We live in a world that's forever busy, yet, there are some who have all the time in the world to mind others' business too...despite all the chaos that prevails..
People will
- Judge you
- Have opinions about you
- Call you names
- Criticize your actions
- Call your ideas silly
- Label you as a failure
- Question your decisions
- Laugh at you
- Insult you
- Ridicule you
- Not appreciate your strengths
- Want you to change, to be someone else you are not..
All this happens for everyone at various times in life..
There's surprisingly, one solution never the less.. to overcome all this in one go, Be fearless. Keep saying, "SO WHAT...?" and just be yourself, be a NUT.
A Nut with Self Belief
Has it ever crossed your mind as to who would have planted so many trees in the forests of the world. Yes, some could be by humans, but, all the other has been the products of squirrel’s.
These creatures are forever busy. They are curious, they are always looking for something or the other and have the habit of depositing it somewhere for future use. This seems to be their every moment act day. The nut that the squirrel saved is forgotten, slowly gets buried into the darkness of the soil. It bears all the pain and discomfort to finally break away and sprout into a plant. It grows with the support of all the other trees and eventually grows to become a tall oak. In fact, every tall oak that stands high in the forests aiming for the sky is a testimony to this fact - self-belief.
Man with all his greed may chop the oaks, but, mankind still will survive, thanks to the squirrel, they'll keep doing what they are known to be doing for ages - hide the nuts, and forget. Forests will flourish with this natural process. Let's be like the squirrel, and plant some good thoughts and forget. Let it grow and flourish too, mankind certainly will benefit.
Be either a squirrel or a nut, both will do good anyway.
As your anticipation builds, you might take a few moments to remind yourself how thrilled you are to be alive. Now, as you look ahead to the new year, you can commit to working hard to make your dreams a reality. Because you realize the value of discipline, you know that you will make every day count.
While you visualize your goals, and develop a plan of action, you can get excited and begin to put your plans into action. Naturally, you are aware that when you work hard to provide value to others, the possibilities are unlimited. As you commit to excellence in your life, know that this will expand your future beyond anything you ever dreamed possible. Realize that you can easily accomplish anything you wish when you decide to be persistent in your efforts. Understand that you must do whatever needs to be done and do it now. Naturally, as you discover the power of highly focused self-direction, you’ll find new ways to succeed beyond your wildest dreams.
In the months ahead, as you do your work each day, let your mind motivate you to create success immediately. And a year from now, when 2019 draws to a close, you can look back on a year of success and achievement.
Wishing all of you a great year 2019 ahead.

5 年Just loved it Sir. Very powerful post. Packed with a punch. We need to be either squirrel or a nut. This is the hard fact i can vouch observing the surroundings.? Scope of squirrel is well known. But the power of being a nut is tremendous these days. Infact these days nut achieve success at a much higher rate in comparison to squirrel infact they less stress themselves. Their histrionics are mind blowing infact often squirrel find herself dwarf in front of nuts. But this is the learning. If you can become nut just go for it as the ultimate objective of both is to reach the goal. Nevertheless, its really difficult for squirrel to become a nut. Squirrel is always class apart.(Blue blood in veins know) Wish in the year 2019 real blue blood community to grow manifold to pat, encourage, recognize the sincere, committed, compassionate, feet firmly grounded, always curious to learn and grow this SQUIRREL. Amen!??
