[00:00:03] Hey everyone, this is Voice with Warikoo, with my Ankur Warikoo.
[00:00:07] In this English podcast series, I cover many things in this English podcast series.
[00:00:11] Career, relationships, personal finance, success, failure, and frankly, something else that comes to the time.
[00:00:19] Every week on Thursday, a new episode on your favorite podcast platform.
[00:00:25] Voice with Warikoo.
[00:00:28] So I received an email yesterday.
[00:00:31] It's from this girl who said that she has trouble sleeping.
[00:00:34] That she cannot shut down the brain.
[00:00:36] There was an email that said that a girl was saying that I was sleeping in a sleep.
[00:00:42] My brain is always active.
[00:00:45] And she said that she tried acknowledging her emotions, tried speaking to her family,
[00:00:50] yet somehow can't figure out what is keeping her up.
[00:00:54] So she told her that she tried to understand her emotions,
[00:00:58] and tried to talk to her family,
[00:00:59] but she didn't understand why she was so active.
[00:01:04] She was sleeping.
[00:01:05] So I asked her,
[00:01:07] What is it that usually occupies your mind?
[00:01:09] I asked her,
[00:01:10] Is there any things that are more in your mind?
[00:01:14] And she replied,
[00:01:16] And she replied,
[00:01:16] Job search,
[00:01:17] Loan,
[00:01:18] Shadi related talks,
[00:01:19] Where to settle conversation,
[00:01:21] Move back to India,
[00:01:22] Or stay in the States a little longer.
[00:01:24] It's hard to pick priorities in life,
[00:01:26] Because we have limited time,
[00:01:28] Like personal health,
[00:01:29] Career,
[00:01:29] Mental peace,
[00:01:30] Or good money.
[00:01:32] So she said,
[00:01:32] That there are many things,
[00:01:33] Like job search,
[00:01:35] Do it,
[00:01:36] Do it,
[00:01:38] Do it,
[00:01:39] Do it,
[00:01:39] Do it,
[00:01:40] Do it,
[00:01:40] Do it,
[00:01:40] Do it,
[00:01:41] Do it,
[00:01:41] Do it,
[00:01:41] Do it,
[00:01:41] Do it,
[00:01:43] And in all the things,
[00:01:44] I have a priority of life,
[00:01:46] Decide to decide to make it difficult,
[00:01:48] Because time is very limited.
[00:01:49] So focus on health,
[00:01:50] Or focus on career,
[00:01:51] Or mental peace,
[00:01:52] or do it,
[00:01:53] Or do it,
[00:01:53] Do it,
[00:01:54] And when I heard all of that,
[00:01:56] this was my reply.
[00:01:58] When I heard this all,
[00:01:59] I heard this reply.
[00:02:02] You are worried,
[00:02:03] Because you want everything,
[00:02:05] In your control.
[00:02:06] And you want everything,
[00:02:07] To work out.
[00:02:08] And you want every person,
[00:02:09] Who knows you,
[00:02:10] To be happy,
[00:02:11] With what you do.
[00:02:13] You are worried,
[00:02:14] Because you want to know,
[00:02:15] That everything in your life,
[00:02:17] Everything is your opinion.
[00:02:18] You want to know,
[00:02:19] That everything you do,
[00:02:20] That will be successful.
[00:02:22] And you also want to know,
[00:02:23] That every person,
[00:02:23] That is your opinion,
[00:02:24] That will be happy with this,
[00:02:25] That you are doing.
[00:02:27] But the reality is,
[00:02:29] These three important things.
[00:02:31] But the truth is,
[00:02:33] These three things.
[00:02:34] Number one,
[00:02:35] You control only,
[00:02:37] A small part of your life.
[00:02:38] And realizing this,
[00:02:40] Sets you free.
[00:02:42] You control a small part,
[00:02:45] And as soon as you understand,
[00:02:48] You will get free,
[00:02:48] So soon as you will,
[00:02:49] You will give yourself,
[00:02:51] You will give yourself,
[00:02:52] Number two,
[00:02:53] Everything will not work out.
[00:02:55] And it is not meant to work out.
[00:02:57] Life is the sum of,
[00:02:59] Small,
[00:02:59] Small things that work out,
[00:03:00] Not that one,
[00:03:01] Big thing that works out.
[00:03:03] In life,
[00:03:04] Everything does not work,
[00:03:05] And it is not necessary,
[00:03:06] That we do all work.
[00:03:08] Life is the meaning,
[00:03:10] That little things,
[00:03:11] That little things,
[00:03:12] That little things,
[00:03:13] That little things,
[00:03:16] That little things,
[00:03:26] That little things,
[00:03:28] That little things,
[00:03:29] That little things,
[00:03:32] or they'll be disappointed or they'll be angry.
[00:03:34] But that doesn't mean that they'll always remain that way.
[00:03:38] People react like you in the moment.
[00:03:42] And it's very difficult to see beyond that moment.
[00:03:46] So it's possible that in the moment,
[00:03:48] they're not happy,
[00:03:50] they're not angry,
[00:03:51] they're not angry.
[00:03:52] But it's not that they're not living in life.
[00:03:55] So set yourself free.
[00:03:59] You can be free.
[00:04:00] Do it.
[00:04:02] Realize that life is not this perfect picture
[00:04:05] that you need to get clicked in one go.
[00:04:08] Do it.
[00:04:08] Realize that life is not the perfect picture
[00:04:11] which you have to frame in one time
[00:04:13] and frame in your life.
[00:04:16] Life is actually a jigsaw puzzle
[00:04:19] of that same perfect image
[00:04:21] and you have to fit the pieces one by one.
[00:04:26] Life is like a jigsaw puzzle.
[00:04:27] That same perfect image
[00:04:30] that you want in your life.
[00:04:32] That jigsaw puzzle.
[00:04:34] And you'll have to make it one by one.
[00:04:38] You won't get it right the first time.
[00:04:41] But you will get it right.
[00:04:43] Eventually.
[00:04:44] You won't get it right.
[00:04:49] You won't get it right.
[00:04:50] But eventually,
[00:04:52] that puzzle will be gone.
[00:04:55] All the best.
