Often we run towards the things which do not even play a single role in our life or our growth. Sometimes, it seems that a particular thing is very crucial for us but in fact, it doesn’t contribute 1% to your growth, although these things stand as obstacles in your growth. So today in this article, I want to talk about such things.
1) Running after your past.
Every person has some kind of past and this past includes some bad experiences as well. If your past has not gone right due to any reason, then it does not mean that you just have to think about it only and give 90% space in your mind to such silly things.
Let such things and people remain in the past. You have to forget those people, their memories and everything related to them. As long as you keep dragging the memories of the past, bringing them into your present, you will neither be able to be happy today nor tomorrow.
The person who was in your past came into your life to hurt you. You were hurt and are still in pain. In this way, his purpose is getting fulfilled.
Why are you letting him win?
Don’t let it happen.
2) Show off by doing what others are doing.
A person should be happy in every situation. You should be happy with who you are. If you are not happy, then work hard for your happiness. Make efforts for getting what you want. Soon the day will come when you prove your worth.
But not everyone has this philosophy.
Some people do a particular thing, not because they want it or because that’s their goal. They just want to show off. They desire that if the other person has that thing, then I should have it too. If that person is doing it, then I should do it too.
Although his actions have nothing to do with his personality.
No doubt, these things will give happiness and satisfaction. But this happiness and satisfaction will only last for a while and faded soon.
You have an existence of your own. Do what you want. Do what is your true and long-term happiness. When you do something only for yourself without seeing others, then even a small achievement in it gives you great happiness.
Focus on those actions and achievements that are enjoyable for you, not on others.
3) Perfection
A big word but nowhere exists.
It is your task to work on yourself. You have to make efforts. It is your responsibility to improve yourself. But still, there is something or the other that gets missed.
Every human needs a perfect life in which there should be no problems and challenges. But no such thing as perfect life exists in this world.
Whatever is missing, let it happen. Something is not happening, it means that’s not in your destiny. Always try to make your life the best from your side, not perfect.
Instead of achieving perfection, make things as good as you can. But all this does not mean that if nothing good is happening in life, then you sit like a loser. Considering your strengths and capabilities, set realistic standards for yourself and work for them.
4) Expectations of others
Many people in this world may have expectations from you. Your parents would want you to be this or that in your life. Your life partner will expect something else from you or someone else may have some other expectations.
If you are considering the goals set for you by others as your goal and are doing hard work on it and nothing is happening.
Listen carefully, nothing will happen.
Because that goal is not yours. Neither your heart nor your soul is attached to that goal. Don’t run after goals that don’t belong to you. You have not come here to live up to their expectations.
- Think about yourself.
- Set goals for yourself.
- Work for yourself and
- Achieve for yourself.
This is the time to think about yourself.
