Become More Than A Pawn

Let’s first understand the term “Pawn”-

In chess, there are pieces, and one of the pieces is called ‘pawn’. There are also points for each piece and the lowest point somehow they give to the pawn is one point. But there is also a term in chess that’s called “promotion”, meaning if a pawn reaches at the last of the rank from its starting position then that pawn is replaced by a new queen, rook, bishop, or knight of the same color.

Now, just think about it. These pawns have the power to change themselves to a queen, bishop, knight, and rook If they are alive and reach the last rank. This is the same pawn that they gave point one. And after promotion, they got more power and points as well. I think we are all aligned yet. And if not, You need to understand chess a little bit, at least what is pawn and pawn promotion.

You are Valuable-

We sometimes think of ourselves as a pawn, as something not as valuable as others are. We judge ourselves a lot. It could be because of circumstances or people or whatever it is. But the fact is we judge ourselves a lot. This society is completely insane because they don't have awareness about what their judgment can do to other people. And that is why good communication is very essential for everybody. You can’t just give an excuse that this society is like that that’s why you are like that though that possibly be true but that won’t do any better.

I don’t know how I got the mindset to deal with these situations like judgments of others or somebody trying to make you feel inferior but talking on behalf of the masses, They are dealing with these kinds of situations and even got depressed sometimes. Every person is different so am I. But when I hear people and their stories then I get to know the ground reality of things. The majority of people are seeking validation from others who don’t know the value of anything.

Life as a Game-

But, not every pawn gets pawn promotion that’s why few win the game of life. They choose to go on a different path and make their journey the way they want. This society will tear you down. You’ll get many obstacles along the way but you need to be in this game. The more you understand the people, the more you’ll understand the face behind the mask. And more clarity you’ll get.

Life is Long-

Life is long! Do think about it. You’ve got time. Ask yourself “why” you are in a hurry. It’s time for everyone to be self-aware of themselves. Don’t be too busy that you forget living. And “Ask” why this busyness?

Everybody was once a beginner. You learn things and you grow. Even why look at others' journey, look at yourself, you grow from time to time. You learn more things and you connect the dots and know that you’ve learned or gained knowledge about these things and that thing is very much essential for you today. Even though the actual thing you are not applying but you are applying the underneath basics and dynamics of that thing.

I’ve watched people growing from nothing to something. I don’t think it’s a factor of luck though I think circumstances could be different from person to person. Work ethic always wins.

Just Start-

I’m very much concerned about those who, because of fear, don’t even start. And without doing something, without involving in something, don’t you think you can learn something? Sometimes fear is good, but primarily fear is completely bad. If you don’t start, you don’t learn. This is what you need to understand. What do you think, people are going to support you or empower you along the way, honestly, many don’t. Everyone is dealing with their problem and they’ve their personal life. But yes, I’m very sure that if you become an inspiration for yourself and give back to society, people will love you and support you.

Self-Care-

What you think about yourself matters. What you say about yourself matters. And what you think about others matters. what you say about others matters. They both are connected. You can say anything to yourself but the main thing is how you’re going to feel about it. You can’t be positive every time. Sometimes you need to think about the worst scenario and the negative aspects of that but if that’s okay with you it is completely fine. How you feel about yourself is very essential for you as well as for others. You are going to act based on how you feel. If you are weak then you can’t be good to others. You need to be strong from within to act best.

The Book that Changed Me Four Years Ago

People learn from people. Years ago, I found a person named Gary Vaynerchuk . He changed the course of my life professionally and what I was doing. I read his book that changed me four years ago and that book is Crush It ! In his book, he has talked about various things like passion, building a personal brand, content creation, authenticity, marketing and so on. I’d suggest that one must read this book if one is starting just out. This book is very simple in language and can potentially change you as well. Whatever I do, I’d say that the sharing of the content part is inspired by this person. There’s a judgment part of it involved in thinking about what to share and what not to share. What is it to keep for oneself and what is it to share with the world? but after reading and listening to Gary Vee, things changed. We must share things because we don’t know what it is that could inspire others. We really don’t know. Sometimes a story and a post or a podcast, various things cou...

Creator versus Artist

A creator is someone who makes or produces something new and an Artist is the one who creates or produces art. In today’s era, everybody is concerned about how many followers one has acquired on social media platforms. This is most important for us to know the difference between Artist and Creator, I have already defined what a creator is and what an artist is. There were artists back then who were not creators. But in today’s era, artists become very good creators. But so many of us have forgotten the difference between the two. For Creators, the quantity of content defines them. For Artists, the quality of art defines them. Ajay Singh Talk | Podcast | Spotify Ajay Singh Talk | Podcast | Apple Follow me on Instagram Follow me on Twitter

Nobody Can Help You!

That would be the most pessimistic sentence you’ll ever come across. But be with me. At least I won’t give you false hope. Because the truth is: Nobody can help you. You are living your life and most of us have lived their life but they haven’t figured out, and I can assume you are still figuring out most of the things in your life. Maybe you are seeking help but you are not finding that ultimate solution that can put you in a great spot. Well, if you are seeking someone to repair your bike, you’ll find that out so easily, I’m not talking about these kinds of things. What I’m going to talk about is more of the psychological world that we live in fragmentary. And that psychological world is not different from the world you live in. That is connected with your thinking and your actions. What I’m talking about here is something quite deep. It’s related to values, education and the relation of you to this world. Of you to other people that you don’t even care about. And if you d...

Direction over Destination

“Your first priority is to identify what you want and then make sure you take the path that’s going to give you that. There’s nothing sadder than to see someone get to be seventy-five or eighty years old and look back regrettably because they pursued the wrong target.” One of the paragraph in the book Getting Everything You Can Out of All You’ve Got by Abraham Lincoln Having a goal, having a purpose, having a destination, it’s all fine but what if you don’t know where to go, you are not that self-aware, you are very early in the process, you could be a college graduate or you’ve passed out but you don’t know where to go. It’s a problem for the majority of people because most of the people are not self-aware, they don’t know what they want from life. It’s very obvious why most of the people are not happy in their life. So, if you don’t know the destination or a goal, how will you then start? To answer you, You just start by finding something you like or you are passionate abo...

From Where the Strength Comes

In this chaotic life, we all need strength. For some it comes from people, money, happiness and for some, it comes from freedom and so on. What if it all goes away someday? To be honest with you, that may happen. The probability is still there, let’s be factual. For some, it is my philosophy but I’m just being factual. Let’s cut the bullshit for the time being. The question now is, is strength relative to all these things? Is strength relative at all? Because if it is relative then we are lost or we will be. And to explore all that we must first understand what it means by strength. And here I’m more concerned with mental strength rather than physical strength. Physical strength must be there to survive, to act, and to function properly. What is strength, my friend? This is not just a question for me but also you. Whatever I’m going to convey must be realized on a deeper level otherwise there’s no point reading this. On a mental level, is it not the ability to think understand ...

Behind the Scene of Writing

Working on a new project, I thought why not show the scene behind the writing? When we write things we get some ideas. Even we can make connections among things and then It becomes very easy to write things about anything. I like to write it like it, one can make things in the doodle Notebook in art form as well.

Embracing Tranquility

In the pursuit of a peaceful and purposeful life, it's essential to align your actions with joy. Engage in activities that bring happiness, for it is the connection between what you do and the resulting peace that truly matters. In today's world, opportunities abound to find joy in various endeavours, and if you're talented, consider turning your passions into a source of income—after all, money-making is a skill worth honing. Stress management is a vital aspect of maintaining a sense of peace. Choose activities that resonate with you, avoiding those that lead to dissatisfaction. Living a simple life and being unafraid of mistakes are powerful ways to stay grounded. Embrace the present moment; stress often arises from dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. While future planning is valuable, ensure it remains realistic, understanding the time required to achieve your goals. Prioritize activities that bring you genuine joy. Adhering to the 80/20 rule ,...

A Letter!

I’m what I’m right now, right here. The state of the mind is the state of me. Whatever in this, that is me. To be at peace is not a desire but it’s our nature. It’s our life. To live without any conflict in the life. To think about it, is worth it than the things that anybody could desire. There can’t be a great, priceless, worth it desire than to understand life and live it every second. What I want is this. What I hope for others is this. To live joyously is life. To live peacefully is life. Nobody could be happy if that person is full of hate or even a spark of that. Full of jealousy or a spark of that. If people can’t like others how can there would be a relationship of any kind. I don’t see that is possible. Become a light to oneself and that light will awaken others. This, I see very clearly & only option here.

How To Live In The Present | Forgiveness And Acceptance

There are many questions about ‘living in the present’. What it is? And how can we live in the present? Or there is really a thing like ‘living in the present? People have talked a lot about living in the present moment but now, let’s dive into some other aspects of it so that you can understand it from a different perspective. It’s not going to be linear thinking, you have to ‘not try’ to understand everything that I'm going to say but you need to just read and read carefully so that you could gain some insights about it. Don’t Catch the Present A linear kind of thinking sometimes could misguide you, when understanding the ‘present moment’, I’ll also focus on what it’s not. And I think that would be more beneficial for you because I or any other person can’t give you the ‘present moment’. It’s not a thing. Directly saying about ‘present moment’ could make a belief for you and that’s not where good things happen. The present moment is not something that you can understand intellec...
