Don't sell yourself short (IM 413)

Thoughts are so intense that it might make you or break you. Big dreams die before it is born and executed by the thinking process. On the other hand, it is also lived by the faith on the obsessive thoughts.

We think ourselves so small by looking at the present conditions. We sell ourselves too short looking at the struggles we are facing today.

What is it that makes you small and weak? What is it that makes you quit your dream job? What is it that makes your heart shrink? What is it that makes you unhappy?

The answer to all these important questions is so simple yet tragic and powerful. Its YOU. It is your thoughts about yourself. Its your lack of self-esteem. Somebody said it so beautifully- To win a war you must win many many battles. But, in this battle of living the wildest dream, living the life of passion, the greatest enemy is not your enemy but yourself who always holds you back.

Selling oneself short is the worst possible thing that one can do for themselves.

Don’t sell yourself short, whatever you have accomplished till this date is just the shadow of what you truly can. You are always more than you think you are.

It’s a time to reverse-engineer (IM 412)

Do you really need to do the things you’re doing? How much of what you are doing now will take you a step closer towards your goals? Are they really important?

If not it’s a time to take a deep breathe and stop and observe….

It’s a time to step back and look at yourself and accept all the things you’ve done already. Things may look different, your past actions may seem scary but its okay. How can you move forward without accepting those scary things and worst version of yourself? How can you expect for the bright light by ignoring your dark side?

How can you make a right decisions without appreciating what you already have?

So,it’s a time to reverse-engineer….

An empty container makes a lot of noise (IM 411)

There is a beautiful quote by Plato which goes - "A wise man speaks because he has something to say, but a fool speaks because he want to say something." This is so relatable.

This is same as saying an empty container makes a lot of noise. Those who have knowledge don't speak too much they just listen. A person without any knowledge just speak for the sake of speaking.

A container full of water does not make a lot of noise.

BEING OVERWHELMED IS THE PART OF THE JOURNEY (410)

There is no proper definition for life. It is just like the chess game. Just like there is no perfect move in chess, there is no perfect definition for life. It depends on context, it depends on circumstances and situations.

Life is not always linear or peaceful and in the way you wish it to be.  It can be scary and overwhelming.

But…. if you’re not overwhelmed, it means you’re not growing. Being overwhelmed is the part of the journey. It is the way you progress.

Each day is vital(409)

Our lives are the sum of our each day just as human body is the sum of the cells. If our each day is beautiful, blissful, we will have a wonderful life.

Many people keep their daily records in their journal. Some people share their ideas as a blog. Each day becomes purposeful and meaningful and this can change the outlook of the life. But the important thing is we should spend each day by performing the things we love to do.

At the end of the each day, we’ve to be satisfied and proud of the things we did that day and also envision the better or fantastic tomorrow, which then manifests itself.

Living a wonderful life starts by living each day to the fullest and living in the present.

OUR PROBLEMS ARE LESSENING (408)

Everyday we are growing and the problems we face are decreasing. The problems we face a day earlier enhance our skills, knowledge and abilities and make us able to tackle other problem of same kind. We stop telling those things as a problem instead we call them a foundation for our next win.

But the thing about human is they are skeptics and its normal because after all that is the human nature. Being skeptics help us to better understand situations and circumstances. We don’t learn if we aren’t skeptic. This is the way we progress.

We devise different technology for the problem we face today hoping that the same situation would not obstruct us in our way to next move. This is how the problem we face are declining. And this is a good news.

A self-fulfilling prophecy (IM 407)

When we act as though we like someone we start to really like them. An Adelphi University called this study as, “Believing Another Likes or Dislikes You: Behaviors making the belief come true” proved it.  Researchers told that the volunteers ended up liking the unrelated subject they volunteered on.

It is analogy with respect begets respects, love begets love and like begets like….

As Wayne Dyer said,’ When we change the way we look at the things, the things we look at change.”

Transforming characters (IM 406)

To succeed, more than ability, we should have character; a self-loving, self-believing character.

We learn about the best way to make money because we feel that we don’t have enough money already, we stand in front of the mirror and start affirming how happy we are because we don’t feel we are happy already. We follow dating and relationship advice because we don’t feel we are lovable already. Hence, we should start by accepting what we are.

After all, we should understand the hard reality of life that everything worthwhile in life is won through surmounting negative experiences….

What frightens us the most? (IM 405)

We waste our time proving somebody else over and over how great we are, when we can experience and learn a lot.

Becoming is better than being…

What ever we are today is not our maximum potential; it is just the shadow of what we can truly achieve. If we think we have ability, we should always be open to learn more because growing is always about stretching ourselves to learn something new- it is about developing ourselves.

It is not the darkness that frightens us the most but it is our lightness because we think that our lightness is the limit but it’s not, we can still win a lot more than what we had recently won.

The greatest force (IM 404)

Most people say that the greatest force of world is human's mind and wisdom. Some argue by saying the physical strength and mental toughness is what drives human forward. But both of these arguments are wrong.

If it was true how did Homo sapiens became dominant over Neanderthal man. even though the Neanderthal man were more stronger and have more cranial capacity than us, sapiens.

The greatest force in the world is human emotions. It's the most important ingredient of human evolution. It is because of the human's ability to create fiction that triggers human emotions that has made us dominant.

We buy products that create emotions. The world functions with emotions. If we want to become successful, we must master our emotions.
