This is how to approach life

Listen up, and let’s get one thing straight from the get-go: Life is not a fairy tale, and it’s never going to be like one of those sugar-coated Dhar Mann videos where everything ties up in a neat little bow at the end. Life is hard, it’s unfair, and if you’re waiting for some cosmic justice to make it all right, you’ll be waiting a long damn time.

So, what is life then? Life is about waking up every single day and deciding to live it, not just exist in it. It’s about the grind, the struggle, and the constant battle against yourself. That’s right – the only competition that truly matters is the one you have with the person in the mirror.

Every day you have a choice: to stay stagnant or to improve. To learn something new, to push your limits, and to better yourself in some way. The competition with yourself is the only key to unlocking your potential. It’s not about being better than someone else; it’s about being better than you were yesterday. It’s about self-improvement, knowledge, and personal growth.

Life is what you make of it. If you choose to see the negatives, then negativity is all you’ll find. You’ll see the government as corrupt, people as selfish, and the system as rigged against you. Your world will be a dark, depressing place because that’s what you’ve chosen to focus on.

But flip the script, and you might see something different. Choose a positive mindset, and suddenly, things don’t seem so bleak. The same government might have flaws, but it also has people working to make things better. The same people you thought were selfish may show acts of kindness you never noticed before. The system, while imperfect, also provides opportunities for those who seek them.

Your mindset is the filter through which you view the world. If you focus on the good, the love, the beauty of nature, and the kindness around you, that’s what you’ll start to see. It’s not about being delusional or ignoring problems; it’s about not letting those problems define your entire outlook.

Life often presents you with choices, and sometimes, it’s between doing what’s right and what’s kind. Here’s the kicker: always choose kindness. Being kind doesn’t mean being a pushover or ignoring your own needs; it means understanding that everyone is fighting their own battles and offering compassion.

Unlike in movies, being kind doesn’t always mean you’ll get kindness in return. Sometimes, your kindness will be met with indifference, or worse, hostility. But that’s not the point. The point is that being kind makes you a better person. It makes you feel good about yourself, and it creates a ripple effect of positivity in the world.

Don’t trade kindness for the expectation of getting something back. If you do, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Do it because it’s the right thing to do. Do it because it makes you feel good, and that should be enough.

Here’s the brutal truth: life is all about you. It’s your journey, your experiences, your choices. You have to make yourself happy. No one else can do that for you. Throw away the negatives and focus on the positives. Live for yourself, not for others.

Share love and kindness not because you expect something in return, but because it makes you happy. This is your life, and it’s up to you to find joy in it. If you keep waiting for external validation or for others to reciprocate your kindness, you’re setting yourself up for a lifetime of disappointment.

Life is unpredictable. Things happen that are beyond your control, and that’s okay. Learn to embrace the chaos and find beauty in the uncertainty. Cherish the moments you have and make the most of them. Stressing about what you can’t control is a waste of time and energy.

Instead, focus on what you can control: your attitude, your actions, and your responses. These are the things that define you and shape your life. Accept that some things are out of your hands and let them go.

Let me give you an example to illustrate this point. Imagine you’re in a job that you hate. Every day you drag yourself out of bed and count the hours until you can leave. You blame your boss, your coworkers, the company, and maybe even the entire industry for your misery.

Now, let’s flip the perspective. What if, instead of focusing on the negatives, you look for the positives? Maybe this job is giving you valuable experience or a paycheck that supports your hobbies. Maybe you have a coworker who brightens your day or you get to learn something new every day.

You can also choose to take action. If the job is truly unbearable, start looking for a new one. Take classes to learn new skills, network with people in your desired field, and make a plan to transition to something better. Instead of wallowing in negativity, you take control of your life and make positive changes.

Every day, you have a choice. You can choose to be miserable, or you can choose to find joy. You can choose to see the worst in people, or you can choose to see the best. You can choose to be stuck in a rut, or you can choose to grow.

The power of choice is one of the greatest tools you have. Use it wisely. Don’t let life happen to you; make life happen for you. Embrace the journey, with all its ups and downs, and remember that the only person you need to be better than is who you were yesterday.

So here’s the harsh, honest truth: Life isn’t fair, and it never will be. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful. It’s all about your perspective and your choices. Compete with yourself, not others. Focus on self-improvement, kindness, and positivity. Embrace the chaos and cherish the moments you have.

Stop waiting for life to be perfect and start making the most of the life you have. Throw away the negatives, take the positives, and live for yourself. Share love and kindness because it makes you happy, not because you expect something in return.

Life is hard, but it’s also what you make of it. So make it a good one. The power is in your hands.
