Self Doubt?

Hey all , Namasthe and Greetings.

Welcome to the Blog Voice of Chittan.

In life, we often encounter doubters who question our abilities and potential. Like gold, individuals with exceptional qualities face scrutiny and doubt, while those with ordinary talents might pass by unnoticed, like iron. However, it is crucial to remember that being doubted doesn't diminish our value; rather, it is an opportunity to prove our worth and transform doubt into strength. This inspirational analogy will remind you to embrace your inner gold and rise above the skepticism that surrounds you.

Gold vs. Iron: Unraveling the Analogy

Imagine two precious metals side by side: gold, with its radiant luster, and iron, known for its strength and resilience. When it comes to their worth, gold is unquestionably valuable, while iron is relatively common. Similarly, in life, individuals who possess unique talents, ambitions, and dreams are often compared to gold. Their abilities shine brightly, attracting both admirers and skeptics.

On the other hand, people with ordinary skills might not face the same level of scrutiny as they are perceived as common, like iron. However, the critical point to remember is that this comparison does not define our worth. It is simply an indication that we possess something extraordinary that deserves attention.

The Crucible of Doubt: Challenges and Opportunities

In the crucible of life, doubt acts as a furnace, subjecting us to intense heat and pressure. It can be uncomfortable and discouraging, but just like gold, we have the potential to emerge stronger and purer. Doubt provides us with opportunities to grow, learn, and refine ourselves.

Remember, doubts often arise from the fear of the unknown or the fear of failure. Those who doubt your abilities might be projecting their insecurities onto you or simply lack the vision to see your true potential. It is essential not to internalize these doubts but rather use them as fuel for self-improvement and resilience.

Polishing Your Shine: Perseverance and Self-Belief

When gold is mined from the earth, it doesn't immediately shine in its full glory. It requires skillful craftsmanship to cut, shape, and polish it into exquisite jewelry. Similarly, our abilities might need refining, and that process takes time and dedication.

In the face of doubt, perseverance becomes your greatest ally. Keep working on your skills, nurture your talents, and believe in yourself. Surround yourself with supportive individuals who recognize your worth, just like skilled craftsmen who see the potential of raw gold.

Setting Your Own Standards: Defying Expectations

One of the remarkable qualities of gold is that it sets its own standards. It doesn't seek validation from others to prove its worth. Similarly, you should never let others' doubts dictate your journey. Defy expectations, break barriers, and march to the beat of your own drum.

Be proud of your uniqueness and let your accomplishments speak for themselves. Remember that you don't need to convince others of your abilities; you only need to believe in yourself and keep pushing forward.

The journey of gold from ore to precious metal is a metaphor for our own evolution from doubt to strength. Embrace the doubts that come your way, for they present an opportunity for growth. Just like gold's radiance, let your abilities shine bright, and don't be afraid to be different. Remember, it is not the doubts that define us but how we choose to respond to them that truly matters. Embrace your inner gold, and the world will witness your brilliance and value.

That Random day in my life.....

That day began like any other, filled with gratitude to Narasimha and hope for the day ahead. I went to work, but by mid-day, something shifted. I fell sick—suddenly, unexpectedly—and as the hours passed, my condition worsened. It wasn’t just an ordinary illness; this time, it felt heavy, like a storm I couldn’t escape. For a moment, I wondered if I would survive. And in that quiet space, where everything else faded, two thoughts consumed me: What about my son? Will my husband manage without me? And then a strange question arose—Is my purpose done? Am I leaving because I’ve already fulfilled what I came to do? ( may be if we feel that moments are our last seconds and if we feel that we don't see tomorrow,then the most precious things alone we might be remember and we would recollect ..it would have scroll down like a reel those precious moments, and so i felt about my son and husband) After several tests, the diagnosis finally came through: viral and bacterial pneumoni...

The Bird Who Chose to Fly Higher

Hey all, Namasthe and Welcome to The Voice of Chittan ! I’m back with another soulful reflection—one that speaks to every heart that’s ever felt unheard, every spirit that’s been tested, and every dream that’s dared to rise above the noise. Today’s blog is a story of resilience, mindful living, and the quiet strength that often goes unnoticed—until it chooses to fly high. Let’s dive in. In a quiet forest, there lived a bird unlike the rest. It wasn’t the loudest, nor the fastest. It didn’t compete for attention or join the noisy flocks that filled the skies with chaos. This bird had a different way of being—it moved slowly, intentionally, and mindfully. Its path wasn’t always clear, but its heart was steady. Every day, it focused on what mattered—its purpose, its values, and its inner peace. But the world around it didn’t understand silence. A flock of noisy birds began to notice this quiet one. They squawked and laughed, mocking its calm demeanor. “Why are you so slow?” they ...

The Silent Strength of True Relationships

Hey all, Namaste ! 🙂 Life is full of ups and downs, victories, and struggles. Along the way, we meet countless people, but only a few truly matter. These are the ones who accept us just as we are, celebrate our wins, and support us through our toughest times without ever making us feel small. In this blog, let's dive into why these genuine relationships are the real treasures of our lives and why we should never take them for granted. In the journey of life, we encounter numerous individuals, each leaving their mark on our existence in unique ways. Among these, a select few stand out, offering unconditional acceptance and unwavering support. These relationships, marked by silent strength and genuine care, are the true treasures of our lives. In a world often driven by judgment and criticism, finding someone who accepts you as you are is rare and precious. These are the people who see beyond your flaws and mistakes, understanding the essence of who you truly are. They do not seek ...

The Beauty of Slowing Down

Hey all,Namaste. thank you for tuning in voice of chittan blog. Today, I want to talk about something we often overlook but desperately need: "the art of doing nothing.” Life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn’t it? There are days when no matter how hard we plan, things just don’t go our way. Deadlines get missed, expectations aren’t met, and sometimes, it feels like the world is rushing by while we’re stuck in slow motion. It’s frustrating, right? But what if I told you that these unexpected pauses are not failures—they’re opportunities? Opportunities to breathe. To reflect. To just be. Think about it. From the moment we wake up, we’re chasing something—goals, recognition, validation, or even the next item on our to-do list. But do we ever pause and ask ourselves, “Why?” Why are we running? And more importantly, where are we running to? Here’s the thing: not every day has to be about hitting targets or checking boxes. Sometimes, the most meaningful moments come ...

If the Entire Team Fails, Then the Manager Also Fails: Understanding Shared Responsibility

" When a team fails, the manager/leader fails too. A leader never have blaming tone,but sets an inspiration". Hey all Namasthe, In the world of organisation ,failure is often seen as a setback, a sign that something went wrong. When an entire team fails, it can feel like a disaster. However, the true measure of a manager is not in how they handle success, but in how they manage failure. While a bad manager might blame their team to remain in their boss’s good books, a good manager understands that leadership means taking responsibility, learning from mistakes, and turning failure into an opportunity for growth. Here’s how a manager can win, even when their team fails. 1. Accept Responsibility The first step in turning failure into victory is for the manager to accept responsibility. This doesn’t mean shouldering all the blame, but rather acknowledging their role in the team’s performance. A good manager understands that they are accountable for the team's results, and t...

తండ్రి మరణం ,కూతురికి నేర్పిన పాఠాలు

మాతృ గర్భం నుండి సముద్రం గర్భం వరకు, తల్లి చల్లని ఒడి నుండి మృత్యు మాత యొక్క అగ్ని ఒడి వరకు జరిగే ప్రయాణంలో నీ ప్రశ్నలు నీవే, జవాబులు నీవే, పోరాటం నీవే.. బతుకు నీదే.. చావు నీదే. పుట్టుక, మరణం రెండు ఒంటరే. ఈ రెండి మద్య నువ్వు పంచిన స్పూర్తి.. అదే నీ జీవితం జీవితంలో అత్యంత ఘర్షణాత్మక సంఘటనలు మన వ్యక్తిత్వంలో బలమైన మార్పును కలిగిస్తాయి. Losing my father was one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. But you know what? It changed me. It taught me lessons I don’t think I would have learned otherwise. It’s like life whispered, "Here’s the truth—take it, hold it, and grow with it." One of the first things I learned was how important it is to stand on your own.I realized I had to become that for myself. Independence isn’t just about surviving—it’s about finding strength you didn’t know you had. And trust? Oh, that was a big one. I’ve learned to be careful with trust. Not everyone deserves it, and that’s okay. But here’s the thing—I haven’t closed myself off. I’ve just beco...

Your cracks in life are golden

Hey all...Namaste🙂 let me tell you about something I recently came across that completely changed how I see life. It’s this Japanese philosophy called Kintsugi. Ever heard of it? It’s basically the art of fixing broken pottery with gold. But hang on, it’s way more than that. Imagine this—you drop your favorite ceramic mug. It shatters. The first instinct? Toss it..we will throw it away, isn't it? Because broken things are useless, isn't it? But this is Not in Kintsugi. In Kintsugi, those cracks are celebrated in its own way. You know how? They’re filled with gold. And when you look at the repaired piece, it’s not just a mug anymore. It’s a story, a piece of art. It’s more valuable than it was before. And that got me thinking—what if we looked at ourselves the same way? I am sure you agree with me if I say this..., life breaks all of us in some way. Maybe it’s a failed relationship, a career setback, losing someone you love, or just that quiet feeling that you’re not enough. We...
