Stardom – In Other Words

iScriblr_wave

It's time for her to say her goodbyes, "wave", embrace 
and make that sacrifice.

To pursue her dreams this step she must take, 
her future if she is to make.

A small town girl with aspirations so giant, 
she was a rebel, she was defiant.

In her heart she believed that one day she would blossom.

"America's Got Talent" was her one-way ticket to stardom.

7 Ways To Seize The Day

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are having a great day. It’s time to kill the blues with some Real Talk and SELF CARE!

SEIZING THE DAY – a concept heard too often, but unfortunately a little difficult to attain for us mortals! With a life so busy and the responsibilities so great, who has the time to “enclose” the goodness around, right?

Well, it’s no lie that almost all of us have fantasized about a “perfect” day – a day when we have lived satisfactorily, achieved targets and yet, have found time to live, love and laugh. A day, when we’ve made every second count for something meaningful, something positive. A day, when we have given in our all to be our possible best. A day when we have “lived in the moment!”
Yet,  we brazenly “crush” our dreams of experiencing a fulfilled life and “neglect” the desire to be at peace with our heart! *ugly truth*

“Your life isn’t behind you; your memories are behind you. Your life is ALWAYS ahead of you. Today is a new day – seize it!”

Vacation Of A Lifetime – In Other Words

iScriblr_vacation

The only way to keep her alive was to abandon her at an orphanage gate; 
she was a girl, born in a masculist clan, where her gender decided her fate.

Dumped and shunned from the day she was born, 
she instantly learnt that it's not easy being a woman in this man's world; 
she vouched that no bigotry, no dogmatism, can leave her crippled, 
that she would one day rise up, turn tables and change labels.

Years and years of trails and tribulations have transformed her 
into a woman of substance, so wise.

She's fought her battles, slayed her cynics, she has prosperously survived.

Gifting herself a perfect "vacation" on her 25th birthday, 
that she so rightly deserves - this is a story of a champion, 
who in the face of flouters refused to give up!

Power Of Speech

iScriblr_powerOfSpeech

Hey Everyone! How you doin’? Well, I am back! *happy happy dance*

Don’t know if you’d noticed but I was gone from the blogosphere for almost 6 days and it felt like an eternity! *sob sob*
Bad allergies, high temperature, body aches and troubled respiration – Ah, poor me and my feeble immunity. Post a high dose of antihistamines, corticosteroids, decongestants and a “cheerless” weekend, that just passed by miserably – I am slowly making my way to recovery, hoping to get better soon! *fingers crossed* And, here’s me getting back to do what I love the most – killing the blues with some Real Talk and INSPIRATION!

Mirror – In Other Words

iScriblr_mirror

She looks into the mirror and says to herself "How can people see me like this?", 
broken, dispirited, 
all that she notices is ugly-unattractiveness and grisly-disfigurement. 
 
The rough lines, blistered edges, scarred creases, uneven contours, 
they all remind her of the past glory days 
when she was credited to be the "prettiest of them all!"

With sunrise-gold hair, saccharine sweet lips, 
velvety eyelashes and constellation-blue eyes, 
Rose was once an apotheosis of artless beauty, 
with many suitors and admirers yearning for her love and company.

Reminiscing the days gone by, unhinging the horrors of suffering 
and the agony of 20 reconstructive surgeries, 
she picks up her handbag and kisses her mom goodbye, 
as she steps out of the house for the first time in 5 years!

By the dresser rests the latest newspaper with a headline that reads
"25 Year Old Acid-Attack Victim Decides To Follow Her Dreams, Returns To School!"

3 Days, 3 Quotes Tag (Florence Nightingale)

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are having a great day!

I have been named yet again for the 3 Days, 3 Quotes Tag! Yay! *happy dance* Thank you so much Kranti from SparklingThoughts for tagging me. It’s indeed a pleasure!

FYI – Well this time too this tag comes with a twist folks – I am posting all the three quotes in one post for the three days. Sorry about being such a rebel, I am “shamelessly” STILL way behind on my tags! *I need some time management classes*
On a brighter side today’s quotes come from none other than the “ministering angel” Florence Nightingale – a trailblazing figure in nursing!

Whether you’re feeling stuck in your life or just finding you’re stalling instead of killing that to-do list, muster up the courage and motivation to get going. Taking action might seem daunting when you’re at a point to take a big decision. While a bit of planning, preparation and legwork is important, the fact of the matter is that taking the right kind of action will have a great compounding effect to take you through the big decision. Be BRAVE, take that chance! It is tempting to stay where it is familiar, but no one ever got anywhere by staying at one place!
