Be Positive. How many times have you heard these words being told to you? How many times have you mouthed them to others? Have you ever paused and realized the amount of pressure these two words can put on others and on yourself? Human beings come inbuilt to experience a range of emotions. Some, like love, happiness, and contentment are …
Pray for People Who Wish you Ill #MayTivation
When I was growing up I had an Aunt who epitomized the word, ‘Nasty’. Acid-tongued, she ensured that every family gathering ended with at least one person, if not more, in tears. As children, we were her favorite targets. She would spot us and zero in on us, spewing every nasty thought she could think of, commenting on our looks, …
What does your price tag say? #MayTivation
A price tag is a label indicating the price of an object for sale. A price tag is what we first glance at, either consciously or unconsciously, when we are out shopping. The numbers on a price tag are almost always indicative of our response to the object. The higher the price tag the more awe, and at times want, …
Emotional Upgrade, anyone? #MayTivation
We live in a day and age where technology moves faster than we can catch up with it. Buy the latest gadget and before you even start using it fully an upgraded version of it hits the market. It’s the same with Apps, those saviors we can’t do without! Even your blog plugins and everything that we use is upgraded …
Of Expectations… #MayTivation
Expectations. We all have them from the people around us, just as they do. Family, friends, colleagues, and staff. Various kinds of expectations. There are material expectations and there are emotional ones. Moral ones, physical ones, justified ones, and unreal ones, the list is endless. I never believe people who say they have no expectations, as my experience with such …
Are you going to pieces trying to ‘Keep the Peace’? #MayTivation
Peace. We all want it. This tranquillity in our lives. This living in harmony with goodwill all around. However, Peace does not prevail by itself. You have to work towards first creating it and then maintaining it. A tough job, if there ever was one. So how do you create a peaceful atmosphere? After all, we live, work, and deal …
Pay It Forward #MayTivation
No human being is an island. As much as we may like to believe or tell ourselves that we are self-sufficient, could almost do it all, and that we ‘don’t need anyone’, experience teaches us that that is not the case. Life is unpredictable, as is human behaviour. We never know what the next moment might bring. At some time …
Are you lying to yourself? #MayTivation
‘Liar! Liar! Pants on fire! Nose as long as a telephone wire!’ Remember this ditty from when we were kids? Growing up makes us realize that neither our pants catch fire nor do our noses change their shape and length when we lie. ‘I don’t lie!’ is the immediate thought that comes to mind, right? Yes, you do lie. I …
It is only between You and The Universe #MayTivation
Do you occasionally find yourself waiting for an apology that never came? Or waiting for an old hurt to heal? Maybe a long forgotten wish that you thought you had buried deep inside, which refuses to stay there and nudges the recesses of your mind every once in a while? Or perhaps there is something you want to say to …
We are all our Autobiographies in motion #MayTivation
When we talk about ourselves, more often than not flattering adjectives are used as self-description. ‘I believe in being kind’ or ‘I am very understanding’ or ‘I am always honest’ or ‘I don’t believe in hurting people’ or ‘I believe in being humble’ and so on and so forth. Have you ever wondered about how often your actions match your …
