Hey, everybody, Um, there's something I wanted to share about, huh? Until now, in my life, Um, I have starved doing things what I really should have been doing. And I never realized why I never started a task or something, A project or ah, hobby or a target, A goal in life. And I never went through it all the way. And, um, now this is something I have realized that our minds are so designed to give us reasons to stop doing what we are doing because our our body is our body and mind just wants to be comfortable, as comfortable as possible and whatever options it gives for you to be comfortable or whatever reasons your mind will give you not to pursue the uncomfortable actions that will lead you to completing your goals in life for your target in life or just a small thing like going to the gym. Like whenever you have a thought of going to the gym, your mind will start giving you reasons for not going to the gym. It will start giving you start reminding you off things that you need to take care off, which will sound much more important to you at the point that you will just quit the idea of going to the gym and start pursuing or doing something else, which is also important. I'm not saying that those things are not important, but at the same time, what you really should have been doing waas, um, planning what to do and when to do. And not putting away the task which will give you more pain, which will challenge you mawr as a person. Um, as it will challenge your character, your commitment towards doing things. Um, this is something like my father has been telling me all my life since I was a kid. I remember him telling him, Have a time table, always have a timetable with you, and I never listen to him. And it's only like last three years or maybe two. I must say that I bought a big calendar calendar with big squares, empty squares and with dates in them. And, um, what I do is every morning I write down on that calendar. What time did I sleep last night, And what time did I wake up? And I have been trying to push my wake up time to 40 clock in the morning, which I haven't achieved the yet. But every day I do right on the calendar. What time did I wake up? And every time I go and write in the morning, I have a thought in my head. Okay. Tomorrow I want to write 4 a.m. On this calendar that I woke up at four. AM and for that four AM I had to sleep early. Um, which is also really, really tough for me to dio, but I have been trying to work on it, but this is something like, um I have been a very, very disorganized to person in my entire life. Like I have never, ever completed anything that I ever started. I do have compassion. I do have, um when I start getting into something, I'd really get into it, and I really, really work towards it. I love it. I can. But this is also something I've realized about myself. That when I really, really love something to do, I really go for it. And I gave it my all. And when I really don't like anything, like there are people I have met hook and do things that they really don't like for a long time. I am just not that kind of person. I just I can only do what my heart starts liking, and it doesn't mean that I will do something easy. Just means that something that, um, go with my chemistry the way I am wired the things that I can do. I'm being a bigger writer, being an actor, being an artist. I just love making our I just I just love being on stage whether I am reading a poem or I am doing a scene or I am reading a play or I am trying to write a play or I am writing poetry or I am reading any book. That's something that I really, really, really enjoy and do. And this is something I have been working towards, making a living out of my out of my passion. I and I know this is not going to be easy, but these small steps off getting up early in the morning and writing it on the calendar. What time you wake up? What did you do? And by the end of the day, what I do is I have a I have a list of things that I I write that I put check marks on, like, a couple of things like related to my work that I do. I have I have a couple of questions that that a check mark every. Like. Did you write something today? Did you read something today? Did you make any money today? Do you go for running today? Did you exercise today? Did you? Did you meditate today? Did you give yourself? Give yourself enough time to work on things today. Give you Did you give up on something and things like those? And what? What? I could have done better by the end of the night. Every night I just sit down and I and I talked to myself and I Sometimes I write it as well that if I could have restarted this whole day since the time I wake up what time I could have utilized in a better manner. Um, and it's all about the time, and it's all about the time. We only got 24 hours in the day and they're not, um, not enough overs to do always what we want to do. Um, and sometimes I This is also something that I've been trying to work on myself. Like I I you always used to disgust people who are too much on their social media. And I never realized, Man, you really don't feel disgusted about them. What really troubles you is that if you are addicted to social media as well, and you are not able to take control off it and as our minds and bodies are designed not to, um not to find faults in ourselves but to, um, find the same falls and somebody else and hate them for it, or we dislike them for it. But disliking yourself is something that humans are not designed to do. And we shouldn't dislike ourselves. It's just that we need to point out that sometimes I do like sometimes I do this exercise like Okay, if you don't like somebody, why do I why I don't like them. Okay. What are the qualities that I like? Don't like them and and are these qualities, But I don't like in them and I also doing the same things that they are doing. And then I'm like, Oh, ****, you really don't dislike them. What do you dislike is that you do the same thing and you can't hate yourself. So you're just passing on the hate to somebody else. And, um, by doing this, I am really taking away the chance to get better, To realize my own mistakes, to realize, to not ******** myself. Do not give myself a pass for doing things and discard feeling discussed for the same things. If somebody else do it, um, it's all about tricking them. Mind if you if you if we don't wire our own mind than our mind, is just designed to wire itself. It's going to take information from different places, and it will just it's gonna keep working. If you don't work on it, it will keep working. It's like it's gonna make something crazy. And I was going to make something which is you are not going to like in the past years off your life. You are not going to like how you will be or what you will be in the later years off your life. Because all all your life you just chose comfort. And, um, comfort kills man. Comfort kills. Comfort is the biggest enemy that we have and our mind will only push us towards comfort. It will only push us towards doing things which make us feel good, which make us feel comfortable. And comfort is not always your best friend. Oh, that said, man. That's it for today. I guess this is something and it's a constant battle. It's not something like I am talking to you right now about all this and I have one. Okay, this is something of this is not like a checklist that you can check and you can say, OK, tomorrow. All this tart process is going to be already there. It will come eventually. The hard process off the positive tart process off. Pursuing the uncomfortable things will come eventually, but it won't come just like that. It will come by practice. Every day is like pulling weeds out off your head every morning and then planting good seeds every morning is going to be a chore. It's a chore that you have to do it yourself. Nobody kills can do it. Your mother can do it for you. Your father, your teachers, your books can do it for you. Your books can teach you how to do it, but you will have to do it by yourself. It doesn't matter how many books you are reading if you're not a blind, Um, and the concept that those books are enforcing if you're not applying those concepts in your life And that's also the problem, that we have so much hate in this world right now with religions because we read religious books. But we don't really apply those principles in our life. We don't have ourself check, um, system off living that am I also following the teachings that I am preaching. So it's hard checking yourself, improving your mistake, admitting your mistakes. That's that's the hardest thing to do. And I'm But believe it or not, this is only this will make you a better person checking your own mistakes and not um, giving in on the very sensitive moments, not giving up in the sensitive moments and being strong and telling your mind to shut up and you do what you really should be doing.
