When you experience phases of life that fuck you up and shatter your confidence, darkness spreads all around you. Then, your only option is to go deep within, find a meaning to live, and become your own light. So that you can ward off the darkness that's consuming you.

No one will give you a chance if you keep waiting for your turn. You have to ask for what you want.

The fruits of a tree fall only when they’ve ripened. Similarly, we can’t let go of people, emotions, and relationships just by letting go. We let go when we’ve accepted the changes with passing time.

There comes a saturation point where you’ve had so many failures and rejections that you stop taking it personally.

Alone is when you want to recharge your batteries.
Lonely is when you feel unloved and you feel no one understands you.

Giving away kindness is the best to live your life. That kindness will not only come back to you multiplied, but you'll also be deeply satisfied when you start helping others.

Even though you feel like you lost a lot of time and you’re no longer in your 20s, start today. Because the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

A lot of people are lonely in our over-connected world. Yes, we push others away because we don’t want to be hurt anymore.
But we get unlucky sometimes and have no one to talk to.
So, be kind when a friend calls you after a long time. However, don't do it at the expense of your own sanity.

A lot of our problems would vanish if we stopped getting distracted — learning & planning to solve our problems on our phones and the internet —and instead focused on finishing the work that we had started.

Fighting multiple enemies at once means death — both in real life and video games. I forget this simple rule & start multiple projects at once, get overwhelmed, and end up doing nothing. So, my solution is to run away from these tasks, take rest, recover, and then annihilate them one by one.

Introverts may not seem to live an interesting life. Because they don't talk much or participate in social activities.
But trust me, in their minds, they live 10 different lives that are much more interesting than the lives of many great men and women.

We may philosophise all the philosophies, but we rarely value who and what we have. We realise their value only after they leave. Probably, one of the biggest tragedies of human beings.
