Heys

Heys is a collection of my letters I send to myself. It's a way for me to step out of me and reflect on me, and life.

Hey Akash, how are you doing today?

I know you want to create a business. I know you’ll be good at that. I know that you know that. So what’s stopping you? Why aren’t you building yet?! Go create things!

Thanks, have a lovely day

Hey Akash, how are you doing today?

It’s hard man. It’s really hard. At the same time, you’re strong. Really strong. You got this!

Thanks, Have a lovely evening
Akash

P.S. And remember, I’m always here with you.

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?

You know, you think that you can fight this battle alone but we both know you’ve been struggling. You already know this, the real strength comes from a team. You gotta let people in your team man. That’s how you win!

Thanks, have a lovely evening
Akash

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?

You know, you’re afraid of other people’s criticism about you but did you stop to ponder how much do you criticize yourself? And honestly that also guards your giant wall that is fear of failure. You gotta stop criticizing yourself man. You get a pass. It doesn’t count.

Thanks, have a lovely day
Akash

P.S. Think about what your inner monologue looks like. Are you being an asshole to you ? Or are you being compassionate ?

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?

Akash, just one more Tim Ferris’s podcast, just one more book, just one more course, just one more thing won’t make you ready. Don’t you see, you’ll never be ready! And anyways it’s their wisdom, not yours. Wisdoms have experience component wrapped onto them. You can’t just apply someone else’s wisdom to your life. It just won’t stick!

Thanks, have a lovely day
Akash

P.S. You just gotta be patient with yourself man

Hey Akash, how are you doing today ?

You know, you gotta learn to trust yourself. Don’t question your every decision. I know it’s hard but you’ve got try harder. For yourself.

Have a lovely evening

Hi Akash, how are you doing this late evening ?

I don’t have anything specific to say to you today but I do want to continue this habit of talking to you every day, reflecting. You know, When you see a pattern emerging, it’s very critical to decide if you want to continue that way because it’s going to be habitual (automated). And I do want to continue with this :)

Have a good night
Akash

Hi Akash, how are you doing this fine evening?

Akash you’ve very high standards for yourself that you guard so diligently and with utmost importance. Ideally it’s cool. But there’s a slight problem here, your standards are high and your punishments (for not meeting them) extreme. It creates a vicious cycle of constantly punishing yourself. You need to give yourself a break. Let yourself off the hook you know. It’s okay to make mistakes. Just don’t let them hold you back.

Thanks, have a lovely evening

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?

If you’re smart, why aren’t you happy?

Thanks, have a lovely evening

Hi Akash, how are you doing this evening?

Akash, I think there’s an objective reality and there’s a practical/present reality. And you should never ignore practical reality.

For example, do you see that star ? Now, objectively speaking that start may or may not be dead. A certain omniscient person can take a look at this objectively and answer you. But that still doesn’t discard the fact that in the present moment the star seems very real to you. That is your reality at this moment. And you cannot ignore that.

Another example, Objectively speaking, someone can make the case that you’ve everything that a person can ask for and therefore you should be happy. But that doesn’t ignore the practical/present reality that you’re not. And you shouldn’t ignore that.

Only when you accept the present/practical reality that you can move forward/be at ease.

Have a lovely evening,
Akash
