We are defined by the company we keep.

Interesting company = we become interesting.
Boring company = that boredom eventually rubs off on us.

That said, if you are with yourself and you are lonely, are you in bad company?

If not, why are you lonely, shouldn’t you be happy to be in the company of your best friend?

It turns out, we humans are our own best friends.
And we create the constructs that eventually create us.
What if we created a construct that allowed us to enjoy solitude in our own company?

You are your all-time company. How you make it, is how it will make you.

Embracing failure is not the end.
It is the start.

Making a mistake is not the end.
It is the start.

Changing careers is not the end.
It is the start.

Starting a new hobby is not the end.
It is the start.

Moving to a new city is not the end.
It is the start.

Letting go is not the end.
It is the start!

If we were to look clearly, every end is a beginning in so many ways.
If only we were to look clearly through what it really is, and not what we think about it right now.

Don’t make this mistake in your job!

Whenever your manager tries to show you a way to do things, do not mistake it as an imposition from their side.

Don’t think they are not giving you the autonomy that you need or they are stifling your independent thinking. Because they are not.

However, it is their job to show you how things work, or how they could work better, should you do this way.

Do not fail to see the difference between guidance and prescription.

How you end up doing your work, is your choice.
How you respond when shown a better way of doing your work, is your character.

Don’t stop working hard once you have gotten that big break.
Don’t stop reading because you have had multiple good days.

Don’t stop working out because you have lost those extra 10 kgs.

The world is designed to make our lives comfortable. Avoiding the comfort trap is the difference between who you are and who you could have been.

Because it is only in pursuit of discomfort, that you truly become comfortable.

Small increase in weights you lift.

10 minutes early from your waking up time.

Eating healthy most days of the week.

For the longest time, it will feel like you aren’t making any progress. Until you see a transformed person altogether.

Transformation is usually tiny tractions of taking time to simply show up, every succeeding time. There is power in showing up.

Our body loves familiarity. So it stays in hell.

It hates to get out and seek some newness. So it lets go of heaven.

Truth be told, we know what they exactly are.
We just need to choose.
Every single day.

In the last scene of ZNMD, when Imran and Arjun try to convince Kabir to reconsider his marriage, Imran tells him: “Let it go. Let it go, Kabir.”

That, to me, is the goosebumpy moment.

Because in order to be free, we gotta let go of everything that is keeping us away from who we want to be.

You got to let go. Only then you will let it in.

1. Be curious
2. Resist the obvious
3. Never get comfortable

3 things that will solve for everything in life.

Are exams urgent or important?
How do you manage your time during exams? 

I’d say exams are both urgent and important.
Ideally, nothing else should take up space in your mind during those days. 

What this means is – you won’t have time to pursue your passion, create content, or do anything else on the side during that time.

And that’s okay.

What this means is, that during your exams, your exams are a priority. Both urgent, and important.
You ought to do your best at it, and not regret it at all.

Once they are over, you can get back to your rhythm effortlessly. Easily. And happily.

The ones who manage their time well don’t do everything everyday, but they know they can get back to their routine if they get off the track, if that happens.

This is the beauty of life. You can decide whatever you want to do, whenever you want to – if you have built a strong foundation of routine.

Getting the degree is not the end.

It is the start.

Clearing the interview is not the end.

It is the start.

Entering a relationship is not the end.

It is the start.

Raising funds is not the end.

It is the start.

Your goal is not the end.

It is the start!
