Resonance: The Echo

Sun, 10 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Am at such a career building stage, and learning lot of new things everyday. Every day I wanted to blog and write something, and even now at the time of writing, I'm enjoying to put up and convey something as a post in my editor, emacs. The point, is "I have to just start".

The sound All these days, some of the thoughts have been echoing inside me, recursively bombarding with same realization and finally coming to the same point. I would like to note down some of the points that are amusing and as a record that exists to realize.

Whatever task it is, "Just start"

I realized that just starting anything is not only half done, but its a perfection. Issues and complication start when I don't start and exaggerate thinking about it.

Don't follow the system, Let it just work

Cool trendy, shiny tools and concepts bloom up every morning, cause its how the world is hastening up. But chasing something new, is a huge mistake and leave us nowhere out in the blue. Simply trying to adapt to shiny trends will lead to new issues and new challenges. That is good in some sense, and should be welcome. But we have to know the priorities.

So better to follow something that works, and adapt and improvise it. As I feel this true for my note taking system. I feel zettelkasten system is not adding any meaning to my workflow. I feel it might only make me feel lost and lose information with FOMO (fear of missing out).

Since I'm fond of org-mode, it might be reasonable in my case. So I think sticking with few large org files is a go-to and a best strategy, given that I utilize the tools properly and craft my own wizard-ery flow!

Nothing in life makes sense, after a period of its time

Every matter and material has some time in our life, past and post that, its useless and alien to us. For whatever we fight, and chase during that time, is a laughing material for the future you.

I believe that, we need to sit down and think properly of what's going on with us. Its a good practice to better understand about self. I'm sure many don't notice or feel about themselves these days. Completely lost and being someone they want to be. But lost the person they were born to be.

Silence, and No is the best answer to many

Many times, life deviates with noise and nodding "yes" to questions. Some seconds of silence and "No" would elevate life's progress and improve the betterment of life for many.

Don't be a judge

Judging does come with a price, at the end we may lose our own support. As I said, silence and simplicity voyages the person to bright life.

Imposter Syndrome : Formula for Success

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Have you ever felt a fear of losing or doubt your own ability?
Have you felt unworthy, lost your self esteem due to a mistake?
Are you feeling constant fear of being discovered rather than being proud?

The matter is, is these sound true or happening at some moment, let me condition it as "Imposted Syndrome".

You might remember the word "Imposter" from the most popular mobile game during lockdown, Among us (site), yeah as the name suggests it means one who deceives.

But imposter syndrome is seriously for real, a condition, which people do experience in their life. They don't usually realize or find its symptoms as it is in itself a negative feeling, provoking anxiety and fear.

People with imposter syndrome feel inauthentic, question their own ability to be

successful, and are convinced that they do not belong in the roles they stand, even when they experience success.

I myself have felt this, when I was starting out journey to learn new course (say programming language), I felt it was oceanic knowledge where I only had a boat.

Ways to stop Imposter Syndrome

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Trust the Process

Reflect on your actions, see the world praising you. Instead of listening to the negative feeling from your head, listen to the feedback from others.

Others believe in you
You don't believe in yourself
Yet you believe yourself instead of them

If you doubt yourself, shouldn't you also doubt your judgment of yourself?

Look for Evidence

Fine you feel it that way, see if you can find evidence and measures. Think of some example where you have made some positive impact on others, how much change have you brought them.

Remember the Journey

Look back at the steps you have taken, how was the process of learning from scratch, rock-bottom.

'It will get better and you'll be more proud of yourself.'

Turn the Tables

Make it a strenth, refrain from doubts. Those with imposter syndrome are more likely to say "I don't know" when they don't know. This is an advantage. Overconfident people assume they have all the answers, even when they don't.

Humility, uncertainty, and self-doubt are part of the learning process. The key is to believe in your ability to learn.
