Let’s talk about giving up. Or more precisely, why we shouldn’t.

Life is unpredictable. Every step we take, every choice we make, comes with two basic possibilities:

1.Things might go well, just the way we hoped.

2.Or, they might not.

That’s it. Two sides. Good or bad. Success or failure. Plan or chaos.

Now here’s the twist:
When we give up before even trying, we erase the good possibility altogether.
We cancel the chance of things going right. We shut the door on what could have been. Just imagine, what if it would’ve worked out? But we’ll never know, because we didn’t try.

That’s why giving up isn’t just quitting, it’s self-sabotage.

Trying doesn’t guarantee success. Let’s be real, it doesn’t always work out the way we imagine. But even if it ends up in flames, the fact that we tried is worth celebrating. Because trying takes courage. Trying means we believed in a possibility, even for a moment. That belief is powerful.

And let’s not ignore this:
Trying itself is an achievement.
It shows effort, it shows intent, it shows strength. In a world that often tells us to be perfect or not bother at all, choosing to try is rebellion. It’s bravery.

So, next time you feel like giving up, pause.
Think about that one possibility, the good one.
Because sometimes, that one tiny chance is all you need to keep going.

And even if the result isn’t what you wanted, be proud. You didn’t sit back. You showed up. You gave it a shot.

And honestly? That’s enough.

Suppose your body temperature starts rising.

You feel uncomfortable, tired, weak—but you don’t know what it means. You’ve never heard the term fever before. So you don’t rest, don’t take medicine, and don’t ask for help. The condition might get worse.

Now imagine the same situation—your body temperature rises, but you know it’s called a fever. You recognize the signs, understand what it could lead to, and you take steps to treat it. That awareness changes everything.

The same goes for mental health.
If you’re feeling anxious, numb, unmotivated, or constantly overwhelmed—but you don’t know these are signs of a mental health struggle—you might keep suffering silently. But if you do know what these signs mean, you can take action. You can seek help, talk to someone, or care for yourself properly.

Understanding what you’re going through is the first step toward healing.
Just like knowing what a fever is helps you recover faster, knowing the signs of mental distress helps you protect your mind better.

Reflective Thread
"What I wish someone did for me when I was breaking."

Sometimes, the smallest act of kindness can change everything.
We’re opening up a space to reflect on those moments when we felt broken — and what we wished someone did for us.

Do you remember that pencil box that looked like a car? The one every kid in school seemed to have, with secret compartments and wheels that actually moved? Or those Hot Wheels cars that filled TV ads but never made it into your toy box?

Back then, wanting those things wasn’t about being spoiled or materialistic—it was about belonging, excitement, and the joy of childhood. But many of us didn’t get them. Not because our families couldn’t afford it, but because the grown-ups in our lives didn’t understand why it mattered so much to us.

To them, a pencil box was just a box. A Hot Wheels car was just another toy. They saw it as a waste of money—nothing important. But to a child, it was a tiny dream. And not getting it quietly broke our hearts.

Now we’re older. We can buy five of those pencil boxes if we want. Ten Hot Wheels in one go. But the strange thing is—it doesn't spark that same happiness anymore. Why?

Because getting something at the right time is everything.

A toy at age 8 is a treasure. The same toy at 20 is just nostalgia.

This simple truth speaks volumes about mental health too. Often, we beat ourselves up for not achieving things fast enough—grades, love, success, recognition. But just like toys, even beautiful things can feel empty if they come out of season. That’s why patience matters—not just to wait, but to trust in timing.

The Patience Paradox
We think patience is passive. But in truth, it’s a fierce, quiet strength. It teaches us to endure without bitterness, to hope without clinging, and to grow through the waiting. Imagine if you got everything you wanted, exactly when you wanted—would you still appreciate it?

So, when life delays your dreams, maybe it’s not denial—maybe it’s preparation. Maybe your mind, your situation, your surroundings need to align. Just like the joy of a toy only makes sense in childhood, success only feels real when you’ve become the person ready to carry it.

Timing > Possession
Wanting that Hot Wheels as a child wasn’t wrong. It was real. But not getting it taught us resilience. Now that we can afford those things, we crave something deeper—freedom, purpose, connection. That shift in desire proves we’ve grown.

Mental health isn’t just about feeling good. It’s about understanding yourself in different seasons of life. About knowing when to chase, when to rest, and when to just sit with the longing.

So, here’s to the pencil boxes we never got. They taught us that joy can be delayed—and that’s okay. Because some joys are bigger. They take time.

And maybe one day, when you do get that actual car—not the pencil box one, the real one—you’ll look back and smile at how far you’ve come.

Life is full of choices—and the ability to make our own decisions is a powerful gift.

Being able to choose our path, our people, our passions—that’s what shapes our identity and future. When we make the right choices at the right time, they unlock new chapters of peace, growth, and self-respect. This is something to be proud of.

But sometimes, we get stuck in unhealthy situations.
Maybe it’s a course we don’t connect with, a job that drains our spirit, or a person who constantly pulls us down. Deep inside, we feel something is off. We see the signs—but we don’t act. We wait. We hope. We delay.
And even worse, sometimes we do the opposite—we act too fast. We make impulsive decisions in the heat of emotion, without thinking things through. That’s not bravery—that’s avoidance. And impulsive decisions can lead us into deeper problems.

So what’s the balance? How do we know when and what to decide?
The answer lies in awareness and timing. If something doesn’t feel right, pause. Reflect. Don’t ignore the discomfort—but don’t run from it either.
Instead, give yourself a little space. Observe the situation. Ask:

-Is this something temporary, or is this an ongoing issue?

-Have I tried improving it genuinely?

-Is this making me grow or just draining me every day?

If your heart keeps saying, “This isn’t right,”—listen.
Not impulsively, but intentionally. Not out of fear, but out of clarity.
Because true strength is making the right decision at the right time—not too soon, not too late. That’s how you protect your peace without regretting your choices.

So take your time to understand. But don’t waste your life in places that dim your light.
You deserve better—and sometimes, all it takes is one timely, thoughtful decision to change everything.

Let this be your reminder:

Don’t keep people in your life who constantly fail to appreciate your efforts, your words, or your progress. As you grow and succeed, you’ll start noticing certain people showing signs—they’ll make you question your path, downplay your achievements, or imply that you haven’t done enough. They’ll say things like:
“That’s nothing special.”
“Others have done way more.”
“You still have a long way to go.”

And sure, it’s okay to hear constructive criticism—but it’s not okay to be emotionally dragged down every time you take a step forward. Life is about celebrating your progress, not being made to feel small about it. If someone—be it your best friend, your partner, or a close friend—constantly makes you feel like your success doesn’t matter, let them go.

But here’s the complicated truth:
Sometimes, these people aren’t jealous. Sometimes, they love you. They want good things for you. They might be family. They might genuinely think they’re “pushing” you to do better. But this behavior—this constant criticism masked as concern—is still toxic.

If that person means a lot to you, talk to them. Tell them their words hurt. Let them know that their way of “helping” you is actually damaging your mental peace. If they understand and try to change—that’s worth appreciating.
But if they argue, dismiss your feelings, or keep repeating the same hurtful behavior, you need to take a step back. Even if it’s hard. Even if it hurts.

In the case of family, where cutting them off isn’t always an option, you need to mentally detach from their negative patterns. Create emotional distance. Tell them how you feel. And if they still don’t stop, choose to ignore the noise. What matters is how you feel about your journey.
Ask yourself:
→ Am I happy with what I’m doing?
→ Do I feel proud of myself?
→ Is this meaningful to me?

If the answer is yes, that’s enough.
You don’t need everyone to clap for you. Even the ones closest to you might not understand your vision—and that’s okay.

But don’t waste time hoping they’ll change someday. That waiting can rob you of your peace, your progress, and your mental well-being. Protect yourself. Don’t let someone’s harsh words cloud your joy. The longer you tolerate it, the more it will harm your self-worth.

So learn to recognize the red flags—whether they come from a stranger or someone you love. Learn to make the decision. Not impulsively, but firmly. Not with hate, but with clarity.

Because your happiness, your peace, and your growth come first. Always.

Goals are must to be successful in our lives. But we often get stressed about our progress towards the goal we set from the very beginning. Rather,if we set small goals,it would be easy for us to accomplish the aim and get encouraged. It helps to build confidence and motivation to make the journey a constant. So, set tiny goals and make your life relaxed!
