Everyone has a story
Everyone has a story, Everyone has been through something (things) that changed them Everyone is hopefully evolving daily and even through moments And hopefully changing in all the ways that make us better and not bitter. So, don’t judge people by the chapter you walked in on

Happiness in moments
If happy should be a destination, an aspiration, a goal, then what happens after and beyond happy? For something as fleeting, happy should only be enjoyed in moments; small and big ones alike. Like wind, moments sip through our hands. There is no constant grand pristine state of being or existence, unless you should be…

Love yourself with tenderness.
When you love yourself, be deliberate and tender. You are uniquely you and no one can be a better you. You are God’s gift to the world; His masterpiece. When you look at yourself, say those same sweet things to you that you’d say to the person you love. Be unconditional while at it. Invest…

#1 Travel diary…
Travel therapy is so real. And now I know that’s mine. In my language we have a saying that when a child doesn’t move, they say their mother is the best cook. Of course an innate feeling of undying loyalty to a good mother would call us to cling to the belief that out mother…

Holding the relatable story
It’s quite easy Everytime someone listens to another person tell their story, their experience to immediately think: “I know what you’re talking about. I’ve been through that. I have a relatable experience. “ The thing is though, that you haven’t listened to their story and much as it may have similarity(ies) to yours, this is…

Self-care doesn’t mean that you’re selfish.
Self-care doesn’t mean that you’re selfish. It’s in fact the very opposite of selfish. The better you are at taking care of yourself; physically, mentally, spiritually, the better you will be at taking care of others. The more filled we are with self love and care, the more we are able to give of ourselves.…

Whatever you think you want from someone else,….
“Whatever you think you want from someone else, Give it to yourself first.” ~Unknown~ No one knows how to love you like you know. No one knows how to validate you like you can. As the world sees you love yourself, the world learns how to love you. Most of our frustration with people comes…

Deliberate presence.
Be present More than talk, speak When you speak, be mindful of what you communicate When you hear, listen Hug them and then some – embrace them Don’t simply be awake, be aware When you look at them, try to see them. Judgement is easy and light, try empathy

Appreciate what you do have here and now.
If you stop worrying about what you don’t have maybe you’ll appreciate what you do have. Many times in life we are stuck in the dark places of our lives; the dirt corners, the undesirable family history, the failed dreams and unrealized goals, the hidden scars (physical, spiritual and/or emotional), the missteps, lost or never…

Love begins with one person just showing it
It’s like they say; ” The world is full of kind people. If you can’t find one be one.” Many times the excuse we have for falling short of love is that other people are nasty and undeserving. It is very easy to find fault when you go looking for it. It is equally possible…

Meaningful Conversation
I have this friend who has taught me what it means by conversation. She has very strong opinions and I too have very strong opinions. We agree on principle and mostly disagree when it comes to context. We have lots of conversations about so many things ranging from Spirituality (Faith/God), relationships, family, work, career, cultures,…

You matter. I matter. We matter.
If we all put the goodness in use; that acquired by nature as human beings and everything we have learnt through nurture we shall realise that we are all an important part of the world. It’s like a symphony in which everyone finds their part and when we all play it right we create a…

What if kindness became the new extreme ?
What if we filled the world with so much love and expressed so much kindness until we have given everything there is in us to give ? Kindness is expressed in all forms; simple as a smile offered to a total stranger, a good morning to the person who just stands next to you or…

Conversation with people.
The art of communicating verbally to each other by all means surpasses all kinds of study we could ever do about people, culture, beliefs, anything at all. The best way to know anyone at all is to come up close. The best way to educate oneself about others and deal with our ignorance is to…

Act on your love
Express your love and compassion towards those you intend to. Let your positive emotion be compelled into motion. Tell your people you love them, don’t leave them guessing. Share your time and resources with those in need. Good wishes do work but a physical helping hand goes a long way and sometimes that’s what people…

Loneliness and solitude.
Alone is not at all equivalent to lonely. You can be alone but completely happy and content with your solitude. Some people are so good at solitude. Solitude does not always translate to loneliness, an unpleasant emotional response to perceived isolation. Solitude can infact be very freeing and rejuvenating. It allows us to clear out…
