This is an anecdote about reverse engineering our thoughts to achieve the dreams we wish to achieve. _______________________ There can be no growth, no innovative thoughts or creativity when we choose to have fixated thinking.

Relationship: If you love someone, never go to the supermarket together
When we’re single, there is always a romantic notion attached to the ideals of coupledom, and all the things we could do as a couple. Neglecting the mundaneness of life … Catching up with paired up friend/s, and them … showing wonderful holiday snaps (fuels) a tinge of envy that we are not at that…

Forgiveness comes from a place of understanding
If you can’t do it for them, do it for you. Don’t wait to forgive. The time on earth is finite. Why are we holding a grudge? Is it because we feel entitled to it? At what cost are we paying? We never consider the hidden cost of unforgiveness. Or the fact that we ……

What would you do if you weren’t afraid. A tale of courage
What would you do if you weren’t afraid? Do that. That’s your calling. Don’t look around to see what others are doing. A footstep in the sand is never the same. It has a unique pattern, just like our spirits. Sometimes, it takes a long time to play ourselves. There is no manual on how…

What experience helped me grow the most?
Kindness. Because, genuine kindness showed me the other side of humanity and gives hope for a better world.

Stay present: Don’t worry about the past. And – The future is not here yet.
Stay present. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. The future doesn’t matter. It’s not even here yet. Why worry about something that is in the distant future? Does the God of this earth even look that far ahead? Or is it just me wanting to play a bad form of the deity? Why add more worries to…
