You are a victim of your own mind

                   

Whatever problem you think you are having it might not actually be true. Most of the "Problems" we see are the creation of a beautiful artist called the mind. We always see what we want to see, we always hear what we want to hear and we always believe what we want to believe, irrespective of it being true or not. Many a times we like to build a mess of a trivial situation and sometimes that is the reason we suffer for long.

We all must have been through a time where our sadness and happiness were both dependent on other people, so much so that we forgot our existence for some time. We are many a times also surrounded by such people who are like anchors; they will always pull you down. Here first thing we need to understand is that our life is not dependent on the existence of one person. We should not expect anyone to stay forever (except for family and some irreplaceable relatives). Those people who cannot be a reason for a smile on your face should be treated like a peel of the banana. You have to remove them.

Things and relationships might not always work out to be as per your expectations and you have to deal with it. There is no fixed standard of how things would be, they shape up eventually, but our expectations exceed everything and we screw up what little bit we have. Don't compare what you have with others, because if everybody and everything was same, we might never understand the difference.

Don't pity yourself in any situation, be it losing a job, getting rejected by your crush, not getting what you want, not getting good results, nothing. You become a loser by your thoughts and not by your deeds and it is the same thoughts that can take you to greatness as well. We feel like nagging, crying and quitting in most of the situations but remember, losers quit on failing and winners fail until they succeed.

“Erase the victim mentality. Remember you are capable of achieving greatness. If only you'd believe in your abilities to overcome. You are victorious. Celebrate the victory.”

“The problem with having problems is that ‘someone’ always has it worse.” 
― Tiffany Madison, Black and White

Whatever you think you, you can't- either way you are right. If you think you can, you will find a way else you can always conveniently find an excuse. Anything and everything will seem difficult before you begin, but once you begin you're halfway there. Whatever limits, fear and hesitation you have, it's just in your mind. You define your limits and only you can push them.  

“Limitations can only be undone by the mind that created them.” 
― Erin Fall Haskell

If all the great businessman would have given up after failing for the first time, we might not be seeing the greats of Dhirubhai Ambani, Warren buffet, Bill gates, Mark zuckerberg etc.

Everyone has problems, everyone has failed, but those who were in control of their minds sailed thorugh and those who were not are still trying to find a way. Some people try to find solutions for problems and successful people try to learn from their problems.

It's all about how you see. Half empty or half full ?

Writer's Paradise

We have 100 reasons to not do something, but only one reason is enough to do something. I had many reasons not to write, but there were some reasons which brought me to writing. Here are some of the reasons which suggest 'why you should write?'

What can't be said, can be written:

Many a times we find ourselves engulfed in the vortex of thoughts and all the emotions stirred up in us makes us incapable of expressing ourselves. At such times, writing is the best way to vent out everything, your anger, your sadness, your stress everything. But yeah make sure your problems don't become entertainment for others.

“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.” 
― Louis L'Amour

How to live after death?: Write something worth reading or do something worth writing:

Writing is something that is going to stay forever and ever, even after you are gone. Not many people are blessed to be able to write something, so if you are one of the blessed, make sure you write something that is going to stay for long. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to reach out to masses, but yeah even a little something that may help someone in their life is also worth it.

Do you want to know who you are? Write:

Unfathomed thoughts and unclear visions, everything can get clear as soon as we write. Writing doesn't require any thinking, any meditation, any practice, it's like a river and you just have to let it flow. Writing will bring you face to face with many aspects of yourself. Some things you will not understand and other things you will understand in a better way. As good as it is an art, it's also an eye-opener.

“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
― Ernest Hemingway

Because some stories are left untold....

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
― Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

Sometimes a story that is incomplete is the best story to tell. And if you have the habit of happy endings, you can finish the story as well. The best thing about writing is that it gives you the liberty to do what you want. You don't have to do it for someone, just for yourself.

So whatever reason suits you, just write....
