Dear Jeyamohan,
I must present myself as a person who has failed in all fields. I had numerous aspirations for my life and career, but due to a variety of circumstances, I lost everything. I failed in my career because I can’t cope with people. I have no positive relations either. This leads to a lack of activity in both my personal and professional lives. When I reflect on my life, I often experience depression, which further contributes to my inactivity. I am watching your videos, and they are very inspirational. However, I find it difficult to implement the instructions in my personal and professional life, as I feel like my life is nearing its end.

Dear S,
I have only one question to pose: Why are you writing to me? So you have something to say, something to hope for, right? You want to open your dark room and come out, right?
I know there are objective physical forces that decide our lives, and sometimes we can’t do much to conquer them. However, the imagination we hold about ourselves often determines our life. If you are imagining yourself as a failed personality, you are one.
Just examine your own mentality and understand why you are creating such images in your mind. What matters more is the reason you are expressing yourself and writing a letter like this to me. Do you intend to establish this for yourself? What is the reason behind it?
May I explain that reason? You want to believe that you are actually bigger than what you are now. You want to blame the environment of fate for not attaining that stature. Therefore, you are portraying yourself as a “failed person.” This phenomenon is not uncommon in our society. We are surrounded by numerous ‘failed geniuses’ and ‘misunderstood mahatmas’.
If you want to live your life, please skip these kinds of self-narrations. No one will believe these stories about you; they will only value you based on your achievements and current life. Evaluate you according to your real talents and potential. Do something and learn from it.
Live your life. You have only one life, and it is passing away quickly. You have no time. Do what makes you happy. Learning things through experience is the only way to be happy. If you are living a life that is fruitful for you, you will slowly develop a personality of your own. People will acknowledge it. That will be the definition of your personality.
