Quite often in life we unwittingly surround ourselves with people who bring us down in myriad ways-through words,thoughts & actions. A #Upsc aspirant(especially one who hasn’t tasted success yet)-faces barbs about their unemployed status & failures. How to #ShutTheNoise? A thread
Virginia Woolf had said-“The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.” Don’t be shackled & held back in life by the prisons & cages they create for you & especially by the ones that you create for yourself in your mind-through your self-doubts & negative thoughts.
If it’s constructive criticism, embrace it, else reject it outright. Whenever you encounter somebody doubting your abilities or mocking your failures, you must filter them out from your life & thoughts. Walk away- both mentally & physically. Recognise your self-worth & value.
Your identity is not defined in terms of being a ‘success’ or ‘failure’. They are just the results of a task you undertook. Your identity is based on who you are intrinsically as a person: strong,courageous & good. Be unshakable. Turn off the volume on those who bring you down.
Be your own biggest cheerleader always. Believe in yourself & aim high. You have infinite potential. Don’t let anyone or anything dull your sparkle. Tell us about your experiences - the people you encountered or the self-doubts you overcame & how you successfully #ShutTheNoise.
