I know darkness is not the absence of light but not losing the hope that light will return. The light that waters your smile is what I call ‘rush’ for it crumbles the hope to not make you get stuck in waiting. If you dream without plan it’s just a wish and if you hope without moving, you are waiting for a train that have left the station.
Being with someone who knows you very much or being someone that understands yourself very much has a big difference. To break the ice, do you want to talk to someone when you are really down? or are you that person who wants to be alone when you are really down? if you are the one in the second profile, I bet you talk to yourself a lot. I know it’s hard to be alone, but trust me you have yourself at your best when you start talking to yourself.
Let me tell you something, if you have something inside you, something that makes you angry for not doing it, trust me, any reason for why you are holding on from that onwards is all excuses. And if you start believing your excuses that’s when you are on the way to fail. Life is not about winning just at the end but every moment. So, don’t keep anything for tomorrow and don’t leave anything you could have done for any damn reason you excused yourself for. Let me also make you be clear with something as well for you will fail, you will keep failing. And when you fail you should also keep this in mind that you are moving as well. And nothing that moves in this world are rewarded and anything that’s mobile has a reward for its mobility. People will make fun of you, you won’t get those demotivating words just once or twice in a week but every-day of your life, and when you get those you have to know that you are moving and anything that moves always wins. You will also feel like giving up every-day of your life and even with feeling so of those, you will still sleep to wake up and hope for a better tomorrow, and if you are in that remember you are moving as well and anything that moves are rewarded at the end.
What you call best friend today is the deadliest potential enemy of yours. So, always remember a principal, “feed their ego.” You must be thinking this is nothing to do with friendship but it will be the best tool to stop hatching a friend to an enemy. Have you ever had an experience of “feeding their ego” with anyone? If not, let me explain, if you have a very jealous friend where he keeps eyeing on your exam marks, just tell them that you didn’t get good marks in the last exam, and you will see a sense of relief in them. Or when someone compares your dress with his/hers, just gently say they are way better and you will see a sense of pride in them. This is a complete example of feeding ego, those fools will have that sense of superiority in them and they will die with that as well, which is not much of a thing in the real world.
This is the only principal I use now with my haters, when someone say I am not good, I just praise them for how good they are. This keeps so much distractions away from your road.
Rising is always the best part for it’s filled with growth but falling is where your real exam happens. Growth and movement are two different things for you need to raise in a roller-coaster to see growth and you need to again fall with great speed to move for completing the circle. There will be so many real movements in your life, if you hang on tight, you will not get hurt but if you can step on it and jump with the momentum, that’s when you will inspire millions. No one likes to listen to growth stories but those stories where movement happens, those times where you are hurt like anything, those time you want to give up, those time you want to run away. So, collect all the falling moments for that’s the best treasure to touch people’s lives.
