Who Owns My Life?

by Anubhav Jain

Sometimes we get stuck between two options with almost equal chances of being wrong or right. And we can't decide unless we move ahead with one of them. The best way out is to stick our foot out towards one of the paths. We must not go forward but just stick our foot out. Our sub-conscious mind and sixth sense will immediately send positive or negative signals to our heart. If our heart gives a positive signal and persuades us to continue, we must go ahead. If it starts beating louder and makes us anxious, we must take a step back and try going on the other path.

Each one's circumstances are different, compromises are different, planning is different, needs are different, and goals are different. If we can't appreciate other people's achievements and luxuries, we must at least learn to ignore them and live practically as per our circumstances and needs or bear with long term consequences of an unworthy emotional decision.

Moreover, we all know that no human is perfect; each one of us has some desirable attributes, and some not so great traits; thus, expectations are the main culprit here. Better not judge people by a few good or bad experiences!

remember one thing in life, that less is more. Lesser you have something, more you crave for it and value it, and you utilize it efficiently, while an excess of even good things may lead to wastage as well as boredom.’

happiness has value in our lives because of pain, miseries, a little stress, and struggles. It's not possible to only feel happiness without tasting other emotions. And even if we get such an opportunity, happiness will soon lose its value, and we would start a pursuit to seek pleasure from newer and better means. Ultimately ending dissatisfied, confused, and craving for more. Live life as it comes without the burden of massive expectations. Enjoy happiness and respect miseries.

A degree gives you a quick entry and an excellent first impression, while knowledge and experience make you a valuable asset. If you have a good degree, well and good, keep learning and keep growing with experience, don't just keep hanging on to it. If you don't have a good degree, don't worry, keep working, keep learning, keep your mind open and have a little devotion, nobody would stop you from running ahead of the crowd.

We, the mature people of today's society don't even think once before being part of a mob and ruining innocent lives without confirming the validity of the information, however when someone genuinely needs us, we act indifferent.

beautiful dish ruined his evening, while everyone else feasted. He trusted beauty without merits and ended up making a fool of himself! That day he realized that looks matter, but what lies a little beneath matters even more.

'In simple words, always keep your dreams in your head, work towards them with passion, and never forget to stay humble and grounded, and you won't depend on other people's miseries to realize how happy or big you are!'

Imperfection is one of the traits common to all human beings. If you look for flaws in people, you won't need much effort to find many. However, if you see through the imperfections and search for positives, you will love, appreciate, and respect most people, you know.

Life is just a meaningless tale of taking birth, living, and then dying one day. Every day can't be special; we need to find pleasure and satisfaction in our routine life because there is no other long-lasting source of happiness.

Why should we value other people's words when even they can't stand by them? One more thing- scold children, punish them but avoid giving judgments about their future, because sometimes children get hurt deep inside and lose hope.
