The Muddled Mind

One of the biggest things we are dealing with in this ever-changing world is clarity. Clarity on what we want, what we wish, what we desire, and what we should fight for.  Why we are not clear on things? Do you think this is maybe because of the abundance of options? but is that really the reason why we are not clear? Or is it because there is one more option which is quitting.  My parents constantly tell me that in their whole life journey, they never had this option. They never had the luxury to give up on things. Because they always have to fight for even the smallest things. and us, the new generation 'think' we have time, we have resources and we have options.  This 'Always hustle' or 'Never settle' culture is going to bring doom to us very soon. We are never going to be happy or satisfied with where we are. And this is not about only when we are young but this attitude change is going to affect us, even more, when we get older and we have lesser options.  ...

Something in life is worth letting go of but you will only know that after you had experienced it before and we can predict the possible outcomes. Like - Arguing with parents or anyone on anything. Or arguments in general. You can't change anyone's opinion in one argument. FOMO. Trying to connect with the ‘friends’ who haven’t been there for you and you lost touch. Sad about getting a dream job but honestly not working for it. Prioritizing your career over EVERYTHING. Go to family functions because you mostly never have that option. Take up a job which you are not passionate about but good money. Seeing other people doing what you wanted to do but couldn’t. Expecting something from anyone just because you think you are closer to them. Something which is happening and we don’t have any power to change like aging, politics, natural calamities, etc. Other people’s opinions on you. It anyways shouldn’t affect you at any point in time. You are not supposed to compete with anyone for...

You don't need to make a big change in your life to achieve anything. It can be a smaller one too. A marginal change in your life can make a big change. And you are not so busy or so old to make little changes in your life. Want to be fit? Start running for 15 mins in a single day. Want to learn something new? Pick up that new thing for 15 mins and start learning. You want to wake up early. Put an alarm 15 mins before your usual time and don't put it on snooze. We don't value tiny changes as much as we should. You don't need to invest your thought process or big-time in thinking how to do that or how much effort and time it requires at the initial level only. Because that unnecessary thoughts only lead to procrastination and making every task a big one. Don't think just do it. If you think about something do it within 5 minutes of thinking it, if you will delay it more than that then it will become a job that will require effort. And as it is proven if you consisten...

Appreciation. It's very important that you appreciate things, apprecuate people in your life and most importantly appreciate yourselves for being you. This kind gesture shouldn't be taken lightly or on your ego. Some of the appreciations we have started taking lightly. Apart from mother, father, family, cousins, friends, partner there are still some people who needs your appreciation. A person who cleans your house,  appreciate them to help you. A person working under you , appreciate them for their small achievement. A person who takes time to talk to you or hear you, appreciate them for being there. A person who brings food package or any delivery for you especially in this pandemic, appreciate their efforts and tell them how grateful you are. A person in office with whom you can share and learn, who is having your back in the hardest time, appreciate them for being so kind. A person who used to know are doing something different in their life or fulfilling their dreams and y...
