"NOW" is all we have.

-
All we have is Now. If it doesn't drive you, or delight you, stop doing it right now and start doing something you love. If there's someone who inspires you, let them know. If there's someone you love, tell'em. You absolutely have no time to waste.                         
                                                                                   - Birdie of Bonne Vie.
 
You know when you get so far down a certain path, you forget why you started? You forget where you're heading? 
Well, the truth that, life is short and all we have is the moment we are in , is heart breaking to think that this moment will never come back. It's scary to realise how easily life can feel like that.
When the year started we all have a series of plans to accomplish this year. Everyone having a target to achieve. None of us knew what the year has in the box for us. We can't even think that our lives will come to a pause. We don't know what the tomorrow is going to bring.
Therefore, the real fact is that - All we have is Now. No matter how much planning and controlling we do in our lives,we really have no idea what the next moment is going to put forward? The past is the past, it's gone, it doesn't matter anymore. The future is yet to come, it's something we don't know about. Staying in the present should be the principle of each one's life because if we keep going to the past or the future, we can never live the moment we are in. 
Remind yourself -
                   This is life. This is it. Are you being who you want to be? Doing what you want to do?
Working on what you want to be is alright but plunging to the past or the present will not do any good except taking you away from the present. Be in the current moment enjoying it, so you won't regret it later. Make the most of what you have in your hand rather than controlling something that can't be controlled.

Take the RISK

  TAKE THE RISK or LOSE THE CHANCE When it comes to taking risks in our lives, we prefer to stand safe in our comfort zones. We never want to come out and act out of that zone. We believe that we are safe if we are not taking any risk. But, playing safe at all times is nothing more than learning the same lesson repeatedly in life. We settle for the ordinary without realizing that great things never happen in our comfort zones. If we want to make it big in life then it is important to realize that it can’t be achieved in our comfort zone. If we want to do something remarkable in life then we have to move out of that comfort zone. Acting out of the comfort zone is the only key to a successful life since life is found on the other side of risks. Taking risks comes with a lot of challenges but once we face them, then the view is beautiful on the other side. When we take risks we are open to a plethora of opportunities and outcomes. Taking risks puts forward the potential with...

Am I a good Human Being?

Being good isn't an easy task. To be so, you must acknowledge the bad within you. Am I really good? This is a question that has always bothered me. On some days I think I am and on others I think I'm not. Being good isn't hard too, but it doesn't just happen. Everyone has a different journey, being good has a lot to do with discovering yourself. You have to accept and love yourself for who you are before you can put the goodness into the world. For me, "Goodness" always comes straight from the heart in it's purest form. It is doing good to others, being honest and kind to everyone and everything. I've always tried to embody the qualities I admire in others and at the same time remembering the person I am because being yourself always helps in being a genuine person. I dwell on happiness as it brings out the good in you and on the good around instead of focusing on the negative. I've always done things that make me believe I'm a good person and ...

Note to self: Let shit go.

There's an Arab proverb that says " You should write the bad things that happen in the sand, so they can be easily erased ".   However, it's the human tendency to engrave bad things on marble and carry it with them lifelong. Taming a mind is like disciplining a child when it is constantly running in the directions you don't want it to. O ur minds and thoughts are a small part of us, but once we start seeing it as important, we can train it better at remembering the good things and letting go of the bad that becomes heavy baggage for the mind. Letting shit go is not easy because we are used to holding onto things that make the process difficult. We take things as we are the ones in control but we don't realize that holding onto unworthy things will make no sense rather than increasing the weight of our baggage. When it comes to me, I too hold onto things for a long time. But I constantly remind myself to embrace the worthy and let go of unworthy.  Once we promi...
