Towards a ‘less-criticizing’ me.

Everyone, at one point in our lives must have indulged in this habit. It is very common as well as fatal, that we often neglect it due to its ordinariness. Criticism is a very powerful weapon which can be used to tune a person towards greatness. But when it is used very frequently, it may make a person view themselves so trivial that they voluntarily disable themselves from their actual potential. As long as I can remember, I have always criticized myself for both my success and my failures, to the point that it becomes difficult to distinguish what is right and wrong.

The world is full of people to criticize our every moves and comment on our single action. So why should we bother ourselves and add burden to ourselves more. Thus, on this forthcoming new year, I wish to address this issue of mine so publicly that similar others, who suffer from same situation as me, can relate with me and get the necessary aid they require. Because when we degrade ourselves more, the self becomes more vulnerable and loses faith in itself.

Mental health matters. So I pledge to be the ‘less criticizing’ version of myself in the year to come. Hope I can carry it forward for the rest of the year.

Hasta La Vista !

Unwinding.

One day, I was posted with a question of whom I hate the most. When I was racking my brains out to give an answer, I actually found that I had no names or persons popping up in my mind. This really fascinated me. It is inevitable that people end up getting hurt and sour inside when things turn out in an unfavorable way. But when you think whether you really hate them or not, you realize that you hated the person in the situation, but not the person itself.

Thus, such a simple question like that started to unwind me. Do people really hold on to grudges or do they simply let go and move on ? Well, that may depend on the person and the situation that they were put into. So I would suggest that it is best to forgive and let go. Such that you would lead a more contented life, rather than cussing and showing hatred for another and hurting self in the process.

Wouldn’t it be better to have a happy reunion rather than cold greetings during accidental bumps in future ? It all depends on one’s temperament and willingness to climb out of past, rather than crumbling into the pits of endless misery. So, with the end of this magnanimous year, let go of grudges and embrace the new year with a clean slate.

Hasta la vista !
