New chapters everyday for your mind, your heart and most of all, your soul!!
Saunter by the busy, flowing brook which gurgles like an infant, basking in the late afternoon sun. Feel the cold caress of green grasses, gently thawing under bare feet; t...
Loneliness is the easiest route for negative and ill-feelings to enter the sanctum-sanctorum of our minds and wreak havoc. Being alone with ourselves when we are sad and grieving is worse than having people throw stones at us.
Why? It is because our mind becomes a quicksand of negativity that pulls us inside, without our control, ruins our days completely. We tend to seek solace from a person or a thing of the outside world, under such circumstances.

When we know the true value of love and how it is actually defined and set up, we become oblivious to a world that is one big chaotic mess of mostly-unrelated and downright meaningless dramas along with the people that bring them into our life.
There’s always a voice inside us that says all the negative things to us, eventually we get weakened and yield into its vile words.
Mental and emotional stability goes for a toss in such situations.
Whatever our mind says to us, we won’t be able to fight or argue. Ultimately we’d surrender. We would be maxed out of all energy to fight those cancerous thoughts inside our head that make us feel absolutely hopeless.
The question that most frequently asked yet never so frequently answered. ‘Why me?’ ‘After going through so much ordealing, pain and suffering so many losses, why is it still me that is getting hit again and again?’ It becomes all the more hurting when the mind thinks that, ‘I am suffering even when I did not ask for anything big out of life. I just wanted to be contented with a simple life where I can be happy with what I have, with the people who actually care about me.’
Constantly comparing ourselves with the lives of those who are doing just fine or even good, make us wonder what we are here for? They are of the same age as me, yet they’ve accomplished so much. But, I’ve made no big achievement. These words, mostly blind and blunt lies, often come from our mind to keep us from getting up and fighting. When our mind becomes a prey for such things, it will be actually very difficult for us to get up on our feet. But still, few things can slowly help us. Whenever thoughts about other people enter our mind, be it good or bad, scrutinize them at the gate itself. ‘Why am I thinking about someone, whom my life has nothing to do with?’
Eventually we would find that those thoughts are shallow and obviously stupid.
A man’s semen contains millions of spermatozoa, of which only one can fertilize the egg or ovum, and become a baby and set foot on Earth.
So, definitely we are one in millions, which is really a great wonder. After birth too, no single person shares your exact fingerprints, eyes prints, so on and so forth.
You are the only one and you are unique in every way. There’s no one on this planet that is exactly like you.
Your birth, your family, your hobbies, your likes and dislikes, your behaviour, your passion, your situations, your friends, your love, your work, your brain, your thoughts, your abilities, your experiences, your health, your problems, your secrets, etc. All these things contribute to the person that’s called ‘you’.
I’ve been writing diary since 2008; it’s been 10 years already and when I read any of those, to my absolute surprise, I found that no two pages share exactly similar events and experiences. That’s 3653 days (including the leap years) and each one is unique. So, it does in everyone’s life too.
We’ve no right to compare ourselves with others. That’s a sin that we commit to the self. We question the supreme power about its creation. We ask that because we think he might be wrong. Does that even make sense, first of all?
Take a look at yourself in the mirror. The person whom you see in the mirror is not the same person some ten years in the past. Several battles had been fought, few won and maybe many lost. There could be so many wounds, so many scars that are still healing. But, look at you, you’ve survived all those. You’re the most wonderful person to you in the world. You’ve crossed so many things. You thought you wouldn’t last, but you did. Isn’t that incredible? Cut yourself some slack. You were hurt, beaten, back stabbed, ignored, taken for granted, used, misunderstood, thrown... but, you were also loved by the ones who truly care for you.
You cannot throw your life away because, you need to live at least for the few people for whom you are the world. They cannot possibly live without you; they cannot see you getting hurt. Even if it’s only one person or two, it doesn’t matter. When your life doesn’t make any sense to you, you make it meaningful for them. Find your meaning in them.
Time is something that has absolute power to do anything it pleases with us. It is like fighting a losing battle when we go against time.
Everything happens at the right moment. I have a favorite quote that goes: “Even the darkest hour has sixty minutes.” Even this shall pass; even this wound shall heal. The power of infinity governs everything. It is silly to act so out-of-the-world happy when good things happen and all the more stupid to think that becoming sad and grieving is the best way of reacting to ill-happenings. Both are like the two poles of the earth. We are to pay visits, and not dwell there permanently.
The situation should never control us. We should be in control of the happenings around. At the same time, when good things come our way, it is not right to take it to head, and similarly, when difficult times come it’s not right to take it to heart. Only one thought can make us want to live and slowly build hope that someday life will become good. That is living for others.
It may sound blunt. But, it is not so. When you live for the ones that love you and be selfless in your love, and go about your day to day life, giving your personal issues the least importance and concern your life with then, you can row your boat continuously until, you reach the island you’d been looking for; belief and hope are two important things that cannot be tossed away. Believe and hope that good things will eventually happen to you.
You’d be able to smile and laugh like a normal person. You would stop comparing your life with others as you are content with your own life.
You’d be able to love and trust again, and this time, without being used. You’d be able to sleep peacefully like a baby. You’d be able to breathe easily and feel great at heart to be alive and to have succeeded as a survivor.
