BUILDING BETTER HABITS

What is Your Problem?

Leave us alone. We are peacefully minding our business. Our business is important to us. Our attention is on the right things. Things that matter to us. We are looking at our problems. And figuring out the best way to solve these problems. And you cannot have a problem with people minding their business. You cannot be upset that people are minding their business. You cannot devise ways to start bothering people who have nothing to do with you. People have focus. People have defined their priorities. People are following their priorities. They want peace. They want progress. And minding their business is the best way to find peace. So people are peaceful. Peaceful very far away from you. But that too, concerns you. You want to know why they are not interacting with everyone.

You want to bring chaos on their way. You want to do something that will upset them. You want their attention. You want them to be like you. You want other people to be idle like you. You want other people to be mediocre like you. You don’t know what you want. You have no goals. You don’t have a vision. You cannot think for yourself. You depend on mass thinking. And you think everyone is like you. Leave us alone. Find something better to do with your life. You definitely have things to do. But you are not creating time for them. You are not thinking about the future. You are not thinking about yourself. You have blind spots.  You think that things will remain the same. That things will be constant forever. You think you will continue being a defendant forever. You think your parents will continue supplying your needs forever. So you are using your free time to bother other people. People who are not interested in you.

It is absurd that you can be peacefully going about your life and someone somewhere is not happy with you. Someone is not happy that you have smooth operations. That your affairs are flowing smoothly. That you are concerned about things that matter to you. That you are peaceful. That you have managed to control your chaos. Someone is not happy that you don’t associate with him/her. Someone is not happy that you don’t behave like them. That you are different from them. And this person wants to do something to you. The person wants to create a false narrative about you. The person wants to harm you. So the person is devising ways to get to you. He/she is doing all these things deliberately. The person wants to disrupt your peace. The person wants to distract you from your important things.

The person wants to get you to talk. To argue with him/her. The person wants to make a fool out of you. The person wants to lower the standards. The person wants you dirt. The person wants to bring mediocrity in your life. The person wants to stall you.  Someone wants to slow you down. But you need to stand your ground. Continue minding your business. Continue solving your problems. Continue paying attention to your work and everything else that matters to you. Protect your peace. You owe no one an explanation. You don’t have to explain yourself to people. Your lifestyle choices have nothing to do with other people. Don’t explain yourself. Notice the person but pay no attention. Pursue your goals. Follow your dream. Work on activities that get you what you want. Live your life the way you want.

We live in a big society. And in a big society, we have all types of people. Including people who mind other people’s business. People that enjoy upsetting other people. People who love getting in the way of other people. People who cannot just focus on their lives. They always want to know what is happening in the next house. What people in the next house are eating or talking about? And there is nothing you can do about these people. They will always exist. They will always disturb. They will always be nosy. You just need to learn about their games. And watch them from a distance. As long as, whatever schemes they are devising are not criminal or evil, don’t waste your energy on them. Focus. Live your life. Make progress. It is not your fault that some people are idle or chosen to be idle. That is not your business.

Your business is to mind you. If, you love smooth operations, then no one should interfere in your operations. No one should steal your peace. And no one should force you, to abandon things that matter to you. If, someone is upset that you are focused and always organized, that is, that person’s problem. You have nothing to do with it. People should learn to grow up. People should learn how to think for themselves. If, the person interfering likes flowing with the masses, that again is his/her burden. The person will wake up when he/she wants to wake up. But in the meantime, mind your business. Mediocre should leave us alone. Idle people should leave us alone. Purposeless people should leave us alone. People who have failed to manage their lives should leave us alone. People who cannot make the right decisions for themselves should leave us alone.

You got a future to think about. You got a life to live. You got ambitions. You want to get somewhere. You want your operations to function in a certain way. You have a whole vision for your life. Focus on these things. Get your life moving. Ignore the people that want to stall you. Warn the people that want to drag you in their nonsense. Detach yourself from people that have nothing important happening in their lives. People that are not investing in their lives. People who want to fill up their empty spaces with gossip. People who want to spread gossip. They have nothing good going on except rumors. You don’t need these kind of people. You don’t need negative energy. You don’t need people that enflame you. You don’t need people that upset you. You are okay minding your business. You made the right decision. Stick with it. Your life is your life. And your demands are important.

Let people who have a problem with the way you live, continue having a problem. If, they have time to have a problem with you, then let them have a problem with you. Let them continue piling their burdens. You have done nothing wrong by making certain decisions. You have done nothing wrong by minding your business. You have things that need your attention. And you have made the right call. Find more peace in your life. Simply your life. Lessen your burden. Pursue your ambitions. Work on your goals. Make progress. Do everything that matters to you. You are on the right path. Be unapologetic about it. People should leave you alone. People should find better things to do with their time. And if, they decide to make you their business. Then let them waste their time. Because you are going to mind your business. And you will continue to mind your business. You will not create room for distractions. You will not give attention to wrong people. And you will not allow other people to upset you. You will mind your business. You will remain focused.
