You will always...

An intimate inner speech I conjured in the wee hours of today. It is as much addressed to me as it is addressed to all of you. Thank you for reading.
You will always be judged. You might as well accept it now and do whatever it is that you want to do anyway. You will be judged. It is inevitable but it is not as scary or as bad as you might think. It is just some other person's opinion. It doesn't matter. What matters is how you see yourself because you are your harshest judge. And please, love and accept yourself. Let yourself try and be new, different, unimaginable things. You never know who you are until you let yourself be and experience even the things you never thought you would.
You never know where life will take you. So don't be scared to live, love, share and make mistakes. Don't be scared to fail or be hurt. Every wound eventually heals and makes you stronger. Every failure is just another step toward success. The worst thing you can do is never try.
I think I'm too scared of what will happen if I do “this or that”, that I forget that doing “this and that” means living. And I'm scared of living. I'm scared of making mistakes, of disappointing people, of changing, of facing the unknown…It is human to be scared, but you must never let fear stop you from anything. Be brave and fearless. Or be scared but do it anyway. Be a person that you can be proud of. Do everything so you regret nothing. Learn from everything and everyone. Be your own hero.
Yesterday is gone. And there is no tomorrow. All you have is now. Be present. Be alive.
I realise this countless times. And every time it feels differently. Every time I learn something new. The words might be similar but they resonate in a new way within me. It is important that you realise some things on your own. You can read as much as you want about it but true enlightenment comes in solitude - conversing with yourself, thinking and contemplating. You discover and create your own truths.

Nothing is real. All is perception.

Some of my thoughts about reality, perception and human behaviour. You don't have to agree or say anything. I just wanted to share.
If you think about it, nothing is actually real. It is all about perception. Everyone has their own perception of reality, their personal opinions and points of view, their unique experiences that inevitably build distinctive beliefs and understanding of life. You will never be in the same reality as anyone else. You can never truly put yourself in someone else’s shoes; feel what they feel; think the way they think; see the things they see…We are born to be unique - one of a kind. We can either judge and condemn each other for our differences, or accept and appreciate them. It is our choice whether to view them as liabilities and deny them or see them as assets and embrace them. Everything is up to us.
Life is not a competition, but a journey! Let’s make it worth our while.
