Insights I Believe In

 It has been long time since I last visited this creative side (site rather) of mine . Things are so different from when I started this blog as a curious and novice eight grader. Times have changed and so have I. In this journey I get to decide what to carry with me .Today's article is just a compilation of some thoughts and beliefs which keeps me motivated through this journey and advice I would want to carry with time.

I feel lost at times...Am I on the right track?What if this doesn't work? What happens next?

 Truth is that nobody knows what is going to happen , maybe a war, natural disaster, asteroid attack or even a robot invasion with how fast and vague things are moving ahead .Everyday is a surprise with new events unfolding. The world is going through constant mind boggling dynamics where in everyday is another day closer to uncertainty .

Hence worrying won't solve any of your problems. Despite being a speck of dust in this universe , we worry as if it is a do or die situation. It's not ! We get to choose who we are , We decide what type of dust we want to be in this universe. And just to let you know this whole system is constantly moving, things which are not anticipated occur and either you gain or lose. It's the fear which kills that fire within us . What if i lose? Well you have nothing to lose. Thinking about the result won't lead you to your destination it is the lesson on how to go about it which really counts. You just need to initiate it , It may be hard but that's because its new ! You need to learn to settle in this storm ,that is what is going to fuel that big pursuit in life. 

 I genuinely believe that anything instant in life is not healthy in the long run ; be it food or success. If it's instant it is just a popcorn kernel , it will pop anytime soon. So please don't follow trends which are popular or booming suddenly, you will never realise when it will diminish with time. Trust data and background , study the journey and then make a judgement about anything in life.

 

Self introspection is very much needed in life .It is important to learn to identify our true selves and motives . And this realisation need not be something big , rather small incidents which may carry a message waiting to be discovered.

Here is the most recent example that I can share .I recently broke my spectacle's frame so i went to buy a new frame. When I wore it for the first time it felt as if this was the best pick. But after wearing it the second time i noticed that my vision seemed a bit out of focus. I was scared that the frame didn't really work well with my lens. I feared I made a wrong decision.

But two days after this incident everything was fine . My eyes got adjusted and there was nothing wrong with the frame. That is when I realised how quickly we declare whether a decision is 'right' or 'wrong'. This blurred vision is part of the process and so is it with the "I don't know " phase of life which is really important to bring the clarity in life. And the give away from this incident is to trust the process . Its simple : when you don't know what is happening you go with the flow. Eventually this flow leads us to places. 

Be it in terms of education, career , big opportunities, we need to start-trust-learn-pivot!

Lastly, it is important to know what is going wrong but it is equally important to find ways to make it right. Here is another small incident.

I watched a lot of videos on YouTube about how degrees are useless and people don't get a job. It felt disappointing and I thought about this . The best solution I have right now is to be the best at what i do .  The thing is that degree provides you knowledge but what we do with it is important .The secret to make you the best is also simple but tiring if you don't like the subject . In the current times,'Practice makes one perfect 'can be translated to 'when knowledge is revisited and fine tuned it becomes a skill,and this skill is going to give you that job' . Skills is basically the important give away from your degree that makes you stand out from the millions of other applicants . 

All I want to say is that there is so much we can learn from our own lives which is waiting to be unravelled. We have so much power within ourselves which goes unnoticed. Let us start acknowledging these small things in life which will create the difference we all want to see within ourselves.

We are the winds of change who are soon going to lead this world.I want people to be leaders of their own future .There is so much to things and what takes us ahead is not worrying about whether it is right or wrong  rather setting sail with what feels right, rest will follow , adjust and take form. It's going to be chaotic and loud , but it's important to make our own quiet space amidst the buzz. Experiment with all the options because the fact remains unchanged , we need to find our purpose in this lifetime itself.

Let's make choices which make us happier and better humans ! It's a race against time , but the winner is not known yet , so let's enjoy our present and bring in things which keep the fire within us ignited !

Enjoy the process.

Emerge stronger.
