Balance

In between goals is a thing called life.

That has to be lived and enjoyed.

Recently, I have been so busy with my life, and honestly, it’s not the worst, as I am still trying to find the balance between my work and life. It’s all about priorities, as I talked before, I know I want to get these things done in a day, and I can, as they are all my priorities. When people used to talk about the importance of maintaining a work-life balance, I now understand it. According to me, the balance is maintained when I have two peaceful hours to watch a movie without rushing to finish it. It is important that I give myself the time to sleep peacefully and eat without rushing because health matters the most. I feel like how you make and spend your time matters the most. There is a lot of time, but only when we know how to use it properly. That’s what I am learning. If I look at my day, it’s hectic, but all my tasks are completed without rushing. And I also know sometimes I will be in a rush, but that’s okay, I know I am going to handle it. When I think about life, I think about how all humans have to work just to survive and live in this world. It’s crazy thinking that we don’t live for free but pay with everything, including our mental health. A few years ago, I was dealing with the worst balance in my life. As I wanted things to be done without caring about my mental health as well as my physical health, and at first I didn’t realise how much I was suffering. But later, everything went downhill, and it is also so hard to get back in shape, especially if you are mentally drained. That’s how I was, and I am sure most were in this situation and probably still are. But let me tell you something that I personally learned: everything that goes will return, but you can’t say the same things about health, especially mental. So, like I understood that it’s okay if we take a break, nothing major is going to happen, and if it happens, let it happen. What matters the most is our health, and that’s all. So if you are struggling a lot with not knowing how to balance, just leave everything for some time and find the peace that your mind needs.

My well-being is just as important as my work.

Start of something…

It is okay to be scared. Being scared means you are about to do something really, really brave.

The start of something is always scary, no matter how professional you are. Because it comes with a lot of new things like people, surroundings, objectives, goals, and expectations. I recently started something new, and to be honest, I didn’t really know how I was feeling, but I do know that I will be able to do justice. Well, now I can only say that it is inevitable to make mistakes and that’s totally okay. How are you going to do better if you won’t make mistakes and correct them better the next time? You need to start somewhere to reach somewhere; that’s the mindset I keep. I used to believe everything was scary and still believe it, but learning new things begins with mistakes. And it’s okay, I think we were never really told that everyone makes mistakes in the beginning, and that’s how they learn. When I talk about my experience, everything in my life happened so fast that sometimes I need to snap back and realise how fast I have come. Every now and then, I am starting something new or looking to start, and there is always a thought of what if I am not able to do it. But that’s something that will always come, no matter how much experience I have. And I need to start somewhere so that I know what I want in my life. Life is all about experiences, so for that, we need to start somewhere, no matter how scary it is. When we go blind in something, obviously, it’s going to be scary, but here we have to trust our guts, mind, and our capabilities. I know at first everything looks scary, but once I start, I rock it, but that doesn’t mean I don’t make mistakes. It’s impossible to learn something new without making any mistakes. So if you are doubting whether you should start something and feeling really scared, I would say it won’t go away before starting. You need to start, you need to do it, no matter how scary it is at first, everything is scary, but that doesn’t mean you are not able to do it. You can, because you are made for that opportunity as it comes to you. Be strong and do it, regardless of how scary it is.

The scariest moment is always just before you start.

Don’t Look Back.

Don’t look back. You’re not going that way.

In my life, I have reached that stage where I have gained confidence, where I have learned to believe in myself, and I have finally started to learn how to handle my insecurities. And this happened because I made myself and my mind strong. However, there are moments when I feel my insecurities getting the best of me but I know how to handle them.

The way I have learned is by not letting myself look at my past mistakes as mistakes, but rather as my learning points. I believe we should only look back to see how far we have come. Sometimes we dwell so much in our past and its mistakes that we forget that the entire present and future are there to live through. In life, we have a lot of moments, many of them are about learning, which definitely makes us feel bad about ourselves; however, that’s all the moments that make us strong, as much as we are fighting and still standing strong.

We have to live in our present; we don’t have to dwell on our past, nor do we have to think too much about our future. It always works out, maybe in a hard way, but it works out, and that’s what is important. The present is the most important time in our lives as we fight through so much just to live in the moment, so don’t just look back and feel how much better you could have done. Believe me, you tried your best, and maybe life wanted you to be tougher for better experiences.

I always have the motto to never look back and regret things because that only makes me feel horrible about myself and how I was unable to achieve things. And always, that was a phase for me to grow, and now, when I look at myself, I feel so proud because the things that made me doubt are now just mere things. Now I can achieve more because of my stronger mindset, and I am so happy and grateful about it.

So remember, look back only when you need to feel proud of yourself, to see how far you have come, to appreciate your strength, and just to see how much better you have gotten.

Wake up and live.

Doubt ruins everything

Self doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

I came across some of William Shakespeare’s quotes from his plays, and one of them really stood out to me: “Doubt kills everything, and ruins the best within us.” I always used to believe that I needed to be good at it naturally and that I would achieve it. But it never crosses my mind that I need to try to know if I can do it, and if not, then I can learn. There is this theory that I was studying the other day by Howard Gardner, where he says that intelligence doesn’t only come in academics but also in linguistic, musical, spatial and many more.

And that’s so true, but the doubt that comes before starting anything literally kills everything. I know at this point in my life, I have done so many things, some worked out while others didn’t, and that’s okay, but I learned so many things. If I let doubt take over my mind, I wouldn’t be mentally strong enough to achieve things further in my life. Remember, every moment and every opportunity is a step towards better things. We will be learning every single day in our lives; it is a phase that will never be over.

So, doubt before even trying is a big cause of losing so many things. Don’t be afraid to try new things; it will bring you so much confidence, and it will help you see yourself in a light where you can do so many things. It’s all the game of mind, how you look at things, and how you allow yourself to look past the doubts and take the step. I know it’s not easy to make up your mind and look past the doubt; however, ask yourself questions: if you took this opportunity, what would you be going to lose? Instead, you are going to learn. The first step towards learning is accepting the challenges and just doing it.

You need to make yourself and your mind stronger. You can do many things; it’s the doubt that ruins everything, so remember, before the doubt ruins it, you get over it.

You can do hard things.

Post-Graduated and Proud!

“Graduation is an exciting time. It marks both an ending and a beginning; it’s warm memories of the past and big dreams for the future.”

Knowledge is everything, and the more you learn, the more you have the power to defend and put your point across. Yesterday I got my results, and finally I am a postgraduate. Two years ago, I posted that I was a graduate, and now I am a level up. I also shared that I received my first-ever trophy for academics, and this all happened because I believed in myself.

These past two years, and even before that, a lot has happened in my life; the decisions about what to do next in life are so hard to make, especially when you are confused. However, after so many years just going with the flow, I finally did what I loved, and here I am, proud and happy. My post-graduation was definitely a big learning curve for me as I grew so much, starting to give presentations, doing research, writing pages, and just taking up new challenges which the younger me had never thought I would do.

My life has changed a lot, obviously. Apart from my growing age, I can’t believe I am the same person who used to be so scared of doing things; I am actually doing it. I am happy, and I am definitely content with my result. Definitely, I am feeling so grateful that I can reach such a step in my life and share it with the world. There are many things I want to do ahead, take on new challenges, and see myself grow more and more.

I know it’s frightening to move ahead after closing a chapter; however, I am so excited because I know where I am ahead, and I can’t wait to be there. So, of those who are about to close one of their many chapters or are about to begin a new chapter, all the best. You can do it, just believe in yourself, and you have a way through.

“Today is a milestone. It tells you how far you’ve come. Keep learning, keep accomplishing and keep venturing on through your journey.”

Some random thoughts…

We are all broken. That’s how the light gets in. – Ernest Hemingway

My life has been in that phase where I am afraid to move on, while on the other hand, I am moving on and living an adult life. The thing is that I have yet to have a realisation, I think I have been in an auto mode for a long time, and that is the reason I am unable to grasp and actually accept my new adult life. When something happens, it happens so fast, and you don’t even get a chance to adjust, while on the other hand, the plan you have made and are waiting for takes such a long time. This is what we call the unpredictability of life. I have learned so far that someday I am not going to like how my life is going, while other days I will feel happy, and that’s okay. I just know that I will never give up and I will achieve the dream that I have been dreaming of for a long time. You have to start somewhere to reach the place that you actually want. Don’t feel heartbroken if life is not going the way you want because it won’t in the start, but that start will help you reach where you always wanted. I think life throws challenges because it wants to make us stronger to hold ourselves for a long time. I am actually speaking from my own experience, I have been through a winding road in my life that I can’t accept that I actually crossed it and am now on the other winding road, but if I compare, I have actually become so patient as well as strong, maybe because I know I have dealt enough to know what I should do. Just want to tell you that don’t give up, you are more than capable of anything you want and don’t regret anything. You did your best and still are doing, and trust me, ahead you are going to feel how strong you have become in managing life challenges.

Don’t compare yourself to others. Be like the sun and the moon and shine when it’s your time.
