Life will be so much nicer in this way ; it will be so much more interesting when you finally realise the need to live for yourself.
Some insights for me yesterday when I read a book online, by Alden Tan, named "Revive Your Life".
Mainly focus on how you can change your life and make yourself happier than anyone else on earth by altering the way you treat yourself.
"The lacks of confidence, living aimlessly, irrational fear, low self-esteem and worry about what other thinks of you" ――"Revive your Life" Alden Tan
Wait...! Aren't you talking about me?

1. You make your own choice, this is your life, this is you.
- Unconsciously, we are living in a world where we live for others.
- We follow the norm ,which is definitely normal for human as to stay alive, so we stay normal, follow others' ways of life.
- And we are now actually living their life and not yours.
- We listen to others more than listening to ourself, we live up to stay under expectation of other, to impress people.
- The dangerous part is we never realise we are living such life.
2. Passions
- Passion is not just a hobby, not something hard to find, and not a problem if you are not good at it.
- Passion is the power, the energy that keeps you going
📷- You keep going because you love it, nothing can stop you.
- This is the thing that gives you your confidence and leading you to where you want to go, hence you are no more aimless, not anymore.
- With passion, you will less likely to care about what other think of you.
- Possessing passion, you' re no longer normal, not abnormal yet, but special, it is not a forte, but an identity for you, and from here you have your self-esteem. So do what you love to do, as long as it is right.
3. Why ridiculously care of what other thinks?
- The judgements of other on you, things people might say about you, the way they might think of you, and the impression of you in them, all these hinder you from getting sociable.
-Thus lesser friends.
- You get shy, worry about a failure might make people laughing for decades and embarrassment is what you got.
- So you constantly pushing yourself to perfection.
- THESE ARE ALL SO WRONG!! CRAPS!
- Here are the reason why you shouldn't...
= they are NOTHING but words and thoughts, they can't kill you, they can't stop you
= These people know nothing about you, they have no idea where you come from, and how good are you.
= They are human too, they are not perfect, in fact, no one does
= They may make mistake more than you do and they are also worry about how people look at them.
= Don't let their shortcoming stops you from doing what you want to do.
= Last and also the most important one, they don't even care about you, yes, THEY DON'T !
= Everybody has their own life, their own time and they own problem to deal with, it is ridiculous to think that they are constantly talking bad about you.
= Even if they talk about you, it is going to be forgotten sooner than you know!
~they are just words and thoughts from flawed people who don't even care about you.
