Life Lesson #153

Time. It has abilities to move mountains. Literally. You know about the Tectonic Motion, right?

And it also has the ability to make things happen. Life isn't so complicated after all. It keeps evolving, day by day. Your thoughts change, your beliefs become stronger and life goes on. Every day, we learn a little more about us. The bad. The good. The worst. The best.



There are a few realizations I have come across:

1. We MUST be Strong enough to face our fears. It is the only thing that holds us back - even mentally. Heard this before? The Old Gyaan? Facing fears is all about doing the thing you think you cannot do. It could range from some situational changes to starting up studies to learning artistry. Whatever it is that you have given up on because you are too afraid. Why hold back? You have a world in front of you. Whatever happens, will also run its own timeline and bring you towards light. Believe in that. Believe that whatever you do, you will be okay in the end. Risk it.

2. It is alright Not to be Perfect. Some people always aim that, but the road is never ending. It will always bring unhappiness. Yes, we can try to be better and we should, but we must not beat ourselves striving to be someone we cannot be. The Goal should remain to be "Yourself" - your very own abnormal and weird version. Even if people around you except you to "Walk like a Model" or "Cook like a Chef" or "Dress Like a Fashionista" or "Speak English with an Accent". You have your own goals pal. Abide by them. Not try to be according to what others say. Improve the personality and develop the thoughts which you want to. Which you think You need. Which you know you should improve.

3. Listen. Connect with People. The biggest lessons we learn are from people we meet in our day to day lives. Observe the qualities, abstain from the negative. Figure out why someone is the way that they are. I don't believe in being judgmental. This world will be so much better if we try to understand each other rather than putting them down, or using their weaknesses against them.

4. Sense of Humor. The ability to joke about "ourselves". Not others. These laughs only get us out of the gutter. We are introverts or ambiverts -- but we can always try not to keep people at such a distance that we cannot even reach them when needed.  Make good friends. Have a hearty laugh.

5. Refer to 2nd. Be your own version. Follow your own principles. Who Am I to give all the Gyaan, eh?

    Someone wise once wrote, and I quote,"tell your heart that it is the fear of failure that is worst than failure itself and no heart has ever suffered when in pursuit of its dreams."

That Overused Term.

Ever think of love? What are the chances that a person could fall in love madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times? Or maybe only once? They say those who do not seek it, those who do not fight for it, might not even find it. They may spend their entire lives, either hung over someone who they loved and lost, or settle for someone they do not even love. Under societal pressures or because of their own loneliness? But people have felt that emotion throughout history. Some find it in separation, which is also known to be the strongest of all the loves that exist. The dire need to look at someone and feel alive. The missing that is so powerful that it overtakes your mind and body. In the times of quarantine, the strings of your own heart can very well be understood. It is all peaceful out and there is a certain deafening silence. It could make you hear your soul, for you have nowhere to escape. Immerse yourself in books and movies as much as you want, but

You can't pass off as 18 anymore, can you?

Woh! I had one hefty weekend with my friend, who I was able to enjoy with after almost three years! Yeah, we met in between the years but it was either for only a few hours or something was upsetting about our life. Well, but this time around we had immense fun. We went out partying, and the next day to the campus where we spent all our time together few years ago, and realized how far we have come. We are two changed individuals, knowing how to carry ourselves in a better way than what we did in college. We can't pass of as 18 anymore, where we had a billion insecurities about ourselves and no clue where our life will go. We never thought much about ourselves and now we have a self-esteem which can't go wrong. Then. (2011) Now. (2017) Do we really look any different? Yet we are! The tattoo talks, the hair color talks and the talks about getting another piercing were not what we talked about "all the time".I was just checking out an article regarding t

Cognitive Distortions

I don't know what to write anymore. To portray the good that exists out there. Or to reveal the darkness hidden underneath. To fire up because of the madness I've felt, Or to dance along the beautiful rhymes, To glee about the fact that the ray of light is visible, Or to be upset that I had to walk through the dark. To believe the praise that I hear, Or to listen to the giggle about me, If I have to go by the harshest of the words said, Or to run by the sweetest smiles exchanged. What to believe I ask- myself. Often in the nights that don't seem to end. To believe that people care about each other, Or to stay certain that they never understand. Who is to be believed? Someone who says that I carry a bright light, Or someone who agonized me to lose self-respect. Should I trust people who believe in my potential Or those who made me believe I am nothing. Burst in the flames that some have sparked in me, Or walk on the calm roads holding hands of the
