Hi There!

Hello guys! I am back after a rather long break. So, life has changed altogether since the last time I was here putting pen to paper (not literally), or fingers to the keyboard (literally). I completed my graduation, started working, got married, moved to Mumbai & have an amazing husband to walk hand in hand through this beautiful journey of life. Well, not only that. Finally, I have someone who I can force to proofread my blogs 😉 Life has been kind to me. I know I got lucky. Well, its still my day in the sun and there is a lot I look forward to along with keeping this blog alive to give my two cents, you know.

They say life is the greatest teacher of all. I agree. I find myself changed in the past 7 years. I have observed, experienced, laughed, cried. And honestly, I would not have it any other way. One needs to see the lows to appreciate the highs of life. So, what would I call my biggest lesson in these years?

Ask for what you want & be prepared to get it – Maya Angelou

The dialogue Geet says in Jab We Met “Jo Kuch Insan real me chahta hai, actual me usse vahi milta hai!” Well, I could not agree with her more. More so today than ever. Our life is a manifestation of our thoughts. You feel you want something, wish for it & put it out in the universe. It will be taken care of. Isn’t this what the law of attraction is?  

7 years ago, I had a vague picture of what my future would look like. I dreamt, I wished, I prayed. God made sure it all happened. Of course, there were some things I wish could have happened differently. But then what is life if you don’t taste a few disappointments? And the silver lining is that in the end it all fits. You understand the reason certain things didn’t work out, why you didn’t get that dream job, why that person you counted on the most let you down, why you lost all your money in the stock market. These are all lessons that are preparing you for the journey. Trust me, I have learnt it the hard way, it’s all for the better.

So, with faith in your heart and a smile on your face, put on those glitter shoes as you take on this journey of life. It isn’t easy, it’s not meant to be but trust me it’s worth it.  

 

 

 

Being Happy :)

                                        What is happiness ? Well this question will yield different answers to different individuals like people may find happiness in  money , love , success and blah blah blah.  Disagree ! Money, success , love are material possessions and happiness can never be equated with material things , for it is an emotion and not a possession.

                                        To be happy, one has to clear ones mind of prejudices and assumptions and inculcate following things in one`s soul.

* Acceptance -  Accept yourself for who you are.  Stop analysing yourself.  If you expect people to love you , first you need to love yourself. The problem that lies here is many of  us feel that we are incompetent or good-for-nothing. Well,god has created you and this itself is proof enough that he has some plan for you on earth. Remember,  only you are going to play the hero of your movie called life. In the end, its going to be about your life. So, stop being too critical of yourself and shed that barrier of inferiority.

* No Anticipation - People are going to be mean and self-centered. Nobody in this world is born to please you. They are going to live for themselves. So, stop expecting too much. Love people and care for them but only if you can do so without expecting anything from them in return. ' Give, don't expect and forget ' is all you can do.

*Peace with Past - Make peace with your past so that it doesn't mess up with your present. You need to be have a tranquility in your mind when you think of your past. Forgive everyone for everything.  You got to have a bigger heart and let go things. Its okay, sometimes , to not know every truth.

*Stop comparing - Stop trying to fit in the shoes of others . Never feel that you are the only one with bad share of destiny. You have no idea what people must have gone through, in their journey of life, to be at a position they are.  Not everyone showcases it.  Simply try and live your role perfectly. If you ever find yourself envy of others, compare yourself to the people lesser fortunate than you. You will surely make out that you have got tonnes of things to be happy about.

*Be content - Contentment is the greatest happiness, as they say. Be happy and grateful for what you have. Every individual has one thing in this world that he is best at. Try to figure it out. You have certainly got a lot to be thankful about. Being content doesn't mean that you have no desires left. It just means that you are gonna give up on cribbing and are gonna be grateful for what you have been gifted with.Grudges pull you down. 'Stop frowning, start smiling '.

                                       Happiness, for me , is within oneself. You cannot seek it , you cannot run after it. It is to be discovered. Your home is your refuge. Surround yourself with whatever makes you happy. Be it music, flowers, books or anything.

                                     Friends, this was all about my perception to being happy. Life is too short to live it with your brains. Listen to your heart.  Trust me, you are just a smile away from 'Being Happy' ;)
