Why your laziness will get you nowhere?

It feels so good when you are sitting in front of your TV or playing your favorite game and a large pizza, large coke and all the tasty burgers and chips are there to give you the best possible company. You are munching on them as if they're never gonna end and the game or the movie just adds spice to the aura. No one is there to disturb you. No one gives a damn about what you're doing and neither do you give a damn about the world. You don't care about the world. The world seems to be an illusion for you and the game or the movie seems to be your sole mission of the life. You just don't care that who will pay the bills and how. The movie/game is your life. When once you got rejected by a beautiful girl you slip into the abyss of depression and the combination of the movie and pizza seems to you like the only way to escape it. Your family is fed up with you and so are you fed up with them. This way, days slip into weeks, weeks slip into months and months slip into years and one day, You're a fat ugly guy. It feels to you as if a big inflated tire is tied around your belly making you look so ugly. Then you start blaming all the people who were behind it, slipping again into that comfortable couch loaded with piles of pizzas and endless cans of coke.

And then, you welcome yourself to "Lazy Land". How does it feel to live in here? Terrible? Yes, undoubtedly.

 So you are spending endless days in front of your TV or the PlayStation and enjoying your pizzas, dude, Is that what life is? I know you'll say to me "Prateek, hell yes! That is life" and in saying this, somewhere down the line you're insecure. You're afraid to be out in the world and play your part. You're a coward. Many times our egos are the curtains to hide our insecurities and that is exactly what you're doing. If you call your couch as the most comfortable place in the world, then please get up and take a whiff of reality, because that's not what's gonna be there in your life always. That is not gonna be the medium to pay your bills.

I know a friend of mine who used to do this all day, I said him a few words and they were harsh, rude and blunt. We didn't talk for many months for the words I said to him, hurt him badly but those were the injections to his self-esteem. And he's doing pretty well in his life now. What I said to him was "R, dude what are you doing? Are you a human or a dog? A real human being works hard to earn his bread whereas a street dog just eats up whatever is thrown towards him which is mostly the leftovers of others. Who are you? I see no difference between you and the dog. You are living on your parent's checks" and then damn! He was hit. Hit like a bullet straight in his heart. I wanted to do that only. But yes, that talk changed him for life. Look at him now and he's much fitter than me! Look at this diagram below and it might give you some realistic idea about what your laziness is doing up to you.

I know I am a bit blunt in this blog post but I just have to. For your betterment. Your fitness levels showcase your mental levels to the world. Like we took the example of a girl earlier, a girl will only like you if she sees that you do take care of your health. Eating up those pizzas now is enjoying, why so? Because your parents are paying the bills. After your parents are gone who will then pay the bills of your pizzas? Ignorance isn't the solution here, awareness is.Laziness very often breeds procrastination, which is the primary reason why average people remain average all their lives. 

Deep inside we all have a longing to realize our truest potential. We all want to change the world. We all want to drive great expensive cars. We all want to live in big houses. We all want to be millionaires. But all this can't just happen with a snap! It takes hard work and dedication. 

By shedding up all the habits that make you lazy, by transcending that "lazy feel", by giving yourself constant motivation that you have to make your today better than your yesterday, you'll automatically set yourself up to win. You'll discover more amazing stuff in the world. You'll see that your PlayStation or the movie can't give you that much happiness than making yourself work harder every day to strive for your aspirations. Once the couch that felt comfortable while playing on your PlayStation will now seem to you like the most uncomfortable place. And why will this happen?because you'll realize that your couch was just a sneaky little tiny hole where you hide from the reality of the world as if it never existed.

 There's no wrong in playing games on PlayStation as well,  do it, but with regard to time. I myself love playing games. But don't play them that often. 

Now I leave you with another question...

EITHER FEED YOUR MIND WITH ALL THE EXCUSES OR FEED YOUR MIND WITH PASSION, DEDICATION, AND WILLPOWER TO STRUGGLE.

Results do vary on both the sides.

YOUR FITNESS IS 100% MENTAL, YOUR BODY WON’T GO, WHERE YOUR MIND WON’T PUSH IT.

Till next time.

Stay motivated. Stay excited. Stay happy. Stay active. 

How To Be Realistic ?

What does “being real” mean?

Being real means being WHAT YOU REALLY ARE.

Okay, that was tricky. Let me rephrase that. 

Can you identify anyone who tries to be sweet around you and you know very well that he/she is someone else behind you? I know you can identify such people. This species is present everywhere.

Now if your intuition can sense this person, can't your fakeness be decoded by someone else?

I know you would feel good if someone who is bad, accepts that and admits it in front of you. Now, what would you feel if you accept your mistakes and flaws in front of someone else and promise them to amend yourself? A sense of joy, happiness and confidence will flow into you.

When you are hiding your true self from someone, the bond of you both will get weak. Negativity is like a disease. Once a germ gets into your mindset, it will spread the disease of negativity in you and then this disease is hard to be cured.

I urge you to be what you are. Step out into the world by being the most authentic version of you. You'll be someone who can change the world. Because what I believe is, that if someone can change himself (accepting his flaws) then changing the world is just a cake walk for him. This is because the real enemy of us is "we" ourselves. Let me serve you with the best part, you know your weaknesses. So why not attack them and be victorious?

The government has successfully put up fines on everything that is fake, be it fake product selling, fake advertisements, fake marketing, fake prospectus of a company etc. Sadly the government couldn't put up fine on the one thing that is diminishing the value of our society, and that is Fake Humans. 

So does that give you and me a license to be fake?

No, it doesn't. 

It's the biggest liability on the whole community, if you're being fake. You know inside what lies you've told. You know inside what negativity you're spreading. Will you be happy from inside while doing so? I know you couldn't. Your inner self is someone you're afraid of. Our inner selves are the true souls connected to the God, and God never supports the fake. So why will your inner self-support you? Please give this a few seconds to think.

So, now ending our this conversation on a beautiful note :-

Love openly. Live fully. Kiss your loved ones passionately like there's no tomorrow. Be truthful. Be honest. Be funny. Be serious. Be happy. Be motivated. You have just one life. Why don't shower love and care wherever you go? You'll just get it back manifold. 

Stay motivated. Stay excited. Stay happy. 

How to be the real YOU ? (Part 1 of 4)

So the process of how to be the real you starts with this simple step.

STEP - 1: Defining yourself, that who you are?

There is something very funny about us humans. Whenever we’re said to talk or explain about someone else on the earth that we know, without even wasting a second we start explaining that person from our own respective point of views. But if the same question is asked again replacing the word “someone else” with “you” the same person who spoke at length about someone else, he’s now silent !!!Void ! No sound!

Why this happens that we are not able to describe ourselves in such a transparent manner, that we use that same transparent glass to look at the other person and assess him according to our own beliefs? 

Why does this happen that we have to think a lot to even describe ourselves in one ten line paragraph and we don’t even need a second to think and write about someone else that we know? 

Why do our minds need hard thinking to think about ourselves?

And Why do so easily thoughts flow into our minds when we’re said to speak about someone else? Why does this all happen anyway?

One simple answer for this is that the same way in which we assess others we usually don’t assess ourselves in the same way. Let’s do a small fun exercise. 

Write down the weak points of 5 people you know very well. Make short points. Take maximum 5 minutes for this exercise giving each minute to each separate person. Done? Now, on the same page please note down your own weaknesses. Can You? I guess you won’t be. Many people who are posed with this question are stuck. For some strange reason, we can’t do that. We are so much obsessed with the habit of blaming and ill-treating others that our minds, that we have become habitual to it. And when we ask our minds to say something about ourselves it has no answer. Yes, no answer comes up in the mind because we don’t even spend a few minutes to study ourselves and note down our own weaknesses and strengths. This is the reason that why am here to help you out. This is the one reason why this blog is here, enlightenment. Enlightenment of the inner you. Enlightenment of the genius in you. Enlightenment of the best version of yourself.

Now what I want you to note down, are your own strengths and weaknesses. But please, first of all, note down your own strengths and then your weaknesses. Yes, it will be difficult to note down your own weaknesses and bad habits. But, transformation of the world starts from one single man. All the great leaders till date had one thing in common, they were the fearless, powerful, determined titans of their fields. They all first motivated themselves that they can do it, then the world followed them. So, take the lead, start today and the world will follow you.

Stay motivated. Stay excited. Stay happy.

How to be the real YOU ?

Hello ! 

First of all, before we start talking about the matter that how to be the real you, I would like to pose a very profoundly simple yet a simply profound question in front of you.

How do you define yourself right now? 

Are you really being the real you?

Are you still that much excited and happy and cheerful that you were in the childhood? 

Where are your dreams that you had when you were a small child? Are you still having those dreams in your mind and are equally excited as you were in the childhood?

Obviously, we all are different,  so our reviews to these questions will be individual. I don’t demand an answer from you on this. You are your own biggest teacher and your own mightiest critic. Now I would like to suggest to you that you are very much human. Every one of us has millions of faults and millions of good things. If still you feel that you are having the worst problems in the world and they can’t be solved by anyone, then I request you to answer my this question. Are your problems bigger than the earth and the million of galaxies surrounding you? No? Then why to worry. 

Yes, they can be solved and they will be solved. Let the time do some magic for you. Many times we don’t know that from where the so-called “God Element” will enter your life and just whoosh away all your problems in your life with a magic wand. The only thing you need to focus is being the real you.

 God is a very choosy person. He doesn’t support or be there for those people who are always being fake. He is always behind those folks who know who they are and what they want in life. If you don’t know what you want from your life and where you’re going, then how will God know where to take you?

He isn’t the path giver, he’s the path clearer. He isn’t the lamp holder, he’s the guy who is holding the oil for the lamplighter. You are the person who is holding the lamplighter.

 You need to be the best version of you because of many reasons. The first and the foremost reason that why we need to be  the best version of ourselves is this: - TO HAVE AN IMPACT.

Impact, a very small word yet a deep meaning in it. Impact, in many instances, gets originated from competition among two individuals, where both of them try to have a bigger area of operation than his counterpart. I feel that this question has been in the air since the first time the human age got birth. And why should we not be having this question in our minds? If god never wanted us to feel the urge to be the best among all and to have an impact then he would have never given us the power to think this way. We all want to have an impact in our lives. We all want to be remembered when we’re gone because one day the BMW guy  will get buried next to the beggar and guess what, nobody would even give a damn. Am sorry for being a bit offensive but that is the truth of life. People only remember those who sacrificed something to gain the popularity they enjoy today. It just doesn’t take a fortnight to become a star in the eyes of the masses. Take anyone that you think about. Be it Madonna, or Lady Gaga, Pablo Picasso, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi or Messi. Few days back I read an interview of Messi and he said in the interview that the only reason he is a success is because he is a hard worker. In that interview he said “It took me 11 years of rigorous hard work to be the star that I am today”, he was 17 yrs of age when he gave his first debut.

You see, Messi knew where he wanted to go in his life from the starting itself, he had the determination and discipline and god continuously put the oil in his lamp. The only way to be the best version of yourself is by doing some introspection. Because when you’ll go deeply inside yourself you’ll see that you’ve a lot of qualities and faults. And believe me, it's very much normal because the only person who has no faults lies in the grave.

Ironical, Isn’t it? But that’s LIFE.  

So let’s start our journey from here itself. So, smile. Sit back. Let me have the opportunity to serve you with my ideas. Following this blog post, I'll be sharing with you 4 game-changing tips to amp up your game. Will be back soon !
