Finding Our Way Back

By -
Image
V ery often we feel that we are lost in life. We can not see a clear path ahead of us. We feel that we have lost our purpose and who we are. At times there is nothing to motivate us, nothing to keep us running. I am here to tell you that it is going to be ok. You are exactly where you should be in life. Who knows, maybe an amazing chapter is about to start. The only certainty about this world is the uncertainty of things. At this very time of my life, I am having a self-realization about how uncertain things are. Eventually, everything will change, your surroundings, the people you associate with. There is a chance that your whole belief system might change, you will start to look at things differently. It is nothing to fear, you just need to sit down, clear your mind and re-think. You might realize that the universe is trying to show you another path. Feeling lost will not harm you unless you do not understand what is going on with you. The most recent example about me which I can ta...

Understanding Your Loneliness

By -
Image
Loneliness, most of us might have felt alone during some part of our life. We might have even wondered why we feel alone even when we are surrounded by family and friends. It has been identified that the generation aged from 16 years to 25 years are suffering more from loneliness. What is loneliness? Simply defined, loneliness is an unpleasant emotional response to perceived isolation. Some people might say that it's the lack of friends or rather the company around you. A person might feel alone due to various reasons. One reason might be the lack of stable relationships. Some of us have the experience of having friends who have been present in our life since childhood while some of us find it difficult to maintain stable relationships with friends. It's mostly because of the quality of the people we associate and the lack of understanding they have about us. In friendship it is normal to be felt understood and respected. There are many occasions where I felt alone because I fe...

Meditation and What Comes After

By -
Image
My meditation journey started six years ago. Back then I meditated on and off without any guidance. Looking at some of the Meditation videos on YouTube, I would sit in one place, close my eyes, and try to focus on my breath. About two minutes into the meditation, the first thought pops up. It would be something related to work or home. Now they say in meditation when you get a thought to acknowledge it, leave it aside and again focus on your breath. Well this never happened those days. Most of us haven't developed our minds to be that calm. Leaving aside my focus on the breath, I would wander in my imagination. This is when Meditation becomes daydreaming.  Ten minutes out and I start to realize that I am daydreaming. I fix myself again and start focusing on my breath. Five minutes go by and I feel my head nodding backward. I have fallen asleep. This continues for months. At some point I gave up and stopped.  Years went by and 2020 came. I thought I'll start my meditation journ...

Dealing With Difficult People

By -
Image
We meet different people in life, and some of these people tend to make our life difficult. We might meet them at work, in classes or they could be our friends and family. We are not going to escape these difficult people, they are a part of our life. The only thing we can do is to learn how to live with them. Accepting that difficult people are a part of our life will be the first step in learning to live with them. Most of the time, it's not the person who is difficult, it's just that, they make life difficult. Usually each of these people who we label as difficult has their own story as to why they are like that. Mostly they are unaware that they are difficult to work with or to associate.   Before we go into a discussion of this topic, I want you to do one exercise. Try to think of a person who has been making your life difficult, now take a piece of paper and divide it into two, write good in one corner and bad in the other corner. First start writing all the good things ...

Work During Lockdown

By -
Image
I stepped out of home at 7.00 AM today, which is to go to work. I was driving and I looked around to see how people looked. Everybody was wearing face masks and some were even wearing gloves. Everybody looked very concerned and I believe that it's fair enough. Traffic was very low, I didn't even see one bus traveling in my rout. Things have changed a lot. People are being very careful.  My phone started ringing, and it was a member of my staff, he said: " Ma'am the train has already left". His train was at 7.39 AM and he was at the station on time but the train has left early. So it's one staff down. I think to myself, that's ok we can manage. Then five minutes later I get another call. It's another staff, this one traveling by bus. She says "Miss I have been waiting at the bus halt since 6.30 AM but no bus. Now I am a bit annoyed, they say we can bring 1/3 of the staff to work but there is no way for them to come to work. I think, it's ok I c...

Mid September

By -

The way our eyes met on and off on and off  Mid-September at a coffee shop  The hesitation in your eyes  Gave me the answer I was looking for  We talked and talked and talked some more  Until our hearts met and the sparks went off  I knew it’s real, the feeling in my veins  The feeling in my bones and my breath    I don’t know what love is  But I think it might be you....  Cos it’s my heart and my heart skipped a beat  When I met you  I was looking for a reason to stay  When there were millions of reasons to walk away  Hold on, give time, stay  My mind kept playing again and again  No need to touched to be felt, no need to speak to be understood  It was a love like never before  and a love I will never let go   I don’t know what love is  But I think it might be you....  Cos it’s my heart and my heart skipped a beat  When I met you

To My Mother

By -

May 10 of every year is known as Mothers' Day. I don't know why Mothers' Day is just one day. Mothers should be celebrated every day. We might not notice, but they are a unique set of individuals with superhero skills. They would shower us with unconditional love, and we wouldn't even notice it. They would cry behind closed doors, and we wouldn't even know. They would get sick but we will still get our meal on time. They will be tired but our clothes will be washed and the house will be cleaned. Here we are trying to compare yourselves to our mothers and its starting to look like a joke. How can we compare ourselves to a goddess?  Only my mother and I know about the things she had to go through because of me. It took me a long time to realize that all those things she did, she did to protect me. She was a working mother, I saw her waking up every morning at 4.30 AM to cook. She always listens to the radio while cooking and we would wake up just as the obituary notic...
