Why We Say It's Okay... When It's Not



We really want to yell,


“I’m not okay!” 🛠

But instead we say, I’m good. I’m okay. I’m fine. I’m alright. Ever said these words in response to someone asking, “How are you?” Were you being honest? Sometimes I’m not good, okay, fine, or alright. Sometimes I’m overwhelmed, sad, hurt, and scared. In our world, we so commonly respond with the stock answer that life is good and coasting along, but in reality, we all know that things aren’t always okay.

Sometimes it feels like society says you should be always happy, and that showing your sadness is a sign of weakness.

We all have good and bad days. No one can be perfectly happy all of the time, that is not human. One day you feel on top of the world, the next you are down. While I am still trying to accept this myself, I know that it is part of life and whether or not others choose to show it, it still happens.

Life is not always great and it’s time to stop pretending that it is. Being authentic that life can be hard at times makes you real and honest. Now I’m not saying that you need to spill out all life’s troubles to everyone you meet all the time. But I am saying that being real about not being okay with people you trust is a good place to start.

When you run alone, it's called a Race and when God runs with you, it's called Grace

  "When you run alone, it's called a race and when God runs with you, it's called grace." The word grace actually mean, "God runs with you in the race." Grace is something you do not work for nor do you deserve it, it is not you but God that works in you and that is grace. The only way to truly win this race of life is to realize there is no race 🛠 Winning is stopping. Going within. Finding happiness within yourself 🛠 True satisfaction can only be found inside. When we can be alone with ourselves, be at peace, and feel a deeper connection, this is what we have really been racing to find. Running toward the next accomplishment will never be able to provide this. It will only take us further away from what we’re hoping to feel. So what happens when we stop? It involves going deeper within, which can be a scary prospect for many. Choosing to constantly be on the go is easier. It dulls the pain. It means not having to really take a look at yourself.

Nothing can destroy Iron.. But it's own Rust Can. Similarly no one can destroy you.. But your mindset can.

  We can melt iron but we cannot destroy it, as we have heard that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. But the Iron rust leads to the destruction of iron very rapidly. ... The rust flakes off and exposes fresh iron to the atmosphere, which is further corroded, leading to complete destruction of the IRON🛠 Your personality is known for its strength, resilience and the ability to stand tall in the wake of challenges. However, just like iron, your personality is also prone to certain challenges. Unless you provide the due care necessary to take care of it, you are heading towards a natural demise Rust beats iron. Entropy beats your personality 🛠 Entropy is natural failure. If there is no conscious progress on any activity, it is headed for a natural demise. Whether it is your habits, convictions, beliefs or even the items that give you confidence. Ever think of things where you feel “Oh god, I used to be so good at it”. But you are not able to muster the same effect anymore...

Mask yourself is the only advise we hear these days , External mask help us avoid the virus, what about the mask we wear to redefine our virtual identities ?  Today's world of virtual exploration has pushed society to adopt a virtual life, full of Masks and multiple identity links,  leading our mind to be in a constant pressure to be the best and compete in almost everything which one can imagine. In this rat race of shows we forgot to kindle our inner-self and run for the joy dripping from the nectar of social sites , where we post almost everything without blinking to think personal or social, from relationships to first night of wedding to morning breakfast and night dress all linked to social phobia which is intense anxiety of being judged . Mask the person with any outer facade and bury his soul to grave, competing world of today leveas us with no choice but to wear a mask and hide our Fears , Insecurities and Anger. ...
