I want to do everything, so I do nothing !

 Are you ambitious? I am, and sometimes I think it’s the very thing holding me back.

The older I get, the stronger this urgency becomes—the feeling that I need to become something, build something, leave something behind. I’m terrified of living a life that passes quietly, of arriving and leaving this world without making any real impact. More than failure, I fear mediocrity.

Lately, I find myself thinking about all the lives I want to live. I want to help people. I want to write books. I want to build businesses. I want to create art. I want to explore every part of myself and see how far each version of me could go. I don’t want to be limited to one path when there are so many things that call to me.

But that’s where the problem begins.

I want so much from life that I end up frozen. Every dream feels important. Every path feels meaningful. Choosing one feels like abandoning the others. So instead of moving forward, I stay where I am—thinking, planning, imagining.


My ambition has become a crowded room full of possibilities, each one demanding attention. And while I’m busy listening to all of them, I’m not taking enough steps toward any of them.

I want to do everything, so I do nothing.

Maybe the answer isn’t to become everything at once. Maybe it’s to trust that a life is long enough to hold many chapters. To choose one thing today without giving up the others forever. To understand that progress comes from commitment, not from keeping every door open.

I still dream of all those versions of myself. I still want more than one life can probably offer. But I’m starting to realize that the only way to reach any of it is to begin somewhere.

One step. One path. One fig picked from the tree.

Then another.

It's Okay to be Ordinary !

Image
 In a world obsessed with perfection, being ordinary often feels like a rebellion. We are surrounded by curated Instagram feeds, movies about superheroes, and stories of people achieving extraordinary success. The message is loud and clear: to matter, you must be exceptional. But what if I told you it’s perfectly okay to be ordinary? It’s okay to have a regular 9-to-5 job, to not have millions of followers, or to simply be an introvert with a small circle of friends. It’s okay to be shy, to blend into the background, and to have moments where you feel uncertain or awkward. Despite what social media and pop culture tell us, life isn’t a competition for fame, beauty, or brilliance. Yet, there’s an invisible pressure that pushes us to be someone else. Deep down, many of us carry the quiet yearning to be more: more attractive, more talented, more interesting, more liked. We scroll through social media, and it seems like everyone is living the life of our dreams. They’re traveling to ex...

A heartwarming encounter with a grandma at Jalpadevi Temple,Chovar

Image
Have you ever stopped to talk to an elderly person, just to listen to their stories and gain their wisdom? I recently had a beautiful encounter with a grandma at a temple, and it reminded me of the importance of slowing down and connecting with our elders. It was a not-so-fun day at the Jalpadevi Temple located in chovar,kirtipur with people coming and going, praying, and taking pictures. I noticed a grandma sitting alone on a bench, looking at a group of teenagers making TikTok videos. She was smiling at their antics, and I could tell that she was enjoying watching them. I was sitting in a corner with my friends, but something about her caught my eye. We made eye contact, and I felt drawn to her. I got up and walked over to her, sitting down beside her. She welcomed me with a friendly smile, and we struck up a conversation. Trust me she was so cute. I asked her about her life and how she had come to be at the temple alone. She told me that she was a regular visitor to the temple and t...
