You can't fix everything

Yes..

All problems are not designed to be solved 🫠

Some problems are meant to be there

👀 In Tom and Jerry

If Tom kills Jerry, now the owner doesn't need Tom

He will become homeless
He will get no food
No comfortable life

So Tom just acts to chase Jerry but never actually kills him

So..

Don't be frustrated by

- This road has potholes
- My teenage kids don't listen to me
- Why can men walk topless, but not women
- etc.

Some things you can't solve, they are there because they need to be there 🤏

*Excluding your actions

The only thing you can control is your actions

So..

✔️ When you're bombarded with chaos and emotions

Just take a deep breath and ask

"Can I do something about it?" 🤔

If the answer is NO

Then smile and focus on what you can do

So..

✅ Repeat after me

"All problems are not designed to be solved"

Stop being Harsh on yourself?

🧑‍🦱: Is it bad? I'm just taking responsibility

🗣️: Yes, you should

But in the right way

Don't be like:

"If I don't do 100 pushups today, I'll run 100 laps around this ground"

Bro, you're being harsh on yourself in the wrong direction 🫠

What if you can't complete those 100 laps?

Now you've created another reason to hate yourself

And it becomes a loop

Step 1️⃣: You set an unrealistic goal without calculating the risk

Step 2️⃣: You fail to achieve it

Step 3️⃣: You punish yourself for failing

Step 4️⃣: What are you teaching your brain?

"If I can't do this, I'm a failure"

Now your entire identity depends on what you achieve

Imagine you start a business and it fails

You can't just cry at 1 AM repeating:

"I'm a failure
I'm a failure
I'm a failure"

You need to switch from:

❌ Problem phase → Solution phase ✅

Instantly...

Why did my business fail?
Was it my shipping partner?
My marketing?
My pricing?
My cash flow?

✔️ Find the actual problem and fix it

❌ Stop attacking yourself for the outcome

Start analysing the reasons behind it

So...

Let me summarise it in one line

✅ Quickly switch from problem phase to solution phase 🤏

Why do so many people hate their jobs? 🤔

- Bad manager
- Low pay
- No growth
- Long working hours
- Toxic coworkers
- No autonomy
- Boring work
- No appreciation
- No control over their time

Then I realised something

Naah...

The bigger problem is they're building someone else's brand

If a client loves your work
They still belong to the company

If you leave the company

The client doesn't follow you

Why?

Because the relationship belongs to the company

Not your personal brand 🫠

So while you have a job

Start building your personal brand alongside it

- Side hustle
- Content creation
- Freelancing
- Writing
- Consulting
- Digital products
- Online business

Do whatever you want

Just build something that sticks with you

Not something you lose the moment you leave your job

And when your own income can consistently replace your salary

Then you have a choice

Because I've seen people begging for job extensions at 45 🫠

So...

✅ Start building your own thing

How to become EASILY successful?

Yes

You can do that

Just find what you're naturally good at

Look at Ronaldo and Elon Musk 🤔

They became successful in completely different ways

Never follow someone else's road to success

You don't even know if that road is meant for you

How to figure that out?

→ Look at things you're naturally good at

→ Where success feels like a hot knife through butter

→ Where you naturally learn faster than others

Because if you have to work REALLY hard even to pass an entrance exam

Imagine how fucking hard it'll be to stay in that field for 5 or 10 years 🫠

So...

Solution?

✅ Rapid testing

1️⃣ Along with your job, try a weekend side project

2️⃣ Try selling your skills, whether it's accounting, writing, or whatever you're good at

3️⃣ Start creating content on any social media platform you like

Start testing now 🤏

@KateBour Let me add something here

[Rakesh Vs Reality @RakeshVsReality]

How to do boring & repetitive work? 🤔

The real problem is LATE REWARDS

You work for hours

Nothing happens

No money
No appreciation
No visible progress

Your brain asks: "Why the fuck am I doing this?"

So...

Here's what you can do

1️⃣ Create an immediate reward

Don't wait 6 months to feel rewarded

Finished 10 cold emails?

Take a 5-minute break

Finished a difficult task?

Listen to your favourite song

Give your brain something to look forward to NOW

2️⃣ Make progress visible

Imagine writing 500 words every day

You might not see results today

But after 30 days, you've written 15,000 words

Track every day you show up

Now you can SEE your progress instead of just hoping for results

3️⃣ Break the work into smaller wins

Don't think about making $10,000 from freelancing

Think about:

- Finding 10 prospects
- Writing 5 personalised emails
- Improving one sales pitch
- Booking one call

You can't control when the money comes

But you can control today's target

4️⃣ Stop judging the work by today's results

You sent 100 cold emails and got no clients

Does that mean the work was useless?

Not necessarily

Maybe your targeting is wrong

Maybe your offer sucks

Maybe your emails land in spam

Track what you learn, not just what you earn

5️⃣ Separate the work from the reward

You don't need to enjoy writing every email

You need to understand why you're writing them

The email is boring

But learning how to acquire customers can change your business

Focus on what the boring task is building

So...

Stop expecting your brain to stay excited about a reward that's months away

Create small wins TODAY

Make progress visible

And keep working towards the bigger reward 🤏

Cost of being kind

[Rakesh Vs Reality @RakeshVsReality]

Are you a People-Pleaser? 🤔

What does people-pleasing look like?

Person A: "I'll help you because I want to"

Person B: "I'll help you because I'm afraid you'll stop liking me and exclude me from the group"

If you're Person B , you're a People-Pleaser

And as usual, many things that thing shape you is your childhood

Imagine 👀

Child 1:

Their parents allow them to disagree, make mistakes, and express anger without withdrawing love 😇

They gradually learn:

"I can disagree with someone and still be loved"

Child 2:

Their parents become angry when they disagree, ignore them when they're upset, or praise them mainly when they're obedient

They may gradually learn:

"I get love and affection only if I listen to them" 🫠

Child 2 will more likely to become a people-pleaser

Why?

1️⃣ Fear of rejection

They think saying NO means losing friends, love, or acceptance

2️⃣ Conditional love

They learn that they have to perform, obey, or make others happy to feel worthy

3️⃣ Fear of conflict

They grow up believing that disagreement leads to anger, punishment, or rejection

4️⃣ Low self-worth

They think their needs are less important than everyone else's

5️⃣ Being needed = being loved

They keep helping everyone because they feel valuable only when someone needs them

So...

✅ Solution?

Start saying "NO" 🤏

But don't start with something where the price is too high

Start small

If a distant friend invites you to dinner and you don't want to go, say NO

What if you lose?

You lose a dinner invitation

What if you win? 🤏

You teach your brain that saying NO doesn't automatically mean rejection

You're training yourself to handle small conflicts without panicking

✅ Do it again
✅ And again
