  • Slaying on ur own terms

    Conventional definitions of success? Orthodox measures of a good life? Relearn. Reset. Rewire.

    Not everything we have learnt is relevant in this ever changing world. As institutions evolve and idealogies advance; people rise up the societal pyramid, discovering newer definitions of making a living. Embrace change or perish holds true so those who adapt truly find bliss and peace – beyond conventional happiness.

    Be the lead. Not the best friend. Make no room for self pity. Make way for thinking out of the box, being unbound by conventional wisdom and abide by your own standards of freedom.

  • Extra baggage

    “Extra baggage welcome, at a cost” says the Airport signpost. & I wonder doesn’t that apply elsewhere too. If you carry extra, you gotta pay elsewhere.

    Carry your past and you pay with guilt. Carry shame and you pay with remorse. Carry a yardstick for success and pay by yearning to live by its standard. Carry what others think of you and you can never be your true self.

    Life’s a mixed bouquet

    Chasing happiness as per other people’s expectations or by peer pressure is like a dog trying to catch his tail. A futile effort leading to little  more than momentary satisfaction.

    Being yourself, holding your stead and being comfortable in your own skin, thoughts and pace of life is a tough, sometimes lonely but fulfilling journey.

  • Hustle culture

    Is it always necessary to be busy? To keep moving, to struggle and to win? It does give us a momentous joy when victory is ours, but then wasn’t the journey also worth enjoying? After all that is where life happens. While it’s important to have an eye on the prize, did we get lost in the daily chase to cherish little joys of life?

    Enjoy the swim

    So say nay to the hustle culture. Hustle but at your own pace, with your own goals and in your own zone. More important is the zeal to live, the motivation to show up and the attitude to take things in stride. Winning or not, you are a champion anyways. So enjoy while you compete and complete the races of life with a smile drawn on your face. 💕
