Spreading Positivity

  Are We Losing Peace While Chasing Happiness? ….. Recently, I met a soldier who has been serving his country for more than three decades. During our conversation, he shared something that stayed with me deeply. He said that when he first joined the army, there was only one simple rule, whatever happens, give your best for your country. There were fewer formalities, fewer restrictions, and more passion. But today, according to him, life has become filled with endless rules, regulations, paperwork, and precautions. Before doing anything, people are taught how to protect themselves first. Layers of safety, fear, and overthinking slowly reduce the courage and excitement with which people once lived and worked.

Instead of living in the present, many are living in fear of “what if.” Overthinking has silently become a habit. A small problem turns into a mountain because the mind keeps creating stories that may never happen. In my daily interactions, I have realized that calmness is no longer natural for many people; it has become something they are searching for desperately. Recently, I met a young boy at my clinic who had a stammering difficulty. Before we could even begin working on improving his speech, his mind was already occupied with fear. He was not thinking about recovery or progress. Instead, he kept worrying about future situations, “What if people laugh at me?”, “What if I never get confidence?”, “What if I fail in interviews?” I quietly obs...
