A Real Talk from My Heart To Your Heart

Today I am a well known digital marketing consultant, keynote speaker, and a social media influencer. But if I go 8-9 years back in my life, it was never like this, what it is today.

I have struggled my entire 20’s trying to figure out my life and to make living for my family and myself.

And even today I am struggling.

8-9 years back I was struggling with different things and today I am struggling with some different things.

Just because you become well known, life doesn’t stop to test you.

It puts even more tough challenges and tests your worthiness.

I get messages from people across all the social media platforms, telling me about how they are feeling hopeless of themselves, how messed up their lives are, how miserable they are feeling, how everything goes wrong in their life, how miserably they have failed, etc etc etc.

If you are one of these people then I want you to check out this conversation where I open my heart to you and talk about the struggles of my life.

Transcript:

Digital Pratik - So it’s the 11th of July, 2019. 10:55 pm and I just wanted to discuss over here. Today it was also like work work work work work only entire day along with that couple of family responsibilities like my younger sister who is pregnant and she is expecting a baby any point in like 2 months. So we have to get a bed for her and we went shopping that kind of thing. In Gujarati we call it as "Khatlo".

So I don't know if you understand that or not but I will try to put a picture over here of "Khatlo"

That is what we were searching for around our area.

So in the evening I and my entire family went to buy that and meanwhile I was also tweeting a lot as I posted around like today like how many posts today 11th of July 2019 on Instagram I have six unique pieces of content on the feed, like on the stories like if I calculate on the stories then on stories I have around like 22-25 stories for the entire day.

Then I am doing this particular YouTube video also I posted 3-4 unique pieces of content on LinkedIn, I posted 3-4 unique pieces of content on Facebook also I started a challenge #askdigitalpratik.

It's not a challenge actually.

But now if you just carefully see I have done one of the videos today where I am saying that now onwards you can tweet me on Twitter as well with your questions and you can use #askdigitalpratik.

All right!!!

And if you use that hashtag to tweet me your question then yes I will definitely get back to you on Twitter as soon as possible at the earliest in the best possible manner and the reason why I am doing that is because if you can clearly see like right over here on Instagram I already have 99+ request all right and it never comes to like below 99 as well. It's always 99+.

So I don't even know how many DM's are there right now in there. It can be like 100-200-500 I don't know because it never goes down.

And I always keep on getting questions and that's the reason I am just trying to bifurcate on Twitter as well.

So I answered a couple of them, I engaged with a couple of community members for twitter as well today and all these things it was all work work work along with a couple of family responsibilities.

But now, especially a few hours ago right now it’s almost like 11:00 p.m.

But around 9:00 p.m. somebody has messaged me.

All right?

And I saw that message probably somewhere around 9:45 p.m.

So I was just thinking whenever I document my entire day I will just share this thing.

So somebody over here like I won't share the name but I will put up a screenshot.

I'll take a screenshot right now so that that screenshot can be on the screen right now.

And that screenshot says you can clearly see it is like 9:01 p.m. when I have received that DM.

I was just going through the DM at 9:45 p.m. when I saw this.

He is saying that:

"Sir I am literally crying right now while typing this message. I failed all through these years. I feel dead. I am a hopeless person to be alive. From the last 3 years 2 failed startups. No family support, no cash, no life. I was once a topper now a no one. I have no next step. Bye man grow yourself to 10 figures."

My only answer is, I'm not gonna reply to this guy because no matter what I would say over here he would be into that phase because of his last two lines.

Like he is so impatient right now because of the situation which he is having right now and I give due respect to his situation but my message over here to all the people who are thinking like their life is messed up and only bad things are happening to them and not to others.

God is doing bad to them.

They don't know.

All right!

What is happening to me or other people?

You think that just because we are showcasing like we are putting up 6 unique pieces of content on Instagram over here means everything is going well in our life.

You have no clue what is going in our life.

What is happening in our life.

What is happening in the family.

What is happening in my relationships?

You have no clue.

You have no clue why these bags are.

Dark bags.

It's not because I don't sleep much, it's because of something else as well.

All right!

This is like a straight heart to heart contact with you right now.

You have no f****** clue what is happening in my life right now all right that's it.

Now I can't showcase, I cannot show you my entire life.

I am just trying to do the best thing I can possibly do.

Nothing else.

I don't understand why people always think that just because they are being seen on social media life is good for them and bad for them.

They don't have patience.

I have all the empathy and sympathy and love and respect for all the situations that you have right now.

 I would hug this guy and cry together if he will meet me.

All right!

But just DMing and then you are not getting a reply in like next two minutes you are thinking that God bless you with 10 figures and I am going bye.

What going to happen to your life.

The reason I am talking in this manner and I am not pampering this kind of message is because even if I pamper what will happen it will just gonna give some bad hopes, fake hopes, false promises.

All right!

I just want to be the elder brother to this kid over here who doesn't know how to pamper.

I just want to be straight on the face.

And I want you to face your challenges, your situations.

Like you have failed twice in your startups.

Do you have any clue how many depressions I have gone through?

I have gone through three different depressions in my life and then what I am right now.

I have lived my entire 20's in struggles.

And still I am struggling.

For the past 7 to 8 years my family is entirely on me.

If I earn one penny I have it.

But if I spend that one penny it is not from my pocket and people don't realize that.

All right!

Yes probably you are seeing this.

Anyways this is kind of a different version of Digital Pratik but I just wanted to be honest.

Like you guys have no clue what all things we guys go through it's not just you who suffer all right it's not just you.

 You have no clue.

I wish you all the best. God bless you.
