We all need to minimize regret in our lives. The feeling of regret is the worst. You know you missed out on something, because you didn't take action. You are your own enemy, your own inhibitor. That needs to stop. If not, at the end of your life, you'll think "what if"? What if I had the courage to do the thing and not have all these other factors overtake my mind? Don't let this happen. We only get one chance at life so being afraid, scared, embarrassed, anxious, should fall out of reality in the face of that fact. Nothing should stop you from doing what you want to do. Stare these feelings in the face and don't let them overtake you. Live your life to the fullest. There's no reason why you can't do everything you want to do. Regret doesn't need to happen. You can deflect imposter syndrome. You can eliminate what-ifs. It's all in your own hands. That's the beauty of this. Nobody else can prevent you from taking action. Take matters ...

  A different version of you exists in the minds of everyone who knows you. The thing is that the person you think of as "yourself" exists only for you, and even you don't really know who that is.  Every person you meet. have a relationship with or make eye contact on the street with, creates a version of "you" in their heads.  You're not the same person to your mom, your dad, your siblings, than you are to your coworkers, your neighbours or your friends.  There are a thousand different versions of yourself out there, in people's minds. A "you" exists in each version, and yet your "you". "yourself", isn't really a "someone" at all.

Procrastination is the thief of time. It's the enemy of progress. It's the silent dream killer. You continue to delay things until there is no time left. You end up at the end of your life realizing you wasted your one chance at life. So many what-ifs, so many regrets. It's honestly sickening. If you procrastinate, you never actually lived. Wake up. We all are too lenient with our time. We push things back because we believe there is always more time. No. Just a reminder: there's an end to this. I know it hits your gut when you read that. This isn't forever, you only have a finite time on Earth. If you continue to procrastinate, before you blink, your time to do everything you ever wanted is gone. You need to get serious about your time. You need to understand that time is the most precious commodity we have. When our time runs out, it's all over. That day will come, so get serious about doing everything you want to do. Stop always thinking later, because you...

  Why is it so hard to choose kindness? One of the worst human tendencies is to harshly and unfairly judge people of the past and present. We have an enormous intolerance for humans being human. We live in a culture that often confuses doing what's right with being superior or self-righteous. The honest initiative to better the world gets crushed by intolerance for minor mistakes and flaws. It's human nature to act unwisely and unlovingly occasionally. Especially during moments when you are mentally or emotionally weak or worn out. After analyzing my own imperfect life,  I can say this with utmost clarity  “The kinder and the more thoughtful a person is, the more kindness he can find in other people” It may sound corny, but it's as true as any statement. Kind people get more kindness out of the world. It enriches their lives and the lives of others.

  PRETTY PRIVILGE Dangerous than Racism In all honesty, I have nothing against those who are pretty or beneficiaries of pretty privilege. It's not their fault and they have been okay with me. This post has no blame, just a frustration I want to get off my chest. I've seen pretty people be treated incredibly well around us so many times. I have seen people flock to them. I have seen people maintain eye contact with only them, and skip over others. I have seen how people are nicer, more collaborative, and more forgiving of those who are conventionally attractive. I have seen them get career opportunities others would have to work twice as hard to get. I have seen them excel in life with little to minimal effort or definitely less so because their attractiveness has helped attracted mentors, willing help, right guidance. It frustrates others but what's more frustrating is that it's only ourselves to blame. It's humans who are built to appreciate beauty & many ...

  It's about all the males who have been suppressed because of our macho culture. As years go by I realize I cry very rarely, meaning once a year - If that. This is something closely related to Gender stereotypes. Males according to our culture should always be "tough" and "strong". There is actually a famous slogan: "Men don't cry" Whenever I cry I feel proud for abolishing this stupid Stereotype. What helped me embrace my kind of masculinity is to accept that it's okay to Feel low, anxiety depression & Cry Dear Men, You too, are allowed to take time to process, heal, to rebuild whatever they have broken inside you. You too, are allowed just to let yourself feel whatever it is you need to feel, and let it go. You are not weak You, too are allowed to be human. -Saketh
