Living a life objectively in the waves of subjectivity all around.

We reach our destination when we know our direction and believe in our dedication.

We are more concerned with people’s lives, why they are so rising or going down, what they believe, and how much they deviate in their behaviours than focusing on our doings and our errors and omissions. 
We are busy correcting others. 
This is the design of living—not knowing what is to be done next in my life in the days ahead. 
In place of finding personal, professional, or social roles in messy conditions, we are satisfied criticizing how others are faulty. 
Even people comment on the stars of performers in games, plays, or art, though they don’t know more than rules and likings. 
Many of us are focused on the circumstances, never attempting to change them, even to a small degree. 
We are entities, making up the conditions, cursing them, and doing nothing different to create conducive environments. 
Put simply, we have to do something different from the herds. We have to be remarkable. Incidentally, we are not separate from them; rather, we are just a person in them. 
"Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes." Hugh Prather
Realize that what is happening, good or bad, will not last long. When you have fallen, it is an opportunity to rise not only up to your previous status but to a new horizon. 
"Whoever looks outside dreams, who looks inside awake." Carl Jung. 
Go a little deeper and see that it is different from what was there at the surface level. 
When you look at things ten times more than the average person, you bring new realities to the fore. 
Pay attention to peculiarities in movements in water; search for feeding, growth, jumping, mixing with other varieties, and other behaviours of fish in the ponds—more than what you have learned so far. It makes you special, and it becomes a true identity. 
We have the expertise to compare in all walks of life, particularly in the areas of comfort, but lack the stamina to compete, which is possible just by extending our efforts and sustaining what is hurting today. 
Saying, "I have been cheated," is a story. Repeating this story serves no purpose until some actions are taken to heal the wounds and formulate how to be more alert in handling onward affairs. 
My life is different from that of my friends, colleagues, siblings, neighbours, seniors, or juniors. It must be my prime concern—how and why? 
It leads me to know the objectivity of my life and to live a life away from all subjectivity in all spheres, real or unreal. 
Are you better than your previous year in any way? If not, this article is for you.

Recap
 
Remember, you are most effective and easily visible only when you pursue what you can be. 
Give up defining yourself, or never accept how people are defining you.
Start identifying the dots awaiting your actions. It may be in any field—health, education, ethics, social harmony, household economy, psychology, anthropology, and so forth. 
Take time, decide what is important in your life, and go ahead. 
You have the power to change the conditions by changing your attitude. It is so simple.
