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.
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?
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?
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?
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 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.
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.
Healing is difficult. People go through domestic violence, sexual abuse, and the loss of loved ones or losing property. The trauma lasts forever for many, and they never move on. The incident revolves like a tape recorder playing again and again. It makes them weak, and distrust for humanity grows.
A few with self-care and the “will to live” survive. They go against all the odds and win over their gruesome past.
Life is not the same for us all. The choice is ours as to how to lead it.
If you want to stay healthy, then eat well.
If you want freedom from corporate slavery, start your own.
If you want to fall in love, dedicate enough time and be sincere.
If you are fed toxic culture at multiple places you worked, hunt for a new job.
If you want to be part of something huge, then get ready to be paid less for future returns in ESOPs.
There is a price attached to all our actions and desires.
Life is not fair. Things never work as planned. We can either mourn it or accept it with courage.
Mourning is not an option; you will become weak, and it will kill you from the inside.
When you accept reality, you will become fearless. You will start leaving in the unexpected.
We die every single moment; the choice is ours.
