We live in a society where we are surrounded by different relations that are important to us. As humans, we are not made to live in isolation. We live with our families, friends, and many other people around us.
But who do you think is the closest to us? Well, some of you must say, mom while for others it must be dad or siblings or a best friend. But the reality is different from what we assume. “YOU” are the closest one to yourself and nobody can take that place. It`s you who knows what’s going on inside you and what makes you content and happy. Once you understand this, you will eventually realize that you are not responsible for making everyone happy.
You are responsible for YOURSELF. As once you will be happy, you will emit positive energy and make everyone around you happy.
It may not be easy as it sounds, but can`t for once in our life, we can cease everything happening around us and breathe to look deeper into ourselves. From the time we are born till the time we reach our grave, our minds are fed with dreams, and things that others want us to achieve. Throughout our lives, we don’t dare to take the strings of our life into our own hands. Just because of this fear, log kya Kahen ge? (What people will say)???
Why do we have to care about people?? Have you ever thought that in such challenging times, nobody has time, so you really think people have time to gossip about you??? Are you really that important to them? In reality, it could be possible that they are struggling in their lives and they don’t have time for you.
This all is a mind game. Due to the world of fantasy/dreams that we create for ourselves, we end up being like this. We fear a lot. We fear living our life. We fear being happy. We fear what if?? Why can’t we take a sigh of relief and stop being afraid for ourselves?
Believe it, we can conquer the world, if we conquer our fear. When fear overcomes our life, our potential and talent is lost somewhere in its darkness. We are overshadowed by it.
Therefore, the first and foremost thing is to overcome your fear. Stop overthinking and stop thinking about people. Do what makes you happy. You don’t have to prove yourself to others. If you want to be a chef, go for it, you don’t have to be a doctor if that’s not your passion.
By hook or crook even if you become a doctor to make your parents happy because they fear what people will say? (log kya Kahen gep?) if you become a chef. Believe and admit it now, you will never be satisfied with your life. Because being a doctor is not your dream, it’s the dream that has been told to you about your parents.
You must be thinking about how will you make this move? How will you tell your parents that your dreams are different from theirs? Just follow the tip of not overthinking about the things you are being told, it doesn’t mean that you don’t consider consequences. Consider the consequences of your actions and compare them with the satisfaction and happiness you will get on achieving your dreams.
For instance, in the above case, what is going to be the worst-case scenario? Your parents are going to be angry; they will get hurt or will they stop talking to you? But for how long?? Once they will see you happy and satisfied, they will forget everything because they are your parents.
For now, they must be worried but believe it, with time they will realize that those gossip aunties or uncles won’t bring them happiness or be with them in their old age. It’s going to be “YOU”
All you have to do is to make a selfish move NOW to achieve your dreams. Yes, you will be compared with others, particularly, people of your age. But always keep in mind that each one of us is unique in our ways. People will never be happy. If you are doing something for people, they shall never be happy. Don’t let people drive you. Make yourself unstoppable, aim for real freedom. Freedom of your mind by not taking mental pressure. Whatever people say, don’t give a damn about it.
What matters most is YOU!!!
