Afraid of Success

What’s the worst thing that can happen? Travel and end up in North Korean Jail? Limited water, limited food, limited life and plain struggle? But I’m not afraid of that. I’m afraid of instant success, luck and gratification. What if I’ll win a million dollar and everyone around will love me, give me everything I […]

Avoiding the Downfall Chain

I was about to not write anything today. I’m very sick. I can barely lift my hands and fingers to type this. My head hurts as hell. I had severe stomach pain last night and today I woke up tired and without energy. I should be taking rest. I have been writing everyday and I […]

Handling Things That Are Out Of Your Control

Most of the time, we blame luck if something we anticipated doesn’t occur. For example, you didn’t win the competition. You didn’t get good grades. Your trip was cancelled. It’s an easy excuse. I used to do the same. I’d either blame luck or blame some external force which I had no control over. It […]

Not Waiting for the Perfect Condition

You build habit by doing something constantly, but if you bring in any factor to stop the consistency, then you’ll never be able to create a habit. I have been using weather as a factor to stop me from doing my work. If it’s stormy, I wouldn’t go out and run even if I have […]

Mark of a Failing Newbie

If someone asks me lots of precautious question before starting something, I automatically assume they’ll not succeed. It’s simply not the way how successful people approach their goals. Instead of taking lots of precaution before starting, or not starting at all, it’s always better to start right away and learn along the way. Asking lots […]

What I Learned by Publishing Blog Posts Daily

I had mission to blog everyday last month. I completed it successfully. You can check the archives for the month of February. I didn’t even miss a day. When I first started blogging, I’d label a day for it. I’d only blog on Friday, once a week. It was my schedule. When I tried blogging […]

The Snowball Effect

When you sleep, breathe and eat with just one goal in mind; the probability of success increases drastically. And when you keep performing a particular activity all the time, snowball effect occurs. If you keep working as a painter, you’ll meet lots of people related with painting. You’ll have solid base of networks with painters […]

Celebrate Small Victories

Some years ago, I wished to have my own blog. But I couldn’t afford or pay for the hosting and domain because I didn’t have Credit or Debit cards. Nor did I have PayPal. It was extremely difficult to pay for hosting and domain. And even if I could, it was pretty expensive for me. […]

Say NO Often: Pissing Off My Own People

“I need to get my laptop fixed. Could you help? I’m sure it’s easy for you to fix it.” “Sure”, I reply. I leave my work to go and help them. The whole day goes by. — “Hey I need to go to ………. Could you please drop me there?” “Umm, Ok”, I answer. I […]

Just Get it Done

I am very tired right now. I barely woke up to eat my lunch. After that, I’m here writing this, even if I don’t want to. I walked for 4 hours straight inside the temple in the outskirts of Kathmandu. Some years ago, I could walk for 4 hours without any problem. But since I’ve stopped […]
