All that lies within you

We often look around for motivation and inspiration to keep going. But in the long run, we don't realize that these motivations and inspirations will not have any value unless we respond or accept them with consciousness. It's the belief that gives you the strength to keep going. But this kind of energy and enthusiasm is temporary if they aren't build to a habit.

"Life is more about finding the unknown part of ourselves rather than searching for the known parts of ourselves"

I'm 23, yet I feel like 50, life happens, you can relate yourself to me. So, as a food for the soul, I will outpour some of my learnings so far in my future blog posts. I personally read a lot and try to apply them, but you know, everything can't be achieved at once. It needs dedication and practice.

So, here's the one for you to start with -

# Stop being judgmental about yourself

Judging oneself from the past and predicting the future isn't always fruitful.

If you see the positive impacts, you shall attract the same as a learning and would stay enlightened. But when you observe any negative event then we have to think deep.

Some destructions are important and they are more likely to happen in one's life sooner or later. However its the choice of the individual that determines the result.

"Burn - turn into ash or rise like a Pheonix"

There are two kinds of destruction namely- 

• Self-destruction
• Creative destruction

Self-destruction - implies the state called "the monkey mind", the mind that dwells, doesn't settle and evokes frustration, depression, and encourage negative behaviors.

Creative destruction - implies realizing the mistakes, accepting them, let them go off, and moving ahead.

The fruits of creative destruction may seem overwhelming right now but are worth it.

"Your happiness cannot be elucidated with your nature, but your nature can definitely elucidate your happiness"

Wrapping up with some of my favorite lines from "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho,

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure"

"People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want" 

"The darkest hour of the night came just before the dawn" 

"When you want something, all the universe conspires to help you achieve it" 

"When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too"

"When you possess great treasures within you and try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed" 

"Making decisions is only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to the places he had never dreamed of, when he first made the decision" 

"The secret is here in the present if you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And if you can improve upon the present, what comes later will also be better. Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, be confident that God loves his children. Each day in itself brings with it an eternity"
