I’ve been thinking — especially people living in a place like Gurgaon — it’s so easy to feel like you’re falling behind.

One guy is driving an Audi, someone else just bought a flat in DLF, and another is posting reels from Europe.

And suddenly, what you have starts to feel… meh.

WTF I’m doing in life?

But honestly, the biggest happiness killer I’ve seen?

Comparison — DON’T FU*KING DO IT. DON’T KILL YOURSELF!

We all start chasing things not because we truly want them, but because someone else has them.

And then we start thinking in multiple directions, no peace, no joy — just pressure.

Trust me – You need to rethink and focus on other aspects of life – LOVE, WIFE, GF, FAMILY, etc.

Pick one thing that really matters to you.

Just one. And chase that like mad.

Whether it’s peace of mind, fitness, building your own thing — whatever.

But don’t chase 10 random goals just to prove something to people who don’t even care.

Also, take a moment to see what you already have.

Maybe it’s time with your family, decent health, or just the freedom to chill on a weekend.

That stuff counts, bro.

A lot.

Next time you find yourself scrolling and feeling low, ask: “Is this something I actually want? Or just something I’m told to want?”

Life’s not a race, and definitely not a flex contest.

Let’s not kill our happiness chasing random stuff.
