ARE YOU A HYPOCRITE?

 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.

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 you had a different opinion before, that’s called hypocrisy. And I would suggest you not be a hypocrite as it leads you to be a non-confident, self-absorbed and dishonest/non-trustworthy person. So if a hypocrite tells you that he is alpha then, it’s nothing but a funny example of Paradox.

                So, basically, a hypocrite is a liar. And lying makes you lose your integrity and lowers your confidence.  You might say that there are confident liars, what about them? Well, they seem confident but their confidence is shallow. They’re just lying and running from reality. And someday when the time comes to face the truth (oh it comes faster than you think. You can’t run away from the reality), you’ll see their “confidence.”  If you want to be an alpha you need to have integrity and confidence, for that you need these two words on your side: TRUTH and ACCEPTANCE.

                The bottom line is that if you want to be good at something, you will have to be bad at it first. You will go wrong; you will make plenty of mistakes; but unless and until you ACCEPT them, you won’t know where you went wrong and you won’t know what to change.

COPY, EDIT & PASTE

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...

BELIEVE it or Leave it.

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 ...

Ever felt like you don’t fit in? And other people just advice you to blend and try to fit in, well don’t take that advice. See, when you feel like you don’t fit in a particular surrounding then you are getting closer to knowing yourself and if you just accept that advice and blend, you’ll probably lose the only chance you had to discover yourself. If you don’t fit, stay alone because it’s better to feel lonely when alone rather than being among people and feeling the same. There’s a quote I follow which says, “ UNKNOWINGLY you become like people you surround yourselves with.” So if you don’t feel like people around you can help you grow then leave! Remember, a smart person living with idiots is only as powerful as the idiots but an idiot living with smart people is as powerful as them. After all, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to look great for some weeks around people who are below you and eventually with time let them drag you to their level or you choose to be the p...
