Knowing Yourself, Thoughts

Remember the postcard?

Every single day we have, we say more than what we speak.

Most people believe people judge them by what they speak. Speaking doesn’t generate trust. It’s just a validation of who you are.

What you don’t say and do it, decides what people will think of you.

Who you are inside, people will always know about it. Never an exception.

What you are speaks so loudly to me that I can barely hear what you say.

The question, then, is not “how do I make myself liked by them?”

The question is “how do I be the same inside and outside?”

Like a postcard. Not an envelope.

But no one understands me!

Maybe that’s true, that no one understands you.

Maybe even this is true, that this has been going on for long.

While this has been going on for long, why do you think it has been taking so long?

The answer lies in sitting back and reflecting. Maybe we need to sit back and start getting honest with the person in the mirror.

If you don’t know in which direction you’re walking, isn’t it going to be pretty impossible to reach your destination?

Right now, just right now, sit back and reflect on your life in the present, before moving on to the next distraction? If you have a minute for yourself…

What do you see?

When you see someone (your favourite person) has checked your Instagram story, it may just be tapping around, instead of consuming your content.

When you see your father is not understanding you, it may be because he was never ever understood since the day he was born.

When you see you are not being given your credit, it could be because the other person has a hole inside themselves.

When people don’t fulfil their commitments, probably because they have been lied to in the past.

Everything we see, is the tip of the iceberg.

The question is, what side of the iceberg do you decide to see?

One of the messages for my life

This one comes out as a small request.

To all those who smoke,

You’re not bad, however when when you get back indoors post a smoke, please please please do something to make sure that odour of smoking is not being radiated from you.

It makes the non-smokers feel suffocated and have an instant severe headache in some cases.

You may consider this as a small request from a family member who does not smoke and needs that level of space.

Thank you, and saying again, this is not to label anyone as “bad” (notwithstanding the fact that smoking KILLS), this is just a little request to make another little difference.

Let’s thank Beatles

Beatles was right.

Love is all you need.

We all are made up of love, should not save it up like we’re going to retire on it. Rather use it a lot because you’re made up of it.

We’re living in an economy filled with fortune yet starving in love.

Yet, today businesses, work and of course, families need love more than anything else.

Lemme explain this in a small video here. Hope it would add value to you.

What do you do?

“What do you do,” is a beautiful way to tell people what they shouldn’t be doing.

Most people don’t love their work, and those who do, will have it evident on their faces. So you needn’t ask them anyway.

Instead, create an environment for them where they are ready to open up. For example, “what keeps you happy,” or “what’s something interesting about you that makes you happily weird?”

Our job, as human beings, is not to go to the roots of “human doings”. Our job, is rather to bring out the “being” in every doing.

So, what do you do?

In search of life

In search of life,
I settled for death
Why ask others
When after murdering my own happiness
I am suffering the pain of its death
In search of life,
I settled for death

The above is an excerpt from my book “Fit Doesn’t Fit: Why not fitting into the world is The Best Thing for You and the World”

The only purpose behind me writing this book was to let people like you and me, who are wandering in search of happiness, yet know the only person responsible for happiness is the person in the mirror.

Yes, there are people who shattered you from the core.

Yes, there are people who tried to bring out the worst in you.

Yes, despite all this, no one understands you.

This book is an attempt to bring that understanding not TO you, rather FOR you, because you deserve it. Your life is not randomly allowed to be wasted by anyone.

You matter. Stop fitting in.

The ebook is available here and Paperback is available here.

What’s better? It’s available globally, outside India readers do check your local Amazon sites, because I want my global community to be benefitted.

Wish you all all the peace, friends. Stop fitting in. Be an Unfit.
