If the world stop you watching tomorrow
would you still live the same life ?
Think about it …
Most of us are not living
we are performing
we perform confidence
we perform happiness
we perform success
and the saddest part
we even do not realize we are acting
From childhood , we were rewarded for approval
good marks ? Applause.
good behavior ? Praise
good salary ? Respect
Slowly our brain learned something dangerous
Love must be earned
so no we chase it
Through clothes
Through status
Through social media
When was the last time you did something that nobody would clap for ?
When was the last time you chose yourself over validation ?
Impressing other is not confidence , it is fear
Fear of being ignored
Fear of being judged
Fear of being not enough
We do not speak our truth
We speak what is acceptable
and slowly…
we disappear
The truth is this:
The world will never be satisfied
If you are simple , they say you lack ambition
if you are ambitious , they say you are selfish
if you are silent , you are weak
if you speak , you are arrogant
so why are we exhausting ourselves
trying to win the game that has no finish line
Let me leave you with this —
Imagine a life
where you don’t check who is watching.
Where you don’t measure your worth
by someone else’s reaction.
Where you don’t need applause
to feel valuable.
That life is freedom.
And freedom begins the day
you stop trying to impress
and start trying to understand yourself.
