I don’t fear whether you like me or not. I don’t care whether you approve me or not. The only thing I am concerned about is whether I am true to myself or not. Everyday, I wake up to align my life a little closer to what I believe in. I may not achieve much on the basis of what the world benchmarks me. But that is not I am bothered about. I want to raise my own standards. I want to live my life on my own principals. Yes, I run the risk of being alone in the journey. But if that be the case, I will walk alone.
Nothing escapes his eyes. Still, he lives as if he didn’t see it. If he doesn’t like it, it doesn’t mean the world should stop doing things. He has learnt to give space to people around him. He lives on his philosophy. He has his own definitions. Yet, he knows real freedom comes from giving others their own freedom. From the time he realized this, he found his independence.
Insecurity surfaces only when you think about yourself. Fulfilment surrounds you when your objective is to make a difference in other people’s life. You have to do it to feel it. Insecurity breeds on tomorrows. You feel complete when you live every day. When you spread joy you feel joy. When you envy the world, you feel insecure. Tomorrows will always surprise you. Todays should always excite you. Don’t worry too much. Believe in yourself. If you have come this far, you will go a long way ahead.
An act of courage is not always about fighting, winning or overpowering. Sometimes, it hides behind love, emotions, sensitiveness and relationships. For example, ‘letting go’ is one of the most courageous thing to do. Trying to save a relationship by keeping silence though you are not at fault also takes a lot of courage. Letting someone win because you didn’t want him to lose is an exceptional display of courage. Sometimes, when you show such forms of courage, it may be taken as weakness by others. Yet, the real winners are those who take the side of what is right. The real hero’s are those who kill their ego to bring a smile on someone’s face not worrying about what the cowards think.
I feel different at different times. This results in contradiction of my own thoughts. I wonder if this is right. I used to think that I must always stay with what I said yesterday. This used to create stress every once in a while. Life is progressive. Thoughts also must be progressive. There is nothing right or wrong. In fact, new thinking allows me to explore differently. I love thinking. I love observing. I love exploring. If this results in contradicting some of my earlier thoughts, so be it. I am not a slave to thoughts. Actually, thinking gives me freedom. The more I think, the more I discover. I evolve each day. I realize how stupid I was yesterday with some of my convictions. But that’s alright. That’s how I grow. That’s how I learn. I know, with each contradiction, I am getting close to form new paradigms. I am getting more independence.
There are certain truths in life which are difficult for us to speak and share with the world. Not only that, many times we defy our own self as the truth may interfere and contradict our feelings and perspectives. This situation creates a constant conflict in our lives. We try to resist but the truth refuses to concede. If we align with the truth, it restricts our freedom. If we accept the truth, the conflict continues.
You can do two things with fear. Let it overpower you or you can destroy it by its root and you will land in the world of opportunities. You know you can do it. Now, think about this; every day you wake up with a thought to change the world, to showcase your talent, but may be, the fear of failing pulls you down. That’s what fear does. Don’t let it succeed. Kill the fear. Starting is half the job done. The beginning is like winning. Show courage. Fear feeds on procrastination and inability to take action. Don’t delay. Break the shackles of fear. Take the leap of faith…today !!
The hunger to create wealth can be the biggest obstacle to achieve passionate goals in life.

However, our culture, social norms, peer pressure and the insecurity of future kills our deepest desires. If what you do, are in alignment to your heart, you are one of those lucky individuals who have crossed the barrier of worlds expectation and reached the vastness of self realisation and satisfaction.
Harness what you are good at. Compound it by doing it over and over again. It will give you amazing results. Don’t spend your entire life doing something you don’t like just because you get paid for it. Your life is a limited period offer. Use it before it expires. Align your life with things that give you happiness, not with activities which the world thinks are the norms.
The game is on. To out do the other person in terms of bragging. To claim more than what we are and to pretend what we are not. We do this so that the other person doesn’t underestimate us. So that we can create an impression of a bigger achievement. We make an illusion for the other person through which he is unable to see the real picture. We do this to gain respect, to look for sympathy, to get more business. We overdo so much that after a while it becomes difficult for us even to recognise the real self. And the game goes on..
