Life, in most cases, will not go according to your plans. The sooner you see, accept this truth, and act accordingly, the wiser you will be.

Let's see, based upon calculation, we can only drive results and estimate that something might happen, but we can never be 100% sure about anything. Because, tell me, who knows what will happen in the coming moment? No one does. That's why you might think something, do something else, and something entirely different will happen. These three things will never connect perfectly. Our ego repeatedly misguides us, making us think we are something we are not. We can only think and act according to what we think should be done, but actually, we should always act according to the situation, because no one knows what will happen. We should strategize based on reality, not just thoughts, because strategy itself is a question and there is no guarantee that things will happen as planned. But still, up to a certain extent, we can predict and estimate that something might happen a certain way if we consider reality. Understand that you should always act according to reality, which means you should calculate based on what is actually happening, not just on thoughts. This might sound a bit different, but questioning this will help us understand what is actually happening.

What we think is based on what we have seen and understood, but what actually is, should be seen as reality. Seeing reality as it is, is wisdom. Our thoughts are created by a lot of information, but they can never think in the direction they should. For example, if there are a lot of mangoes in a basket, can they think about apples? No, right? They will only think about mangoes. Similarly, your mind can't think about information it doesn't have. Thought, by its very nature, is limited. We can only think in the direction that our current information allows. Therefore, don't live in your thoughts, don't get caught in the preparation of your thoughts, because thought, by its very nature, is limited. You can only think in the directions your current information allows.

So, control your thoughts a bit and open your eyes to see and understand what actually is. Let's try to understand with an example. Suppose there are two situations where you have to make a big decision. Let's say you want to appoint someone as the CEO in your company. How will you do that? Will you base it on your imagination, thinking that they have leadership qualities and look good? No, right? You will analyze based on facts and data, considering their past experience, actual thinking, hobbies, and so on. You will make decisions based on facts, not just thoughts. The same way, you should make decisions in your life based on reality, considering all possible angles of a situation and finding the best solution among them, because there is never just one solution to a problem. There are always many different solutions, and you have to choose the best one for you.

However, I'm not saying you should completely ignore your thoughts. No, that's not it. Without thinking, how will you make decisions? That would be foolish. But I'm saying don't get caught up in your thoughts, don't make decisions based solely on desires. Mix your thought process with practicality, calculating based on reality and then making decisions. Don't take decisions based solely on desires and expect great results, because that will never happen.

Let me share a personal life experience. A long time ago, I had a great passion for books since childhood. From the age of 15-16, I had a craze for reading many books, especially self-help books. I still love them and read them. Back then, I didn't have money for books as they were expensive. But when someone has a deep desire, they find a way to fulfill it. Similarly, I always found a way to read books despite not having money. Even now, I manage to get books at minimal cost. Why? Because someone who truly desires something will find a way to achieve it. This doesn't need lengthy explanations.

This is the way to move forward in life, by acting according to reality. For now, that's it. We'll meet again in the next blog. Thank you.
