10 reasons We Get Scared in Life

1. We get scared in life because we do not know for sure how we got, where we have got in life. So we do not know how to get it again, if we lose it. “I want to join this mediocre MBA school, because I am scared I won’t get in anywhere else.”

“I want to say yes to this toxic relationship, because I am scared I won’t get it again.” “I want to say yes to this shitty job, because I am scared I won’t one again.” Make the effort to understand what got you to where you are. Even if you got there by luck.

2. We get scared in life because we assume on behalf of others. And we think they will always react in the worst imagined scenario in have in our head. “I can’t tell this to my parents because I am scared they will disown me.”

“I can’t ask this question publicly because I am scared people will laugh at me.” “I can’t reach out for help because I am scared people will think I am weak/incapable.” If it is important for you, ask. Do not assume for someone else. Let them answer if it’s important for them.

3. We get scared in life because we do not attach probabilities to events in life We think all events have equal probabilities. “She hasn’t answered my phone. Must be busy/dead/hurt/not-interested/angry/ignoring.”

“If I quit this job then I will be poor/unhappy/laughed at/rejected/judged/misunderstood/banished.” “I better complete this task. Else I will lose/be fired/scolded/compared/reprimanded/demoted.” While everything can technically happen, the probability varies dramatically.

4. We get scared in life because we compare ourselves to others. We feel we are losing the race of life and someone else is winning. “She is making so much more than me. I am scared I am already late.”

“How are they so confident when asked something? I am scared I will never be that smart.” “Look at how happy they are. I am scared I will never have that in life.” If you have to, be scared that you are the same as you were yesterday. That is the only worthy comparison.

5. We get scared in life because of the damage we have been through. We think our past will continue to determine our future. “I am scared I will never be able to trust anyone else ever again.”

“My first manager’s treatment scares me of every manager now.” “I am scared my childhood trauma will never allow me to be normal.” What happened to you was not in your control. The choice to heal yourself is yours.

6. We get scared in life because we stopped questioning. We were told the world behaves in a certain way and we accepted that to be the only way. “If I do not get married by XXX, I am scared I will never find anyone.”

“If I do not earn this much by this age, I am scared I will never be successful.” “If I do not get into this college, I am scared no good company will ever hire me.” “The rules of the world were designed by people who were, at an average, no smarter than you are” - Steve Jobs

7. We get scared in life because we do not know ourselves. We rarely spend time with ourselves. We are always with someone or something. “I am scared of what I might find, if I hear myself.”

“I am scared of what I might tell myself.” “I am scared of what something someone says, will do to me. Why am I so fragile?” If you truly know yourself, no one can ever defeat you mentally or emotionally. Because everything becomes a fact. There are no opinions anymore.

8. We get scared in life because we want everything. We never really know what is that ONE THING that we truly want. So we run after everything. And we can never get everything. “Even though this job pays me well, treats me well, nurtures me, I am not happy. I don’t know why!”

“I am scared I will find that ideal partner I am looking for.” “I am scared I will never be that friend who is funny, smart, has money, is fun.” If we do not know what is it that we truly want in life, the next best thing we want is everything. And wanting everything is misery!

9. We get scared in life because things didn’t work out for us. We feel all that effort was wasted. And we don’t know what else can be done. “I gave it my all and it still failed. I am scared to try again.”

I did everything that I could and yet it didn’t work out. I am scared there must be something wrong with me.” “I am scared to get up, because I don’t to face dejection again” Life = what we do + circumstances that we had nothing to do with

10. We get scared in life because of others. We don’t fear failure. We fear what people will think of us when we fail. “Everyday people laugh at me because I took the unconventional path by choice, and failed at it.”

“What if my startup fails. Other founders will call me a loser.” “I am scared if I am still single at 30, people will think there is something wrong with me.” We can either accept the world’s definition of success. And live their life. Or define our own success and live ours!

My Virtual Friend went through a really tough time in life. And early on, indirectly, he taught be the most valuable life lesson. Risk and failure is a state of mind. It cannot be measured. We define it for ourselves. That is true for fear as well.

There is no measurement of fear. We all have our own yardsticks and our reasons. Overcoming fear starts with acknowledging where it comes from. What scares us in life, lies within us. And if we dig deep to discover where it lies, we have a shot at finding why it lies there.

Being brave isn’t the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it. - Bear Grylls

21 Harsh Truths 2021 has already taught us......

There are many hard-working, passionate, helpful, generous people who the world will never know about

While they are there, we won't spend time with them. Once they are gone, we spend time regretting the times we did not spend with them.

Some people will never help you regardless of what you do. Some people will always help you regardless of what you do.

Leadership is all about trust. Trust is not built when things are going great. Trust is built when things are hard and yet they show up.

No one cares about your words, until you show results. No one cares about your results, until it benefits them.

People will always behave in whatever manner best suits them. That means some of them will benefit you. And some will harm you. That is just the way it is.

The relationship you thought you always had, is truly tested when you spend 24x7 with that person, with their thoughts, with their ideologies, with their biases. That is when some of us realize there was never a relationship!

You may be the richest, the happiest, the most ambitious or the smartest. If you body doesn't work, you are nothing!

We are the first to close our eyes to the reality, because the truth is unsettling. We fear the truth. We love the lies. Lies comfort us.

It is not the most thought-through plan that wins. It is not the most detailed plan that wins. It is not the most ambitious plan that wins. It is the plan that has the agility to change itself, when required, that wins!

We all think we have time. We have less time than we think we have!

We are slaves to our screens. The toughest person to spend time with, is our own self. We are scared of what we might discover. We are scared of what we might tell ourselves.

The world is more good than bad. But good rarely makes news. Because good is everywhere. The news focuses on the bad. Because bad sells.

People could be smart. They could be well meaning. They could be capable. But if they lack focus, none of it matters!

There is no worse feeling than the feeling of helplessness. There is no worse person than the one who makes you feel helpless

You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice. - Bob Marley

Just like you can't keep bad people from harming the world, you can't keep good people from helping the world.

Everyday, the numbers we read are just data points on an excel sheet. And then one day we are that data point on an excel sheet. Everything changes. In that moment.

Despite every damage, every hurdle, every hurt and every tear, the world moves forward. Because of hope.

2021 is turning out to be a tough year. And extremely tough year. It is in those moments of grief, despair and hopelessness that we will find a new us. This period will change all of us. Make that meaningful...

21 Things You Were Never Taught in School

1. Investing Basics One way to build wealth is by investing in the stock market. Some ways to invest include: - Invest in low-cost funds - Automate your investments - Invest in passive index funds Anyone can invest, you don't have to be a Wall Street hedge fund manager.

2. The 8th Wonder of the World Albert Einstein once said that compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world. Compound interest will work for you, if: - You invest early - You invest consistently Compound interest works only if time is on your side.

3. Critical Thinking Never accept what your teacher, professor, parent, boss, etc. tells you. Think critically, think boldly and question everything. Be respectful of what you are told, but always employ a certain sense of skepticism.

4. Failure is Part of Success School teaches you that failure is "bad." Through failure, you: - Grow - Learn - Thrive - Change Failure and success are parts of a whole.

5. Your Network is your Net Worth If you want to get ahead, you have to network. Benefits of networking: - Brainstorming - New opportunities - Building your reputation Your network will open doors for you that you didn't know existed.

 6. How Taxes Work Taxes and death are a constant in life. You pay taxes when: - You earn money - You start a business - You make purchases You can decrease how much you owe on your taxes if you contribute the areas which a 55year old 9-5 Job holder also don't know...

7. How to Handle Emotions Our emotions often drive our behavior - which can be detrimental to our financial picture. Emotions can drive our: - Purchases - Investments - Business decisions Don't invest or buy on impulse. Control your emotions before they control you.

8. Cultivate Creativity "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited" - Albert Einstein. Imagination and creativity, on the other hand, are unlimited. The greatest thinkers achieved success because they thought outside of the box.

9. Degrees Don't Matter A degree doesn't guarantee you a successful future. Here's how you can be successful: - Keep learning - Find a mentor - Build a network School is important, but it's not everything.

10. Money Isn't Everything Money certainly gives you peace of mind, and to some point, a sense of happiness. However, your life shouldn't be about money. If you want to feel rich, then consider the things that money cannot buy.

11. Avoid Credit Card Debt Credit cards are dangerous if you don't know how to use them. With credit card debt, you run the risk of paying 20% or more in interest. To compare, in the stock market, you only earn an average of 7%. Credit card debt is the enemy of wealth.

12. How to Pay off Credit Card Debt If you do have credit card debt, there are 2 ways to pay it off: - Snowball method - Avalanche method Snowball method = pay off the smallest debt first. Avalanche method = pay off the debt with the highest interest rate first.

13. Understand Life Insurance Not all life insurance is created equal. Term life insurance is cheap and it often works for young professionals. You may need life insurance if you have: - Kids - Debt - Dependent spouse Remember, life insurance death benefits are tax-free.

14. Cultivate Entrepreneurship In school, we are often taught to be excellent employees. We are not taught how to be excellent employers. Your income potential is limited when you work for someone else. If you become your own boss, the world is literally your taking.

15. The Value of Showing Up You cannot win if you don't show up - consistently. Especially on the days where you don't feel like working toward your goals - that's when it really matters. Showing up is part of your success.

16. Cultivating Resilience In order to win, you have to bounce back from obstacles. In order to thrive, you must adapt to survive. There is a reason why winners never quit and quitters never win.

17. Your Habits Determine Your Future The small habits you do daily will determine your future success - or lack thereof. Remember that your daily habits determine your future success. "Every action you take is a vote for the person you wish to become"

18. Listen, Don't Always Speak There is a reason why you have 2 ears and 1 mouth. Listen actively when someone speaks to you. Don't just listen to respond. Listen to understand.

19. EQ vs. IQ School teaches us about IQ - the Intelligence quotient. We aren't taught about EQ - the emotional quotient. IQ = Intellectual ability EQ = Emotional intelligence Often, EQ is more important than IQ, especially when you become a leader and must work with a team.

20. Cut Out Negative People School doesn't teach us much about relationships - which ones to keep and which ones to avoid. Identify toxic relationships and cut out the negative people. Foster quality relationships over quantity relationships.

21. The Growth Mindset Stanford Professor Dr. Carol Dweck researched 2 mindsets: - Growth Mindset - Fixed Mindset Growth Mindset = Intelligence can be developed. Fixed Mindset = Intelligence can't be developed. A growth mindset helps you reach your full potential

conspiracy theories..

It's hard to blame people for believing dumb conspiracy theories about the powerful, considering the fact that proven conspiracies by the powerful are usually a lot worse. The conspiracy of the US power alliance to slaughter children in Yemen and lie about it is far worse than all the QAnon stuff, for example.

Corporate media propaganda is another example. Wealthy elites and government agencies are indeed conspiring to manipulate the thoughts of the entire population; this is a fact that has been studied and documented for decades. It happens in a mundane way, but it's a huge, creepy conspiracy. I mean, just think about it: powerful elites are engaging in mass-scale mind control to justify murder and genocide around the world. This is a fact. The only reason it doesn't give people the thrill of 5G nanobot mind control conspiracies or whatever is because we're used to it.

If everyone could just truly see the empire and what it does with fresh eyes, just the verified facts that we know about, they'd tear it all down bolt by bolt. That's why so much energy gets poured into ensuring that they don't see it.

People keep waiting for a big reveal, for some investigative journalist or leak to expose the abusive dynamics of the powerful. Thing is, that already happened: there's enough public evidence already. It's just that people can't see it with fresh eyes. That's what we need to change.

The big reveal already happened. If there was some massive WikiLeaks drop or whatever ripping the veil off all the ugliest secrets of the empire, we'd still have what we have now: a propagandized populace ignoring all the mountains of evidence for horrific acts of the powerful. The problem isn't getting the information, the problem is getting people to actually look at it. That's what I place my emphasis on: finding new ways to get people to look with fresh eyes and really see the ugly monster that's right in front of their face.

❖

Our priorities get skewed by the way the powerful think in global mass-scale terms while normal people don't. Even well-intentioned people think police violence is more of a problem than war, or that lockdowns are more dangerous than brinkmanship with China, because it's something local that can affect them personally.

This is just a product of normal human psychology. If I'm a store clerk I'm unaffected by things happening on the other side of the world, so I don't think about them. If I'm a war profiteer or empire architect those dynamics affect my bottom line, so I do think about them.

Capitalism Rewards Sociopathy: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix

You can tell how backwards our society is by how much easier it is to thrive in it as a sociopath than if you have any other serious mental disorder.

If instead of money our society valued connection, emotional intelligence and empathy, people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder or other severe psychological issues would get all the support and care they need, while sociopaths would flounder. It would be a handicap instead of an advantage, because attributes like compassion and vulnerability would be valued instead of the willingness to do whatever it takes to get to the top no matter who it hurts.

A highly emotionally conscious world is what we should all want, since most of our world's problems are ultimately due to the fact that people without functioning empathy centers in their brains get to the top in the way we have things set up now. If we become deeply caring and healthy, sociopaths won't be elevated.

❖

Capitalism is like polyamory; sure it might work okay for some people, but generally the ones who reap the most rewards from it are those who don't care about other people's feelings.

❖

Introducing SlaveApp, the app that summons a criminally underpaid individual to provide whatever service you want.

SlaveApp: You Know It's Wrong, But God It's Convenient And Affordable™.

❖

Biden was appointed to get things back to normal, but there can be no "back to normal" for a dying empire in a rapidly shifting global paradigm. You can tell by how hard they're having to work to spin this desperate, ridiculous clusterfuck as a normal presidency.

❖

All the fangirling over Jen Psaki is getting really gross. She's supposed to be charismatic you dopes; she's responsible for managing the perception of an entire empire. The world's most destructive government having skilled perception management is a bad thing, not a good thing.

❖

US presidents always get praise for the small smattering of half-decent things they do, but no blame for the far, far greater mountain of evil things the US empire does during their presidency. People look at the everyday butchery and oppression of the empire as normal, required stuff.

When you try to inquire as to who is to blame for all the everyday evils of empire, the wars, sanctions, oppression, exploitation, propaganda, authoritarianism and ecocide, you can't get any straight answers. It's widely thought of as something that kind of happens magically, by itself.

And that's just so revealing, for a civilization which prides itself on its respect for the individual to refuse to place any blame on any individuals responsible for the worst crimes being committed on our planet right now. Individualism is for the little people.

It's hard to blame people for believing dumb conspiracy theories about the powerful, considering the fact that proven conspiracies by the powerful are usually a lot worse. The conspiracy of the US power alliance to slaughter children in Yemen and lie about it is far worse than all the QAnon stuff, for example.

People keep waiting for a big reveal, for some investigative journalist or leak to expose the abusive dynamics of the powerful. Thing is, that already happened: there's enough public evidence already. It's just that people can't see it with fresh eyes. That's what we need to change.

The big reveal already happened. If there was some massive WikiLeaks drop or whatever ripping the veil off all the ugliest secrets of the empire, we'd still have what we have now: a propagandized populace ignoring all the mountains of evidence for horrific acts of the powerful. The problem isn't getting the information, the problem is getting people to actually look at it. That's what I place my emphasis on: finding new ways to get people to look with fresh eyes and really see the ugly monster that's right in front of their face.

❖

Our priorities get skewed by the way the powerful think in global mass-scale terms while normal people don't. Even well-intentioned people think police violence is more of a problem than war, or that lockdowns are more dangerous than brinkmanship with China, because it's something local that can affect them personally.

This is just a product of normal human psychology. If I'm a store clerk I'm unaffected by things happening on the other side of the world, so I don't think about them. If I'm a war profiteer or empire architect those dynamics affect my bottom line, so I do think about them.

How to deal with REJECTION?

Understand it's part of your life, you can't run from it, people gonna reject you the moment they meet you.

CAUSE (why you feel it) You deriving your self worth from what they think about you, their thinking about you is affecting what you think, and your mind is biased it always works to feel you superior to others.

WHAT to do

 1) Take it as REDIRECTION let go of what they think about you and derive it from your inner self, I am worthy of myself, I don't need others to feel my worth.

2) Stop taking everything personally People don't know what they are doing, they are projecting themselves onto you, everything they do is not about you, they 'DON'T EVEN CARE WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU.'

Question - “What kind of people should I have around me?” 

 Answer,-  “Your circle must have people who inspire you otherwise you don’t have a circle, but a cage.”

7-Steps To Become A Better Decision Maker

1. Learn to say “No” One of the best decisions you’ll ever make in life is to start saying “no” more often. People often feel entitled to say yes to tedious demands that they don’t really want to do... Truth is, life is too short to do things you don’t like. Just say “No”!

2. Identify your bad habits Everyone has bad habits, it’s part of being human. The first step to fixing it is first acknowledging it exists. Once you know what you’re up against, then you can find out what’s triggering it. Fix your bad habit at the root of the problem.

3. Always have a plan Having a plan of action is a crucial part to making successful decisions. Without a plan of action, you have no direction. You’re like a chicken running with his head cut-off. Collect info & create a flexible plan. Failing to plan is planning to fail

4. Keep an open mind & remain emotionally detached An open-mind is important for decision making because you need to examine every possibility. Your biggest downfall will come when you think you know everything. Having an open-mind will ensure you never overlook anything.

Remaining emotionally detached is also important. Why? Because emotions effect your decisions making process. Staying detached will allow you to think clearly & make an objective based decision that will bring the best outcome.

5. Be confident in yourself Making good & fast decisions stems from being confident in yourself & your abilities. The only way to be confident in yourself & your abilities is to put the time in & perfect your craft. Experience is the best teacher.

6. Understand that there’s not always a “right choice” Sometimes as leaders/decision makers we’re put in tough positions. Our choices are not always black & white. Sometimes we’re given a selection of shitty choices that all lead to terrible outcomes.

In this case, there’s no “right choice”. You just have to use your knowledge & discretion to figure out which option will cause the least damage. It can be a tough decision, but these are the ones that help you grow the most.

7. Ask for advice Like I said before, good & quick decisions makers stem from confidence. Sometimes the best way to master your craft is to seek guidance from someone who is in a higher level than you. They’ve gone through tougher experiences & have more refined skills.

It is the perfect opportunity to learn from their mistakes so you never have to make them yourself. Learning from others is one of the fastest ways to progress.

7 habits that changed my life in less than a year

1/ Respect your sleep Sleep is like a recharge for humans. The moment you start respecting AT LEAST 7h of sleep, your daily life improves dramatically. Your mood, your energy, your mentality, everything is influenced by your sleep.

2/ Drink water Start drinking water as soon as you wake up. You will immediately feel how your body feels better. Whenever you feel tired or feel like snacking, drink water. Most of the time you are just dehydrated.

3/ Practice gratefulness daily Every day, as soon as you wake up, write down 5 things you are grateful for. If you want, do it also before going to sleep. You are setting yourself up to be happier just by spending a few minutes a day.

4/ Make your bed It's a very simple habit but one that has a HUGE influence throughout the day. If you start the day winning, even if it's something as small as making your bed, it will turn into bigger wins. Win the morning, win the day.

5/ Train your muscles Lifting heavy weights. Practice a sport. Walk. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you do it consistently. The more you do it, the more it will help you in the future. Get fitter, be healthier.

 6/ Review your thoughts I never knew I needed this habit, and yet it is perhaps the most important one Every once in a while, I do it once a week, give yourself 10 min Review what you think about most of the time. Review what you consume on a daily basis That's how you grow

7/ Practice kindness Some people think it's just one action, it's truly a habit. Treat people with respect. Have manners. Set your boundaries. It costs $0 to be kind. Practice it daily.

There are basically three ways to destroy someone's image.

1. Attack their competence: Show the audience that your subject doesn't know what they are talking about. Show them your subject's incompetence by pointing out incoherences in their speech. By attacking competence, you point out the lack of legitimacy.

2. Attack their Character: Show the public the antipathic part your subject's character. Highlight their arrogance. Highlight their lack of ethics. Show the audience that what your subject is doing doesn't come from passion, but, from greed.

3. Hit under the Belt:

 Show the audience parts of the intimate life of your subject. Everyone has dirt, everyone has had embarassing moments in their private life. Make that public.

9 steps to find yourself

1) Prioritize alone time.

lone time is very powerful and the first step towards finding yourself again.

Solitude separates people from all influences and allows them to fully be themselves and focus on their own thoughts, needs and wants.

Find some alone time daily. Focus. 

2) Purge your thoughts.

Allowing thoughts to come to life via journalism, drawing or talking to others is the easiest way to rationalize them.

Take time daily to focus on thoughts, so identifying your core needs can become possible.

Focus more on understanding your thoughts. 

3) Focus on your top 5 core needs.

Everyone has wants and desires, but needs are different.

What do you need in life to be happy?

Find these things and plan your life around them.

Anything more is extra. Your core needs will define your life. Seek them daily. 

4) Think about what you want out of life.

How often do you really think about what you want? Just you, with no outside influences...

It is time you started ignoring people and finding yourself and your wants.

Take a deep look inside and focus on those wants. Identify them. 

5) Embrace your authority in life.

Understand you are in control of your life, no one else.

You decide your thoughts, your actions and everything that happens because of them.

Instead of seeking validation from others, seek validation from yourself.

6) Explore and identify your boundaries.

Routines kill more people than anything else.

Routines prevent people from finding their passions.

You need to branch out and try new things to find yourself and your passions.

Challenge yourself, accept change and find the real you. 

7) Remove negative influences from your life.

Negative thoughts and influences eventually become negative choices and actions.

8) Connect with your spirit.

The core of finding yourself is simply being yourself.

To be yourself, you need to first stop thinking/trying to be someone else.

It sounds simple, but in reality it is one of the most difficult things to do.

Focus more on you and less on others

9) Find your wildness.

Wildness is what is true to you.

Your energy is real and will define you to your core.

What excites you? What drives you? What fuels your soul?

Search for these things daily.

Unleash the wild within.

Unleash your soul.
