Appreciation Post

The world we live in is a jumble of all sorts of people and things. Some are good and some are bad and some are just as they are. Every day, we walk through our life criticising this and complaining about that, but how often do we praise and appreciate our blessings? You certainly won't like the answer to this one.

Wherever we go, whatever we do and whoever we meet, there is always something that is not right. For some weird reason, we have set the bar of our expectations so high that nothing is good enough. And then we say life sucks. It sucks because you sulk

Being happy and positive is not something that will get served to you on a platter, it is the aura you create for yourself. The moment you choose to ignore the things that aren't the way you wish them to be and start focusing on the small joys of life, your world will change. Instead of looking at what could've been, observe what Is. Life is too short to live with could've, would've or should've.

Just pause for a minute. Stop doing whatever you're doing and think about the 5 things that have made you feel good in the past 2 days. If you can come up with a list, Awesome! Repeat this process every once in a while. And if you're unable to do this, you need to take a hard look at the way you're perceiving the world around you. Because you may not have control over your environment, but you sure as hell are the one who decides how it affects you

Protection or Prison

  Under the guise of safety  We keep our doors closed Merely imagining the world beyond We accept to be forever entombed What we fail to recognize Is that we are our own prison Limiting our own powers We have given up our own freedom What started as protection Has now become a jail That which we are so afraid to break out of That which has become our excuse to fail   The reality is not what we believe Rather, we can actually take charge Change the direction our destiny takes And break free from the tower so large -Tamrina

Ten Years

There is an interesting thing we all like to do in our life and that is commemorate dates. Whether it is birthdays, anniversaries, he or she day we met someone for the first time but also, the day we lost someone dear to us. On the one end, the remembrance gives us joy and a chance to celebrate and on the other, they are an opportunity to think about that special person, often through teas and wonder, if things could have been different. As humans, it is our nature to assign meaning to things; whether it is the changing of seasons, that breaking of a glass or even, our own suffering. Why do we do that? It is to find some sense of order in this chaos of a world. Similarly, attaching that special meaning to some days gives us a break from the mundane. It allows us to take a breather from everyday routines and shuffle things up a little bit. I once read somewhere that grief is the love we feel for someone once they are gone and maybe this is why we remember them extra on particular da...

We Win Some, We Lose Some and We Snooze Some

A while back, a close friend had told me that my life would always be interesting because I have a passion and a dream to fulfil it, which translates to me always having something to fight for. This statement has stuck with me, especially in my low times because it is very true. When things get tough, I think about the destination I have set for myself and it gives me the strength to overcome the obstacles in my path. Something that I have come to realize very recently though is irrespective of the journey a person chooses to embark in life, there are many battles that each of us has to fight. And despite our best efforts, we win some, we lose some and we snooze some. Now the first two is pretty self-explanatory and the reality of life and circumstances but the third option is what I wish to share with you today. For some people, life is a constant uphill battle; it could be due to a social disadvantage, financial challenges, belonging to a marginalized group, intrapersonal struggles,...
