Why choose the tough path

Why choose the tough path !!

       The path of least resistance often leads to the destination of mediocrity, while the tough path,                                        though challenging, leads to the summit of excellence.


If you are a JEE (or any other competitive exam) aspirant in class 11th/12th, your brain is surely ongoing with a heavy workload. You have to work hard 85-100 hrs. per week in any condition. You have to control your instincts, stay at home and study. When you’re motivated studying is easy but when you’re not motivated it’s too tough to live a life in which you pretend to show others that you’re studying but in reality you know in your mind that you’re wasting your time, even when you know that you have to work hard only for a year or two. Well, most students are regularly motivated by their parents/teachers/videos etc. The thing which happens is that when you’re in coaching, your teacher is giving you a speech for motivation, at the time of listening you’re like “Aaj to bahot padhai karunga, bas ab decide kar liya”, but you go home procrastinate your thought to Monday or any special day and it all vanishes. Well, everyone knows that the main source of distraction is the phone. Of course, you’re reading it on your phone. Just the same way when you open your phone or PC to study but some other windows open, some other apps open, no one is there to stop you, you’re enjoying too and now you have completely forgotten about that motivational speech….. 

Well, this was a small part of the harsh reality or you say thoughts of a JEE aspirant.

Now some time to motivate:- 

One day I was playing a game in class 11 and my father saw that, he didn’t say anything but well, of course, I cried as I broke his faith in me but that’s just an anecdote to make you realise that how much faith your parents put in you and you break their faith. That same day I said to myself that:-

Ab bas 2 saal h, to get in a better college it all depends on me, agar me game khelu ya movie dekhu, it will give me temporary pleasure, which is temporary and of no use but if I work hard for right now it will give me temporary unpleasure for 2 years but it will soon turn into permanent pleasure. Well, everyone's main goal is to earn money, it’s the truth if you don’t believe this then you’re dumb, everybody wants money and respect and for that, you will have to sacrifice your desires and work hard.

                                                                                                                                                                   -Ojas Jain

Life Is Short, So I Choose Happiness

Life is short, and I genuinely feel that life is all about being happy. The basis of life is to be happy, and everything else just revolves around that. We are told to eat healthy food, exercise regularly, and stay fit. But why? It’s not just about being fit for the sake of it. We need to stay fit for longevity. If we are healthy, we can enjoy more, do more things, experience newer things, and eventually be happier. Apart from health, there’s money. And let’s be honest, money is a necessity in life. You can’t survive without money. If you don’t have enough money, it’s not impossible to be happy, but it definitely becomes difficult. Money allows us to experience new things, enjoy life more freely, and reduce unnecessary stress. I also believe that we should sometimes eat ‘just tasty’ food (in limit). Because that’s also another kind of happiness. Life shouldn’t feel like constant restriction. Failures are inevitable. They’re meant to push you towards greater success, not break you. So t...

Tug of validation

Tug of validation Listen to the audio first(Not mandatory though) Rafi sahab's voice echoes, "he banane sanvarne kaa jab hi mazaa, koi dekhne vaala ashiq to ho". Rafi sahab once said this line with such ease and charm, but if you listen closely, it’s more than romance. It reflects something that all of us feel deep down: The joy of doing something often depends on someone watching, noticing, and appreciating. That line, from the song “Badan Pe Sitare Lapete Hue,” beautifully captures what we call validation. Validation is the feeling of being seen, heard, or understood. It’s when someone says, “Yes, I get you. You’re right to feel this way.” It can come from others (external validation) or from within (self-validation). And whether we admit it or not, most of us constantly look for it. Even me. Even this blog. Somewhere deep down, I’m writing this for validation too. To be understood. To be felt. To be seen. Let’s be honest: validation feels good. It motivates us. It make...

God and the Subconscious: Two Paths to the Same Inner Power

No one has ever truly witnessed the existence of God. As science has advanced, many natural phenomena once attributed to God—such as lightning, disease, and even the creation of the universe now have scientific explanations. Yet, the majority of people continue to believe in God. Why is that? Let’s take a moment to explore this in connection with the subconscious mind. Books like The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, The Secret, and The Power of Positive Thinking emphasize how powerful our subconscious mind truly is. They suggest that when we focus our willpower and vividly imagine having achieved our desires, our subconscious mind drives us to take the actions necessary to make those dreams a reality. In my opinion, we can draw a parallel between the subconscious mind and God. God is often perceived as the entity with whom we can share anything, and ask for anything, without hesitation. When people pray or ask for something with strong intent at temples or other places of worship, the ...
