Sanjeev Himachali QUOTES

1 " Our life is all about personal choices we make. We choose the life we live. "

2 " A LIE is BEAUTIFUL, melodious, STYLISH, and attractive. On the contrary, TRUTH is UGLY, rude, DULL and repulsive. That's why often people get attracted towards LIES. They embrace it and live with. The truth is usually ignored and disowned. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

3 " MARRIAGE IS NOT AN EVENT. Marriage is a journey. A journey that begins from the very day you hold hands of one another to walk together rest of your journey. During the journey, you LAUGH together; CRY together; care for one another, pacify each other, and you create a new world for yourself. You walk together during all seasons. You share your JOY and you share your PAIN. You continue to walk together until time parts you away. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

4 " Never ever wish to be SUCCESSFUL like SOMEONE else. You don’t know their STORY. You are aware of their STRUGGLE. Behind that make-up, people hide their SCARS and injuries. Behind those expensive sunglasses, they hide their TEARS. And behind that positive outlook and attitude, they hide their FEARS. Be yourself. Write your own story. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

5 " Your ADMIRERS make you STRONG and courageous. Your DETRACTORS make you SUCCESSFUL. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

6 " Understanding RELATIONSHIPS –
If I have something to share, however, I didn’t share it with you because you didn’t ask me. It means I DON’T TRUST YOU.
Even if you didn’t ask me, I still shared it with you, giving my trust to you. However, you shared it with the entire world. It means YOU ARE UNTRUSTWORTHY.
I know what you know, however, when I asked you, you lied to me. It means YOU ARE DISHONEST.
LOVE and AFFECTION are two essential elements of HUMAN RELATIONSHIP. However, whether you deserve my LOVE and AFFECTION or not is based on your TRUSTWORTHINESS and HONESTY. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

7 " There is ONE difference between a successful and unsuccessful people.
There is ONE difference between happy and unhappy people.
There is ONE difference between wise and unwise people.
There is ONE difference between achievers and non-achievers.
And that ONE difference is the BEHAVIOUR of an individual.
It is neither your education nor your wealth or social status but your BEHAVIOUR that decides your happiness, success and wisdom. Mind your behaviour and it will take care of everything else. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

8 " In a quest of looking at those who are running AHEAD OF US or TRAILING BEHIND US, we tend to overlook those who are running WITH US. In a race of life, some people will always be ahead of us and some will be behind us. Let’s not forget to ACKNOWLEDGE and APPRECIATE those who are supporting and caring for us while we are busy running. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

9 " If you can think about it, you can achieve it. The difference between your thought and achievement are your self-doubt, and fear of failure. The longer you will take to start, the longer you will take to reach your destination. Seeds of everything that we see around were first sown in the mind. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

10 " For every woman you know who has been given substandard treatment by her parents, used by her friend or boyfriend, abused by her husband, discriminated by her employers and ridiculed by society, I know a man who has been burdened with family responsibility since childhood, humiliated by his girlfriend, bullied by his employers, pushed by society and harassed by his wife. Everybody is fighting their own battle. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

11 " CRITICISM is part of LEARNING and GROWTH. It means that you are taking INITIATIVES to learn something new and grow over from your current state. If you are not getting criticised, it means you are not taking enough RISK to learn something new and to grow. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

12 " Every problem has a solution”. I have never come across a problem which couldn’t be solved. However, in order to solve a problem, we need two things –

a. Define what the problem is? For example, “I am not happy with my job” is a generalized statement. Detect the root cause; is your reporting manager’s behavior is a problem? Is your inability to cope with the demands of your job a problem? Are the processes and the systems you need to follow to complete your job a problem? Is your compensation a problem? Are you not motivated enough to do your job? Is work-life balance a problem? Often, we combine multiple problems into one and then look for one solution to solve them all. It doesn’t work that way.

b. Take ownership to find a solution to your problem and stay committed until you find a solution. There is a saying, “Problem is not a problem. It is our approach towards the problem that’s the primary cause of the problem”. And, most importantly, it is YOU who need to solve problems of your life...problems that are bothering you. So, take the ownership.

If you are not able to define your problem in less than TEN words and if you don’t take the ownership of resolving it and you still cry about problems in your life...that process is called ranting, playing blame games, spreading negativity, etc. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

13 " Life without challenges is a boring life, isn’t it? Unless, of course, if you love gossiping and watching TV most of the time. Challenges are directly related to opportunities and growth. As they say, “A good sailor is the one who has sailed through the rough sea”. Similarly, a wise man is the one who has overcome different challenges in life and yet ready to face another one. If one wants to live a purposeful life, they must get comfortable with the unevenness of life. A man becomes wise with the variation of his experiences, not by his age. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

14 " A successful marriage needs much more than, love, care, and feelings. A woman can choose to be totally submissive in a marriage, like in a patriarchal set-up where she will have a happy married life, but not guaranteed if she will be happy or not. Or she can decide on what makes her happy and choose that life. Marriage is not about the happiness of one person at the cost of other. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

15 " What you have taken for granted is an unaccomplished dream for someone. Appreciate what you have. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

16 " Not everything that comes our way needs to be overpowered or won. At times we need to ignore many things and that’s what we call as FOCUS. Choose your battles, wisely. Knowing when to play and when to sit on the sidelines...when to lead and when to follow...is called WISDOM – a key element for staying focused to reach your destination...your goal. We cannot stop noises around us, but we can close our ears to the noises. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

17 " Whether planned or unplanned, no journey is easy. One can plan the date of journey, the mode of travel, and a place for the stay but how can you plan your experiences - people you might meet, the weather of the day, and situations you will be put through. So, what about the most unplanned journey – the journey of your life. It won’t be easy, right? But then who has been promised an easy life? No one. Life is just beautiful. It’s a balancing act. There are failures, rejections, disappointments, and hatred. And there are celebrations, acceptance, love, and compassion. Life is amazing. Fasten your seatbelts and be ready for unique experiences, designed just for you. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

18 " I believe, “Calculated Risk” is a misnomer. It is a phrase coined by those who have no appetite for risk. Did you ever hear, Calculated Failure or Calculated Success? So, either you are taking a risk or you are not. Let’s not confuse “risk” with “stupidity”. A risk is when you know the chances of success and failure are 50:50 or maybe 10:90...and you still go ahead. When you take the risk...you ONLY believe in your capabilities and you give your 100%...you are not scared of FAILURE. Stupidity is when you assume that situations and circumstances are in your favor or you have the illusion of being a man of “golden touch”. Choose Your Journey. Let your journey be the most adventurous. Prepare for it and give your best shot. If you win, you will celebrate; if you lose, you will learn. Don’t let success or failure of your journey sway you. That’s life. You Are Born Limitless. Don’t create any limits for yourself. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

19 " Your age doesn't earn you respect, your behavior does. "

― Sanjeev Himachali

20 " Do not punish people for being honest and truthful.
The day we will start punishing people for demonstrating honesty and truthfulness, will also be the day we will start surrounding ourselves with liars and dishonest people.
Reward the behavior you want your people to demonstrate. "

― Sanjeev Himachali
