Be Your Own Hero and Cultivate Self-Reliance in Challenging Times

"Sometimes we have to be our own hero because everyone else is too busy trying to save themselves." 

The journey of life is full of ups and downs. You often have to be your own hero, meaning you must take responsibility for your actions and choices and trust in your own abilities to overcome challenges and achieve your goals.

In life, we often expect others to help us when things get tough. But the truth is, everyone is busy dealing with their own problems. People have their own struggles, so they might not always be available to save or support us when we need it the most. Even when we expect emotional support, it’s not always given in the way we hope.

This is why it’s crucial to learn how to be your own hero. Being your own hero means taking responsibility for your life and well-being, physically, mentally, and emotionally. It means knowing that, at times, you must be the one to lift yourself up when no one else does.

This is why it’s important to learn how be self- reliant. Being self dependent helps in taking responsibilities for life, making decisions that help us grow, and facing challenges on our own. It doesn’t mean we have to do everything alone, but it’s about having the strength and confidence to stand up for ourselves.

When emotional support is lacking from others, it's even more important to support yourself. Self-compassion, positive self-talk, and building emotional resilience are powerful tools. It doesn’t mean you never need others or that you have to handle everything alone, but it’s about building the strength to rely on yourself when you can’t count on anyone else.

When you become your own hero, you build resilience, learn valuable lessons, and become more independent. In the end, you realize that you are your greatest support system, and that’s enough to face whatever comes your way. In this way, you empower yourself to face challenges with confidence. You learn to be there for yourself in ways that others might not be able to, and in the end, you become your greatest source of support and strength.

Happiness is Like a Guest - A Simple Thought Inspired by Rabindranath Tagore’s Athithi

Happiness is like a guest. It comes into our lives for a little while, makes us smile, and then quietly leaves. We cannot keep it forever, just like we cannot hold on to a guest who must go. Rabindranath Tagore’s short story Athithi (which means "The Guest") shows us this idea in a beautiful way. In the story, a young boy named Tarapada comes to a kind family. They treat him with love, and for a while, everyone is happy. But one day, without telling anyone, Tarapada leaves. He loved being with them, but he could not stay in one place. He wanted to be free. Tarapada is like happiness. He came, brought joy, and left. The story helps us understand that we should enjoy happy moments while they are with us. But when they pass, we should not be sad. Just like a good guest, happiness will come again one day. This teaches us to be thankful for the joy we have, even if it doesn’t last forever.

Be Like a Seed; When Someone Tries to Compress You, You Make Your Way Out

  Life is not always smooth. Many times, people or situations try to hold us back. They try to control us, limit us, or press us down with negativity, criticism, or challenges. But in those moments, we must remember to be like a seed. A seed is very small and weak in appearance. It gets buried deep under the soil. The soil covers it, presses it from all sides, and keeps it in darkness. But the seed doesn’t give up. Instead, it gathers all its strength, grows roots, and pushes upward. It breaks through the soil and comes out into the sunlight. This is the power of patience, strength, and growth. In life, too, when people try to suppress you with words, actions, or by creating difficulties, don’t give up. Build your strength silently, stay positive, and keep moving forward. Remember, pressure can’t stop a seed from growing. And pressure shouldn’t stop you, either. Be like a seed, and when someone tries to compress you, rise above, break through, and create your own path towards succe...

The Few Who Understand

Every day, we meet hundreds of people who wish us hello, hi, and bye. However, there are only a few people who can understand us in our lows and highs. In the noise of the crowd, we often feel lost, drifting through faces, but paying the cost. We share fleeting moments, brief as a sigh, yet crave that connection that reaches the sky. Some offer a smile, while others just stare, but only a few truly show that they care. They listen intently, with hearts open wide, inviting us in, letting feelings collide. Through laughter and sorrow, they walk by our side, their presence a comfort, our fears set aside. So let us treasure those who see through the haze, for they are the light that brightens our days.
