The trust in the future is what enables bank and the entire economy to flourish. Before 18th century, credit system didn’t exist and hence, they economy was undervalued. The people back then didn’t have the trust in the future. They thought that the future can’t be better than the present.

But as the scientific and industrial revolution took place, the mindset changed. People started to trust in future, which gave rise to credit. Credit was then used to pay the workers and contractors, which increases the productivity. Increase in productivity increased profits. The increase in the profit built more trust in the future.

This trust in the future created credit, credit brought real economic growth; growth strengthened the trust in future and opened the way of even more credit. And the cycle continued.

In 1776, Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations, the most economic manifesto of all the time. In the eighth chapter of its volume, Smith made the following novel argument: When a landlord, a weaver, or a shoemaker has greater profits than he needs to maintain his own family, he uses the surplus to employ more assistance to further increase the profit. The more profit he has the more assistance he can employ, which follows increase in profit , wealth and prosperity.

Smith said that greed is good, and by becoming rich one can benefit everyone not just oneself. He said, “If I’m poor you will be poor too since I cannot buy any products or good from you. If I’m rich, you will be enriched too since you can now sell me something.”

This capitalism mindset is what is driving the economy of the world. The credit on the other hand is increasing the pace of economy.

It doesn't really matter what we expect from life, but rather what life expects from us. We need to stop thinking about the meaning of life , and instead think of ourselves as those who are questioned by life-daily and hourly and execute based on it.

These executions differ from person to person and from moment to moment. So, it's impossible to generalize any moment just like no man and no destiny can be compared with any other man and any other destiny. No situation repeats itself and each situation has different response and teaches us different lesson.

Every situation is distinguished by its uniqueness and there is always only one right answer to the problem caused by the certain situation. If we are destined to suffer, we will have to accept this suffering as our unique task. We will have to acknowledge that even in this suffering there is uniqueness and lessons to be learned and no one and nothing can relieve us from suffering.

Man is no more than a product of many conditional and environmental factor- whether it be biological, psychological or sociological  nature. We are the accidental product of all these.

Everyday, every hour we are offered with the opportunity to make a decision, a decision of our inner freedom. We always have a choice. It is my choice to decide to write today this morning.

We are the product of our sufferings. Creativeness and enjoyment are meaningful, of course. But if there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be a meaning in suffering as well. Sufferning is reas just as fate and death.

The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the sufferings it entails, it adds deeper meaning to his life.

“We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination that from reality.”

– Seneca

Reality can be painful, but imagination often multiplies that pain long before anything has actually happened. Much of what disturbs us is not the event itself, but the story the mind builds around it. We imagine rejection before it occurs, disaster before it arrives, and humiliation before it exists. In that way, the mind suffers in advance.

This is what makes imagination both powerful and dangerous. It allows us to create, anticipate, and prepare—but it also allows us to exaggerate, distort, and torment ourselves with possibilities that may never become real. A moment of uncertainty becomes a whole internal drama. A small problem becomes a catastrophe in thought. Fear grows not only from life, but from the meanings we rehearse around life.

The distinction matters: reality is what is happening; imagination is what the mind is adding. When the two are confused, suffering deepens. We begin reacting not to facts, but to projections. We defend ourselves against futures that do not yet exist. We carry emotional weight that reality has not actually placed on us.

This is why clarity begins with separation. What is truly happening right now? And what am I merely imagining about it? That question can restore proportion. Imagination is not the truth. It is a mental construction. Reality may still be difficult, but it is usually lighter than the story fear tells about it.

You are the designer of your life and you can shape it as you want. Don’t let the head filled with belief that other people can define you.

You seek no more approval from peers or others. You can be your own decider when you define yourself.

But defining yourself might be a difficult “journey” and you might’ve no clue where to start. The tip is start by analyzing your core values based on which you can define yourself.

Most often we celebrate our past success. We live in the fantasy of the things we achieved in the past. We think that our success is what defines us; it is what makes us grow.

Does celebrating our past success makes us grow? Does it help us in any way?

Yes, of course, it enhances our courage and confidences. But, it is not the success that defines us or makes us grow. Instead, it is our sufferings and pains that make us grow. It is our grit and and the ability to tackle the failures that defines us. How we deal with the problem is what defines us.

But here is the punchline: The celebration of our past successes and achievements de-emphasize our future.

We must navigate our future instead of spending time by celebrating the past deeds.

We see lots of people these days who decide before they try. Maybe because they don’t see any future there or maybe they think that is not going to work out for them.

But here is the thing, how did you know that the thing you’re dreaming of is not good without even trying? You didn’t know those skittles were the best without tasting it. You didn’t know you love to be thrilled unless you do some sorts of adventurous activities and you’ve no clue about those hot-dogs until and unless you try it.

The point here is trying things out is what gives us the direction. This is what that pumps us and make us move forward. Yes, of course we gonna have to deal with failure and rejections. And indeed failure sucks, rejection hurts but we can’t stop doing and trying things out because this is what that keeps us going.

Life is talent and work ethics, nothing less nothing more. And doing is what gives us the direction

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.

Happiness is what we all  are chasing for.
On the other hand, problem is what we all are running away from.

But the tragedy is happiness comes by solving problem. We all are chasing for a thing avoiding the source of it.

If we have some problem and we solve it, this is what makes us happy; avoiding it  leaves us with more problems unsolved. Happiness depends upon the number of problem solved.

Embrace the struggle should be our motto of living….

But the question is why’re we still avoiding problems even though it is making us more vulnerable?

Fear is one of the most common experiences in human life. Everyone fears something. Some fear the future and what it may bring. Some fear the past and the consequences of what has already happened. Others fear the present—the pressure, uncertainty, or difficulty directly in front of them. Fear takes many forms, but it touches all of us.

What makes fear powerful is not only the event itself, but the way the mind relates to it. We fear lost opportunities, wrong decisions, failure, rejection, insecurity, and the unknown. Sometimes we fear things we can influence, and other times we fear things completely outside our control. Left unexamined, fear grows in silence. It turns possibility into threat and uncertainty into paralysis.

But fear is not something to be denied or hidden from. The first step is to acknowledge it honestly. When we name what we fear, study its cause, and ask whether it belongs to reality or imagination, fear begins to lose some of its force. Much of its power comes from vagueness. Clarity weakens exaggeration.

To move through fear, we must accept that it is part of life while refusing to let it govern our choices. Fear may appear, but it does not have to decide our direction. When we examine it, understand it, and act in spite of it, we gradually build courage. And courage is not the absence of fear—it is the ability to move forward with awareness even while fear is present.
