How can you make 2019 a best year?

Image
Happy New Year  My Friends I have learned a lot previous year.... I learned that things don't always turn the way we planned, or the way we think they should. I have learned that there are things that go wrong that don't always get fixed. I have learned that some broken things stay broken and I have learned that you can get through bad times and keep looking for better ones.  No one can go back in time to change what has happened. So work on your present to make yourself a wonderful future. The New year is a great time to pause and reflect. To see what worked and what didn't in the previous year. And an opportunity to make adjustments moving forward. You need to make most of it.  How can you do that? How can you make 2019 a best year ever? Here I want to share few ways based on what I read and working on myself. # Know yourself What kind of person are you?   Are you expressive or introvert?  Are you logical or emotional? Do yo...

The beggar and the Stranger

                                                                    F rom my childhood days, I am very much into stories. I used to request my grandmothers to narrate one story every night before sleeping. This is one of my very favorite moment of my childhood. I love reading, listening and narrating stories, of all kind ( Motivational, Drama, Romantic, Funny, horror etc.) So, if this is the case with you,I would love to explore and share more stories with you. Type 'YES' if you want to drift with me in the pool of stories. Moving to this, lets just start. Recently, I bought this book to read named "THE POWER OF NOW" by Eckhart Tolle recommended by one of my friend. I just started reading this book and I wanted to share one story from the book which is quite enlightening. There was a beggar who had been sit...

Take one step Ahead.

Image
Take one step Ahead Its been a learning year for me, contemplating myself, confronting several shortcomings and striving to overcome them.  I have this problem of overthinking due to which I quit the idea of initiating or taking myself out of comfort zone. I make elaborate excuses as to why I can't do these things? What people gonna think? Am I taking right step? Is this gonna work? I always underestimate myself. Standing still and waiting for the opportunity.   " Waiting for the right time is the perfect excuse for wasting time." As we all are aware of the fact that Time is priceless. So waiting for the right time is stupidity. If we wait until we are ready, we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives. You may have heard this theory : Survival of the fittest. And to be fit in this world you have to make a move.  At the end of the day, we're either making excuses or we're making progress.  Small baby steps are easier to do and add up q...

Take it easy on people - Not everyone is meant to stay.

Image
If your heart hurts a little  after letting go of someone  or something, that's okay.                         It just means that your  feelings were genuine. No one likes endings. But sometimes we have to put things that were once good, to an end after they turn toxic to our well being. Not every new beginning is meant to last forever. And not every person who walks into your life is meant to stay. L ol One day you can be someone's best friend and next thing you know you are stranger. And sometimes we receive love from the most unexpected and unlikely places.  With that being said... nurture the people who are truly down for you throughout life. Appreciate moments. You don't get them back. Everyone can't go with you to the top of your mountain. Be smart! Don't drag people with you.  God connects us with people for a  Reason, Season o...

Let's celebrate something today

Image
" The more you celebrate your life, the more there is life to celebrate. " In a hush- hush of life we are not living the way we dream. We are living just for a sake of sustaining in this world. We are making big goals and pushing ourselves so hard that we are loosing peace and happiness. There is a famous quote : " Happiness lies in journey not in destination." We have right to be happy and only we have the power to enjoy life in whole. How we make ourselves happy?   Well I go through some motivational books and videos. And I come up with ways which I found easy and included them as my daily routine. So I want to share with you. Starting with first one. * CELEBRATE YOUR MORNING- No matter at what time you get up in the morning, Wish yourself a morning. Enjoy few minutes over a cup of coffee or tea, breathe fresh air. Give thanks for the day that is coming your way. When you begin your day with gratitude, your rest of the day will be more joyf...

A leaf, a branch or the roots. You are.........?

                                    A re you a leaf, a branch or the roots? There are 3 types of people in our lives. People are in our lives are the part of the trees. They are leaves, branches or the roots. Some people are like leaves of a tree.  When the wind blows with it. When the seasons change, they change. They're like a temporary friendships, a summer fling or connection like leaves. They are beautiful in the beginning but eventually they fall away. After reading this you may coming from few names in your mind that were leaves in your life. We can appreciate the lessons they brought, we can have gratitude for the moments. They helped us to grow at that time.             " Real friends can't make our problems disappear, but they'll definitely not disappear when we are going through our problems."          ...

Desire for a cup, not the coffee

Image
O nce there was a get-together of students and their professors. Everyone one were telling about their stressful life, workload, job. The professor who was listening to it went to kitchen and brought a large pot of coffee and varieties of cups like plain, glass, plastic and some expensive ones. Everyone told to help themselves to the coffee. After all students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the professor said: " If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up, only the plain and cheap are left behind. It is very normal that we all want only the best for ourselves, but it is also the source of problems and stress. Our Life is like a coffee and Luxuries are the cups.The type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live. " The cup itself adds no quality to the coffee." What we really want is coffee, not the cup, but we unconsciously running for the best cups. And also eyeing each other's . We all are...
