Unapologetically honest

If you see a group picture of you and your friend. What is the first thing you notice ? Is it How you look? Is your hair alright? Is your smile just the way it should be? if your answer is yes then  it’s not just you. Everybody looks at themselves only. The most frequently used word is the pronoun I.
People are more interested in themselves than they are in any body else. So if you want to make friends and  win hearts ,you have to be  interested in other’s life.
This is an important law- ‘Always make the other person feel important’.

The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature.

The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.

Almost everyone considers themselves very important and life of so  many people could probably change if only someone would make them feel important.
Once, I saw a girl who was getting irritated because of the rush in metro and because of  huge bags she was carrying. And I thought of giving her a compliment on her beautiful smile. I just told her ‘you have a nice smile’ . A simple compliment from a stranger would have made her day better I guess. In the start she tried to be modest and said it’s not that nice but I knew how happy she was after listening to that.
She must have thought about that the whole day and felt important , appreciated and validated. Her bags would have turned a little lighter now.
That’s how you can change a person’s day: by just making them feel special.

Have you ever thought why dogs have so many friends and why are they loved by so many. The reason is that they are more interested in other’s life. They jump out of their skin and run so fast when they see their owner after a long day. They do everything they possibly can do and expect nothing in return but love.
similarly ,You can make more friends in 2 months by becoming interested in other people than you can in 2 years by trying to get other  people interested in you.
You can work magic with philosophy of appreciation almost every day!

Are you also a big nature enthusiast who feels so captivated by the beauty of sky because

I know I’m not the only one who gets excited when the clouds form beautiful shapes and I know I’m not the one who gets thrilled when sky is in pretty colors.I know I’m not the only who gets lost when flowers decide to blossom a little more than usual and I know I’m not the only one who confronts nature whenever things don’t go well. I know I’m not the only one who would choose stargazing over everything ,and I know that I’m not the only one who loves to read books amidst the bird’s chirping.

During the world wide lockdown I long so much for the rain drops to touch my cheeks, I long so much for a good walk in a park and for the winds to blow so fast. I long so much to smell lovely flowers when I walk past.

Nature makes me feel so humble and ready to take every blow with courage. As long as the simplicity and beauty of nature exist, which should be forever , I know there will solace for every sorrow. I believe that nature can bring comfort to all those who suffer.Nature is the one thing for which there is no substitute.As long as you can look fearlessly at the sky , you will know you are pure within and will find happiness once more.

Gratitude is like money that we can mint for ourselves whenever and however we want and can also spend it without the fear of bankruptcy.

I am a firm believer of gratitude. For me gratitude is a powerful process for shifting my energy to better things and bringing more of what I want into my life.

We as humans have a tendency to always look at the darker side. “Why is my car so small?” , “she has a bigger house” , “He earns way more than me”. we intend to blame God and other people in our life for what we don’t have but what we forget to do is ,to be grateful to God for everything that we already have. What we have now is not a big deal for many of us. Being grateful for what we have is life changing. Instead of blaming we could say ‘Thankyou God for the car that I have ”, ” Thankyou god for a house to live in” or “Thankyou god for making me capable enough to earn for myself” and it could also be for the smallest things possible like “Thankyou God for the parking space I found today” , ” Thankyou God for a good cup of coffee I had today” . These small things can change your day . These small things and small acts of Gratitude can turn your life upside down. It all starts from within. Happiness starts from within. Positive thought and gratitude attracts all the happiness that you want and you surely deserve.

Gratitude is absolutely the way to bring more into our life

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more.”
-Oprah Winfrey
Being grateful for what you have today will bring abundance in future. You will be showered for everything you wish right now if you will be grateful for the smallest things you have today be it a good group of friends or a roof to live under.You will find yourself in a space which has so much to offer you in coming days.

My life turned around when I started the practice of being grateful. What I do to maintain this practice is that I write everyday before going to bed about things that I’m grateful for or the things that made me happy today. This practice helps me emit all the negative emotions that build inside my body and help me attain a positive frequency which not only gives me a good night sleep but also a healthier mind.

Whatever we think about and thank about we bring about.

Being grateful makes us more positive in life which in turn attract more good things in our life and more of things that we can be grateful for,thank God for. It’s impossible to bring more into our life if we are ungrateful for things we already have. If you thank about a good day that you had in your office today you will be a receiver of better days in coming time.

We all have days in our life when we think we have reached the rock bottom and there is no good left. But on these days think about the days which brought a lot of happiness in your life and soon you will be attracting all the goodness back to you. On such days don’t think about all the misery,but about all the beauty that still remains.This is the attitude of gratitude. Use gratitude until it becomes your way of life.

It’s strange for me to write my heart out here because 1.I don’t have enough confidence and 2. It seems like who would like to read what a 19year old writes.

I have always been very interested in writing , reading and all of these content related things. I have realised that my mind is chaotic place where thousands of thoughts pass by every single second and I believe paper (here my blog) has more patience than people. I am writing this in a complete state of confusion,not knowing whether I would make it public or not, tell people that I have written something or not,would have enough confidence about my writing or not… Uhmm… Told you my mind is a chaotic place.

I think I’m writing this because while writing I open my heart to say things which I might not say in front of people,I am my trueself when I write,I share my most unrealistic thoughts while writing, write things which I thought people would laugh at or don’t care about it if I tell them.. I think I might just begin this journey.

Writing gives me joy,makes my mind calm and gives me the confidence I need. Right now I feel like taking the first step in faith. I don’t have to see the whole staircase ,just have to take the first step.

So, here I am to give a platform to the endless thoughts of my restless mind.

Thankyou for reading!
