What have you done today that your future self will thank you for? This is a question I often pose to myself. Sometimes I can answer with a number of positive, future supporting tasks that I have ticked off my ‘to do’ list for that day. Clearly these things will have both long and shortContinue reading “The Past, Present & Future”

Suffering: A Catalyst for Change
Bad stuff happens. If you’re human, you have experienced more hardships than you can count. Whether you lost your job or a relative, sometimes the anguish seems like it’s too much to bear. It’s often easy to wish that bad things would never happen to us. Why can’t we be like those other people whoContinue reading “Suffering: A Catalyst for Change”
Living a Life of No Regrets
We all have something stored in our memories of the past that we wish we could have done differently, or something we wish we didn’t do. As we get older we learn and grow, but that doesn’t mean we have to regret what we did before we learned how to do things differently. If weContinue reading “Living a Life of No Regrets”
What will people remember YOU for?
Life is a Journey…and with every day that passes, the journey gets faster. Days get shorter and good intentions grow and grow. It’s hard to find time to stop and think. There are always emails to answer, calls to make, trains to catch…But one day, your journey will end, and people will either remember youContinue reading “What will people remember YOU for?”
Finding Inner Peace Amidst Chaos
One of the main things I’ve realised over the last few years is that you don’t need to meditate on a mountain top or in the middle of nowhere at a secluded spot to find inner peace. Making time to relax is important but we need calm and composure in the midst of our fast-paced,Continue reading “Finding Inner Peace Amidst Chaos”
God Knoweth Best
When softly falls the dew at eventide,Then, tired, we lay ourselves away to rest;Confiding: in the One who knoweth best,We trust in him and nothing- else beside. What if dark demons oft attack our soul,And friends forsake, and parents look with scorn?We’ll trust in God; he’ll keep from every harm.We’ll live for him while endlessContinue reading “God Knoweth Best”
Breathe
She sat at the back and they said she was shy.She led from the front and they hated her pride. They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance.They branded her loud, then were shocked by her silence. When she shared no ambition they said it was sad.So she told them her dreams and theyContinue reading “Breathe”
Power of Self-Talk
The line between failure and success often comes down to something as simple as self-talk. Powerful and positive self-talk can change your entire mindset, which can affect your actions. That, in turn, can have a massive impact on how successful you are on any journey you take or any obstacle you face. What we tellContinue reading “Power of Self-Talk”
Don’t Stop Believin’
We often let fear or insecurity stop us from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don’t like them or even if they are mean to you. Without confidence in your own powers, you cannot be successful or happy. Have faith inContinue reading “Don’t Stop Believin’”
When was the last time you stood up for someone?
In today’s world we have become desensitized to so much that happens around us. We prefer not interfering maybe because of the consequences. Here in India, the last few years has been filled with stories of intolerance and jungle-raj which has driven a lot of us to be silent. When I hear this phrase ofContinue reading “When was the last time you stood up for someone?”
