10 years of my life: A journey of stress and growth!

Hello my dear friends,
Do you want to hear a fictional story… or a story that actually happened many years ago? Or perhaps you want to continue a story you’ve created from your own imagination, inspired by this one?

Yes, these things are a little strange, but what else can a bored man do or think about…? I’m not a businessman… maybe I’m just like you. Someone who likes to imagine. That doesn’t mean I’m afraid of things in real life. But perhaps life isn’t full of thrills for everyone.

The bitter truth! But it’s not necessary that those people whose lives are full of adventure are very beautiful or handsome or very attractive.

They are just random people… but the question is, who are these people? And why can’t everyone be like them?

Nature is a very confusing place. Hmm, everyone wants to have adventures here, to do something challenging. When we go out, we see a world chasing after money. Those people aren’t crazy… money is necessary for everything.

We give ourselves the excuse that money is necessary first, for everything. Our heart accepts this. But earning money is not a one-day affair, but the result of daily hard work. When we work hard, we earn some money, even if it’s a little. And we earn more money… and save it by spending less. Now we have money, which will run the household, and we will have a better lifestyle. And we will work hard for 5-7 years… and there will be even more money.

Okay, we’re earning money now, let’s have some adventures… go traveling with friends… somewhere in the country or outside the country. This method seems quite right, doesn’t it? But it takes many years… like right now, you or I are probably 18+ years old… and in this way, it can take 10 years or at most 15 years to earn a good amount of money after covering expenses. It depends on what you do. We are always told by our families to get a government job, and if that’s not possible, then start a big business. If you study well, you can get a government job… try your best.

Yes, if you can take the risk of taking out a loan of millions . But you should consider every possibility of what will happen if you fail. If you can defend yourself against that possibility, then you can start.

But we know that it’s not that easy for us. So, we usually start with a job. Now, if you are educated, you can earn 12,000 INR [(1400-2200 $ in USA) Minimum wages may vary from country to country depending on the expenses in the country)] or even if you’re not, you can earn 10,000 INR . It will definitely be hard work, but it’s not a small amount of money. When you are earning 10k or 12k INR at the age of 20, this is the time when your family invests in you, for your future. But at this time, you are earning for yourself.

Now, I won’t tell you to waste 10 years in this one company. Only when you go out into the world will you meet people and learn new things. Try working on several things. Even if you can’t do anything else, you can still earn 10k INR (1400-2200 $ in USA) . After 5 years, this company itself will start giving you 15k+. Now, the important thing is, what will you do with this money?

Look, I would absolutely not advise you to invest this money in any digital assets or shares. This is your personal decision. I’m just telling you what Warren Buffett, one of the world’s top 10 richest people, has said. He says, “Don’t try to save what’s left after spending; “Instead, spend what’s left after saving.” ( Acc. to AOL)

This means that people typically spend the money they earn and try to save what’s left. But according to Warren Buffett, you should invest the money you earn based on your wisdom and knowledge, and then you can spend the remaining money. (by Warren Buffet)

This is just one path from which thousands of other paths emerge, and people like you walk on those paths.

Now, it’s possible that after all this hard work, stress, and tension, we’re not the same as we used to be. Maybe we’ve gained weight, our faces have taken on a more mature look, our hair has thinned… or in some way, you’re not the same person you were 10 years ago. But does that matter, because you’ve dedicated your crucial 10 years to making money? This was the part of life that the world calls struggle.

Let me tell you about a stress in my own life: I have a mole in the middle of my left cheek… a big mole…

Nobody ever told me it looked strange on me. But I thought it did… so whenever I met someone, I would turn my face to the right… really. I didn’t want anyone to see my mole.

I endured this stress for 2 to 3 years. And during that time, one or two people actually told me that the mole looked strange on me. When they said that, my eyes welled up with tears in a second. And the stress continued to increase. I must have been about 17 or 18 years old at the time. But I was quite introverted. So I didn’t talk to anyone about it. Then one day, my friend told me that I had some bumps on both sides of my forehead.

I started noticing them every day and began to stress about them… But now I’ve noticed something: I no longer stress about the mole on my cheek; in fact, it seems completely normal to me now.

But humans are humans, they just don’t understand. They pretend to understand for a while, and then they get stressed again. Because there was nothing else to do.

I had finished 12th grade… it was college time, so the pressure of studies was over. I had even stopped studying altogether. Every day I would think about so many things… that I had never had a girlfriend… that I had no friends. No girl had ever even talked to me. And I would get even more stressed thinking that I wasn’t even studying anymore. And I blamed all of this on the bump on my forehead, which I thought ruined my face. Yes, it’s a little illogical. But what can you do, that’s how the heart is. Every day it keeps pulling me down, telling me not to even make eye contact with anyone… that I look bad. One day I would be motivated, and the next day it would be the same old story.

Then, after about a year or two, my hairline started receding. So I started stressing about that too. But the strange thing was that my mole and the bump on my forehead problem had completely disappeared. Problems that I had wasted six years of my life worrying about. I kept lowering my self-confidence… doing nothing, just hoping that everything would get better on its own.

And now I latched onto this new stress and again did nothing. Just like before, I didn’t put my heart into studying or anything else. Just stress and more stress. Slowly, over a year or two, my hairline receded quite a bit. And the beard I grew was also very thin and strange. Now even kids were calling me uncle, because my stomach had started sticking out too… hahaha.

All this stress and overthinking was simply because I thought I didn’t look good.

Conclusion:

Combining all these stressors, I spent 10 crucial years of my life solely consumed by stress. The reason I wasted these 10 years was simply my belief that I wasn’t good-looking. Your problem might be different. For example, you might waste those 10 years talking to your girlfriend… or something else entirely. Whatever the reason, ultimately, it’s not the reason that matters, but the time itself.

Because these are the same 10 years I mentioned at the beginning. The years where you work hard, gradually meet people, work, earn money, and reach a point where you make your life better and happier. and grow in life.

By the way, let me tell you that both of these scenarios are part of my own story. I spent the first 10 years under stress, and then the next 10 years doing what I should have done earlier in my life for personal growth. But now I don’t even regret that I didn’t do it sooner. Because learning is what life is all about.

Oh, one more thing, now I have the money to get my moles removed, get surgery to fix my prominent forehead, and even get a hair transplant. But honestly, I haven’t done any of it. Because today, I’ve come to like all these things about myself. Because I’m happy. And because I’m happy, there’s a different kind of glow on my face. I’ve built a pretty good physique, really. And I hang out with friends sometimes, and sometimes alone… skydiving, scuba diving, climbing mountains, or whatever other crazy things we call adventures. I do all of that. And yes, nowadays girls even approach me… hahaha!
