Your Life Is Important – Fight For Yourself

When the author was about to give up but life was stubborn and won’t let him go. He learnt to fight for his life.

Do you ever feel that your life isn’t important and you want to just consider that you should just drift into nothingness?

Fight For Your Life : My Story

Well, let me tell you a story.

When I was in high school in class 11, I decided that science was difficult and I wanted to just avoid everything and drift into nothingness.

I used to miss school and play video games all day. 

I also failed in class 11 because of that. 

And then I realized when I was admitted to class 11 again in another school that life isn’t so easy to avoid.

Life’s stubborn and it won’t just let you go and drift into nothingness.

And so what I want to tell you is – your life is important and you should not want to drift into nothingness or avoid life like I did once.

Fight for yourself. Fight for your life. Fight for your survival.

Be Selfish If You Have To

Sometimes it may look “selfish” to want to give importance to your own life.

But that’s okay.

Sometimes being selfish is good. 

And if it is to survive that you’re being selfish then it’s a 100% correct way to act.

Be selfish and affirm your life’s needs. Fight for your life.

Also there has been many other instances of me trying to avoid life. 

But luckily I’m here on the other end of survival – living.

And sometimes I also feel like I’m being selfish for living or trying to survive. 

But to state my needs is necessary and it’s the right thing to do to survive.

“Your life is important. Honor it. Fight for your highest possibilities.” 

-Nathaniel Branden, Six Pillars of Self-Esteem

And you need to realize that you need to survive and get better.

You need to improve your mental health and you need to fight for yourself.

You’re The Arjuna Of Your Own Life

In the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna had to fight not just for the Pandavas but also for himself. 

He had to believe in himself. And fight the battle of Kurukshetra.

You are also an Arjuna in your life and the Bhagavad Gita is the words of Lord Krishna. 

But setting aside all philosophical debates, you need to fight for yourself.

You need to fight your battle of Kurukshetra. 

It may not be with swords or bows but it’s definitely true that your life itself is a battlefield where you need to fight by motivating yourself where you are your greatest enemy.

Conclusion

So yeah your life is important and you shouldn’t want to drift into nothingness.

Please please please fight for yourself, with reason, with logic, with your mind, your thoughts, your beliefs but don’t give up. 

Never never never give up!!!

Thank you for reading this line! It means a lot.

Trying – The Secret Of The Universe – Part 2

The author writes about how he had written a philosophy of trying as the secret of the universe and how it still holds true to this day.

On 16th February 2023 I had written a blog post named “Trying:The Secret Of The Universe”. 

In that blog post I had written my story of how my mother’s love and tenacity forced me to go outside my house. 

How Trying Has Helped Me

In this blog post, I want to share with you how that philosophy has helped me in the last 3 years.

Since 16th February 2023, I have improved a lot. My mental health and anxiety has gotten better.

I am able to go outside and am able to identify the real reasons when I’m unable to go outside.

My mother doesn’t have to force me to go outside anymore. 

And I am able to study daily and wake up on time.

I feel more confident and I have been living without my parents in Bangalore for some time.

What I want to say is that I’m trying and that act of faith in trying, knowing that I might fail, is helping me succeed.

I used to write in my older blog posts that I was waiting for my time to come. And I think it did come.

My Story

And in January 2026 I joined a data analyst course. At first I was procrastinating to study. But then I started studying for only 10 minutes. 

Slowly 10 minutes turned to 20 and then an hour and two hours. 

And now I’m almost at the end of my theory lecture parts of the course.

Same with my guitar practice. I started practicing for 10 minutes. 

I also learned to start small and break down the tasks into the essentials.

For example, if someday I’m not feeling like taking a bath, I’d think, “It’s just pouring water on my body and changing clothes.”

Conclusion

So yeah I still think trying is the secret of the universe.

Problem-Solving Is About Persistence: Never Give Up

The author writes about how persistence is required for solving problems in a person’s life. He gives personal examples.

A few weeks ago, I used to wake up at 1pm in the afternoon. But nowadays I wake up between 6am and 9am. It took persistence to figure out the solution.

I did this by making writing blog posts a part of my morning routine. 

As soon as I wake up I start writing a blog post. 

But making writing blogs a part of my morning routine wasn’t so obvious.

I tried reading novels, studying courses, drinking coffee, etc. but nothing worked until I tried blogging in the morning.

And I must tell you, it was more about persistence than critical thinking.

I had to try many things before I could figure out that I wake up faster when I write blogs.

And right now I’m struggling with using social media and long screen times. 

I tried limiting the timers to 30 minutes, but I just seem to extend the duration when the 30 minutes time limit is finished.

I tried deleting all the time pass apps, but I seem to reinstall the social media apps again after a few days of intense boredom.

Likewise, I’m trying to figure out an alternative to spending time scrolling, maybe by going outside more.

But I have a strange aversion towards going outside.

However, I need to overcome it and go outside more.

And I know that if I persist long enough I can solve this problem also.

So yeah I just wanted to share this thought.

Problem-solving requires persistence.

So never give up.
