Self Doubt

singhpiyush60892 Comments

What could you do less of?

When you are good at something but don’t feel confident enough to do it, you block your own progress. You become a ghost to yourself, forever haunted by your own doubts.

As an adult, when you face self-doubt and struggle to break free from it, it’s often because of the many failures you’ve experienced throughout your life. It becomes difficult to erase that negative code from your system.

But carrying on is the only solution. The more you push yourself, the more you reduce self-doubt. The first step is always the hardest, and people’s judgment is only a stepping stone. Life is all about this—losing, learning, and trying again. And if you lose again, you simply repeat the cycle until your last breath.

That’s how life should be.

Calmness

Calmness is not a weakness but a  superpower to stay strong in the toughest of conditions. It makes you think clearly amidst a cacophony of noises and react in the most effective way.

Calmness gives you strength in the moments of disaster and grief. It gives you control over your heart and mind ,and prevents you from reacting in an erratic manner.

So cultivate this habit of pausing before reacting and detaching yourself from all the disturbing noises of the world.

My adventure suit

What are your two favorite things to wear?

I love to hike and trek in the mountains. Whenever I am in the wilderness of the Himalayas with my favourite trekking shoes on ,I feel I am in a fictional world full of excitement.

I really love my High ankle, waterproof trekking shoes and my trek pants with 4 chain pockets. I keep my pocket friendly gopro cams and sometimes my gloves in those pockets. It really gives me the feeling of a warrior on a mission.

When I am not hiking , just the glimpse of my shoes and trek pants give me a hell lot of positivity, as if I am transported in the shelter of nature, looking at the broader picture of life.

There are certain things in life which give us true happiness, not because we use them but because we experience something greater because of them.

Are you Alive

So many things go unnoticed as you age. You hardly feel your life until something interesting happens. But between those events life flows and you hardly notice it.

Time seems to run quickly and you continuously try to take control of it but time bluffs you and takes control of you. You become a part of the daily rush , follow rules and habits , and hardly feel your life in that chaos.

Happiness seeps in , boredom fills in , sorrows follow and only the toughest ones stay stable. Yes,  these feelings remind you that you are alive but how to fill  happiness in most of your moments is a continuous struggle. Because that is something humans mostly crave.

Humans are by nature curious animals . From the beginning of evolution they tried to explore the unknown. That adventure made them most alive. The power of adrenaline makes them stay in the present moment. In  that moment Every cell becomes active and continuously remind them of life.

And the sense of achievement after that exploration either desired or not give them wisdom , an inspiration to continue.

That’s why taking a break from your daily job is very important. Travel ,any sports, or anything that keeps your adrenaline flowing beyond your comfort zone is important. Lucky are those whose daily job involves all these things or experiences.

Well that’s enough of the wisdom I shared today. I am not an expert in this field ,I share my thoughts and try to keep up with the name of the blog.

Thank you all readers for your patience.

Life is an Adventure

singhpiyush60896 Comments

There is nothing static in life. Everything changes with the blink of an eye. At one moment, you are celebrating and the other, you are mourning.


There is so much to be anxious about and so much to be happy for. But what matters most is how we go smoothly in our lives. Our attitude towards our lives.


Our calmness in times of distress, our balance in times of happiness, decide how long we can go and fulfil our purpose in lives .


Life is an adventure and you have a part to play , you have to fight in difficult times just like you enjoy your good times. There is no running away from this adventure, only forward is the way..


Keep Going

Sometimes It’s good to Give Up

Throughout our lives we cling onto something, waiting for that thing to give us happiness, success, or something pleasant in return.


But what we get in return? Nothing, disappointment, sadness. Maybe expectations drive us, it pushes us towards our goals, we try hard to achieve that, but in spite of so many efforts we are left with nothing.


Then comes a point of disappointment, grief, frustration because we are still attached with that goal or expectation . This is where we are harming our selves, losing the essence of our lives, we lose our happiness.

This is where we have to give up on those hopes and seek contentment.
The biggest thing in life is to understand the right time to give up on something. When it’s really needed to find our true purpose, to find true meaning of life.

Persevering , until we get exhausted and finally find contentment in our efforts.
Relationships , goals , success, money all stay here when we finally say goodbye. So why so much fuss for the attachments we live with. Give up on all those things that disturbs our stay here in this life.


Maybe this is a new beginning for that….

The Sacrifice of Stars

singhpiyush60898 Comments

There is no meaning of cosmos if there is no life.


In the beginning there was only darkness in the universe and then the first generation of stars were born. They died creating first seeds of life, the elements that created us.


Our Star, Sun belongs to the later generation of stars. It made us , it created an Eden for us in the form of Earth so that we can thrive but look what we are doing now.


We don’t own this world and our greed for power has made us blind. The sacrifice of our Gods (stars) mean nothing to us and gratefulness has lost its worth.


Are we going to create order in this universe or just become another chaos of this already chaotic universe?


Is the meaning of the cosmos, the life which it created through so much of pain, would fade away in vain just like the last blip of a star?


No, this is not the way it should be. It took thousands of years for a complex machine like us to emerge out of oblivion. There is a purpose for humans for whom this universe waited for so long.


We have to realise that purpose, a greater cause to fulfil our role in the great scheme of the universe. Humans have a responsibility, some of us would go wrong , would choose the wrong path but then it would be the responsibility of others to correct them.


We gave birth to love, we created empathy, we know the power of compassion, the ingredients of order in this world. The world needs it right now, the universe expect it from us.


Let us try then….

Flickering Dreams

singhpiyush608926 Comments

Your dream may look bleak,
It may burn with hopelessness
But those embers will not die,
It has a purpose to fulfill.

All those fears in the depth
Dig them out with your Will
Start again from the dust,
Become a blizzard in the dark

Your dreams are not alone,
Let them find others , unite
And roar like a raging river
Shattering obstacles of the path !

Never stop believing,
Like a flickering candle light
Fighting the mighty dark and
Shimmers with a melting heart !

Stillness of Now

singhpiyush608910 Comments

Mind dictates false self ,
Infuse sufferings of past.
You are not your mind

Trapped in past-future,
Life blooms in stillness of Now,
A journey within



Mind is programmed to make a mental image of everything as per it’s needs. It needs time especially past and future to dwell , in fact to avoid everything which exists Now (present) it has created illusion of past and future.


We can feel this in our daily lives , we either curse our past or crave for a better future when we allow our mind to dominate. This is how our mind creates a false image of ourselves and everything around.


We are not what our mind says. Our true identity lies beyond our mind, it lies deep within in our consciousness,in the stillness which exists only in the present moment.


So without thinking too much , just feel life the way it is, in this moment, in the stillness of Now. You will find your true self.

Craving

singhpiyush608933 Comments

Beyond the mountains of grief,
There’s an ocean of Ecstasy.
Beyond the rubbles of my failed endeavours,
My soul craves for that vibrant Felicity!

Maybe there’s an ocean of blue,
With whom I can relate to!
Maybe in those depths of afflictions
I can find my divine benediction!

Let me struggle
In these swamps of disaster.
Let me find my way
Against these Howling gales.

Till then wait for me
If you are already through.
Till then breath in the valley
And enjoy the view!
