Empowering No

Empowering No

Life, family and relationships are perfect example of honey trap. Everyone in this life wants to hear a yes. We all are brought up with the fact that saying No is impolite, rude, and politically incorrect.  With every NO you say, your No will be questioned till you bow down and say yes for the request. No one is huge fan of listening a NO.

The moment you say yes, as per your peers, you are entrapped by an absolute, arrant nonsense, breathtakingly packaged, aggressively promoted, seductively laid out in front of you and completely irrelevant to your life or well being. 

I consider myself to be "yes" person which highlights my inability to say categorical No, though I pride myself on being open, willing, and ready to say "yes" at all times. But starting today, I will venture into saying “No” when I want to. Not a Maybe or a Perhaps; a straight, categorical No.  With all yes you say you become “People pleaser” and you lose your dignity, the “me” time. Saying no isn’t the same as being selfish; it’s about establishing boundaries to preserve yourself and maintain the apt balance in your life.

Start now to think only

"Since you alone are responsible for your thoughts, only you can change them. You will want to change them when you realize that each thought creates according to its own nature. Remember that the law works at all
times and that you are always demonstrating according to the kind of thoughts you habitually entertain. Therefore, start now to think onlythose thoughts that will bring you health and happiness."

Tears are not...

Tears are not the mark of weakness,but of power...They speak more eloquently than a thousand tongues.They are the messengers of overwhelming grief,of deep contrition and of unspeakable love.

WHAT'S YOUR ESSENCE?

WHAT'S YOUR ESSENCE?

You can't be yourself if you don't know, understand, and accept

yourself first. Find the time to figure out what you value. Consider

what makes up the essence of who you are.

Life is too ironic

“Life is too ironic to fully understand..
It takes sadness to know what happiness is,
noise to appreciate silence
&
absence to value presence"

Self Encouragement

Self Encouragement

Recognize your achievements and give yourself a pat on the back. Self-encouragement is the key to self-esteem.

Whether it's doing a task well, bouncing back after a disagreement, or following a routine all week - appreciate your achievements, (even if it's something small) and you will thrive.

Don't be Judgmental..

A pear Tree Teaches Lessons on life :: Don't be Judgmental..

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don't judge life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come sometime or later.
