1.One Day to Day One : Failure to Success

Hello, I am Rajesh.
This is my story. I always wanted to become a YouTuber—someone who creates videos on a particular topic. But I kept pretending that I had nothing to start with: good mobile phone, camera, and not enough money.
My friend was completely opposite to me. He always encouraged me to do something, but I never acted on it. He started his own YouTube channel based on fitness. In his videos, he showed simple things like doing push-ups, explaining diet, and sharing tips on how to become stronger. He started with just a simple mobile phone, the same kind of phone that I already had.
I kept thinking, “I have time. I’ll do it later, and I’ll do it perfectly.” I was always waiting for perfection.
The dark truth is—the right time never came, and because I waited for perfection, I never started. I also lost that friend along the way. Today, he owns a gym, has a well-subscribed YouTube channel, and earns well. Meanwhile, I am stuck in life with a salary, family responsibilities, and EMIs.
Now, I am trying to improve myself—not only for YouTube as a career, but also to be the best employee at my job and a better family man.
The biggest pain I carry is this realization: pain is temporary, but regret lasts much longer.
My advice to everyone is: take your own time, but value your time. Walk on the right path. When you start something, you will learn how to overcome problems. But if you never start, you will never find the answers. Don’t fall for perfection—it comes through the journey and the process of learning.
Moral of the Story:
Start today, whatever you want to do.

2. The Elimination of Unnecessary : Overthinking

One day, I visited my relatives. Everything was fine until evening. In the evening, I was standing on the terrace and saw two children playing and laughing together. Suddenly, both children started fighting.
I went toward them and asked, “What happened? Just a moment ago you were playing together, and now you are fighting?”
One child said, “You don’t know the story.”
I replied, “Tell me. I will try to resolve it.”
He said, “We were playing a game. Whoever saw a car on the road first, that car would belong to that person. I saw the first black car, but now he is fighting with me, saying it belongs to him.”
It was ridiculous.
I laughed a lot and realized that even the real car owners didn’t know about this, yet the children were fighting over it. Suddenly, I understood that it was just imagination, not reality. Just like this, we often feel angry over things that don’t even exist in reality.
Moral of the story:
Sometimes we get tied to problems that do not exist. Be aware of your thoughts!
