Be your own star.




It has been such a long time since I wrote something.  "Well, speaking frankly I do not really have a lot of readers who might be impatiently waiting for my blogs".

Now these are the thoughts that I keep having. The other day I was thinking, “did I start writing thinking that I might end up with so many fans asking me to write regularly?"  Well, the answer was no.  So, since when did I start to think of the results before actually doing something? 
What often happens is that when a person begins to do something out of his or her personal interest,  at first there are chances he/she does the task  out of sheer passion but as time goes on,  if the same person doesn't get any criticism either positive or negative the motivation and passion that was present in the initial stages seems to fade away.  This is an absolute natural phenomenon. Expectation is an undeniably common human tendency. But then losing motivation and passion is not a good sign. 

Over the few days I can say my observatory skills have improved to a great extent (because having finished my exams I am absolutely free).  I have noticed that so many of us lack the motivation that we once possessed. This lack in motivation often leads to under confidence and laziness. 
There are so many ideas that I come up with to write about, but then because of the lack of motivation in me I have become under confident, lazy and forgetful. This means all the ideas that I come up with eventually vanish into the thin air.
"Why do I have to wait for someone to motivate me?” I ask myself.  We human beings always wait for a sign to do something. This behavior can be confirmed as laziness.  It is very unpleasant to hear but we need to accept our flaws.

Our conscious alone is enough to motivate us to an extent that we can achieve wonders. Thinking of the end result leads to distracting ourselves from the mission. When it comes to passion, one should always concentrate on the task and the method in which the task is being done. As far as both these go together properly, we do not have to worry about the outcomes.

I came up with the idea of writing this blog not to show it to people or to make fans (imaginary).  It is a genuine effort to motivate myself to never give up and to always run after my passion. I could probably end up with absolutely nothing by putting my thoughts out into the public. But it will surely help me build my confidence.

Confidence is built after putting in a lot of effort but it can shatter in just a snap of the fingers.  Your confidence might drop a hundred times a day but you can regain it only if you build it for another time by motivating yourself.

In the world we live in today, there are more people who will try harder each time to break your confidence.  So, you need to motivate yourself each time someone demotivates you. At the end of the day, to be a star you need to be your own star.
