The mind is a powerful place….

There are always two sides to a coin, and we all have choices,meanwhile one thing is certain, you either choose the positive path or the negative path but be rest assured that the latter has an easy road compared to the former, but at the end of the day positivity wins. Always stay positive irrespective of how tough the journey seems to be, its a matter of time, keep feeding your mind with POSITIVITY.

At 21 you start to write about your life…….

At 21 I started poetry, writing about my life but people were still confused about what I write. Most people wanted to know if I write about my life or I just write whatever came to my mind. When the people close to me got to find out that I write about things I’m dealing with, things that I’m actually experiencing, they fell in love with my poetry the more. Seeing this, I came up with a slogan called real, real poetry but I still feel like I’m the Fakest.

The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.

Sometimes in life, we get some gifts that feels so special to us. This gifts could be form of a person, place, or thing, but in the end, we find out that that special gift was never meant for us. In as much as it pains to let it go, we just have to let it go. Someone, something or someplace else needs that gift more than us. All we can do is to pray to God that he brings our own gift that’s truly meant for us.

Don’t let anybody tell you who to be or write your narrative.

To be successful in life, you have to be yourself. Do not let other people tell you how to live and also do not try to copy others because what works for me might not work for you.

Everybody’s got something to say about what you do. People you know, people you love, people you hate. Even people you’ve never met. They tell you what to do, who to be, and how to live. But nobody who tells you what to do actually knows what’s best for you. So stop listening to them. People don’t know you as well as they think they know you. No matter how long you’ve known a person, they don’t know the real you. They know the version you choose to share with them which might be 80% of yourself, but it’s never 100%. The advice they give you can only be as successful as the amount they know about you — the real you. Even people with the best intentions are influenced by their own desires. They want you to be happy and successful, but in a way that fits their own definition of those terms. That definition may not match your own. The advice people give you is based on what they would do in a similar situation. But what they would do is based on who they are, not who YOU are. Their intentions may be genuine, but the reasoning is often misaligned. Other people may love you so much the way you are that they fear your growth may impact your relationship with them. But it’s in your best interest to evolve into the person you want to become and the life you want to have. Beware the person who fears your evolution.

You are the expert on you. Nobody can know what’s best for you better than you can so trust your instincts, stop listening to others, and own your decisions. You’ll be glad you did. One of the best ways to build confidence in your decision making is to broaden your expertise and deepen your knowledge about how the world works.

Negative thinking doesn’t mean you’re a pessimist. It just mean you’re being realistic.

Do you ever catch yourself being critical, judgmental, or full of fear and worry? And do you ever worry about how many negative thoughts you have? We’re taught that negative thoughts are bad, that they’re “toxic,” they “lower your vibration,” keep you stuck, and so on. We’re taught that in order to feel self-assured and confident, we should banish negative thoughts from our lives. Kind of like, goodbye, negative thoughts; hello, higher vibration, better boyfriend, nicer car, inner peace, and so on.
So what do you do with all that negative junk in your head? How do you make it stop? And is trying to jam a positive thought over a negative one really the best way to manage the situation? People often advise you to trade a negative thought for a positive one using techniques like affirmations. Quick, quell those negative thoughts! But is this really the best way forward?

Most people misunderstand this whole negative thinking debacle because they misunderstand what thoughts are in the first place.
Happiness doesn’t depend on how few negative thoughts you have, but on what you do with the ones you have.

Everything that breaks you down could also build your character.

It is normal in this life for good things and bad things to happen to everyone. But the actual truth is that, there is good in everything that happens to us, if only we search for it. This is a story of two kids, who were orphans, so they went to live with their grandfather who was an alcoholic. One of the kids following his grandfather’s steps, became a chronic alcohol addiction and the other became a successful businessman. When both were asked “why are you the way you are?” Their answers were the same “because my grandfather was an alcoholic”. The same event, the same childhood, two different outcomes. This is true for almost all situations. One decided to become an alcoholic because he’s grandfather was also an alcoholic. The other decided to work hard so as to provide food since his grandfather was an alcoholic and wouldn’t be able to cater for their needs. The same reason, but two different outcomes. what happens to us is an objective reality, how we respond is a subjective choice. We don’t control what happens to us, all we control are our thoughts and reactions to what happens to us. Remember that: You’re defined in this life not by your good luck or your bad luck, but your reaction to those strokes of fortune. Don’t let anyone tell you different.
