We have a limited time here on earth. Life is too short to waste time ruminating on the past that won’t change, too short to hold onto grudges and choose to endure pain over the past you can’t change or people who you can’t force to change! Holding on to anger is like grasping aContinue reading “Holding onto anger”

The Wills, the Won’ts and the Can’ts
This quote from Disney’s “The Black Hole” has been stuck in my mind since I first heard it years ago. We won’t always fall into one of these categories, but by and large we default to one of them. And our reasons, whether we are aware of them or no, are very different from eachContinue reading “The Wills, the Won’ts and the Can’ts”
Leaving Your Mark
I am not sure in what context did Elvis, the king of rock, uttered these words, but it doesn’t seem like something he’d say. It really doesn’t matter who said it, these words touched me and has left me pondering on how we leave our mark based on who we are. We leave a bitContinue reading “Leaving Your Mark”

Temporary Comforts
The quote above speaks a thousand words! I was immediately taken back to when I just started working many years ago where I didn’t think twice on things I bought for myself. There are two schools of thought: one which says you should live each day as if it were your last and the otherContinue reading “Temporary Comforts”
People-Pleasing Addiction
Nobody wants to make enemies or sour relationships with others. And hence for most of us, saying “no” becomes extremely difficult. At times, it is even at the cost of our own peace of mind. Helping those you care about is definitely not the issue. However changing who you are and loosing yourself just toContinue reading “People-Pleasing Addiction”

Sometimes we wonder how some people seem to be at the right place and the right time and have all the luck. I do not believe in luck as there is a lot more than what we hear of these “success stories”. As the quote implies, it is pointless having a great car that isContinue reading “My Fishy Formula to Shine – 3 P”
Heal-thy
As we grow older, as we continue to go through the ups and downs of life, the number of not-so-good experiences go up. And life has a way of triggering these memories, reminding us of these parts of life that we’d rather not talk about. Oh yes, the past can hurt. But you can eitherContinue reading “Heal-thy”
Closed Doors
I’ve never believed in coincidences. Nothing happens just like that or for no reason. We may not understand why, we may not be aware of how circumstances brought us to where we are today. But I do believe in divine providence, God is constantly at work striving to make the best of our choices. OftenContinue reading “Closed Doors”
Materialism
Anything in excess is bad. Materialism, afflicting both, the rich and the poor, is in every way self-destructive. There is a strong relation between being materialistic and feeling empty, unhappy. We have a real problem on our hand when we couple materialism with our fintech boom, where you can easily get a loan with aContinue reading “Materialism”
