Don’t degrade yourself to impress others

Since the day we are born, our whole life is focused onto impressing others. From our childhood we are taught to fit in the ‘SOCIETY’ we live in.  Sometimes, we are not free to follow our passion and cannot do what our heart wants just to fit in Societal norms. We are very much bound in the fetters of society.  If we do something different from perceptions of the community then we will be isolated from it until and unless we prove ourselves.

World only salutes the rising sun. Some  of the people think that only women suffer from the boundaries set by the society. Well, that is not true! Women suffer, so do men. From initial years of their life, boys are told have control over their emotions, not to cry in front of others and always be available. I’m not talking about feminism and patriarchy here, that’s not even the topic, all I mean is not to give special privilege to a specific gender.  Well, coming back to the topic, give your time to those who really need you, but always beware to not get used by someone. Having faith in yourself will give you courage to do what your heart says. In the beginning, everyone will surely criticize you but once you achieve something, the same criticizers will appreciate you. They will soon start following you and this is the reality that has been happening since ages. All we have to do is focus on our goals and put efforts to make our wishes come true. Last but not the least is not to waste your valuable time to impress anyone except yourself.

Life is yours and so, you are your own leader.
