A LETTER TO SELF

Dear Me,

You are a great and an amazing person. You are a bundle of talent and creativity. You have got the perfect face, hair, body, beauty. Don’t worry too much about your appearance. These are petite issues to which you shall definitely find a solution. You have to make an impression in this world by your deeds. You have to make your mark. So work hard towards it.

Don’t underestimate yourself. Be courageous and move forward in life. Don’t sulk around with whatever has happened. Past is just a story that we tell ourselves. Future is to be created and your life is in your hands. DO NOT let other people CONTROL YOUR LIFE. Do not let people decide what is good or bad, right or wrong for you.

Many people may come and go but the true ones will always stay in your life. Do not ignore your parents. You may find them annoying right now but eventually you will realise they were always right. Mom and dad always want the best for you. So love them. Love them unconditionally without any expectations.

Challenge yourself. Take responsibility. Set goals. Follow your passion. Don’t settle down until you find what you love. You are the only one who knows what you love and if you want to be happy in life DO WHAT YOU LOVE. It will give you immense joy. Don’t go chasing money. Let it chase you. Strive for perfection. Compete with yourself. BE BETTER TODAY THAN YESTERDAY.

Don’t be afraid to express yourself. Don’t be afraid to try new things. Don’t be afraid of people judging you. They will interfere time and again in your life. That is how the society works. Ignore them. You are what you think of yourself and that is what matters. Do not be afraid of committing mistakes. You will learn from them. Besides, NOBODY IS PERFECT.

Stand up for what you feel is right. Crying is not the solution to any problem, so don’t waste those precious tears. Speak up whenever you feel the need to. Don’t keep mum. Don’t expect people to understand you. You have to be vocal about your thoughts, emotions and feelings. Don’t ever wait for the right time. There is no such thing as the right time. There is only NOW. So do not procrastinate.

Each and every day of your life comes with great opportunities. Grab them. There would be downfall as well. Don’t be disheartened. Embrace failure. It is your stepping stone to success. Don’t waste your time sleeping, I know you love your beauty sleep way too much. But remember wasted time never returns. And besides when you are dead you have plenty of time to sleep. DON’T LET THINGS HAPPEN, MAKE THINGS HAPPEN

So wake up. Chase your dreams. Trust your instincts. Read more often. Learn something new everyday. Make new friends. Make your living worthwhile. Spread happiness and joy wherever you go. You can achieve everything in life that you desire, if you believe in yourself. Do not forget to love yourself. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Life is a beautiful journey.

And last but not the least NEVER GIVE UP! Always keep smiling!
