I really liked this: 'Problems in life are the evidence of your existence.' A simple yet profound reminder of how struggle and growth go hand in hand.
Your approach to negative thinking is thought-provoking, especially in how you distinguish fear as a short-term motivator. Fear is such an interesting psychological phenomenon, when it helps us prepare, it’s useful. But when it fuels worry and chronic anxiety, it becomes a burden. As you said, the key is recognising whether it's leading us to meaningful action.
I was tired, tired of giving in. So much wisdom packed into this sentence. It's a great story no matter when we read it. Sometimes we'll be surprised at the outcome when we did something extraordinary, even at the expense of ourselves.
Great entry to the challenge Mayank. I also liked the quote that Dom pulled out.
The fact that we have problems is evidence that we're living.
I want to link that to another quote that I can't remember but I'll try and summarise is that our aims as humans shouldn't be to eradicate our problems completely but to replace them with better problems.

Great read, Mayank!
Thanks for sharing your perspective on fear, Dom.

Those moments are euphoria. Thanks for the read, Moon.
When you enjoy your own writing, it's a great sign!

Yup, that's reality. We can say that we cannot get a perfect life, but continue simplifying it.
