Projection

We are a projection of our thoughts and consciousness in philosopher’s terms.

I think there should be a revamp in the definition. We have become a projection of whatever gives us attention.

We are no more living with consciousness. Our thoughts are dead, and we are lab rats of technology.

nice

What is the price we pay for being nice all the time? Why do we let others take credit for our work? Is it because we are too nice to fight for ourselves or scared of losing company?

Do people take us for a ride because we are too nice?

Is there not a thin line between being nice and letting others run over you?

I am not sure if others see our niceness as our weakness.

ban

Our monkey mind does what we are told not to do. All things banned makes us experiment with them even more. It becomes like some guarded secret, and we would crave to unlock it.

Is banning something good or bad? Is reminding a child what they should not do good?

Instead of telling us what we should not do, tell us why we should not do it and explain logically.

It will make more sense.

Regrets

Regrets are not medals or battle scars. It’s a byproduct of our response to adversities and situations in life. In the end, the choice is ours. We can die keeping regrets close to our chests or move on in life accepting them.

Our life on this planet is limited. There are some situations when things are not in our control. We have to accept fate and make peace with it.

In the end, we are no god. We make mistakes.

Change

How difficult is changing ourselves? How difficult is changing our habits? Are these new year’s resolutions of any use?

We, humans, are lazy. We don’t like change. As a result, we end up overpaying or get stuck in an abusive relationship.

We don’t change our habits. We are stuck to addiction.

Is change a constant for most of us apart from biologically aging?

hard

We become so hard on ourselves that we end up living in a parallel universe. We become a critic of everything or suspicious about everyone around us. Could it be the upbringing, hardship, or we are too scared of losing and pain?

Why can’t we take life as it is instead of adding all our suspicion or fear? Every moment we are dying and writing life’s journey in our memory. Why do we have to make things so complicated?

Escape

Can you escape facing reality?
How many distinct addictions do we need to keep us distracted?
Is escaping from pain a cure?
Can we be original while living in pain?

Why can we recognize that we are in pain and take the proper cure? Is carrying a brave face, acting all is well to the world of any good? Is it not like being trapped in prison and using anything or everything to escape from reality?

give up

We build relationships and end up as trustworthy companions. It all boils down to commitment with honesty and love.

The same applies to businesses; you have to be committed to them and give your best with service and support.

Giving up on you should not be an option, be it in business or companionship in a fruitful and lasting journey of life.

Layoffs

Layoffs are part and parcel of employment. It hurts and self-questions your capabilities, but in reality, it is more about organizational restructuring.

In short, the organization mismanaged, and you had to pay the price of losing your job. You are still the same person working and earning for living. Don’t self-doubt your capabilities.

business

People, fundamentals, long-term thinking, and culture are recipes for a successful business.

Modern-day companies’ DNA is on growth where all the fundamentals are flawed, and everything boils down to the next fundraising round. To achieve this, unnecessary hiring, product development, and lots of money get wasted.

Founders, investors, and stakeholders are talking about revenue from Blitzscaling. A change that does not happen overnight and requires a fundamental cultural shift from the top where the founder’s lifestyle takes 360-degree change.
