I have been listening to a lot of content on deep thoughts. Do thoughts lead to action? “Karam” means action.
Now, I am realizing that thoughts have a significant impact on us.
Many times, when I travel long distances, past thoughts resurface in my mind. When I repeatedly think about them and try to justify myself, I notice a pattern—these thoughts often lead me to feel depressed. I question why certain things happened to me, and this realization was my first eye-opener.
It feels true that everything starts with a simple thought, and suppressing our thoughts can lead us to suppress others as well.
While staying with a relative, I remember being criticized. At first, I thought it was meant to help me improve, but later, I realized it was an attempt to suppress me. Sometimes, I feel that people appreciate those who follow their wishes, stay within their expectations, and remain beneath them.
So, I have learned to observe my thoughts. The past is over, and I cannot change it. However, I can choose to stop dwelling on it. The future is yet to come, so I focus on the present moment.
It’s time to focus on the now.
