🤔
If you overthink, this is for you.
I received this email recently:
A woman had trouble sleeping.
Couldn’t shut down the brain.
Tried acknowledging her emotions and speaking to her family.
But couldn’t figure out what was keeping her up.
I asked her, “What usually occupies your mind?”
“Job search, loan…
It's hard to pick priorities in life because we have limited time like personal health, career, mental peace or good money."
To which I replied:
“You are worried because you want everything in your control.
And you want everything to work out.
And you want every person who knows you to be happy with what you do.
But the reality is:
1. You control only a small part of your life.
Realising this sets you free.
2. Everything will not work out.
And is not meant to work out.
Life is the sum of small things that work out, not one big thing that works out.
3. People, just like you do, react to the moment.
They cannot always see beyond the moment.
So it's possible that in the moment, they will be unhappy, disappointed, angry.
But that doesn't mean they will always remain that way.
Set yourself free.
Life is not a perfect picture that needs to get clicked in one go.
Life is a jigsaw puzzle of that same perfect image.
You have to fit the pieces one by one.
You won't get it right the first time.
But you will get it right eventually.”
Your mind matters.
