Today I did a lot of thinking and nothing else. I happened to realise something. Fear is a form of inhibition. At least for people like me. I am at my best when I feel confident. I feel that I can be an achiever when I am free of fear and anxiety. It just consumes you and leaves you feeling so frustrated and out of control. In fact, it leads to all sorts of mental and emotional violence.There is one quote I truly connect with which says that the other side of fear is freedom.
The other thing I thought about was people. There are different kinds of people we come cross. There are some people who we may admire and this admiration may sometimes lead to ignoring their faults. We start liking some people so much that we conveniently abstain from accepting their negative traits. Later when their actions hurt us it hits us badly that this was partly our own fault. I think, over everybody else we must listen to ourselves. We talk about ethics and morality but so very often we forget that the basis of all this, is being true to ourselves. Nobody can be a better judge, we just need to find ourselves in the midst of all this confusion. Invest in only those relationships where people value you otherwise don't waste your energy and love on people who don't look back. That will help you grow as a person.
There are so many times that teenagers or for that matter even grown ups fall for the wrong person. We fall deeper and deeper into a pit of sadness and emptiness. It feels as though the other person can control us somehow with all their games and manipulation. Be strong. Fall down only to lift yourself. It is never true that you won't be able to find someone. Maybe you won't have that strong connection again but it is better to have a friend in your partner, who perceives how you feel and knows what you stand for.
Then there are those who never fail to irritate you with their banter and demanding tone. These people are those who like to be right always and you can literally never prove them to be wrong. I have only one thing to suggest. Stay away. Maintain some sort of distance from these people because they can bring out the worst in you. They are extremely intrusive and nosy as well which honestly sometimes makes me want to break their face but I try to keep it cool. Be nice to them but don't get too close my friend, trust me you will lash out badly one day.
Overall it was a lot of thinking and I realised must try and do some work or get involved with some activity because the only kind of work I am doing is mental. I want to be good and hope to spread the message of goodness. Think about how you can bring a smile to other people's faces and that will genuinely bring you happiness, pure childlike happiness.

Well said. Best gift you can give to yourself and others is forgiveness, which is not one time but an everyday practice. It helps to know that everyone is just acting from their level of consciousness and we can only control ourselves.
