I want to keep this page a running page of realizations and thoughts that I am learning about myself and the world. I am updating this every time I have some insight/ learning
- World is a mirror. Assume 100% responsibility. What you do is what you get
- You are the worst enemy of yourself. Thoughts are transient, just keep going and do not let them paralyze you
- I had this realization while I was in a doctors’ conference in Arizona – I wanted to speak to one of the renowned physicians and I was preparing myself for it. My internal thoughts were making me scared of rejection. Thoughts paralyzed me on approaching him on day 1 and day 2. I was noticing this consciously. Day 3 was the last day of the conference and somehow I gathered the courage to approach him – the immediate response I got from him was that he will find me after lunch to talk. I got demotivated and internal monologue became negative – as if a parent shouting on their child. I was blaming myself. Lunch got over and surprisingly he approached me and it was one of the most helpful conversation I had in that entire conference. Later, I was reflecting on this and realized that my internal thoughts were convincing my of the reality that was not there. Since then, I push myself to not take everything my brain convinces me seriously
