Me and my thoughts

I am the definition of an average guy. Born in a normal middle class family, with normal looks, physique and mentality, completed my degree, has a job that pays 6 figures (in Indian rupees). I do not lack many things, mostly because I'm privileged. The blood, sweat and tears of my parents played its part. If I have to point to the things I lack, there are very few that come to my mind. I lack the will to put in effort. The composure to work hard for something. I received a lot of things without working really hard for them. Living became a mundane thing. So much so that I forgot how to put in effort. To be free requires you to put in effort ,to cut down things that pull you down. To love or to be loved needs you to make efforts, towards the other person. To become famous, you need to put efforts in raising your status. To raise your status, you have to put in efforts too.

How do you put efforts into loving someone? It can be your family or your friends or your SO. There's no easy answer. In fact, I do not have an answer. All I could come up with was start with small things. Talking about each other's day is a basic thing. Seeing each other everyday? That could be an answer. Making fun of each other? People do that. Talking shit about others, gossip, sharing a meal. There are many things you could do. What if you're far from each other? How do you put in efforts? What else could you do other than talking? Seeing each other? Video calls make it somewhat possible. Nothing else comes to mind. Talk to me if you know any other ways.

Same thing with dreams. To realize them you need to put in efforts. It varies person to person, dream to dream. All one could do is put in efforts consistently. I recently started going to the gym. There are a couple of reasons. The best one is I do not pay any fee because it's free - the office gym. I could not keep the consistency up. So, I am doing the next best thing. To do some exercise that keeps me active. It could just be some stretching and push ups or walking for a kilometer or two. I am putting some efforts in to make myself fit, active and possibly likable.

I am not drawing any conclusion. I am still experiencing life. I will change my opinions based on my experiences, people surrounding me, cities I visit/live-in. I am a chameleon. I am not bad. I am just surviving the world.

Cya soon with something more interesting!
