Negativity in our lives and the role we can play to bring it down!

To overcome the negative thoughts in our heads, we first need to understand that how they take birth in the first place. 

If we look closely we would find that people who are miserable in life are the ones who hold back to certain questions so dearly that they never even accept the answers to those questions.

They would simply keep hanging to those questions within their heads and would never want to arrive at a conclusion, it is as if they do not even want to come out of their state of misery.

We as a society and individual think that when someone comes to us with a question, we are entitled to answer it, but that is not the case most of the times. Most of the times, the person with the question simply wants you to acknowledge that he is in pain, that he has a question in his mind, simply doing this puts them at ease.

It makes them think that someone out there understands their state of mind and that they can be understood by other people too.

Condemning people is always easy but understanding their plight and their internal struggles is hard

Blaming someone is always easy, but trying to figure out the reasons behind their actions is really hard

Similarly, stereotyping someone is easy, but helping them break the barriers with full support from us is hard.

I believe that it is our duty to help people around us, everyone is going through a different hardship, everyone has their own demons to defeat, and the least we can do is listen to them, so that they can simply know that they are not alone.

In a world where everyone is screaming, it becomes even more difficult to be heard, it becomes even more difficult to be found, so lets stand up and make sure that we would lend our ears to a broken soul and would never try to judge a person without knowing the reasons behind his/her actions.

Lets try to cut down the negativity in the world by simply listening to each other.

Live Laugh Love💓

Do you see what I see?

Do you see what I see? Definitely not! Even if we all look at the SAME thing, at the SAME moment, we cannot see the SAME thing. If we remove the scientific angle from the explanation and only try to understand the philosophical or experiential angle, we would know that it is impossible for two people to look at things in the precisely the same way. How we experience things, places and people around us depends on our past experiences, our mental status and a lot other internal things. Though we can try to relate with others around us in a similar settings, we never know what they must be feeling exactly, sometimes they themselves don't know. Having difference of opinion is completely normal, very rarely it will be the case that two individuals can completely agree on something, and we should understand and respect that without any ego or negative perception. We all have a different life philosophy, different goals, different learnings, We all cross paths with each other for a short ...

Don't try too hard to fit in, let things fall in place with time!

Trying too hard to fit-in in any group, community, society or network can often lead to a feeling of being left alone. It can also be pointed as one of the reasons behind people feeling lonely or unacceptable at times. But, think it this way, Resistance is a very natural phenomenon, everything in nature resists change at every level. Change can only be brought upon with gradual and positive efforts, that's is the only way, or else it will feel like an act of suppression or intrusion. When we try too hard to fit in, we make ourselves vulnerable to others opinions, we do things which don't actually align well with our core nature, we try too hard for others to like us that at times we even start compromising our self esteem and self-belief for it. This act of getting validation from others and seeking a sense of belonging is what makes us feel lonely and sad when the expected feelings are not reciprocated from the other end. A few things which I can think of, which might help you...

I am not who you think I am; I am not who I think I am; I am who I think you think I am

"I am not who you think I am; I am not who I think I am; 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐈 𝐚𝐦" Yes! read it again, and let it sink in for a while. This quote by Thomas Cooley says a lot about how we perceive and judge our own selves. How we indulge in the act of being liked, praised and recognized by others and how we lose our own identities to become someone who after a point doesn't resemble the real us. We all start out with a dream, a dream that makes our eyes shine, which makes us all welcome the rising sun, But as we grow up, we let go of those dreams and start doing things that would make our parents, relatives, neighbors or even strangers proud. We shed the wings of our desires only to rest in the safe nests, we get so trapped within our own minds, that we neglect to see the real world. We give up our dreams of a lifetime, just so that some people will one day pat our back. But is it really worth it? Is it really worth to live for an identity...
