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.
Hi Akash, how are you doing this evening?
Akash, your problem isn’t that you have this desires/wants. Rather it’s the judgements that you place upon yourself for desiring/wanting those things, “you shouldn’t have that desire Akash!”. It creates tension and cognitive dissonance. Once you let go this meta level bullshit of you judging you for everything, you’ll be at ease.
Have a lovely evening,
Akash
Hi Akash, how are you doing this evening?
It is foolish to think that you can change yourself by taking some action. And Akash you beat yourself up for not taking action. But alas, it is that damn belief that haunts you. Every day. No, you don’t need to take any action. About the ONLY thing you have to do is just observe. See it for it is. I promise you, a very beautiful thing will follow, you’ll see a change within you. However, to you it wouldn’t matter because you’re just too busy being in the moment, observing, seeing.
Have a lovely night,
Akash
Hi Akash, how are you doing today ?
Hey man I’m gonna be honest with you, it’s gonna take a while. You’ve got to be patient with yourself. You’ve got to learn to fail in love with the process itself!
Have a lovely evening now
Akash
Hi Akash, how are you doing today?
Past is dead. Future doesn’t exist. What you have is Now.
Have a lovely evening

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?
Do you know why you’re not making any changes despite you constantly having this sinking feeling that you’re unhappy? Comfort. You see, all these thinking, worrying, mediocrities, etc they are very comforting to you. And your brain is like, why do we even have to venture I’m so comfortable in this mediocrity. To your brain, it’s not a problem!
However, it is a problem. Because deep down you don’t want this mediocrity. You don’t want these comforts. You want to excel. And so you have got to overcome this Resistance. You’ve got be courageous.
And You’ll fall along the way. Many times. Just get back up and try again.
Thanks, have a beautiful day

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?
Akash, you know what your problem is? You lack purpose. Duh. And here’s the kicker, you think that you can think your way out of your lack of purpose. I.e. you can think and get to know what your deepest purpose is. Logically it makes sense. Going inward. But it’s extremely hard. You know what is easy? Going outward. And here’s the funny thing that happens when you go outward, the outward things/people starts acting as a mirror showing your inner you. So, you’ve got to be out there enjoying life, having fun. You’ll find your purpose while dancing with the world. Let’s go!
Thanks, have a beautiful day

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?
Sorry I was late to reach out to you today. I know that sometimes you are not strong enough. And that is okay. Take a step back, reevaluate the situation, and try again. As long as you try again, everything’s good. So keep trying my friend.
Thanks, have a lovely evening
Akash
P.S. Reminds me of this quote from Dark Knight Rises, “Why do we fall? So that we can get back up again.”
Hi Akash, how are you doing today?
Hopelessness. It’s when your brain has lot of evidence from the past and is now very certain about the doom-ness in the future. But do you see that the very notion of hopelessness implies a certain outcome in the future. Which in turn implies a fixed and predictable future. Don’t you think that that is absurd? Logically, you can falsify the concept of hopelessness. But that still doesn’t ignore the fact that you feels this way. And people usually take actions based on feelings rather than rationality. So, what you really need to do is to use rationality to evoke different emotions that are helpful to you, which in turn would govern your decisions.
Have a beautiful day

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?
Akash, if you look at all the people you admire, all the people you aspire to be, all the things you aspire to do, etc you’ll see that they all point in this general direction of a desire to be happy, peaceful and content. What does it say about you?
Thanks, Have a beautiful day.
