Thought Instrument

You won’t necessarily become great just by having a dream, but that dream of yours will allow you to have a direction in Life. Your dream will serve as the beacon of hope for yourself and the many others involved when darkness starts to engulf your inner thoughts. However, with nothing set in stone at the start, there will always be many obstacles that stand in your way. These obstacles will constantly attempt to stray you away from that very distant dream of yours. Hence, it is imperative that we prepare ourselves well in order to defuse such negative thoughts as and when they come. Oftentimes, our way of thinking is a form of habit. When we are faced with a seemingly unsurmountable challenge, it can be easy to suddenly fall weak on our knees and spiral ourselves into a negative thought cycle over time. Our minds often have this ability to reinforce these negative thoughts unconsciously once confronted with any resistance coming from us on trying to force them out. Negative co...

Imagine you are about to go on a date with your crush, and even if you have been busy the whole day and exhausted, you would still happily dress yourself up for the occasion just so you can fulfill this wonderful date that makes you happy. Just like setting yourself up with that lifelong dream of yours, you do not just kind of want to realise it, you are very determined to achieve it at whatever the cost. This cause of yours will get your adrenaline pumping, makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning to get on with doing that one thing without much hesitation. Simply because this is your Dream, your Achievement, your source of Happiness, and you could only wish you have 48 hours in a day to work so that you can bring yourself that much closer to achieving it. Many successful entrepreneurs probably do not have the luxury of sleeping six to eight hours every day, and have you ever wondered why they still appear radiant in front of the world everytime they step out? The ma...

Just because someone seems to be able to complete a task effortlessly, does not mean that he or she has not laboured hard behind your back. Sometimes, we tend to misunderstand many things on the surface because of what we do not see behind our backs. Whenever you spot someone who is in good shape, you might feel that this person is naturally born with it; whenever you hear someone who is fluent in a second language besides his or her native one, you might feel that he or she must have been educated overseas and have natural talent in the language; whenever you meet someone with achievements that are not befitting his or her age and experience, you might suspect this person must have got solid backing from the family or it is simply down to luck. You might feel that no matter how much effort you are putting in, everything just seems futile in contrast. However, for a person to achieve the kind of result that sets him or her apart from the rest, more often than not, boils down to...

The ending is only a brief moment in time, but your journey is something that will stay with you forever. Many a times, it is very easy for you to get upset when things do not go your way, sometimes to the extent of thinking you somehow just do not fit in this world. The other person’s path always seems to be smoother; the other person’s resources seem to be larger; the other’s person’s always seem to achieve the things they want much easier than you do. When your reasonings always veer toward your comparison with others, when will finally it be your turn? However, hard work is something that cannot be taken away from you no matter what. Looking back at the journey you have been through thus far, you would have known you are way stronger than you were before; you would have known you have grown far more than you imagine. Perhaps you may not have reached that destination that you originally wanted for yourself, but you would have seen and enjoyed sceneries nobody has ever experie...

The moment you have chosen to leave, your ensuing focus ought to be on how you should move on forward there and then. The moment you have decided on next move, you must never hesitate on going back. The moment you have made your choice, you must never think at any given moment if any other moves would have yielded a much better outcome or not. As a matter of fact, there is barely enough time for you to show reluctance in anything in Life. It is either you choose to do what you have always liked to do for yourself, or you like to do what you have chosen to do for yourself; and there is never a need to compare your choice with the choices of others, for there are way too many options to have in this world and you would have lost the beauty of its original intention after comparison. No one is perfect in this world, neither does the perfect choice exist at all throughout history. Moreover, you will definitely be able to discover the loopholes and find room for more improveme...

If you are someone who is afraid of confrontation and conflicts and would prefer to be the "good person" instead, you are setting yourself up in a very disadvantageous position. Why do some people prefer to play the part of the good guy? Why is it that being that good guy almost always entails self-sacrificing? In fact, c hoosing to stifle who you are just so you can please others often indicates an inability to be independent at the subconscious level. As long as you have established your own mental model and make a stand on your own, you would be able to stand your own ground to decide for yourself if "this decision is necessary for myself". Of course, there will be times when the judgements of others are against what you stand for. "Since both parties have differing views, we should then resolve this problem through constructive discussions." However, whenever someone else disagrees with the good guy's opinions, he or she often lack...

Whenever you feel stuck in a rut, you probably at some point would have asked someone else for advice on how you should proceed with your own Life from here. Oftentimes after hearing out from others, the majority of us feel we have remained stuck and would do pretty much nothing to salvage the situation. In other words, the underlying problem remains there unresolved. As time goes by, you realized you are left with little to no choice and eventually, the only option is to accept your fate and live the remaining days wondering all the what-ifs. Have you ever given yourself some serious thought on perhaps why the matters that cause your misery never seem to get resolved? I reckon the reason may be more simple than you thought: You do not wish to sacrifice or give up any of your curent benefits that come with your current dire situation; in addition to that, you demand and expect the situation to change in your favour just by waiting things out. ...
