It’s a part of life, a part of all our transcendental journeys on earth. Sometimes it’s countries waging wars, sometimes it’s our loved ones we are at loggerheads with and more often than not it’s within us. Look back at your life and you would find that mostly it’s been your inner peace which has been missing. Something we guarded and cherished as kids but have forgotten to prioritise while adulting. Like a kid always defends her choices and does what her heart tells her to do, if we start listening to our inner voice, we would be far less disappointed in ourselves. And once you have poured enough into your own cup, pouring into others becomes a way of life.

Is everything gold?
Do you think you are or should be perfect? Personally or professionally you have got it all sorted? Really?
Embrace the change Firstly do you have to? Nay, we don’t need to be picture perfect, after all we are humans and to err is human. So give yourself some breather to err and lower those cortisol levels!
Secondly if you whine that things around you are changing fast and that bothers you, think about it again. Would life be exciting if there were no change, no day or night, no seasons and no weekends? Nay, the moment you feel you got it all sorted, the equations mutate and thus you are entering the next round of the game of life! And trust me everything cannot be gold; if it seems then it’s an illusion my friend 😊

Power of Visualization
Ever tried visualizing yourself in the future? How would you look, feel and what would you do x years down the line? What would you be chasing then and what your family members would be doing?
Stepping into one’s own shoes I started thinking about how it would be the next 2-3 years, seemed too close to execution – the feeling where you start feeling underprepared for an upcoming examination. So I thought how 5 years from now would look and still got lost in the details. The goldilocks number for me was 10. A decade was perfectly ‘far yet imaginable’ for me.
Manifestation is a powerful tool. We can get thrilled thinking of what the future holds and we may get sad knowing what we may lose in the way. Either ways, try it and I bet you won’t see your present self the same way again.

To die or to live?!
We know how much we love our kids as parents, right to the moon and back. We say we would die for them!
What if I asked you to be braver and live for them? Be a stronger you by exercising everyday for them? Be a calmer you by meditating for them? Stay cleaner from food and drugs for them?
Strong foundations for future Now that’s the courage if you love your kids and wish to be there for them in their growing years. Alive, kicking and being able to keep pace with the generation’s choices. Leave a legacy not a liability!

To ‘younger’ me
A decade wiser, older, more experienced and all of that. Yet there isn’t much that I can pass onto you in the matters of love and life.
All I can say is that you can learn from my experiences, my mistakes. My lessons learned could be your guardrails when in doubt. Not that I have a handbook but after all ‘what not to do’ is better than being in the dark and hurting in the toe.
Do listen to your gut feeling. Do weigh in your happiness but without burning bridges. Do let love score higher than ego. Do give second chances. Do stay kind, especially to yourself.
Do not try to keep everyone happy. Do not fall into the trap of societal clocks. Do not blindly go by the orthodox barometer of success. Do not be outrageous but keep courage in your heart and logic in your mind.
May you laugh, love, live and light up the lives of all those you touch upon. Amen 🙏

Great expectations
We meet, we talk, we expect. We get emotionally attached, we wait for replies, answers and conversations to happen.
And finally if the other person doesn’t respond, we make our own assumptions. Good, bad, ugly.
Merry or Morbid But life goes on, so stay unhooked. Keep a smile and you can jolly walk your way through this journey of life. Stay light in your heart and keep fluttering everyday. 💕

Legacy of strength
Strength to stay true to your words.
Strength to stick around your main characters.
Strength to stand by, through thick and thin.
Strength to get up from a fall.
Strength to abide by your decisions.
Strength to keep the vows you took, silently.
Strength to love without attachment and give without expectations.
Strength to face the past, dream the future and live the present.
May the strength be with you 🖖

Parenting from a distance
Raising kids the way we were raised? Or raising kids for the future of tomorrow? A quirky conundrum every set of parent faces.
Raising them or rising ourselves How about choosing a middle ground – being the eyes, ears for your kid but letting them think and speak for themselves. Let them be on their own, judge for themselves and even commit their own mistakes. As long as they don’t hurt themselves badly, I think we all owe ourselves the lessons we (l)earn!

Solitude
I was raised to know solitude as a bad thing. The thing which makes you unhappy, makes others look down upon you and gets you stereotyped as an outcast.
Stars don’t need company As a grown adult with a full time job and a kid to raise, I now realize solitude is golden. It is the calming factor which helps me stay grounded in reality. It is good as I can hear my own voice and go through my own thoughts to bring clarity and peace in my life.

Love of your life
That should be you. Yes, essentially you should be the main character of your life’s story. But every story needs a good partner too, right.
To do or not to do So how do you find them : the perfect partner. Research, checklist, trial & error or just fate? Or a combination of a few of these. Let’s first settle what’s perfect for me and you won’t be the same – that’s called ideal. And ideal is rare, mirage, cliche. So let’s settle for defining your perfect : someone who you like spending time with, sets your heart racing, has been a good influence and gets you better than most others. That’s a keeper, keep if you can and you have found gold!
& Once you think no one’s fitting this bill, go for the next best rationale option: someone who can be a good career coach, a motivator for your goals and a complement to your personality traits.
Pros and cons lie in both the ways. Head over heart, choice or chance. It’s all in the stars, so leave it to destiny to find them for you. Just choose and stick it out.
