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 the same mindset. No one would have had a completely effortless and a smooth journey. Every one falls down while walking, while running, while flying but their only resolution to stand up and dust their shoulders off is what makes the difference.
Without continual growth and progress such words as improvement, achievement and success has no meaning. Consistence is what makes every journey easier and prosperous. Its often said that life is journey where we tend to find many destinations which may be the levels of this game. To level up the game, we need to escalate the effort. Of course this journey will never be as easy as taking a walk in a park. You may feel like giving up but at that moment of time only remember why you started. Quality of your journey will determine the degree of your success. The beginning takes the most effort to start but the journey takes the most resistant attempts to finish. 
Its generally during the last lap when the sprinter thinks about quitting. But your struggle and your effort will propel you towards the finish line. Live in each moment of your journey, it adds value to your success. Every step taken forward will never be a waste no matter how small the step is. Even to get through the toughest journey we only need to take one step at a time, but only we must keep stepping. Don't ever rush with the process because time goes on, on its own pace and always remember...

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...

Happiness is an inside job...!!

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...

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...
