Nothing personal

My thoughts exactly, but by someone else. Easy and thankful pickings. Copy pasting as I received it.

Try not to take everything personally, things that people say and do, don’t always have anything to do with you.

Every time you interact with others, you have the choice to listen to, acknowledge, and let go of their words, or you can take what they are saying personally. Taking things personally is often the result of perceiving a person’s actions or words as an affront or slight. In order to take something personally, you must read negative intent in an individual’s words or actions. But what people do and say has no bearing upon you and is usually based on their own experiences, emotions, and perceptions. If you attempt to take what they do or say personally, you may end up feeling hurt without reason.

If you are tempted to take a comment or action personally, creating some distance between yourself and the other person can help you. Try to determine what is at the root of your feelings. Ask yourself if the other person’s words or actions are just reinforcing some insecurity within you or if you can really be sure that an offense was intended. You may even want to ask them what they meant. Finally, put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Instead of taking their words as the truth, or as a personal affront, remember that whatever was said or done is based on their opinion and is more reflective of what is going on inside of them, rather than having anything to do with you. You may have been an easy target for someone having a bad day, and their comments may have been offered with no ill intentions.

When you recognize that what anyone says or does doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with you, you will no longer feel hurt or attacked. While it’s easy to take things personally, you should never let anyone’s perceptions or actions affect how you see yourself or your worth. Your life is personal to you, and it is up to you to influence your own value and sense of well-being.

Tolerate

Wisdom comes at a price. Always. If you aren't hurt, you are missing something. You don't need to be hurt physically or mentally, there are other ways too. Just think it. But, do.

Its a cruel world out there. It be cruel to us, we be cruel to the ones we love the most.
It be unforgiving to us, we be unforgiving to the ones who love us the most.
It is a wise man who takes a deep breath, to every insult, every hurt, every hatred thrown at him.
It be a frustration, it be a pain, it be a lonely heart, it be a hungry stomach.
Breath in, breath out. How good it be if we just had a bit more tolerance.

Adele - Rolling In The Deep

There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark.

Finally, I can see you crystal clear,
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare,
See how I'll leave with every piece of you,
Don't underestimate the things that I will do.

There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark.

The scars of your love remind me of us,
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
I can't help feeling,

We could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
Rolling in the deep,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told,
But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn,
Think of me in the depths of your despair,
Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared,

The scars of your love remind me of us,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
I can't help feeling,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Could have had it all,
Rolling in the deep,
You had my heart inside of your hand,
But you played it with a beating.

Throw your soul through every open door,
Count your blessings to find what you look for.
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold,
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown.

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all.
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
It all, it all, it all.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me

But you played it,
You played it,
You played it,
You played it to the beat.

The difference between genius and insanity in measured by the resulting success or the lack of it.

Life is meant to be lived alone. The happier you are alone, the better. Get used to it. Everyone else's got their own life to live and no ones going to be around when you really need.

Some manage it by reading books, some by being with music, some by driving others do it by "Dhyaan." The sooner you face it and realize, the better. You are all alone. This is unfortunately not a tribe of a lion where there are mistresses like a harem and neither are you a King.

Be comfortable with yourself and you will avoid nightmares. Kill your mind and your heart will be at peace. Give it up to gain it all. Success is only how you measure it. Know it.

Why bother?

Jagjit Singh - Be sabab baat

बेसबब बात बढाने की ज़रूरत क्या है,
हम खफा कब थे मनाने की ज़रूरत क्या है.

आपके दम से तो दुनीया का भरम है कायम,
आप जब हैं तो ज़माने की ज़रूरत क्या है.

तेरा कूचा, तेरा दर, तेरी गली काफी है,
बे-ठिकानों को ठिकाने कि ज़रूरत क्या है.
दील से मीलने की तमन्ना ही नही जब दील में,
हाथ से हाथ मीलाने की ज़रूरत क्या है.

रंग आंखों के लिए बू है दमागों के लिए,
फूल को हाथ लगाने की ज़रूरत क्या है.

What is time?

Don't let big ambitions shadow small successes.

Time is the essence of your existence. Not in terms of your physical being but in terms of your actual spiritual existence itself. Its like, all the fruit basket is your to take - but when the time comes! Sounds like a shitty policy, I know, but its true. You didn't decide it, I didn't and no one else did either. Its just the way it is. People have lost ages since they tried to figure out the solution to this one. Oh, yeah! Ages.

Its all about when you give up and stop. When you realize its not actually the time which decides when you get what and when you achieve what, but other things which do that but time gets blamed. Seriously.

Time is one thing you should embrace as quickly as possible if you intend to stay the hell out of pains radar. Get it. Make your life easier.
