I'm scared of Not being Enough.

By

💥 Fear Is Not Loud. It’s Silent — And It Controls Our Lives.

Some say FEAR is good, it keeps us on our toes.

Not all fear screams.
Some whisper and limit our choices. We don’t even notice.

Due to our hidden fears, we lose many opportunities.

A young professional met me after the my workshop.
He looked confident, sounded sharp — the kind of guy you'd assume has it all figured out.

But when we spoke privately, he said something that hit me hard:

🔥“Sir, I have a constant feeling of someone who doesn’t know enough.”
I am Not scared of the work, but I'm scared of Not being “enough.”

🗣️He shared how: 

  1. He overworks — fear of falling behind.
  2. He avoids asking questions in meetings — fear of not asking the best question.
  3. He hesitates in job interviews — fear of not matching the expectations.

He said, “I keep trying harder… but the fear never leaves. It quietly hides behind my effort.”

And I told him something very simple — not motivational, just real:

☘️ Fear doesn’t go away when we get better. Fear goes away when we accept these thoughts and become Honest.
👉 Honest with ourselves.
👉Honest with what we know and don’t know.
👉Honest with what we feel.
👉Honest with how we show up.

✅ How brain handles FEAR and know the science behind it.

React like a dog, or respond like a human?

Anger makes you lose the battle you’ve already won.  Take a breath, take control. I want to share an incident from years ago that stuck with me like Fevicol —it clung to my memory and completely transformed the way I perceive anger. One evening, I was out for my usual walk when I noticed a few street dogs resting by the roadside. Nearby, some children were playing. One of the boys began teasing a dog, and, unsurprisingly, the dog reacted—barking furiously and chasing after him. Startled, the boy ran away. Instinctively, I tried to intervene and shoo the dog away. The dog, now agitated, turned its attention to me and barked even more loudly. In that moment, something clicked. I had a sudden realisation: it's so easy to provoke a dog—just a gesture, a shout, or even driving past on a scooter can set it off. It doesn't take much. 👉 Then the deeper thought hit me: aren't we humans often the same? Someone says something offhand, cracks a joke at our expense, or makes a ca...

Our Monkey Brain - a Restless entity

By

The term "monkey brain" comes from ancient wisdom traditions and refers to our constantly active, restless mind. Just like a monkey, who is always moving and jumping from one branch to another. We have roughly 60,000 thoughts in a day. This mental chatter can leave us feeling drained, distracted, and disconnected from the present moment. But the good news? Like a playful monkey, the mind can be trained—with awareness, mindfulness, and gentle discipline. 📢 SOLUTION -     The journey starts with recognising this inner chatter – by OBSERVER TECHNIQUE. Practising Mindfulness – Being aware of your thoughts.  Start observing your thoughts. 10 mins of sitting in a quiet and relaxed environment. Recognise your thoughts as Negative or Positive. When you can recognise your thoughts, then you can easily maintain distance from them.  🧠  BRAIN IS A MUSCLE – By recognising one Negative thought and choosing to ignore it, you can throw it out of your system easily.
