BELIEVE it or Leave it.

Image
You are passionate about something, you have got a vision and you can see yourself being successful at it, that’s the exact unfortunate time when people hop in. Now they might not have the same vision or the same perspective. And most of the time they’ll be stubborn and try to not understand your perspective. Or they are not that open-minded enough to understand it. And trust me; such people don’t want to be wrong so they’ll try their best to talk you out of it. They bring in pessimism because if you notice they’ll mostly tell you all the drawbacks and the negative points if you choose to go down that path you envision. They question everything you have planned and then answer it themselves by considering the most “realistic view” of it and eventually get you all demotivated.   So when you have goals just keep them to yourself. Don’t go telling people and asking opinions because you know too many cooks spoil the broth . See, you know yourself better than anyone, so you don’t ...

Let's Make a Deal

Image
              If you want to get something or someone, you have to work for it, right? But what has got everyone wrong is that no matter what happens you just have to work hard through it. Suffer, do underpaying jobs, work multiple shifts, exhaust yourself, wake up at 4 am and what not!           Just because you are suffering doesn’t mean you are going to be successful. And you don’t have to work at an underpaying job, know your worth and stand firm by it. You can wake up at 7am or 9am and still have a healthy routine. And if it is about a person, chasing is definitely something you should avoid. Being too nice, saying a few lies, or chasing them to choose you, isn’t going to work. You have to know that not every time is a time for chasing. Sometimes, in fact, these days most of the time, it’s just a trade. Be it business, be it a job or relations, it’s always a trade.  You have something...

THE FINISHING LINE

Image
     Life is like a puzzle and everyone’s got a different one. Some get a maze; some get a jigsaw; while a few others get a crossword. And you have to understand that they are different puzzles and they need to be solved in their own different and unique way.        Sometimes it just happens to be that most of us don’t know what puzzle we have got, but we have to try using different methods of solving a puzzle to understand the type of puzzle we have got ourselves. Some figure it out quickly and while others might need multiple attempts to know what their puzzle is actually like. And unless you know the type of your puzzle you can’t get the solution. So to know your puzzle, to get clarity, and to understand what you are made for, you have to keep trying new things and exploring different fields until you find what suits you. If you are afraid of trying new things or if you get too comfortable procrastinating, you’ll end up in a state where it’ll ...

99 PROBLEMS

Image
Let’s say you got an XYZ problem. Do you know the solution? Yes? Well and good. Write it down and work on it. Problem solved. It’s easy as that. Now let’s say you have an (XYZ) 2 problem and you got no solution and with time the frustration is just growing. And it keeps on growing if you keep it that way. So what to do in such situations? It’s easy. (Everything is easy, people complicate it.) All you have to do is first clear your mind (meditate for a few minutes or any other thing that’ll help you.) Next, get a piece of paper and brainstorm; on the solution & not the problem. There’s a very thin line in between, so stay alert. Now, the solution could be good, bad, worse, very bad or very good. It doesn’t matter, put everything down on paper. Once you are done with your 15-30 mins of brainstorming, STOP . You have to stop or your brainstorming could end up into a pessimistic complaining session real quick. You are almost there. The hard part is over. Now you have a bunch of sol...

COPY, EDIT & PASTE

Image
LIFE IS BASED ON THESE THREE PRINCIPLES: COPY, EDIT AND PASTE. If you are going to create something different or create something new then this is not for you. COPYING Humans have the tendency to copy things. That’s why we have trends and terms like the ‘bandwagon effect.’ We see people eating a particular food and we feel like trying it too. How do gyms work? People see others working out, getting in shape and they get influenced, they get motivated and then, they COPY THEM. Everything that you are doing today has been done before. You, I, and everyone else are just copying. What you are learning right now has already been studied. The job you are at right now, somebody else had it, and after you, there’s someone else who’s going to have it. The things that you are doing today: a ton of other people have done it, are doing it or will be doing it. Who are you? A doctor, an engineer, a lawyer, a teacher, whoever you are, there are millions of others like you. So, find people...

ARE YOU A HYPOCRITE?

Image
  Ever been in a situation where you were confident about something and then it turned out that you were wrong?   So, how did you react to it? You could obviously debate about the topic, that’s completely fine but, what if you were completely proven wrong?   Well, this is a crucial point, because now, how you react about it tells a lot about you.   If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes, you’d know that it’s all about the details; the minute things.   Life is not about changing just one thing and boom; you turn into an alpha. No. It doesn’t work like that. The minute details tell a lot about you, your character and your personality. Source: i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b273d68fb9d84144ffb45dd3e513 When you change your opinion and accept that your prior opinion was wrong, that’s called acceptance . And I feel that accepting you were wrong is difficult but, very necessary for growth. On the contrary, if you secretly change your opinion and/or refuse to accept that y...

THE CHOICE

Image
    Happiness is a choice. It’s a m entality; it’s an attitude. Can money bring happiness? Can success bring happiness? Can good things happening to you, bring, happiness? NO! They can’t bring happiness but, they can maximize it. If you have a pessimistic and sadistic attitude then nothing mentioned above is going to make you happy.   See, happiness is a perspective in life. If you have an optimistic approach to everything happening around you, it’s easy for you to be happy, in probably any situation.    Your positive energy or positive attitude is like, a small campfire burning. And success and money is fuel. You very well know what happens when you add fuel to fire. Definitely, you’ll be happier! But, if you don’t have that fire burning, guess what’s going to happen with the fuel? It’s going to be poured and poured and poured and WASTED. So when they say money can’t buy happiness, this is what they mean.
