I was going through a lot of things lately, thinking why do I have to deal with all this, but the more I looked around, I figured out that it wasn’t just me.

Every person has been dealing with this, and anyone who’s reading this has gone through it whether now, or during some point of their life. It forces me to clarify about the fact which is omnipresent in our life.
Just so much pressure the society puts you in, its unimaginable. The things one has to endure during one’s life. There are just so many things to be done with such meagre amount of time left in a person’s hand. Each person we see around us, has been going on a journey of their own, devastated by the destruction they have had to live on with.

Yet we see everyone smiling throughout their day, It’s all because they believe. Its belief which leads us to the great things in life. Thomas Edison believed he could do it, we have the infamous light bulb now. Bill gates believed he could create something, here we have one of the biggest companies in the world.
But we never entirely understand what we are capable of, and there’s no denying the fact that the world is a mean place. Every other person we meet might try to take us down. Even after so many millennials have passed, the saying still goes on. “You gotta kill before you be killed.” I abide to that.
Everyday is different on its own, you might try to live it on as the day it is. No matter how bad you want to die as the days pass. When you finally end up on your deathbed, you’re going to regret the fact that you didn’t take the decisions you wanted to. It’s far more painful to regret not saying things over the ones you did. Simply because of one thing. What if. And that what if slowly consumes you.
We don’t want that, life is not about what if’s. It’s the 21st century, we have much more things to deal with, and a what if can be dealt by just going for it.
There are many ways you could do it which I learnt during my study on this topic.
Either you could go for 1,2,3 rule. You get a thought, you count till 3 and you go for it, no regrets, immediate actions.
And if one might say its far more complicated than that, there’s the 70% rule. You can’t wait for the time to be perfect, because it never really will be. You need to be sure, if you’re sure about it a 70%.
Go for it. History supports this in every way.
You don’t need to follow it, its just a way to portray what was to be done, has to be done. We need to clear of our habits and comfort. “Humans are creatures of habit”, no denying that. But what we have to do, is go on and go for that motive of ours, no matter what.
