Why do we fall?

Why does the same story repeat itself?

Why does the same question pops up into all our minds?

Why do we procrastinate?

Why do we face failure?

Why do none of our plans work out?

Why do we fall?

Millions around us crave for the answers to the above questions, attend seminars, and even Google them up....

Waiting for the answers to present themselves in front of them as if a magic wand!

That's the problem with us.... We rely on others.

We rely on somebody else to take a particular career decision so that we can follow their footsteps,

we rely on other people to make relationship decisions for us, we rely on other people to tell us what to do with life, with our jobs, with our visions, with our ideas, with our dreams....

We rely on those who tell us that the world is a big bad place where people are lurking by the side just to steal our idea, just to harm us, just to take advantage of us, just to rape us, just to harass us, and yes we are living in a whole toxic society that has nothing to do with humanity, principles, broad mindedness, openness, diversities.... 

We rely on others to make our own beliefs, we rely on others to tell us whether we are right or wrong!

Believe me, THIS is the problem.... In the exam of life everybody thinks they have the same question paper.

For God's sake, start taking a stand for your life, start taking a stand for your values, start believing in faith, start believing in your abilities, nobody in this goddamn world has the authority to tell you that you're not good for anything! The more you hear these energy suckers no matter how important they are to you, the more you succumb yourself to this very narrow shell.... A shell that's going to kill you each day, each day in your own limited arena of action when you were born to live a legendary life!

I know I'm being a bit too harsh and rude on you saying that you shouldn't depend on others when it comes to your dream but let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, being selfish towards your dream is the only ethic there ever was in the life of game changers who have created a dent in the universe. Those who have chosen to rise above excuses, above the discouraging sounds of the people around them and above all their own voice of doubt!

We fall because we let the shouts of this world drown our own inner voice. We fall because we do not take initiatives, calculated risks, read books, accept our faults, commit to change, experience more experiences.... We are so goddamn comfortable in our league that boasts of toxicity, laziness, fear, and oh yes, FEAR.... Before entering into the arena we assume that either we do not have enough abilities to win the match or the match has already been fixed and I'll end up being on the losing side because I'm such a big fat loser!

It's hard changing your life but as I said in the previous post, just take the first simple step.... Go ahead make that long awaited phone call, get your meeting fixed, pitch the plan and rule the world. You are phenomenal and you don't even know it. Trust me the moment you start realizing the fact that you're no less than a one-man/one-woman army, you'll be invincible. The possibility of being wrong would vanish away from the vision of your perceptions! Take decisions and make them right. Have no regrets because when you'll give the remote control of your life in someone else's hand, you'll end up blaming the other person for who you've become and that's the worst you can do to yourself.

Learn to be self dependent ladies and gentleman. Be humble to others, listen to them carefully and then do whatever the hell you were going to do anyway. Again, the goal is to die with memories and not with dreams.
