We suffer in Imagination than in reality

 Hey, I have used a title from a quote by Seneca("we suffer more in imagination than in reality"-Seneca) with no particular reason other than a frank intention that extensively explains what I want to share with you. It paints a very vivid picture of my massage. Anyway, with no further ado let us get into it.

Let us face it we are always worrying, right? what will happen if I do not pass my exams? what if I do not get my diploma, my degree, or my Ph.D.? what will people say if I start a youtube channel? what will people say if I speak about this? what will people say I am not married and I am 35? just worry, worry, and more worry.

While it might be fair to say that worry is a part of life and there is no one out there who does not. But what is very evident is that it just that like it is just thoughts on our heads playing over and over. So what is my point?

Well as much as we always worry, sorry as much as we have to worry we should not let it dictate our way of thinking and more specifically our lives. while there is no life without worry you should not live in worry but rather live in reality so to speak.

How do you that is what you are asking? here is how, when you worry about whatever, ask yourself what is the worst that could happen? like if you are thinking of starting a youtube channel for example asks yourself what is the worst that could happen. is it that some random dude will say you are not good enough. Like identifying the worst-case scenario and being there at that moment. I know I sound a little crazy but that is actually what  I mean live in that worst-case scenario in your head.

You will be surprised by how actually nobody gives 2 cents of what you do with your life. We have one life to live and one death to pass through which is inevitable at any time. but that not being my point my point being we should be actually worried if we are too worried sounds complicated. Listen you are not going to be able to solve all the problems so stop looking for a formula and start living the reality you have got, simple enough but how you execute is everything.

The key is not to worry for more than 20 seconds. In other words, let the worry work for you and not the other way around. It is there to show you what you can control and what you can not control. Needless to say what those you can control work on and what you can not you just let it to the gods or whoever you believe in.

As I close let me live you with a quote I live by. Ponder on it, put it on your desktop, on your phone's home screen, or wherever you can see it every day. 

"Everything in moderation. Nothing in excess"

-Socrates

Dare

The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The people who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, are nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, and live. Chained by their attitudes they are slaves; they have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free. People, who risk may go through things that seem self-inflicting you know someone looking from the outside so to speak might ask what in the world is this guy thinking? why go through all that? why try you know how difficult it is? These are the people who don't risk anything thinking it's the best decision in the short term but in the long run, those who have risked are the ones who enjoy life, feel, change, find their path, grow, and live fulfilling lives. Just like a plant that is in a cocooned place will always look dull unlike a plant that faces all the elements, is usually more vibrant. Here is my point always try, risk, feel, love, and don't ...

How to know, you are doing the right thing for you

 Hey, have you ever thought that the reason you are struggling with certain things in your life is because of something else other than you? Maybe how you are brought up affected how you view relationships, how you were treated in certain situations has made you change the way you view things, maybe a breakup made you declare there is no love out there, and so forth. I am sure almost every one of us has. Surely what any of us has gone through affects how we view and define these "things" in our life. Talk of relationships, money, and life in general. I mean it is only natural, We are wired the way our brains are created to be for us, to protect us, and thus if anything happens against what is expected it is a cause of alarm. In other words, if for instance what you have done before failed, it's only natural that when you have a chance to do the same endeavor you become alerted and you end up hesitating to do it, or not doing it at all. These "things" that do hap...

The pandemic lessons and why they will always happen

 Hey, surely pandemics have always been with us right?, and as I should also say they are going to be with us. Let us face it there is another virus somewhere waiting to happen and I don't mean to scare anyone but to show what is actually reality. To be honest with ourselves the pandemics that do happen or will happen are usually 99% our faults caused by our negligence, carelessness, and so forth but also through good intentions like trying to experiment with a bunch of drugs to find a better one. Anyway, it should not be an excuse, as pandemics bring all the negative things that we all know yet funny enough through pandemics man has come out more capable and better with a drug to kill that virus and keep the virus in its place so to speak. But as much as pandemics come packed with all the negative stuff we should not forget all the good they come with. what do I mean you ask? pandemics come with their fair share of good talk the Covid 19 pandemic for instance I would say has come ...
