Each and every day, we’re inundated with stories about how the world is going to hell. War, poverty, pollution… all manner of atrocities are flung at us from all directions, and it’s enough to draw even the most lighthearted person into a pit of despair. Fortunately, a great way to counteract all that ugly isContinue reading “Little Things Go A Long Way”

Excuses Zaps Your Motivation
When I saw this quote, the first thing that came to my mind is the inspiring story of 11 year old James who had a big, impractical idea. He was going to graduate from high school. Before you dismiss what would seem an alarmingly average accomplishment, consider his story. James lived in rural, war-torn Uganda. HeContinue reading “Excuses Zaps Your Motivation”
Living within your Means
Being financially responsible is important for your health and your financial life. To “live within your means” means that what you spend each month is less than or at least equal to the amount of money you bring in each month. For many people, it’s a lot easier said than done. When your lifestyle exceedsContinue reading “Living within your Means”
Keep the Faith
Worry and stress is an issue for me, for you, for everyone. Although I believe in God, more often than not, I’ve trusted more in my own abilities than I have in his faithfulness. We think, I know God’s a good God and all that, but I’ve got this situation handled. And when it turns outContinue reading “Keep the Faith”
Don’t Ass-U-Me Anything!
When I was in school, my uncle Joe shared this old saying with me: to “assume” makes an “ass out of you and me”. This play on the word assume definitely makes a lot of sense. When there is a problem, if we dig down under the layers of misunderstandings, there usually lies a big messContinue reading “Don’t Ass-U-Me Anything!”
Worry Less, Live More
The one thing we all do when we’re so caught up in our heads is that we create a reality that hasn’t or will never come into being! You talk to yourself in your brain and convince yourself of the certainty that the thing you’re anticipating will be a particular way. Oh, he’s going to be soContinue reading “Worry Less, Live More”
Aimless Wandering
One of the key reasons I was trapped into aimless wandering for sometime was because I kept listening to what everyone around me was saying. That was when I came across this quote by Winston Churchill “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.” During ourContinue reading “Aimless Wandering”
Everything is in His Hands
Life is not predictable. There are ups and downs along the way. Many of us want to trust God. When times are good, it can feel easier. But when times feel difficult, it is even more important to trust God. God’s unchanging character can give us a firm foundation when things feel unsteady and uncertain. LifeContinue reading “Everything is in His Hands”
Appreciating What You Have
This image takes me back to my first visit to a Jesuit mission station, a village in the Palghar district of Maharashtra. The villagers had to walk a long distances in the hot sun to get essential supplies. We live in a world of instant gratification where we place an order on our phones andContinue reading “Appreciating What You Have”
Asking the Right Questions
There are some of us who keep asking questions about anything and everything. We may call them skeptics, doubting Thomases etc. Life is full of questions, it’s almost as if the more questions we have, the less answers there are. The fact that we have questions is a good thing though, because it means weContinue reading “Asking the Right Questions”
