Unsuccessful yet!
Dear confused mind,
I know you care for me, you want
me to be satisfied and successful. You keep comparing me with those people you
have seen back then with those beautiful physique and glittering attires. You
keep comparing me with people who have achieved unrealistic things in their
life and remind me to be like them. Just for a change, I was thinking about you
when I realized few things so I am writing them to you.
Success is a hypothetical term,
defined to make someone feel motivated for further journey and not to make them
feel less of themselves. Instead you watch people on social media and wish my
life was like them, that lifestyle with high ranks in college, 5.6ft height to
complement 28in waist, 6 packs with perfect beard. Stop comparing me with them,
I am not them.
So, unfollow every account which
makes you envious.
Some people achieve their goals
by the age of 20 because they have been working on it since they were 15, I
have achieved my goal of scoring good marks in 10th at that time, I
am successful. Some people are successful since they were 5, maybe they are
working since they were 2/3. Me? I ate spicy food and my mother is finally
freed from making separate food for me, congrats, I have successfully achieved my
mother’s happiness. You are worried about my future, my success. Don’t worry, even
now isn’t too late. I will start now, try out things, fail, try again, fail
again. If it isn’t motivating you then I will find something that excites you,
includes you. Try that, conquer that. Life isn’t that short. You have enough
time, don’t worry, things work-out if* you’re focused and passionate and determined.
Things will work-out fine and you will be successful in your 40s or maybe in
your 50s. Keep hustling because procrastination doesn’t sound cool, happiness
does.
If Fridays don’t excite you, change
your friends and if your Mondays don’t inspire you, change your work!
It’s okay if you haven’t found
your thing, it’s okay if you’re not sure about your future plans. Life goes on,
with or without you. But make sure you’re traveling with it. Don’t stop
dreaming and achieving things because you are old now; because the limit of being young
isn’t defined yet and age is just a number; because being scared of what people
will think about you is so childish and people are mean. (They are also scared
of you for their plans.)
Comparing yourself with others is
acceptable as long as ‘others’ is the person in yesterday’s mirror. If not, if
the person is someone else then get motivated instead of depressed and lost.
There’s
long road ahead, die trying or try dying!
-With love, Aishwaya
