MLK 50

April 4, 2018 13 Comments

Hey Everyone!

This April 4th commemorates the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. one of the most poignant advocates for human equality and civil reform in U.S. History! .
What’s more appropriate than remembering him “for his role in the advancement of civil rights by using the tactics of non-violence and civil disobedience based on his Christian beliefs and inspired by the non-violent activism of Mahatma Gandhi,” through few of his thoughts and quotes that inspired the world!

REAL TALK

No More Excuses!

“I don’t really have the time.”

“It is too scary to take the risk!”

“What will people say?”

“I don’t know how to?”

“It could have worked but I had no money”

Ah! Excuses! Well yes, these are the most familiar of excuses that we all are guilty of! Instead of pushing ourselves to achieve our goals, we take the easy route of “making excuses!” Yes!!!!!! an easy, effortless way out! Excuses, people – can be a very dangerous thing, pretty intense – as it holds us back and leaves us stuck in a vicious cycle of deferment and delay.

Have you ever tied to explain why you didn’t, couldn’t, shouldn’t or just wouldn’t do something? In all honesty, I have! (and a lot many times than once!) Fear of failure, worrying about added responsibilities, perceived lack of self belief and confidence, fear of change – the reasons are abundant and varied, paralyzing us and leaving us stranded in a “no man’s land!” Believe me when I say that all of this negative self talk gets us nowhere. Broken dreams, crippled self-esteem, fragmented hope – the damage is more than you can account for!

We See A Better Us

March 24, 2018 18 Comments

Hey Everyone! Happy Weekend! It’s REAL TALK time!

When life gives you a million reasons to give up.. Identify that one single ray of hope, worth fighting for!

do not give up

We must be willing to get rid of the life that we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for Us! Just like the old skin has to be shed before the new one can come, we have to evolve and break out of our inhibitions and apprehensions. It’s implicit that we would not like the change at first – hesitation, uncertainty, reservation – just a few emotions to begin with! But sooner or later, when the comprehension happens and when we take that last look in the mirror, We see a “BETTER US!”

Knowing that things were meant to happen, knowing that each day we learn something new, knowing that everything in your future is NOT determined by your past – abets us to breathe a little lighter and attempt the NEW!

“Infuse your life with action. Don’t wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen.. yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.”
– Bradley Whitford

Let bygones be bygones, live in present, LIVE NOW!

Show Your True Colors

March 19, 2018 24 Comments

How often do we find ourselves doing things just because we have to and not because we want to? And yes, I am not talking about the hard work aimed to achieve success at jobs or the efforts to provide for your family. I’m referring to the things we do just to please others and to project a certain image of ourselves to the world that isn’t even coherent with who we really are! How often have we worn a “mask” awaiting approval of our family, friends, colleagues or even the auntie next door? And unquestionably, it is hard to live your best lives, when “best” is defined by someone else!

“There just isn’t any pleasing some people. The trick is to stop trying.”

Desperate Housewife (Not!)

March 9, 2018 18 Comments

“It’s sad if people think that’s (homemaking) a dull existence, [but] you can’t just buy an apartment and furnish it and walk away. It’s the flowers you choose, the music you play, the smile you have waiting. I want it to be gay and cheerful, a haven in this troubled world. I don’t want my husband and children to come home and find a rattled woman. Our era is already rattled enough, isn’t it?”
― Audrey Hepburn

Confidence Boost

January 18, 2018 6 Comments

Self-confidence means being in-sync with your capabilities, powers and self-worth regardless of the situation that you are in. It means that you acknowledge your strengths and believe in yourself to achieve your purpose and go for the challenges that the life throws at you, gallantly. It is the “mantra” of certainty and self-belief that makes you stand out of the crowd – self-assured, self-aware and upbeat. Undoubtedly, self-confidence is your “golden-ticket” to the worldly benefits and spiritual boons!

“Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit”
― E.E. Cummings

FACTS

People with low self-confidence tend to repel people around them. Their limiting mindsets and behavior makes them unbearable and a “drag” to be around. As per studies – Low self-esteem is a thinking disorder in which an individual views him/herself as inadequate, unlovable, and/or incompetent. Once formed, this negative view permeates every thought, producing faulty assumptions and ongoing self-defeating behavior. It’s a vicious cycle of negativity, low self-esteem and failure that goes on for ever and ever!

GOOD NEWS

The good news is that self-confidence is something you can improve! If you’re feeling less-than-celestial, these simple, actionable tips are for you (for that much-needed confidence boost) –
