When you see someone who keeps their emotions to themselves, and you see them struggling in life, don’t point that out to them.
Rather, be there for them even when they don’t ask it.
This one thing would make them feel seen. And that is all they need.
A colleague mentioned this term in a group, when he spoke about being away from his girlfriend.
Such word even exists?
Do people actually miss each other on being separate?
Isn’t love supposed to liberate you instead of give you anxiety?
Anyway, the only emotion I have, is gratitude – for going past such petty things.
That’s what I bless for my colleague as well. And everyone.
A call dropping off is a sign from the Universe that you don’t need to call back 🙂
A friend not talking is a sign of the Universe that you are not friends anyway.
A tight tee is a sign from the Universe that you need to lose more than the weight.
Signs are simply intuitions coming to life.
Over time what made you cry, you begin to start looking forward to it.
Over time, what was difficult, you begin to find ease in it.
Over time, what you used to expect, you begin to find acceptance in lack of expectations met.
Over time, the money you used to dream of, you begin to be happy despite more of that money.
Over time, what used to make you happy, you begin to find happiness without it.
Over time, what used to make you angry, now makes you the most peaceful person.
Over time, as time changes, for good and only good, it changes us as well!
Writing good content is understanding psychology.
Winning at a game is understanding psychology.
Eating less is understanding your own psychology.
Life is psychology, but we don’t admit it because we don’t understand psychology. Pure psychology 🙂
1. Taking no breaks
2. Taking others’ PoVs seriously
3. Not taking time to reflect
This one is from a visual in Rishikesh – from Atali Ganga, the place where we’d stayed at.
That solitude from the hotel overlooking the Ganga river with a mountain stays with me till date.
Enjoyed as a side fun – to let yourself go and see what emerges 🙂
This blog is something I do not popularise much about.
I write here religiously.
From the heart.
Without worrying about the algorithm.
And even what so called friends would say.
Here I come to write my heart.
What I am feeling today.
Maybe it is transient.
Like everything else is.
But, it writing what I am feeling in the moment, helps me heal.
Isn’t it the reason why we all are here?
To heal.
We may not accept it, but in order for a huge part of our life to glow, we have to go through the messy process of vacuum cleaning so that everything that emerges is flawless.
Anyway, if at all you must do something ever, it is to write your blog.
Not to grow your following.
Not to show any vanity.
Rather, to pour your heart out.
To write content that you wish no one read, other than you.
And you will come at a place, where you won’t regret it.
Trust me!
The reason for getting sad is never the real reason.
The loss.
The no.
The rejection.
The lack.
The “never”.
These are not the real reasons. They are just drapes to cover up the original reasons.
The real reason is we are crying for something deeper.
We believe we don’t matter.
We think that our work doesn’t make an impact.
Or our presence doesn’t make anyone happy.
Or that everything will be happy even if we left.
Or perhaps that there will never be a tomorrow.
That is the real thing that makes us sad.
Think through it about what made you sad recently.
The reason was one of these.
However, the truth of life is this:
YOU matter.
YOU are important.
YOUR work makes a difference.
YOUR absence would make things difficult.
YOU are needed.
This holds true irrespective of what ANYONE tells you.
Pause for a moment to read this.
Law of attraction says that if you are looking for a partner, keep the seat next to you empty.
Thus, I purposefully do NOT keep the seat next to me empty 🙂
1. Do more than you are expected to.
2. Speak less than you are expected to.
3. Work out each time you are expected to.
7 life lessons no one teaches you about succeeding at work:
We all have variety of friends.
However, everyone has these common characteristics:
First day of offsite.
Life lessons learnt:
Also, did I mention – how to find solace in your own company 🙂
1. What if you didn’t check social media for the next 5 hours?
2. What if you read for the next 10 minutes?
3. How many people would be happier if you were just happier and more human?
Very recently, my landlord Uncle and Aunty reduced the rent of my rented apartment.
After thanking them, I jokingly added: “I was, btw, expecting the rent to rise this year!”
“Beta actually we have let out other floors as well, and we’re charging them this lower rate only. So no point charging you a higher amount!”
I found it so cool. This new place is actually so cool bro!
Not just for the rent reduction.
Rather also because they played it honest, even though no one was seeing them.
If you really want to understand someone, see what they do when no one is watching.
PS: Other cool things they do:
1. Having a separate invertor for us tenants, whose electricity bill is attached to theirs
2. NO charges for water
3. Hiring a maid for me
4. Adding an additional (jaali waala) gate so that I can shut it and sleep in natural air.
5. Asking if I need some repairs – any time an electrician or a plumber comes.
Love love, to them! :))
I was listening to a spiritual song this morning, and its words stuck with me.
Here’s replicating it. Enjoy!
Chalte chalte, mujhe koi mil gaya hai, mujhe koi mil gaya hai
Mere saath chalte chalte
Wahi geeta bas gayi hai
Mera bhagya bante bante
Nayi duniya ban rahi hai
Shreemat par chalte chalte
Shreemat par chalte chalte
Chali gayi hai saari chinta, chintaaein chupke chupke
Ye jyoti jal gayi hai, ye jyoti jal rahi hai
Sab intezaam taiyaar, sukh dhaam nahi door
Experience this song here, and you will never be alone ever again.
Our biggest problem is believing someone else is responsible for our problems.
If we realise this is our biggest problem, all of a sudden, we gain power over our problems.
Isn’t that magical?
The best meditators tell you that you do not need commentary to meditate.
I agree.
Except, when I don’t.
It is quite understandable that when your brain is performing at its best, it does not need commentary.
However, if it is surrounded by loads of noise (real and virtual) from outside, it is never wrong to pick up commentary.
As you gain mastery, the need for commentary reduces.
The goal of meditation is to calm your self, not to repeat the uncalm version during the time you had set apart for meditation.
