essential to be process-oriented, not goal-oriented to enjoy life. Focus more on the process, and less on the goals. When you reach your goals, you lose your enthusiasm. So enjoy the process to reach your goal. Reset your goals. Enjoy your journey, not your destination. Be a karma yogi.

When everyone wants to cross the finish line first, then the problem starts. Ensure that you cross the finish line at your own pace. Collaboration rather than competition is essential. There is more meaning in collaboration rather than in competition.

Takeaway: Start every day on a clean slate. Life is a gift from God. Enjoy adding value to yourself and others. Don't convert your entire life into a race. Compete with yourself, not with others to lead your life with purpose and meaning. Life is not a race, a journey. Enjoy the journey to lead your life meaningfully and mindfully.

“Life is not a race but a pace we need to maintain with reality.” ―Amit Abraham
