Are you a loser?

The following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

Acharya Prashant (AP): You are doing the right thing but not finding validation of it from your peers. So, in spite of doing the right thing and living rightly, or at least beginning to live rightly, you feel as if something deeply wrong is happening with you. It’s a bad situation.

Change your company. Don’t let them tell you that you are a loser or a good-for-nothing or a drunkard or whatever. For a change something good is happening to you. Why do you want to convince yourself that life is bad? I will tell you the reason.

There are too many people with very distorted definitions of good life hanging around you. They keep on teaching you; they keep on educating you. They keep on cultivating the wrong ideas in you. They keep on telling you what good life is like. You don’t find your life concurring with their ideas, their concept of a good life, so you have begun to feel as if you are stuck and miserable. You are not.

Have a certain sureness, have a spine. Stand up to the idiots. Don’t allow them to influence you or belittle you. Have faith, first of all.
