The best version of yourself is in fact, yet to be born





To all those who think they need a wave of a magic wand to get better...

More than often, most of us are only being a quarter best of ourselves or still worse- the worst version of ourselves. Each one of us has got the scope to improve and each one of us has the capability to become better than we are. In fact, the improvements to be made are so obvious that we know exactly what and where they are to be made but we just tend to ignore the very idea of being better because of the fear of change or of not being good enough to adapt the change. 

In the first case, when we admit we are willing to improve it implies that we are not perfect currently but what we have to realize is that it's totally fine to be imperfect but what is NOT fine is to lie to yourself about being the best and to give up on improving. 

Deep down, each one of us knows we can give our best. At times we know we can do better but we don't. Because somewhere deep inside, as much as we know we can make it work we also have fear of not being able to make that possible. Is it really that big of a problem?

Let me paint you the picture...

A tiny window just big enough to let you in is in front of you. The window opens in a room that has infinite open doors waiting for you. But you are so convinced that you won't make it to the other side of the window that you refuse to even find out what is at the other end. And you shut the window close, forever. And the doors keep waiting for you, forever...

You know what your fear of not being good enough can be? 
It can be that window...that obstruction, which keeps you from the doors opportunities knock at. To answer your question...no, it won't feel like a huge problem. It will be the breeding ground for multiple huge problems. 

If changing for the better is hard, not bringing in the change and then regretting is the hardest. 
Because the latter will bring in your life a stagnant kind of stillness while the former will bring with it self satisfaction and moments of happiness you'll thank your younger self for

Therefore, from today and for all the days that follow let's pledge to strive to become the best versions of ourselves. We will eventually get closer and closer to loving who we are. 
And once that happens, other things will just fall in place like the pieces in a solved jigsaw puzzle!

Clara Winslow's Favourite Song

'Clara Winslow wins song of the year at Grammy Awards 2025', read the headline. She made it , I thought to myself before letting the overwhelming flood of memories take over.   I was interning at a music summer camp when I first met Clara Winslow, a frail girl with freckled cheeks, long bronze hair and eyes so expressive they almost appeared animated. When I assigned the kids their first activity of the summer, I vividly recall how Clara's eyes lit up.  'Listen to music across various genres, cultures, languages and pick your favourite song' ,  read the chalkboard behind me.  It was quite a task to get the rest of the class started. Clara however, was a natural. I don't think she spent a minute without her headphones and notepad. That was the only time I interacted with the kids and although most were adorable, Clara Winslow left an impression instantly.  Later that day and for every day since, I was assigned generic prep work so I barely saw the kids....

The Ominous Letter

I listen to what you say when you believe you’re alone. I know what you would rather do if you knew nobody was watching . I can feel you tense at my words. I can hear your breathing pattern cautiously pause.    When your grandmother said “Mind what you let occupy your mind”, where were you?  She may not have known the core reason behind what she preached, but she was right in thinking it was essential to protect you. She had every reason to be concerned. It is one of the greatest mysteries of the human race how nobody discovered that thoughts are logged. There are arrays of them incrementally pouring in as you read this. I have unhindered access to each thought of yours, as much as I would like otherwise.  Some of the thoughts are periodically repeated. As a bunch, they collectively move forward to take the form of an action.  I sit there in pain at the very onset of your first immoral thought, praying it never finds its bunch.  My job is to send back uninv...
