EXPECTATIONS (Freedom Vs Fear…)

Image
  EXPECTATIONS (Freedom Vs Fear…) Have you ever considered what kind of freedom we crave for? We believe we’re free.. yet hand on heart, we always knew the truth that lies inside us. The truth which is stopping us from experiencing the best because we have the tendency to live in the fear. Are we really free from our thoughts, from the expectations of others? or rather pretend to be free. A man who suffers before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary. — Seneca Just be yourself they say, but which part?? The patterns that have come to define me? the well-versed society version? or the larger part that’s neither here, not there, but everywhere? What’s holding us is the expectations of others. It’s obvious to expect things from someone but at what extent those expectations start to hurt? — Either too much of it or not expecting anything at all. Latter one wins, I guess. Usually, these expectations causes two kinds of burden: Firstly, when we’re expecting someone else to fulf...

It’s all in your head..

Start Acting like a 1480. There’s a story that stays still with me: There was a guy who was failing out of high school but he promised his mother he would take a test called "The SAT".  Well this guy takes it, he’s bombing, he’s failing out of school, he doesn’t expect anything. Well he gets a 1480 out of 1600.  He gets the score, and his mother says: "Did you cheat?"  And he said: " I swear to god I tried to cheat but the way the numbers were and the scantrons and the bubble you couldn’t cheat.  Because he realizes he’s smart and he’s going into his senior year he says: "I’m gonna go to class"  Now he starts to go to class, he doesn’t hang out with who he did when he didn’t go to class.  He graduates, goes to a community college and becomes this massively successful magazine entrepreneur.  Well the guy was always smart, he just needed a standardized test to unlock it?  My dad said : "No.. That’s not the story. This is what I want you to understa...

Own Your Shit Before It Owns You!

  Own Your Shit Before It Owns You! Waking up, repeating the same process again. Living in a constant despair. Fearing the change. Living with your shit is hard. But you know what's the hardest part? Accepting as it is. We do not accept the things we don't want in life, be it with the dress you wear, the food you eat, the movie you watch, the place you travel, we want the things in our own way. But when it comes to our shit (our life) we start accepting things life offers us. It's great to catch the opportunities we're offered with but why don't we live it the way we want. Ask yourself these questions: Why we listen to others advice, when it's our life? Why we make sacrifices with our goals and not fight for it? Why we compromise with the life we always wanted? Basically there are two main reasons: First is, we have to pay a much higher price for the things or you can say "leaving the comfort zone" And the second is, We think we don't deserve it. B...

Life in 20’s

Life in 20’s How many times did you look back and was proud of your younger self atleast once? Look at your younger self and compare it with your present self.  A decade back, when I was almost failing, if someone had come up to me and said. Hey - I am from the future. And I have some exciting news for you. In next 10 years, your fears will be your greatest strength. You would have achieve your biggest dream.  You will be loved and respected by a lot of people.  A lot of people will be inspired from you. ​ I would have told the person to get a CT Scan and get their brain checked! :))  How easy things would be if we believe that future person…  A lot of us would be going through something similar in our lives.  A new company, a new city, a new career, a new relationship, a new experience.  And it may not always turn out to be what you wanted it to be.  But that’s not the end.  There is never any end, until the day we all die.  Up until t...
