IDENTITY = ID + ENTITY

By

Do we truly understand the meaning of IDENTITY?


Look closer. It’s not just a word.

🔥 It’s IDENTITY= ID + ENTITY.

The ID is what the world sees -

Your designation, Your title. Your achievements.

We spend years nurturing this ID. But we quietly abandon the ENTITY.

▶️ The ENTITY is your real Self—

✅ Your emotional depth.

✅ Your beliefs and values.

✅ Your lived experiences.

✅ Your inner voice when no one is watching.

✅ Your resilience after failure.

When the ENTITY is ignored, the ID starts feeling hollow. You may look successful, yet feel disconnected.

☘️ True awareness begins :- 

✅ When you listen to your emotions instead of suppressing them. 

✅ When you honour your values instead of trading them for approval. 

✅ When you acknowledge your scars instead of hiding them.

Because the truth is simple and uncomfortable: 

A powerful ID without a nurtured ENTITY cannot sustain you.

👉 So in 2026, make a conscious choice. Not just to upgrade your skills. Not just to chase growth. But to nurture your ENTITY.

When your ENTITY is strong, your ID becomes unshakeable.

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.
