Being - ''REALISTIC"

 So, here I was reading a book 📖 that I will definitely review after completing, and the questions in this book that has shaken me up. So, there was this question:

  1. How is being “realistic” or “responsible” keep you from the life you want?


Reading this shook me for a bit and made me realize that actually being realistic has really only made me ignore my creative side. As a kid, we are all this force to be reckoned with because we always question the system and the belief, we ask 'why' after every sentence, we become determined about creating this world in which we believe. We have this inner potential and energy to change the world for a better place, to search for the unknown, and to be unapologetic. We make many mistakes along the way but we easily accept them, learn from them and move on for the next new adventure.


But as we grow up we want to be this real person who has a decent job, a house and is settled for a whole life. I know it may sound great to some and even this idea is okay everyone has their own preferences. But I am talking about those daydreamers who want to travel the world and then maybe somewhere in the corner of the world find a place which they can call home because it feels like home to them and not because they have no options left. To have a job which they love and adore and can't wait to get started on it every day. The search for the true self. To go on this journey we have to be unrealistic, imaginative, and able to take risks.
   

What do you think the world would have been like if Nicola Tesla, Thomas Edison, and the Wright brothers were realistic? Take risks to say yes to those ambitions of yours, to those hobbies that you think you will develop later, trust me, at last, you will only regret why didn't you do it back then when it was just one step away.  Be someone who does not seek permission but if you mess up then simply apologize and move forward. Be imaginative and know that responsibility and reality will adjust according to you. Rather than being realistic, turn your ideas into reality.


 In words of the Will smith :

"Being realistic is the most common path to mediocrity."


So above all were my thoughts about what being unrealistic does to you and some quotations I absolutely love and adore.


This is my thought it may be different from yours but it is an idea. You may share your idea in the comments. Thank you for reading.

FINDING HAPPINESS IN LITTLE THINGS

Image
 It's so unique how we as human beings can portray our emotions in different forms and little things can make us feel so grateful and peaceful.     1. DRAWING AND COLOURING       So, this was when I was feeling very anxious about completing all my tasks and checking the monthly goals only to find that out of five major goals to achieve I have only completed one and it was devastating. It was taking over my performances and the anxiety was giving me a headache so to deal with all of this bottled-up emotion I decided to take a time off and sit and draw (which I can't even remember when I did the last time) and ended up making this Madhubani painting. Yeah!! It was just a simple drawing but the emotion I felt when I completed was something I can't express in mere words. First, after all the workload putting a tick mark on one of the to-do list items felt so good. Second, it gaves my mind peace ✌ for that one hour and forty minutes I forgot about all ...

THE FAST FASHION INDUSTRY

  The Dark Side of Cute Clothes: Unveiling the Fast Fashion Industry Ugh, another impulse buy from that online retailer? We've all been there. That trendy top for just Rs.200? So cute, and who can resist a steal, right? But have you ever stopped to consider the true cost of that cheap garment? The dark secret of fast fashion is that it's built on a foundation of environmental exploitation and unethical labour practices. Let's rip back the curtain and see what's really going on. The Trend Machine Never Stops Fast fashion thrives on one thing: keeping you hooked on the newest trends. New collections drop faster than you can say "FOMO" (fear of missing out), pushing you to constantly chase the latest styles. This relentless cycle creates a mountain of textile waste – clothes that get tossed after just a few wears, ending up in landfills and taking centuries to decompose. A Stain on the Planet The environmental cost of fast fashion is staggering. It's t...

This too will become a past and you will mourn it

Image
There's a peculiar weight that settles on my heart these days. It's a feeling that tugs at the edges of my consciousness, a subtle whisper that reminds me of the fleeting nature of now. I find myself mourning the present as if it's already a memory, grieving for moments even as I live through them. This sentiment, I believe, is not entirely unique to me. I have always been a nostalgic person living by pages already turned. But especially now that I have crossed the threshold from adolescence into adulthood. Growing up is a strange experience; you don’t realize it’s happening until one day, you find yourself on the other side, looking back and wondering where the time has gone. Suddenly, you’re another year older, and you're right in the middle of it all again. Over the past few years, many things have changed for me—mostly for the better. Yet, I still feel like I’m saying goodbye to a world that once felt so familiar, to a time in my life that was warm and comfortable. ...
