Tired of being kind towards everyone? Feeling betrayed by how this world manipulates your words and exploit your image? Retaining your good can be challenging sometimes.

Being happy when the rainbow is in the sky could be very easy, however, being happy when its pouring is the real trick. Life is like a stair whereupon stumbling on a tiny irregularity, you fall all the way down from where you had started initially. People around us tend to like us until we are equal or beneath them in any field of life. As soon as you rise and prosper a step ahead of them, they naturally develop envy and ultimately yearn to drag you down. Most of the time when we try to drag somebody down to the level where he/she used to be, we end up destroying everything that person used to have which makes this approach destructive and ethically evil. 

In history, many Dukes have killed the Kings just to gain more power than they already had instead of enjoying what was theirs. Many innocent lives had been taken in the past for the gain of power. Power and recognition are an addiction that could make people do bad things, really bad things without even realizing how cruel they are being towards the other person, and that too because he/she is just getting more acknowledgment by the crowd than they are.

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.

-William Shakespeare.

I would highly agree with Shakespeare, yet would love to add more insight by saying that life is a stage and we all are the characters playing our individual parts. We have major characters and then the minor characters. All of the characters are equally important and absence of one can destroy the whole play. Similarly, we all are placed on different steps of social hierarchy and have our own roles in this world. By being sincere to what we are allocated to do, we can make this world a beautiful place to live in. On the contrast, always looking up to what others have and you don’t have, you are ultimately humiliating your self. Always keep your eyes on the success, and not the successful. 

Your success would be yours and somebody else’s success would be his/hers. Both the successes are different and belong to the different persons. See, the world never runs short on success and achievement. In order to emerge, you don’t need to drag others down and make your space forcefully. Make yourself worthy enough that your shine could be visible from miles away. Aim higher but don’t climb up by stepping on others faces. In fact, step up on the pillars of your achievements and strength of your character. Be a good human being who know workplace ethics. Workplace ethics tell us how to be a useful human being for the people around us.

Be the change in this worldly chaos and say no to drama! Live good, and let others live happily. Be the reason someone breath in peace today. 

Adios.

Have you ever faced a lost kind of situation in life where you are pretty-sure kind of sure that something is not right but you still want to give it a try? Where your gut feeling is constantly telling you to stop, but you keep going anyhow, silencing those screams of your inner instincts, just because you kind of want to have it anyway. At one point in our life, we all face such a situation where no advice, no sympathy, no shoulder can comfort us, no hand is there to wipe off our tears, and no joke can cheer us up. The point where your heart and mind are in constant conflict; every single day, and you have no clue what tomorrow might bring. Still, you just don’t feel like stopping. It is like a beautiful dream where we keep our eyes shut to keep seeing it for a little more time before we finally wake up. 

As confusing as this might sound, it is four times more painful to bear. It may sound easy, but it is way more complex when your heart is in constant conflict with your mind. When your mind is giving you a clear picture, yet your heart wants to try one more time. Have you ever witnessed a magic show at the carnival? It is all an illusion, yet realistic enough to beat the reality. Whatever happens in our lives is the same illusion that either keeps us hanging over in pain, or else dance in ecstasy, however, it will all be over before we can even know it happened. 

People always leave.

However despondent I may sound here, but this is the reality. Many people come in and go out of our lives, yet we fail to comprehend why they came in the first place. Some people come to teach us a lesson for the future, some make us realize the good in the bad, some give us a better picture of life and make us believe more in self-love. 1/100 people stay till the end, that is it! We do a lot of effort and invest so much energy to make some people stay a little longer than the others, don’t we? Yet there could arise such conflicts and differences which could drive us apart in a minute or less. This is life, and this is how it’s machinery works. Tolerance is important in every cause, yet compromise on your self-respect is like a poison tree that will ultimately kill you from the inside and you will be rendered useless to an extent where you wouldn’t be able to do anything for yourself and for others eventually. RESPECT is the key, people! If there is mutual respect between two people, they are traveling miles together for sure. 

Coming back to the point in life where you actually feel like you don’t feel anything at all, the key to tackling such a situation, I believe is to swim with the flow. Do not iterate the heart-and-mind conflict for a while and let the time decide it for you. Time is the best healer and has the tendency to heal the deepest scars. No matter how many scars are left on your wrists, the bleeding will stop and the scars will fill up with the fresh skin. While we are wasting our time today, worrying too much about what will happen tomorrow, maybe that tomorrow might never come, maybe you die tonight, or else something worse befalls on you instead of what you are expecting at the moment. We are humans and we always find a way where there is no way, but we also overthink and exaggerate a situation that is totally a waste of time. Then again, we can’t leave everything for the time department and continue doing the best that is in our hands, but once something starts getting worse, just leave it there instead of dragging the misery for so long. If you are confused, don’t panic because there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Buy yourself some time and it will figure many things out slowly and gradually but PATIENCE and HOLDING YOURSELF TOGETHER are two prime keys that will let you through such time. Moreover, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, HOPE and STRENGTHENING YOUR SOCIAL IMAGE are two catalysts that will actually speed up the process. 

However, when it comes to others, just let the other person know about what you are planning to do, let’s be fair with all the people around us. If you think you can’t continue your journey with a specific person, just let him know instead of keeping him hanging in the hope of fake love and false promises. NOW, THIS IS IMMORAL! THIS IS UNETHICAL! In contrast, people think that TELLING THE OTHER PERSON FAIRLY THAT YOU BOTH ARE NOT MEANT TO BE TOGETHER is an injustice. NOT AT ALL! Sadly, most of us think otherwise, yet, just follow your dreams and chase whatever makes you happy. One mistake of yours can never impose the misery on the rest of your life. ONLY YOU CAN CHANGE IT! YOU HAVE TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF! 

Not every truth brings you happiness but still, truth is what it should always be. Lies can take you a little longer but the higher you go, the worst you fall. 

We all make mistakes and with the passage of time, correct them as well. However, some mistakes are irreversible, so we just try to minimize their impact somehow. It is rightly said to learn from your mistakes, however, none of us deserves to be punished for the mistake that has already caused us so much harm. Never allow anybody to punish you twice for the same mistake that has caused so much suffering in your life already. Do not overthink whatever is going to happen in the future and try to make the best out of it while you still have got time. Try to make your present beautiful so that the echoes of happiness could be heard in the corridors of your future. Take your life seriously, no matter how confusing the situation might get, no matter if you are standing on the verge of the cliff, jump off with the pride, jump off with the confidence that whatever you are doing is just right and time will definitely show you good days where everything will be just fine because, in the end, the best is yet to come. 

YOU ARE THE BEST WITHOUT ANY DOUBT! DARLING, IF YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, WHO ELSE WILL?
