#newdaynewchapter is a Blog narrative started on March 1, 2021 co-founded by Kishore Shintre & Sonia Bedi, to write a new chapter everyday for making "Life" and not just making a "living"
The king of the jungle, the Lion lives with pride in his natural habitat. He has an army, lives in prides and hunts in groups with planned strategy. Being the strongest, the alpha male will reign unchallenged with power. Now, picture the exact same alpha male lion, but caged in a zoo, controlled and manipulated by human beings. The result will be a depressed beast deprived of his powerful nature. Now imagine you are the lion…Each one of us was born with amazing natural abilities, but like the lion above, if deprived of those abilities, that potential will be wasted.
A weak mind will kill our potential. For years I struggled with a “caged mind.” I didn't believe in myself and as a result I was always hacking myself with unbelief of what I could do. To live our lives to the fullest is to live our life in freedom. Just like a lion needs freedom to be “the king of the jungle,” you and I need freedom to be 100% ourselves. Real freedom is only found when we can become everything that our Creator designed us to be, not what other people made us think we are.
It's a bloody war, a daily battle and you need to fight for that freedom! How do we fight for freedom? Stop the victim mindset; stop feeling sorry for yourself. Stop avoiding change. Stop being a people pleaser. Stop fearing failure. Stop dwelling on the past. Stop making the same mistakes over and over again. Stop trying to be like someone else. Stop following the crowd. Stop whining about what you can't control. Stop feeling entitled to success. We only deserve what we fight for. Most importantly never give up.
Everyone's life has some purpose to fulfil.. We just need to listen to our instincts and follow up. Focus on your small wins. You are in the habit of self-criticism. Self-Criticism is essential as it stops us from being overconfident and proud. But excess of everything is bad. When you overly criticize yourself, you can’t see the positive side of your personality. You underestimate your strengths in-fact you might not be aware of your strengths. There are some other reasons also: Perfectionism in psychology, is a personality trait characterized by a person's striving for flawlessness and setting high performance standards, accompanied by critical self-evaluations and concerns regarding others' evaluations.
Nothing is perfect in this world, everything has its pros and cons. Stop being perfectionist. Accept your flaws and work on it to improve yourself rather than criticizing yourself. Focus on giving your best. Keep your goals small. This will boost your morale. Keep on learning and improving. Role Model is also a problem because you have a role model and you want to be like him/her. You have forgot that you have a unique personality. You are different from others. Your strengths and weaknesses are different. Your physical and mental levels are different from others. If there’s so much difference at each level, then how can you dream of becoming someone else.
Be yourself. You should focus on your uniqueness. Be ready for facing setbacks You tried hard for your goal but couldn’t achieve it. Such setbacks in life demoralize us. We think that we can’t do anything in life. Remember behind every successful person, there are some failures. You shouldn’t give up so easily. Go give it another try with full enthusiasm. If you are not getting succeeded in one particular field, then relax and think of what your are passionate about. Do what makes you feel happy. You can also select your passion as a career. It will boost your morale.
We have critics all around us all the time starting with family and neighbours first. You may have surrounded by people who always criticize you. They always find fault in you or even in others too. Try to avoid such people’s company. If you can’t avoid the company, avoid their criticism. Try to spend time with positive people. It will change your attitude towards yourself. Lastly, I would tell you one thing that you are unique because there’s something miraculous is happening just for your sake. And that miracle is the whole universe, our solar system, our earth are working immaculately, just to keep you alive.
Yes... You are Alive. A bit of malfunctioning in the working may lead to the end of everything. That means everything is in order to keep you alive. The whole Universe is working for you. You are so special.. Just keep this thing in mind. Because we have so much heartache that we have to deal with like for example bills to pay lack of money to go on holiday. We work to pay bills. But mindfulness and positivity increases the chances of you to be motivated and your self-esteem is in a better place. I don't suggest you to watch motivational videos or the things that brings a certain small time motivation and feeling to motivated. But you really need to watch some spiritual videos or some inspirational things. Basically, now you need peace of mind and soul and that is why you need to feel spiritual.
All of us expect life to be perfect : We always want to be happy; Not face problems. Be stress free. But that's not the case always. Nothing can be perfect. But we still try to make it perfect. By working hard and achieving goals. It is hard to push forward against all odds and achieve great things which most of us just give up as it's hard to keep pushing. Life changes when take it to be positive even when its not: Fight back even if we will lose. Stand up every time we fall down. Keep pushing even when there is a long way to go. So I hope no one gives up life at any point of time, keep fighting and running. Cheers!
