Speak less.
And when you do, let your two words make the mark of a lifetime.
Work more on yourself.
It would make the work of working on others easier.
Sleep early.
The next day would be brighter.
Have a great week.
Your life matters.
Get in emotional action. Own your life, and inspire others to do the same.

Sometimes we will never know why.
Sometimes we will never know why.
That is the explanation I have for you.
What I do know is: When things don’t happen as we wanted them to, always something great comes out of them. Always.
Have faith in yourself.
If you won’t, who will?
Some life lessons that helped me today, might do that to you as well:
When I had initially come home during lockdown, I had thought I would finally be happy when I will go back to Delhi.
I had thought I will be happy when I get my freedom, but it isn’t denied to me here either.
I had thought I would have good places to shop, but life is anyway being lived in the same pyjama since eternity:)
I had thought my parents wanted to stop me here forever, but they don’t, which makes me live here happily.
Don’t know when going to Delhi will be possible like before, but I am now starting to be happy with my dysfunctional family. Especially since opportunities to work and make money are infinite with zero compromise on my daily power naps and evening walks and morning workouts and what not!!!
We wait for an idea of the future hoping for things to get better, not realising it is getting created here and now – with what we think and what we do.
When we love someone, we don’t want to cry for them.
Because had they been around, they wouldn’t have liked seeing us cry.
Go live your life in the happiest version possible, in a manner had they been around.
Not because you are rejoicing that they went, rather because we want to let them know that in order to keep them happy, we will stay happy.
Our happiness is a token to tell them back, that we love them
I want to say something to you:
Always be nice.
Even with the ones who are playing and plotting against you.
Because everyone is an irreplaceable parent or son or daughter of someone.
Everyone is fighting a battle we don’t know of.
And, we don’t know which one will be our last one.
Today there’s nothing much to say.
Lost a close Uncle. Had met him two days after Diwali, last month. Little did anyone of us know that this was the last one.
While we were cordial and cool in our last meeting, I do realise that we don’t know which one is going to be our last meeting.
Lesson: Treat every meeting with people like the last one. We never know.
These life lessons are deep, and never shared.
Here you go:

Negative things about getting a positive life
1. Honesty is an expensive gift. Don’t expect it from cheap people.
– Warren Buffet
2. When people show you who they are, believe them.
– Maya Angelou
3. The best way to deal with corporate politics is to live by and speak your truth. It will make you undefeatable.
4. People will play games against you. Worry not, for they not know against whom are they playing the real game.
5. Don’t trust your extremely good or bad moods. What happens in the middle – your intuitions, people’s behaviours, what you want to do – that is the real stuff.
Some small reflections about life, that were sadly not as positive, however, very important to inch towards positivity and not being affected by the negativity of others.
A friend asked me about a book recommendation on mental health.
I was soooo soooo happy!
Gave her my favourite one, along with a few that could rank after it.
But you know what, the feeling was epic.
Which brings me to…ahem ahem!
I will start writing book summaries soon. Even the thought is good enough to keep me up at night. However, when you sleep well, you create well.
So, see you all soon with consistent book reviews. Whoa, I could die in a library 🙂
PS: When my friend asked for book reccos, I didn’t tell her the names or Amazon links, I clicked pictures of the books I love and sent those. Totally loved it!!!
