Chicken-Hearted

It's been ages since I sat down to write something. Brave-Hearted, having a brave heart i.e. having or showing mental or moral strength to face danger, fear or difficulty. What is chicken-hearted? It is kind of an antonym of brave-hearted, cowardly; easily frightened. Shouldn't we be talking about being brave then?  People all around the world try to motivate you through quotes, speeches, stories. But most of them try to empower you with positivity. Rarely do people talk about the negative feelings in us. Why not empower with positivity through something that is negative. The universe does attract the opposites, right?



They say all it takes is one person to believe in you. But at times in the phases of life, even though there is more than one person who believes in you, do we have the same belief in ourselves? Some instances in life break our faith in ourselves. We start doubting ourselves. A sense of fear instills. You really judge yourself whether you could achieve what you want to. Starting something in life always makes you think about the negative outcomes more than the positives. Even though there is a 50% probability that you will succeed, you always fear the 50% failure. 

But if we look at the broader perspective, constant failures in ventures of life kind of break you. Never give up, have patience, think positive, etc. should always be the motto of life. And many people would suggest you the same. There is always light at the end of the tunnel, how long is the tunnel, no one knows. It is just a phase of life. All we can do is give everything and just keep expecting something good might turn up. 

This post is kind of a reflection of me at this point in life. We know what we have to do to overcome it, but we are clouded by the fears that instill us. There must be something in us that makes others believe in us. If you are a fan of reality TV shows, you might have probably heard about the show, America's Got Talent (AGT). I have been watching the latest auditions, and there was this who was 11 years old playing the violin. His story had a sad starting but he found his peace in music. There is something in everybody's life that gives us an inner peace that gives us the strength to fight back. Fight back hard.

Broken Boundaries

Broken Boundaries Boundary: A line that marks the limits of an area; a dividing line Countries have boundaries. States have boundaries. Individual homes have boundaries.  Humans? Do we have any boundaries?  Yes. A line that separates us from the rest, is kind of a boundary. The line that our family draws for us is a boundary. A line that the society draws around you is a boundary. Economic status draws a huge boundary around you. Many of these aren't something you can change a lot but, the line one draws around themselves is totally under their control. This boundary one creates can actually change the ones that were once not in your control.  Comfort Zone This is the only boundary we draw around us. Emotionally, mentally and physically. A nation's boundary imparts a feeling of safety for the citizens. Similarly, we create the boundaries where we feel safe. We do not want to get out of the safety of our comfort zone. Is it a bad thing? Not at all. You ar

How much can you have?

How much can you have? Hello, everyone. I am back after a long time. I was preoccupied with a few things. So, what is this post about?  As the title says, how much can you have? How much of anything could you have in this world? You sit down at the dinner table. The table is arranged with more than 5 delicacies. How much of the food can you have?  Only as much as you can. You visit the mall to do some shopping. How much can you buy? Only as much as your wallet can allow you to. You are driving down the road and your fuel meter hits low. You visit the gas station. How much fuel can you have? Only as much as the capacity of your fuel tank. These are just some known things that we face every day and no one gives a thought about it. I came across this quote while browsing the internet, The ocean is huge but we can only have as much water as our hands can hold.  You can only have as much as you can or should have. The world is an ocean of things. But you can only have

Pain and Sculpture

Pain and Sculpture Hello everyone. It has been a long time since I posted something on my blog. I  was seeking for motivation to write something. I have been through more than 50 documentaries during the past 2 months trying to find any kind of inspiration that I usually tend to.  I was watching a famous event for the automotive world called GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED. It is an annual event where different kinds of cars are showcased and run over a hill climb course. The cars date back as long as 1903 to the future autonomous race cars. While I was watching these cars go up the hill, there was this small Formula 3 car by Billy Monger. Looking at the car you wouldn't know what the story of this kid is unless you are into motorsports. Formula 1 had its fair bit of safety record after the death of the famous Ayrton Senna on the 1st of May 1994. Until 2014, there were no fatalities because of accidents on the track. In 2014 Jules Bianchi crashed into a crane that was clearing o
