14 Non-obvious things that no one will tell you about the life

If putting the effort in is too tiresome, you don’t deserve the outcome.

There’s no such thing as called ‘perfect life.’ Flawed and fallible is the truth of our existence if anything.

The way to create a great craft is to express your deepest sorrows and harshest pains. None of this is romantic or fun, but that’s the price you pay for doing excellent work.

If you can’t do it yourself, you have no right to criticize someone else for doing that thing. Ironically, if you can do it, you’ll know better than to criticize for the sake of it.

If someone somewhere offering you a membership, it’s in their interest that you join them.

If the friendship is real, you should be able to tell each other the truth.

If you secretly hate yourself, it will reflect in your relationships.

You’ll ruin important relationships because of your stupidness and self-centricity. But that’s okay, you’ll have the choice to learn from your mistakes.

Life is a constant collapse of your imagination and every such collapse is going to be excruciating. But at the same time, it will keep your curiosity (for the truth) intact.

Everyone wants to feel important, and nobody is “wrong” for wanting that.

Everyone including yourself wants to put you inside a box, an image, a definition, a persona. Your ability to not identify with any of the boxes will take you far in life.

The world is like a mirror, it exposes you. Your fears, your insecurities, your intentions, your strengths, your weaknesses, and your character.

‘Insert your name’ doesn’t exist. It’s an abstract concept. And tells nothing about who you are. Except It’s a tool for everyone including yourself to communicate effectively. Your name is part of the language. That’s it.

The highest form of intelligence is the lowest form of intelligence. If you can look at a cup of tea and draw no conclusions about its history, structure, design, color, or meaning, I envy you. Because for you, a cup of tea is just that. You can see things as they are, not what you think how they should be.
