Get in emotional action. Own your life, and inspire others to do the same.
Mark Manson asked a question on Twitter today: List three things you wish you understood 10 years ago.
Here’s my response:
1. To say no in a potential relationship, where you know it ain’t going to work, is power.
2. Invest in equity.
3. Build a community.
PS: I was already working out, meditating, reading books and eating right at that point. So missed out these basics 🙂
The body – how it responds to chemical reactions is very very weird.
A few days back I mentioned how I bingewatched Dill Mill Gayye on a weekend.
The TV show, in many ways, was an inspiration for the people of my generation.
The cute people, the pure love, the sparks flying at workplace – everything.
Until I spent some time alone for so many years, getting to know the reality.
This morning I was reminded of one instance from the show – where the male protagonist goes on with a friend and feigns as her husband in front of her family, so that her family members stop pressing her for marriage. He does all this without informing the female protagonist, with whom he is deeply in love with.
Today, just by remembering that instance, I was sent into a state of feeling like crying, as to how this could happen.
Of course, a lot of this relates to the past mistakes I made.
Which brings me to the question – do we really forgive people or does our body remember everything?
If the body remembers it, it is up to the mind to practice focussed forgiveness – for a long, long period of time. Even when it is not asked for. Not for the other person. So that we go beyond our limitations that didn’t even exist.
Don’t we owe this to ourselves?
To be a boss lady, you do not have to become the boss of the team. You just have to be the boss of your life.
Lemme show that to you with an example:
If you observe closely, in Pic 1 I am having a fake smile versus I’m just being a natural in Pic 2.
Why so? Because that day I was going to do something that I should have said no to. So I was not in my best frame of mind. It is from 2018.
In pic 2, from March 2021, I’m just myself all the time. Being happy, saying no to things that don’t matter, and more than anything else, being the boss of my life.
So, if you want to be the Boss Lady, just live your life on your own terms. And not to impress anyone.
If you have time for Instagram and no time for some important tasks of your life, something needs to change in the list of your priorities.
Yes, it is the most positive word of 2020 and 2021, given the situations we are in.
However, what happens if a report is positive?
Do we dread death? Or are we scared if our family would be affected? Or do our deepest fears pop up?
The big wrong is not with the Covid. The big thing we have to deal with is not having to be alone. And that’s scary.
The ones who have this question are the ones who do not control one thing that they can – habits!
If you are learning relentlessly, if you are meditating daily, if you are doing the hard work of letting go, you can never get to have this question.
Read the last line again.
The other day I was counting the number of cities I’ve visited, and the number came out to be an impressive one, largely due to my former two jobs being in audit. Here’s a list (in almost chronological order), just for your fun and for my records 😀
That’s it folks, so far! Not bad 🙂
Will keep editing the list and also add the dates of the edits. This one is being written on 19th Feb 2021, let’s see where the destiny drives us further. No matter where we go, let’s stay within!
