  • Self Sabotaging Behaviours

    Self sabotage(self destruction) is a product of unfamiliarity, no matter how good the unknown is we will feel a sense of unease until it becomes familiar. That’s why it is hard to start something new!

    We have a system of resistance for the unknown.

    We are programmed to seek what we’ve known.

    Even though we think we are after happiness but actually we are chasing whatever we are most used to.

    The first step in healing anything is taking full accountability.

    Sometimes we develop a fear within ourselves of things that we know are not going to happen, these are irrational fears whose chances are least to become the reality.

    Deep within we know they are not going to happen,these fears are safe to dwell on.

    So in that case instead of wasting our energy in pondering about these worst case scenarios, we have to consider the message of that fear in our life.

    For instance if we fear about losing a job or getting low grades , the fear might really be the idea that you aren’t worthy of another job or you don’t have the guts to learn from your mistakes and make improvements in life. It could be our fear of failing which is not letting us take risks and in turn we lose lots of opportunities because of that fear.

    If we can identify what we want to protect,we can find healthier and more secure ways to do it.

    There is a secret message behind every fear.”

  • When Paper Rules

    Look at how fragile you are! Easily torn apart.

    Yet, the ego you hold is monstrous and unacceptable,

    You twist the heart of one who holds you,
    turning him arrogant, boastful, and heartless.

    You have become the measure of a person’s worth,

    You sow hatred among friends and kin.


    You make them kneel and beg at your feet.


    Yet you are nothing but paper .

    And the one who is blind in your love will one day lose their own self,

    But the one who knows how to control you can make you a useful jewel,

    Bringing glitter and spark in the lives of others as well as their own.

    -A letter to Money

  • A letter to “Mind”

    Sometimes you work in inverse relation to my efforts to be calm,

    And in that process of opposing my efforts,

    You are harming and degrading your own cells,

    Why can’t you understand that I prefer peace rather than chaos ,

    Inspite of trying so hard, you aren’t letting that one moment of pain vanish from my memory,

    Don’t let your ego of ‘winning the argument‘ destroy your own self this time,

    Dear Brain please be merciful for your own sake.

  • Scars of The Star

    Don’t reach too far to touch a star,

    Learn to dance in the moment,

    To enshine your spark.

    You will soon realise,

    That the glitter your eyes perceived

    Was nothing but a cloud of illusion.

    Reality reveals it’s a ball of fire,

    That, when approached too closely,

    Leaves endless scars.

  • It’s Courageous to be Normal

    When Feet start paining,

    When eyes turn red,

    When frown isn’t ready to leave your head,

    Acknowledge that it is not the pursuit of superiority ,

    It’s superiority complex.

    To be honest everybody wants to get successful in this world and there’s nothing wrong in it as well, until the term called “at any cost comes within it”.

    This Life is not a race , it’s a journey of ups and downs where we learn a lot by making mistakes sometimes and try to correct them at other times but the option we don’t get here is ‘Quitting’ .

    Recognition from others is a part of Superiority complex where we lose our freedom of living our life for ourselves and even lose our identity just for the sake of being someone whom other’s want , then in this course it’s not we who are living but an image of illusion created by society.

    Which is just like a cup of Coffee, in which some prefer extra sugar, some prefer extra milk and some like to take it black.

    So according to Adlerian psychology “contribution to society” is no doubt an important factor for giving meaning to life but that contribution should not be based on the factor of recognition from others.

    In fact it’s not a Give and take relationship of contribution, it’s a relation of giving for your own peace and happiness.

    True Freedom is in acceptance of who you are!
