We all have our superstitions about the first day of the year and the most famous of them is that we end up doing the same things again and again throughout the year which we do on the first day.
So it is mandatory for me to write today . I hardly posted last year and I don’t think my superstitions work. Anyways, the beginning of the year always lifts up the spirit and it’s better to write now. A few more minutes passes and this post will also end up in the draft.
Lately, if you are reading my blog these days, you will know I have started opening up about my imperfections. I become anxious pretty quickly and every now and then I get a reason to procrastinate.
I know if you overthink,you will end up doing nothing. I know you should do things just for the sake of doing them without thinking much. Well 30s is a kind of age when you know you aren’t doing right(or probably doing nothing) but still you don’t change your course. It is like you have become a robot who refuses to budge outside his code. Maybe that’s a midlife crisis or maybe something else.
Resolutions to improve
Anyways, one more year to look forward to. I will try to improve and will not set up big goals (as they make me anxious). Small goals will do. Some of them could be
Exercise more
Read more
Write and blog more
Think less
Travel more
Apart from this , I will try to fight my biggest enemy- procrastination ( who is already cursing me for writing this post)
Thank you for reading, I hope you are not bored. I will try to improve my writing too….
When nothing in life makes sense, when you feel lost in the polluted urban jungle which you call home, then you have to go back to your roots, the wilderness from where your species evolved. That place, those mountains from where you truly belong. After another difficult year , I decided to go for another […]
Creativity is something which comes from an unconventional Mindset. From the beginning our minds are coded with rules , regulations and customs of the society.
If we learn a skill , we are hard wired to do it in a specific way. Therefore it’s difficult to innovate but those who dare to do so , more often than not become a sensation and people follow that afterwards. These people are highly creative but sometimes in order to become more creative people spoil the basic part.
So , creativity is quite difficult to follow. And for me too it came with difficulty. Whether in music or in sports I wasn’t able to do much because I didn’t dare to venture into unknown territories. I guess overthinking is the biggest enemy of creativity. When you overthink you mostly venture into negative mindset territory and come back to your usual path.
You can fail a few times if you venture into new territories but you should always have a strong faith to keep going. The world we see it now is purely because of few people who dared to venture into unknown territories. Their creativity built our modern world.
So break all the shackles that are stopping you and become who you are by being creative. You may fail a few times but you won’t have regrets that you didn’t try.
We are born as nothing. Then we embrace everything from our society and finally become a reflection of them. But what really stops us in becoming a bad version of our society?
Our Parents
They nurtured us, made us a better version of them and tried to give all the happiness of the world. But sometimes we lose our way, become arrogant or sometimes distressed.
In those moments if we are under their shadow or try to remember them, then their words come alive like a source of strength etched in our memories. And once again we stand up, correct ourselves and become what we truly are, a better version of them, our true identity .
This is the biggest positive influence on many of us . So whenever you feel you are lost just try to remember them or be in their company, it will surely help.
Expectations are the biggest enemy of humankind. Whether you expect from your loved ones or from yourself, your wishes hardly come true. It’s like a cage you want to put on yourself or on others to get the desired outcome.
But life always gives you surprises. It doesn’t run according to you. You can see dreams, work hard for it but it is not necessary that it will come true. Disappointments are the result of expectations.
You should follow your path of karma religiously but you should never worry about the result. Let the future comes the way it is. Let life take you where it wants to. Give it scope to show you its colours. Mind you it always has something good for you.
I always have resolutions for the upcoming year, I am able to follow some of them but I never expect anything from the future. I Just try to live the moment that is passing now.
Let’s make our ‘Now’ as beautiful as possible and these moments in the present will surely make our future bright.
What is one thing you would change about yourself?
When you are born , you are hardly aware of fear. As you grow , you come across various obstacles like fear , self doubt and low will power . These negative thoughts stop you from progressing in life.
But , apart from this some of us luckily come across courage. To some it comes from within and to some it comes from people around them like parents, teachers, friends or coaches.
When it comes to me , I was an introvert kid. I hardly made friends and that made me extremely nervous on stage or speaking in public. My only source of strength was my parents.
With time , I progressed slowly and I somehow dared to perform as a musician on stage and sometimes I spoke in public. I came to realise the more you will push yourself to do difficult things , the better you will become. Practice is the biggest key.
But then time passed , I got failures, few successes here and there but mostly I was dented by a new obstacle , Procrastination!
I am the king of all Procrastinators. Things which I should have done a long time ago are still pending now. My sane mind shouts at me to do certain things but I somehow manage to ignore . I sometimes feel an invisible force is pulling me like I am a slave of someone.
I guess , procrastination is the enemy of many humans. It surely diminishes the capabilities of a man. It diminishes the will power as well which is the after effect of this. You already know how to tackle this , you just need to stand up, move and start doing without overthinking.
I hope in the near future I will tackle this problem in a much better way. And fear, I will try to face head on, it doesn’t matter whether I lose or win , what does matter is my fight.
I hope my fellow readers , you too keep fighting because life is not only about struggles but your fight against struggles too.
