Fear walls

By watedroplet

This topic is one of my favorite because I was full of fears before joining my first profession. I had doubt about what I would do after completing my high school. I feared what would be the outcome of competitive exams. What would happen if I could not make up the competitive exams?

The author learned it in his personal development program; that's why he disliked his schools. He says that the traditional schools produced A graders, and the rest all were a lump of fear. The schools taught me how to score marks and come first, but when it came to practical application, I was zero. One harsh truth I learned in my first job's first practical class was that all you have learned, you know not how to practically use in real life. I saw my other siblings, who were not A graders and good like me, but they practically applied these principles quite well in their lives. This was the turning point that told me to learn the things in such a way that you know how to use them in practical life. This lesson was magnificent. I never ever turned back to my old style of learning. 

This event in my life taught me that I became a slave of fear because I wanted to match the standards of this world, not my standard. When I wear a cloth, I have to see that it fits me, so why is there a double standard when it comes to studies? The way others understood the subject and topic may not be my standard of understanding. So, I took time to understand myself and my own standards of understanding the subject. It took me a while to familiarize myself with my new rubric, but it worked miracles. The things that I learn now are the ones that I can relate to, understand, and have a practical application for. This move of mine broke the walls of fears I had created around me over years, and now I see things not as a challenge but as a platform to explore and understand and work out miracles. 

This step is essential for one to reach their path of life because the path of life demands some unusual ways of executing things that only your brain makes sense of while others view it as a loss. Here you operate from faith, not from fear. I still remember my days when I used to be filled with fear, and nothing other than fear used to be in my mind. With fear gear on, I used to decide things that were mediocre or even lower than that. I could see the difference when I started to operate from faith. My world changed just because I chose to walk in faith.

Judgment fear

By watedroplet

  Reaching the end, now I have discussed with you everything we can do to show self-love. This topic will be incomplete if I do not discuss this one barrier, which has the capability to pull down everything.  If we have open wounds, we can dress and heal them; if we have ulcers, we can take care and medicine to get them healed; if a fire breaks out, you can call the fire brigade and help, but what will you do if you are judging yourself or you are being judged? Judgement fear is like a cancer that flourishes within no time. It ruins our self-confidence and self-esteem; it kills love and understanding between me and my inner self; it convinces us that self-love is not for us; it is a property of few.  The sting of judgment is poisonous. No one escapes it. I had learned how to fill myself with positivity; I knew how to keep myself charged and encouraged; I took good care of self-compassion and self-care. In this balanced state I fell into a situation where I offended one o...

Discovering my cooking mind

By watedroplet
Moving out of the house remains the biggest dream of everyone. Mine was the same. Studying in a college was quite good. I hardly remember missing my family. Getting a job was icing on top. Now life seemed settled. This was the moment when I felt relaxed and content. Then I started thinking about what to do next. My mother is a good cook. I always longed to cook like her, both creatively and tastily.      In my school days, I saw my friends cooking tasty dishes in sixth class, and I was nowhere. I also wanted to cook good food like my mother and like my friends.      I still remember the first dish I prepared. It was "aloo bhuji." I prepared three or four large potatoes. My potatoes were getting sticky to my kadhai, but still they were not cooked well. I put water on it, and it started sticking more. I have used more turmeric also so that I get a good yellow color. I also used more cumin powder.      My family members said it was okay, and whe...
