Happiness is an inside job...!!

-
Image
Often in life, we pursue everything with a single, overarching motive: to be happy. We choose careers that feel good on the inside, believing they align with our true selves. Yet, if we ever choose a path for other reasons, like money, we eventually find ourselves frustrated—not with the life we’ve created, but with the life we couldn’t. We marry someone, hoping they will lead us to a happiness we’ve struggled to find on our own. We move across the globe, change cities, all in search of a feeling of wholeness, a state of peace where even a simple movie night brings joy. We yearn to create moments of happiness, with dreams of sharing them with our parents, our children, and maybe even our grandchildren one day. But life goes on, and we keep searching for something so vital, looking in places we’ve always expected to find it. When disappointment comes, we shift our focus, searching in unfamiliar places, thinking that maybe, just maybe, strangers and strange lands won’t disappoint us as m

We are meant to cross paths for a reason.

8.2 billion people exist in this world at this very moment, each with a different journey. Yet, every individual would agree that the thing we call "Life" is undeniably erratic in nature. The same upbringing, different personalities. The same circumstances, yet different decisions. The same decisions, yet different outcomes. Similar paths chosen, but distinct expeditions and diverse adventures. All of this still makes me wonder how billions of people coexist in harmony, even though any leading world news channel would exaggerate and oppose this view. I still stand strong, asking why we smile back at a stranger who was looking forward to that smile with warm eyes. Why do we help an old man pick up the lemons and oranges that fell from his grocery bag? Why don't we first judge them as well by their race or religion? The reason is that the ground reality is miles apart from what is projected by political leaders worldwide. But then I ponder the thought: why do we cross paths

A Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step

-

The Chinese proverb is an expression that tells us that great things commence with simple beginnings. Ever found yourself nervous while starting something new. That is the feeling which may have stopped you from taking the first step. But the truth lies in the fact that nothing would ever end if we don't start. There by no means the destination would ever become the beginning. The start is what takes the most effort. Just a firm decision to begin would end up taking us places around the world. After all who knows what life has planned for us.  We all go through the same process. The push needed for the start is same, but then the journey is what differs and that is what makes a difference in the results. The struggle is different, the hustle is discrete. But yet again there is no law of nature that would interdict us from doing the best like anyone else. The universe has everything in abundance. It may allow everyone to be equally happy and successful but not everyone of us has

Believe in yourself because doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

The best thing that you can do for yourself is believe in yourself and the worst is surely self doubt. Ability to believe in yourself has the power to change your life. Just give it a thought, what difference would it make if you have an unshakable faith in yourself. How easy will it be to achieve anything if you believed in yourself with such deep conviction and with no fear of failure. Success is a journey and failure is just a milestone but doubt is the real enemy of your dreams. Before proving it to anyone else, prove it to yourself that you are capable and good enough to achieve anything that you dream about. Take into consideration the difficulties which you may encounter in the journey but don't let it give birth to doubt which makes your focus blurred. Doubt won't lead you to anything worthy but you will only end up regretting about the chances that you missed, about the opportunities that you didn't make the best of. Be courageous to take the risks in life. An

Fly high but stay grounded..!!!

A dream to fly high is what makes us excited inside. By this I mean a keen desire to achieve something really great in life. Being successful at any step of life helps us to fly higher than before. It brings us closer to the world of stars where everyone wants to reach by being successful. Success at any point does changes us a bit. Sometimes positively and sometimes the other way round. This other way round takes success to our head at times. We start feeling superior. This is where the downfall begins. Anything that gets to our head can only lead us to destruction. Always keep in mind from where did we start. The days of struggle become a precious part of the journey of success but we usually forget to take this set along to the journey further. Remembering who was at our side when no one else was is the most important thing in my perspective. Keep in mind that we do owe a lot to a lot of people who contributed to our success which we believe is completely ours today. Success is

Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.

Every one among us has deep inside some passions buried. May be they didn't ever get a chance to top our priority list or maybe we didn't had courage to fight all odds to follow those passions. It could be anything, a dream to be a photographer, to have a own you tube channel, to pursue fashion or interior designing as profession, to be a writer before being an engineer or maybe anything else. Such passions just become chapters in our life which we don't want to read out loud because we still don't have justification why we gave up on our dreams. The reason lies in the mindset of the society to which we belong as well. Being able to look at things till extreme depth but still we don't realize that anything done excellently can earn us a living. If a person who didn't wanted to be professor is doing his or her job well, an engineer who didn't understand coding at first is finally able to deal with it, a doctor who had a phobia of blood is finally a surgeon,

Lets prefer peace over everything....!!!

A question arises in my mind at times why are we doing everything. Why are we studying, why are we earning ? Till my intellect goes it is just to achieve something. Now this "something" may vary from person to person. Some want money, some crave respect and some wish for happiness. Its all about what tops our priority list. I agree on this fact that everyone has a different mindset, different perspectives as well. But what is that "something" which can give you an immensely satisfied sleep at night. According to my little knowledge after living in this materialistic world, it is only inner peace. Now by peace, I don't really mean silence. As per a saying peace does not mean to be in a place of no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of all these things and still be calm in your heart. This seems to be simple and really easy to achieve but the history speaks about people who have conquered the world but still didn't find peace.
