What lies in hindsight, is a bitter memory of a limited potential, and What lies ahead is a farfetched hope of unlimited potential. Just don’t fret — From the author .

IF you had asked me where I wanted to go a few years back

Or

as to where I wanted to be Or what I wanted to be as an Individual then that would have been a totally different answer altogether.

What moulds you or modifies your inherent being is a total different adventure. Don’t you think so?!

It’s just that sometimes you just don’t know what’s gonna happen..

Nobody knows..

It’s unpredictable…

You may doubt yourself in your journey when you hit a low phase which is likely since it might be your first time dealing with it. As every unsure thing is a new experience altogether, right?! So is dealing with it.

There are times when you don’t know what going to happen next.Whether the path you have chosen is right or wrong or You’re unsure of how things are going to turn up. Well, it happens this is what we call life. It’s full of life, vigour and it’s full of uphills and downhills. It has tons of surprises for you as well in its store. Just so you know at times you won’t have your best bud with you or your support system with you in your low phases but just remember one thing the low phase that you are in now is a short-term or temporary one. It will end soon. Just hang in there.

Tip 1 — Stop for a sec. Now, take a few steps backwards. Relax, take a breather. Breathe. Just Focus on your breathing.

Tip 2 — Take Note pad. Write down whatever you’re feeling at that moment.

Now, why I am telling you to hang in there — it is because I want you to know this phase has few things you should know about which you‘ll really like. Let me enlighten you since you have missed few points.

  • You have lost your clarity of thought.
  • Your judgements have become cloudy due to the phase you’re in now .
  • You definitely won’t see your minute scale improvements.
  • You are not reflecting on things.
  • You don’t realise that this phase has an endpoint.
  • You’re blaming yourself for not being better.
  • Either you make something of yourself or you get sucked in it and let it pass .(Upto you )
  • The fun thing is that you haven’t even realised it yourself.
  • You want to do something but you don’t know where to start.
  • You need someone to talk you out of it.
  • You need to write in a note pad to know the direction of thought process and objective of your thoughts.
  • Don’t forget it’s an experience that will pass on soon enough.
  • Whatever you do gets compiled even your thoughts and action. (So, Act Well )
  • Focus on one thing at a time and one day at a time. Don’t get overwhelmed .
  • Focus on the bright side as it’s likely that your focus will be more on the downside. Remember everything will compile.

Suggestion- Logical side in, emotional side out. They make things complicated. Look at everything from the third perspective and look at this from a retrospective point of views as well. That surely helps.

It came to you not because it wanted to act as an obstacle for you in your path but it has come for you so that you could develop the skills that are needed to sail in life ahead. You were not just ready yet bud. You had to learn some things here and there. You had to learn tactics to handle the emotional sentiments that you are feeling right now. You’re insecurities and self-doubt hasn’t left yet. I know for a fact that these moments of self-doubt is making you anxious right now. It will pass so will the time.

You’ll grow in the process. Since there is a developing graph on its way and you wouldn’t wanna stop there. Would you? Well, it’s kind of invisible right now but doesn’t worry it’ll pave its way when everything is in alignment. Oh, Well, you need to have some patience right on your sleeves, they are very handy I tell you. Your patience level should be about 98% and the rest 2 % you can go with being non-patience. That works for you right?! Even if it doesn’t you can definitely outgrow some. The thing about potential is that it can never be taken away from you or diminished unless you want to or it is constantly changing when it encounters challenges. It adapts, modifies and takes various shapes. It is endless. It doesn’t stop only humans do as they ceased to exist after some time . Don’t limit yourself and let your self believe that your running on low gas or fuel just because your fuel is a little bit different than the rest. You can definitely make it work . Even if your ingredient is petrol or diesel whichever it is — you can walk , run or even take a sprint .The path will align you to your rightful path. Whether it is right or not will depend on the work your putting your day and night in. If you reap the benefits of the consequences of your work it will definitely be right if you don’t reap its benefits than you haven’t worked as much as to get it. You have to work on it .

The raw you — stage zero

By raw I mean that version of you that has yet to go through the adventure of finding yourself out. The things you like or the things you hate or you have an interest in or disinterest in is a makeup of you in totality. It is in the developing phase as of now and taking its shape slowly. What is wonderful here is that your raw version is constantly changing. It’s a learning graph for you. It is not stationary.it is a graph of continual change and development. You have just started in this stage.

The developed you — stage 100

The developed you have gone through various uphills and downhills while he was on his path to reach the ultimate version of you. It was a series of choices that you had to take up to reach this stage of progress which was really difficult for you but you took it.Kudos to that! Your graph is totally moving upwards. All you have to do is wait for you to get your efforts to compile. And you’ll get your rewards. You have applied whatever you have learnt.

Stick to one thing like a champ and you’ll love the experience of just being in it. You would surely be overjoyed.

I hope, you have a great day ahead.
