  There was a boy in the meadows who wanted to conquer the woods. Whenever he tried to enter the woods, he was demotivated by his family, friends, society, and sometimes by his own mind, saying conquering the woods was a convoluted process, not something like a dropped penny picking game. You should have thought once more. Also, he often thought, why was he trying to conquer these convoluted woods? What's next after conquering this… was this something that important to him? But it was all his negativity. By keeping the logic aside, the 10-year-old boy once entered into the wide, dense woods, and with all his courage and enthusiasm, he put each of his steps with a little apprehension of negativity in his mind.  Time flowed like a river; his enthusiasm became negativity, his bravery turned to fear as the sky turned dark to darker,



His fear and heartbeat also increased. He heard sounds from his surroundings, the roars from the left, rumble from the right. The boy, with tears in his eyes, with all his courage and motivation gone, sat down near a tree and started doubting himself and his decision. But he was not ready to back down. With all his negativity and fears in his mind, he then started a battle not with the woods… but with his own mind, with his emotions, his feelings. He started to act against his feelings, work against his emotions, and found out ways to survive the woods. On the 3rd day, the boy conquered the woods and crossed the woods. By seeing him, everyone was surprised. The ones who tried to demotivate him and the society who called him a lunatic were admiring him. …Then one of them in the crowd asked him, how did you do this?

 

You are a 10-year-old boy... how did you make it?

Then the boy said loudly, "I conquered my mind, and my mind conquered the woods."

                                        

  Yes, this is the thing that happens to us also. We all enter into the woods with courage and enthusiasm like the boy, but we fail to conquer our fears, our insecurities. We all get stuck there and make an excuse to ourselves: it's hard, that's why I failed. But the hard truth is that everyone gets stuck or trapped in the woods, but the ones who conquer their fears, complexes, and insecurities will only win. Here, the world doesn't even care how you feel; it only looks if you win or lose. All we want to do is conquer our fears and move on like the boy did, and when success hits, give a speech to those unworthy people who are themselves lunatics and called you a lunatic.

                                                           it's the path that scares not the goal

                                                          it's the sun that scares more not the desert"
