Building your future is not a day or two's job. You will have to work hard throughout your education and at work to build a wealthy and sound future. There is a lot of advice on how you can build your future and become successful, but below we are going to discuss some of the ways that are a sure-shot way of building your future and becoming successful.
 

1. Get a Good Education: This is one of the most important steps in building your future and becoming successful. Now, when discussing education, I am not saying to go to Harward or some other big university and get your certificates. I am saying to learn whatever comes your way. For example, if you are in school, then learn your subjects and work hard to grasp and understand the subjects that you have and try to excel in all those subjects.
   
   On the other hand, if you don't go to school, and if you are not able to afford to go and you have to work as a mechanic or some other skilled labor, then try to learn from the experts that you have. I still remember, when I was working in a Kitchen in a hotel, I used to stay late to learn new tips and tricks being used in hotels to make food more delicious, it helped to understand what was required. I was able to climb up the ladder in a shorter duration of time.
   
   So, it doesn't matter if you are getting your education from a school, college, or some professional expert, you should just try to gain as much knowledge as possible.
    
2. Take an internship: This is again an extension of the above point and focuses on getting hands-on experience on the work using mentorship by joining a company or organization in your desired field. For example, if you are undergoing graduation in computer science and you aim to become a developer, then try to get an internship in your field. This is because hands-on knowledge and practical code development help in becoming more sound in your domain.
   
   This is applicable to all the fields. Let's say that you are in the hotel industry and you have completed a Hotel Management Course, and now you want to become a Chef. To reach that capability, you will first have to understand all the things at the grassroots level and this can be done by joining a hotel as an intern and getting mentorship from experts or professionals in that hotel. This is one of the important things because it will add to your overall experience and your hands-on knowledge will help you get a higher-paying job.
    
3. Move up the ladder: Make a list of goals that will help you grow and work towards achieving them. For example, if you are working towards becoming a Senior Developer or a Chief Editor in a new company, try to break your aim into achievable goals. Let's say to become a Chief Editor, you should be able to write and edit articles without any mistakes and the structure and knowledge of the format of written articles should be easily understandable by you.
   
   Think outside the box, and come up with new ideas for your organization through innovative thinking. Taking more responsibility can help you to learn new skills that will enhance your career. This will take you out of your comfort zone but once you take on new responsibility, you will gain more confidence towards leaping your career growth.
   
   Do a SWOT analysis of yourself and discuss it with your mentors or seniors about what are your weaknesses and how can you overcome them. Plus try to understand how to leverage your strengths in your overall career growth.
    
4. Consider changing your domain: This is especially easy if you are trying to move laterally within your organization or outside your organization. This is because sometimes we may not feel that we are in the correct domain and we would be stressed out. Try to change your domain if you don't think that it is working. For example, I used to work in a Hotel as a chef but after a while, I was not enjoying doing that and I garnered a passion for writing. Therefore I took the leap of faith and jumped into a content writing role in another company.
   
   This move helped me a lot because I was stress-free and had a more flexible routine. I was now happy and was working on my terms. Although I had to learn a lot and even had to start with a lower salary, it was worth taking the leap and working towards my dreams. Similarly, I have heard many people who have left their job as HR Executives and become a full-time developers without having any prior formal education in coding. This is something you should also consider doing because you get only one life and it is never good to do something that is not fun or that simply doesn't seem to have any future.
    
5. Try to gain financial stability: One of the major goals and mile stones of any future building and becoming successful is to gain financial stability. Now by financial stability, I mean to have an emergency fund and also have a budget that will let you enjoy your life and fulfill your aspirations as well.
   
   To do this, try to follow below steps:
   a) Emergency Fund Account: Try to save some amount every month in this account. This can be as low as 1 cent and can be as huge as possible, but you will have to decide a practical number for yourself. See how much you can save every month in this account. This should be maintained every single month when you receive your salary and should never be touched. It should only be used in big financial emergencies and for nothing else.
   
   b) Travel Fund Account: This account is another very important bank account that you will have. This is because as we are working from different places, usually every single person leaves their home town and travel becomes one of the biggest expenses that anyone haves while going to home or for some marriage. Fight and Train tickets have become too expensive. Therefore, you should have a travel account where you every month save some money, so that when you have some travel plans, at that time you should not have empty pockets and even if the fund is not enough, still you will be able to at least get some self-discount.
   
   c) Get health insurance: This is one of the most important parts of financial stability because health issues come suddenly and are difficult to cope with. You should have a good health insurance. Check if your employer has insured you or get health insurance yourself because medical expenses have become too expensive for any normal human being on this planet. Although some countries help their citizens in difficult times for most of us, we will have to get a good cover because I have seen huge hospital expenses that cannot be borne by normal people on cash.
   
   d) Get term insurance: This is also one of the important aspects of building your future. This is because term insurance takes care of the people that you care about when you die. Therefore, having term insurance is a must. There was a case where a candidate had come for an interview and I got to know that his father died when he was 2 years old, and I asked how he completed his education, etc, and he told me that there was a term insurance that his dad had taken because of which he was able to complete his education and his mom also didn't have to work. If his dad would have taken the term insurance, then it would have become a trouble for them all. Therefore, it is always a good idea to get good-term insurance, especially if it also covers critical illness.
    
6. Reduce debt: This is again an important point to understand. When we don't have money at that time we need it the most and usually most of us go for credit cards or personal loans. This is wrong to do, and that is because debt is something that takes out money from your pocket in the longer term, and that too sometimes doubles the interest. Therefore, try to pay off any debt that you have to build yourself a secure and successful future.
   
   Although all the loans cannot be avoided, for example, loans taken for a car or to buy a house, those loans are not so bad because these are secure loans. But loans like personal loans and credit cards are really bad for your financial health and well-being.
    
7. Exercise & Make time for your family: Exercising daily and taking out time for your family and friends is one of the important things to do. This is because these two things help you strengthen your relations and also make you stress-free which has a positive impact on your overall health and well-being. Discuss your work hours and expectations with your boss so that you can set some boundaries to prevent work from leeching away at family time.
   
   Spend time with your spouse and children even if it means getting everyone together in the morning to exercise or stretch for some time before having breakfast and going to work. Taking family vacations is another way of creating some space for yourself and your family.
    
8. Take care of your mental health: When your mental health is good, you make good decisions about all aspects of your life, and this helps in you feeling better about your life which again helps in building a better future for yourself. Try regur sleep schedule and choose calming activities before bed. Steer away from alcohol and drugs and keep your mind sharp.

Conclusion;
Building you future and becoming successful is not easy to do but it is achievable and once you have followed all the above steps, you should be able to build a better future for yourself.
 

For several years I have been hearing from several religious preachers that God has created this universe, and he is the only one who knows everything about you.

I have read Religious Books that say that Humans are filled with bad habits like;

1. Hypocrisy
2. Arrogance
3. Conceit
4. Anger
5. Harshness, and Ignorance

And when we ask those religious preachers why did God created live? They are speechless.

I believe God is playing a simulation, in which he or she arrives, plays their part, becomes a hero and at last completes the game. This is what I think, but reality can be totally difficult.

What was the need to create life? Why can't this world be without life and why is it necessary for God to create anything at all?

First, he (God) creates this Universe, then creates life, and then gives his own guidelines, and then also places all the bad habits in humans or other organisms.

Everything is created by God, even our hormones and feelings or emotions. Still, God says in several different religious books that if we don't follow his teachings, then we will land in hell or we will have to take birth like some animal or other organism.

When God created humans and other organisms then he only introduced feelings, chemicals and hormones that make us what we are and he knows what bad we will do in future. Why can't he take us to correct part automatically. Why do we have to decide what is right or wrong?

I believe God is just playing with us as a Video Game. If he is real then he is just sitting next to a simulation and making sure that he always succeeds and this game ends and then it starts again and again.

If God is not real, in that case this Universe was made by an accident, and we should only pray to the energy that created us.

Then several people ask, why are there so many miracles if God is not real?
Well, for this I have a simple answer. We are the Universe.

Consider yourself as a small universe in itself which is made up of atoms, and molecules and we are trying to observe ourselves through different organisms and objects in this vast endlessness.

Having said that, we have to understand that there is randomness that is taking this universe and the universe inside us to somewhere in the future, but we will never know where it will actually take us because nothing is defined and everything is going to be defined in future for the first time. There is nothing like destiny and we have the free will to create our own destiny.

In that case, it also makes sense that if we are working hard and if we stay positive then we will find some way to complete tasks and reach to our target. But if God is real, in that case we should just pray to God and leave our domestic lives. This should help us in evolving our human civilization, which is not the case.

There are several religious preachers and some of them who have become famous also. They all need the technological advancements to stay connected with their followers. Some have become famous just because their videos have become viral on YouTube and other Social Media Platforms. They preach things that don't make any sense at all.

They say that we should be away from materialistic things, when in reality, people who are passionate about materialistic things are the ones who contribute to the development of this technology and even help in human evolution.

There are religious gurus that are using medical science to keep themselves alive because they didnt take care of their body in the first place. Then they say that, look God is taking care of my body and even with terminal illness I am sitting in front of you and preaching. There are doctors working behind the scenes to keep him alive, but he has more clarity and trust on the God that has provided him with these resources.

One should try to understand that God is something that provides a hope to someone that has lost everything, but he or she will have to work hard themselves to take themselves out of the misery that they are living in.

You will have to believe in yourself that you can do something to change your life. As the saying goes, "God Helps Those Who Help Themselves".

This is true, because there is some energy that helps someone who takes effort.

Right now there a religious preacher saying that birth is not in our control, but our life is in our control, or is it in real?

I don't think so. One has to understand that if God is real, then he is just playing with each and everyone of our lives. He doesn't has the rights or maybe he has because he can decide where we are going to born and when we will die. He may also have power to revive someone, in that case we have no choice but to keep living as per his terms and conditions and just live.

But if there is no God in this world, in that case we are just running behind a Ghost all around, and religious preachers are just motivational speakers that work to assure us that we are doing something wrong that has made our life a hell. They tell us to follow certain steps that can help us in making our lives great.

At the end I would also like to add that we cannot just ignore the fact that God is not there. This is because even though we may feel that God is not there, but miracles do happen and we don't know how. Maybe it is because of Gods.

One has to understand that this all is unreal and reality is not going to be same every single time.

You will have to live life like it is and listen to both the sides who say God is there and those who say that God is not real. Just understand whatever direction you take, just be a good human. Try to be kind to every organism on earth and adhere to your morals. If God is there, he will be happy with you, but if he is not there, then it doesn't even matters. You will be able to survive nicely because you won't fell into issues like the bad people do.

In both the cases, if you were kind to people and other organisms, you are going to be safe and will be going to heaven.
