The Problem and The Shadow

“Worry gives a small thing a big shadow.” -Swedish Proverb

This is a very interesting proverb I read today. It applies to language learners too. A lot of my conversation club members will agree to this that they were unnecessarily being scared with the shadow when it was nothing really big. 

Stop giving so much importance to people’s judgement. 
Two things:
1. It doesn’t matter.
2. Even if you are the best person in the world, there will be people who will think you are not soooooooo awesome. Even Shah Rukh Khan has haters. 

Next time you see yourself procrastinating something, look for your fear of being judged. This fear of judgment is dangerous. It’s your block. Remove it. You will have to remove it again and again every day. The problem is sometimes small but its shadow scares us. our fears exaggerate the problem. 

What’s the solution?
Do more of it.
