Thoughts
These notions are ruminations and realizations as I walk through my journey of life. Some may be inspired by others, and you might find connections to different ideas or directly to individuals, which I find relatable and interesting. I feel most of them arise from the human-made complexities of life, which is something we’re doomed to live by with all its richness.
Some of it could be happy, sad, or whatever form human emotions may take, and these thoughts could take any of those forms when I pen them down. The exact thought is forever with the one penning it down, for god knows what reason.
Everyone sees life through their unique lens and the experiences they’ve gained in the time being, and that opens and closes doors for them to move forward. I wish more people took the time to see more holistically what life has to offer.
This is my way of sharing my learnings as I navigate and explore this world for all it has to offer.
I truly believe there are people out there who will resonate with one another, even in the slightest ways and that’s the beauty of it. We’re all unique in subtle ways, yet often separated by distances for which we haven’t found meaningful ways to bridge connection.
So, if you have thoughts that are raw, genuine, and come from a place that doesn’t intend harm - express them.
As it’s said: this is life, your life, and your only life - so live it to the fullest.

Life seems to be a river, and we are a small twig. It emerges from a source and ends in a sink. A twig empowered by wind and other twigs, by things that push, and by obstacles to either fight through or take as hints to redirect. It’s up to the twig to use what it has to work its way to the bank it desires. And as a twig is part of the big tree, you carry with you the traits of it. You can stop at any bank you want with the effort to reach it, but the flow of the river still takes you through all the stages of life one by one and at the right time. Sometimes your river can be entirely different from the one someone else is riding. But two things are common anyway: you’ll drift with the life of the river and end up in the oneness sink of the ocean. Just try not to hold on to a single bank, take in as much as you need and go with the flow with the drift you want to have.
Focus empowers, and drifting dilutes the power of manifestation.
It’s quite paradoxical yet amazing that we’re infinitesimal in this universe and hold a vastness within ourselves that’s beyond any richness the universe can offer.
Why do we miss out on living life, to see its rich, bright, beautiful, amazing colours? Where and what are we running for if we don’t even have time to sit, think, and enjoy the present? I don’t have an answer and don’t intend to find one. Instead, I’ll live my life in the present with whatever it has to offer. No thinking or searching for an answer will equal it.
Acceptance gives you freedom and power in the pursuit of anything, despite situations and inabilities.
Conflict of thoughts paves the way for clarity of thought.

Love and death are the only two things to be left for destiny to handle. All others are up to you to make up in your life. That’s the freedom we get to enjoy.
We need to take turns and switch roles rather than wear masks in the situations and circumstances of life. Being you is the freedom that you always have, and you can take attitudes and behave in the best way possible.
We don’t realise how interesting the game of life can be.
Train your mind to reframe thoughts towards goodness, righteousness, and betterment. As said, thoughts build your reality, and you hold the power over your thoughts.
Everyone and no one except yourself holds power over your thoughts. And it’s up to you to choose.
Today, human actions aren’t bound by the universality of nature as they used to be. But if we can possibly and unitedly agree on at least one thing, then it’s attainable and leads to a better balance.
You may find yourself to be a culmination of different personalities that resonate, relate, admire, hate, and have likes and dislikes similar to you. Similarly, some may find parts of you within them, and if you attain fame, more people may find your pieces in them. So, if you take all of them and piece them together, there is no way to connect them all to make you the way you are. That missing connection is your unique personality that you need to build and strengthen.
Right intent protects you. It’s like the shade that assists you in your long, hard path. It also inhibits unwanted thoughts that may drain your energy.
Find your interpretation of ‘Balance’. For someone, following a proper routine is balance. At the same time, there is someone who works tirelessly for days and then takes the same amount as rest. Both may be odd and extreme to each other, but that is what they find to be balance for them—and neither is wrong. Find your sweet spot.
We really don’t have to worry about anything that’s on the emotional side as long as the sun’s gonna rise the next morning. It’s quite strange that what you feel deeply today and find very hard to experience is about to fade or be forgotten, and always loses its power over you.

No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.
The soul is healed by being with children.
Everything is subjective in life until it can’t be. You learn, unlearn, accept, reject, and change with your experience of life to finally settle into what is truly you.
Learn to uncomplicate life. Even if you overthink and complicate, things are what they are, so why do it? Accept what something is and go chase what you want.
Life happens in between knowing nothing matters, and knowing that if nothing matters, then life will be boring.
I think life should never be limited by someone else's definition. Live and define it for yourself, allowing it to evolve as you grow and gain more experiences.
If reality is solely based on how you feel, then you should open your eyes wider before you feel it’s too late. You’re missing out on a more beautiful view that you’re blocking yourself from for no good reason.
Just live the present, don’t anticipate the future, and don’t regret the past. Just be present in the moment.
The ultimate goal of life is to find yourself. The journey of life is to get you there. While doing so, you get to fulfil a purpose that helps all of humanity in even the slightest way possible. By today, we’ve off-tracked and gotten distracted.
Knowing yourself is the highest form of intelligence.
Isn’t it the duty of oneself to find himself or herself through the process called life?

We’re all just lost wanderers in the vastness of life and the universe.
Enjoy being in the process of becoming.
We judge others by their actions, but ourselves by our intentions.
The solace of being unfiltered makes us at peace and happy, and being careless is one way of getting there.
Aim to explore and experience for what life truly has to offer.
Abra-ca-dabra – I create as I speak.
When love comes knocking at your door, be the best version of yourself possible.
Nowadays, people aren’t following their gut or instinct. Two things: one, people need to sit with their thoughts without distractions, and second, they need the conviction to pursue that decision and make it right. People who find it difficult to follow their instinct suffer from either or both of these problems.
Purposeful struggle adds both meaning and beauty to life.
There are infinite right answers to the single question of what life is.

We are all born so beautiful. The greatest tragedy is being convinced we are not.

We all share a commonality that we often overlook throughout our lives. Even if you grasp it early on, you may still choose to ignore it for a while.
We have two worlds: one within us and one outside. Make peace with each other; sometimes find balance, sometimes focus on one, but never ignore either.
Human beings are fragile, yet they can beautifully manifest throughout time.

For what it's worth, it's never too late to be whoever you want to be.
You overestimate progress in the short term and underestimate it in the long term.
One reason for improving our understanding of the world is to enhance our ability to mold it to our desires. Studying game theoretic models (or other models that apply to human interaction) may also suggest ways in which our behavior may be modified to improve our own welfare.
Some people are great, and some are just children. The only thing that really satisfies me when I have stress from work is to work.
Always break something apart into byte sized manageable pieces of knowledge.
You've got to play the game of averages. If you try enough ambitious things, a bunch of them work out.
Quit being a coward and do the hard thing - You need to run towards the pain and darkness and not away from it. I think the best leaders always run towards the darkness. They always run towards a problem.
Power is given only to him who dares to stoop and take it ... one must have the courage to dare.
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless yet be determined to make them otherwise.
The "How hard can it be?" mentality: Sometimes, a bit of naivete can fuel bold ambition and lead to incredible breakthroughs.
If you quietly accept and go along no matter what your feelings are, ultimately you internalize what you're saying.

If you're building your voice right now, don't chase followers. Don't chase reach. Say what you mean. Sharpen your inner filter. Speak from silence, not from strategy.
Your mind will keep you up at night, make you cry, destroy you over and over again. You need to convince your mind that it has to let go…because your heart already knows how to heal.

I only wanted to share just one of the many questions leading their lonely existence in my soul.
I want to ask you, dear sir, as best I can, to have patience about everything that is still unresolved in your heart; try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms, like books written in a truly foreign language. Don't look for the answers now: they cannot be given to you yet because you cannot yet live them, and what matters is to live everything. For now, live the questions. If you do, then maybe, gradually, without your realizing it, some far-off day you will live your way into the answer.
In the spirit of Rilke, we can learn to avoid the addictive appeal of fast, easy answers. Loving the questions is a practice that's seldom pursued, challenging to sustain, and utterly transformational.
Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide.
“The catastrophe you fear will happen has already happened.” That catastrophe was so devastating and traumatizing that we’ve forgotten it, so it is lurking in the shadows of our unconscious, making us sick with fear and worry.
It is a joy to be hidden, and disaster not to be found.
