  • At the beginning of this post, I  want you to know that I  always wanted to write about something I am good at and here it goes...Most of the people I know are too busy to read my blog. I don't even know if anyone would read it. I would love to share my feelings about life with everyone. Life is a mystery, don't waste your time to find out, yet we all want to know more about life. What is life? -''Some would say life is no more than fate, '' some would say it's difficult to find out.'' some would say life is about living and enjoying, it's not about questioning or finding what is it? . and some would say life has no meaning at all. scientists would say life is consists of a living cell.   

  • When  we talk about human life :

  •   In the moment of conception, a sperm fertilizes the egg,its the start of a new life,after 9 months     we born, day by day we grow up, we learn to talk ,we learn to walk , of course our parents, our relatives  teach these things to us, at the age of 4 or 5 we are admitted to go to primary school, then at the age of 13 we go to high school, from now on you start to make friends ,girls make friends with girls and the boys make friends with boys, then at the age of 18, we go to college, now its time to choose our stream--1. science, 2. arts, 3. commerce and many more. now we will be asked especially by our parents what do we want to do in our life?. This is a tough question for those who have not yet decided his or her aim or goal,or in simple word what does he wants to do to make his living .sure it is a hard question, in this age [13-25] a boy or a girl  wants to become many things , when he watches a film he wants to be an actor, when she sees a magazine she wants to become a model, sometimes we want to be a doctor .sometimes a singer ,sometimes a scientist,sometimes a engineer ,sometimes a writer ,sometimes  a pilot. At last  we all get confused, though some of us  get to know what does he really wants to become , and its not because of he is too intelligent, but its because of his courage to dream , and not only to dream but  to follow his dream with his willpower, honesty, and courageous and peaceful  mind and a fearless heart and  a sound body. If you think you want to be a successful, rich,  happy and healthy person and you also want to marry someone you love! well people say that you can't have it all, but that doesn't mean you can't have anything, at least you should try to have work you love to do. You can get anything you want, I wouldn't ask you the most famous question " what do you want in your life ?", of course, that is a tough question, I guess the question is hard to answer because its not 'the ' proper question that should have been asked. 

  • The question should be like this " what are the things you want to do in your life ?" because we all need many things in our life, everyone has a different list of things he wants to do.

  •  We all have a list of interesting works in our mind, where we put, our interesting works. In this 21st century, there are thousands of work fields, for that reason a great confusion has formed in the minds of young adults. If you are confused about finding work, that you are truly interested in, then its time to free yourself from your doubts and confusion, which are causing only stress, worries in your life. So, its time to check your list, where there are many works that you find interesting, and now you are confused. One thing you should know that among the different interests you have, one is true interest and others are not true.

  •   How to find out the true interest and the false interest from that list? The answer is that if your interest is true, you will work hard on the subject to know more, but for you, it would only seem fun work and easy. And if you are not working hard in the subject, and if you are having problems in concentrating on the subject, then your interest is a false one, and you will have no benefit to keeping interested in that subject anymore. 


  •   To be honest with you, for me writing is like drinking water, I can't believe sometimes it's so easy to write. To find work that you find it very easy, exciting and makes you happy every time you do it and that keeps you happy for a long time. As time passes, I find writing a fascinating work and believe it thrills me from the feet to the brain. I love writing, watching films. Watching the film is for me like the food of my mind. If I don't watch a film, if I don't write, I feel so heavy. And you know it very heaviness in mind only cause stress. So when I write I am only concentrated on writing, nothing else bothers me. It's like I am totally get dissolved in only writing.

  • So the field of work where your mind works amazingly, where your mind is at calm and heart is satisfied,  the subject of work, where your mind gives you abundant good ideas, is the work of your true interest or passion and that is the work you should do. Because when you do work of your interest, there will be no other thoughts that will disturb or distract you. When you are doing the work you find interesting, nothing distracts you and when you are doing something that is not an interesting subject for you, you will find yourself, yawning, getting bored, getting distracted every minute. It always happens in the class, where the teacher is not teaching the subject interestingly, students find it boring. There is a saying that interest is the mother of education. So, if you want to an educated person, find the subject that holds all your focus. Its important to listen to your own heart, the choice of the subject must be taken by you, do not listen to your parents about this and don't follow the popular trend also.

  •  You are alive now, that is a great fact, do not take it for granted. Each moment, you can start doing the work, you want to. The purpose of our life is to search in our within who we are really? When you will know yourself, you will know your abilities well, and you will do the work, that you are good at. So, never stop learning about yourself. To know who you are in the oldest piece of advice in philosophy. Socrates said that 2399 years ago to know thyself. If everybody have known who they are and what they should perform in the stage of word, our human life would have been more peaceful. 

  • Find work, that you are truly interested in and you don't have to worry about anything in the world. Most people in their young -adult age, do not ask the questions -Who they are? what work they are truly interested in, etc.

  • The best way to find the work, your true passion or interest. You have to study the subject related to the work, you see, every work has a theory to read about. To become a businessman, there are books about business, to become an actor, there are books about how to act,. to become a philosopher, there are books to read. Even if you hate to read books, there are multiple ways nowadays to learn about any subject. In the subject you are spending most of your time, is the work of your true interest.

  • Notice, what do you do every day. Answer what is the subject or work, you think about every day. What is your dream?


  • Do you have many dreams? If you have, you will get confused, about what dream to follow in your life, obviously, it is hard to follow every dream. But you can achieve your dreams one by one. It is very important to complete, what you are already doing now. You should not jump around from one work to another, because if you do that, you will never do any work properly in your life. Every work needs your total concentration, if you focus on one subject at a time, you could do many works any life, and you could even achieve more than one goal in your life.

  •  Many people says to find a goal , find a destination , well I say make a list of things you want to do before you die, because my brothers and sisters you got only one life, don't try so hard to find your ultimate goal, because that doesn't even exist, more you try to find your meaning or your goal or destination, the more  you get depressed  & stressed. In simple sentences, don't try to find your goal. Because if you really want to know what should be your goal, the answer is simple and you already know it!  At first, you need to have a hobby, Your hobby is what you love to do in your free time. If you don't have any what then think what would you like as your hobby. If you want your life to be exciting then you must find work that you love to do. If you want to find a work that makes you happy then answer the questions ~ what do you do now in the free time that makes you happy, and all your worries disappear, what kind of tv show you watch? , which page of a newspaper interest you? What kind of magazine you read,  what kind of people you believe as great people? everything you think or do is telling you what you love to do. Know your interest, not others.  Be confident about what you believe as a great work because you know yourself more than others. that's why it is very essential to know yourself. If you want to find true yourself, do what you love, do what you believe as a  satisfying work. You can't love your work unless you do what you love to do. Its time to believe in what you love to do not to get confused by the random opinion of others. Your life will be filled with the pleasure of happiness and satisfaction, which is regarded as the highest level of success. Improve your workday by day and be master of the work you do. Don't worry about the money, it will flow to you. Just be the champion of what you love to do! Don't try to adjust yourself where you don't belong. Find the joy in your life doing what you love to do.

  • Some question you should ask yourself now - 
  •  Name a great man, you want to become like? What is his field of work? 
  • What do you do as a hobby?
  • What did you wish to become when you were a kid? 
The work, you don't any reason to do, is the work you are born to do. If you start to ask for reasons why you are doing what you are doing, that doesn't only mean that you are a very curious person. I think that, when you love something, you don't question why you love it? Do you? If you need reasons to do something, it is because you are not enjoying what you are doing. Ask, any great scientist, writers, singers, painter, filmmaker, actor, the question of why they do what they do? They all would say that they can't live without doing their work, they say it's their life. Such passion for work is what makes them great. My point is, do the work, you love. When you do the work, you enjoy every moment of doing it. First know who you are, what kind of thinker you are, what kind of body you have. 





AFTER 8 YEARS
11/6/19

After 8 years of writing this post, I know that I was being cocky at that time, I thought I had the answer, I thought I would be writing every day, but I didn't, I kind of stopped writing after a while, it's not I was bored, it's just wasted my time on my distractions. 

Social media addiction has been a great problem for everyone who is aspiring to achieve great success in any field, social media creates huge distractions and our dopamine rush keeps on edge for a while, but  at the end of the day, social media steals time that you could have used for your hobbies and  dream projects.
Recently I have been away from social media apps like Facebook, whatsapp and Instagram and it had been proved to really good experience for me. I am not saying I will never use these apps, I just want to take a long break.

If you want to get rid of social media addiction, you might want to check this post...



I have to admit now that even though I had that strong desire to be a writer, even after, I have published no books,it's just that the part of me that wanted to be a writer had been lost for a couple of years, the strong sense of desire had been lost for a couple of years.

I now realize that having a goal is no way enough, it takes effort regarding the goal you have, the bigger the goal, it requires more effort, without the goal, you have no direction, and without the movement in the direction towards your goal, it's obvious that you are not going to reach your goal by being standing still.
