Being independent.

“THE ONLY PERSON YOU DESTINED TO BECOME IS THE PERSON YOU DECIDE TO BE –RALPH WALDO EMERSON”

Hey everyone! Hope you all are happy and safe!!  I will ask a brain teaser in the end of the article (don’t scroll now). Let’s get started with our topic! So  today let's talk about being strong, able to take decisions on your own, taking a stand for yourself. All of these qualities we need to adapt for a better and happy living.

All of us need to be independent mentally ,emotionally , financially , and should be able make decisions on our own. You might wonder why is this necessary? Let me explain:                             

All of us have friends , best friends and friends who are more like a family but at the end of the day it is only you who is responsible for your actions. It is on you whom you choose to be your friend or best friend . Every decision of yours must be firm and you need to abide by it. We have friends who give us advice, at times they work and at times they don’t but the final decision must be your’s because it is your life and only you have the rights to have control over it. 

Let us understand how can we do that.Moulding yourself is a primary thing which we need to do.  Firstly your mind needs to be clean i.e without any negative thoughts or bad vibes. It also includes you shouldn’t recollect your past and crib about it. Let it go. To let all of this happen you have to meditate on a daily basis. Keeping yourself busy is also going to help you get rid of your thoughts. Go for walking and breathe in fresh air. Spend time with yourself analyise on your thoughts. Think if it is worth about spending your time thinking about it. Try solving few riddles or practice aptitude. Keep your mind happy and focused always!

DON’T OVERTHINK!!!

A great man said our problem depends on how we see it. No matter what the problem is it all depends on how you think about it. No problem is big or small it also depends on how you handle it, every  human has problems in their life, few deal with it, few try to runaway from it, the best solution for it is to face it. A study from UC Santa Barbara suggests that thinking too much about something leads to poor judgement and decision-making. And poor judgement and decisions, can be harmful and even lethal in some situations. ... Overthinking, especially when our moods affect our thoughts, impacts our normal functions. The bigger problems you face , the stronger you become! God sends the toughest problems only to those whom he know can deal with it and who are strong enough to face it.

TAKE DECISIONS ON YOUR OWN!!

When you take decisions on your own, there is always a thought in our mind. Our thoughts determines our action. whenever you have a thought, there is a corresponding chemical reaction in your mind and body as a result. This is important to realize because it means that what you think can affect how you feel. And by the same token, if you are feeling poorly, you can change that by changing how you think. It all depends on you but remember not to depend on anyone too much. Even if you take advice, make sure the final decision is yours!

Here’s an example on how and why we need to be mentally strong.

We all like cold drinks right? But why is a drink called cold drink? Why not simply as drink?

The drink is addressed as cold drink because a drink tastes better only when its served cold. Each ice cube added to the drink should be like the problems in your life. In a glass of cold drink you need to add atleast 2-3 ice cubes to taste better. The more chill it is, the more it tastes better. The same way, the more problems you solve and move on, the more happier your life will be.

You also need to be financially strong!

I only have this to say, the one who doesn’t have any debts is the richest!!
