After we’ve been hurt, betrayed or disrespected, the first thing almost all of us think of is how to get even, how to give the other a dose of their own medicine. The deeper the hurt, the more we are prone to getting lost in ways to give back. Revenge spawns an endless cycle ofContinue reading “Getting Past It vs Getting Even”

The Company We Keep
A big chunk of our present and future state of mind and being depends on the company we keep. Surround yourself with the right people and you’ll be growing phenomenally. Surround yourself with the wrong people and you’ll probably be drifting like a leaf that goes where the wind blows! You’re the average of theContinue reading “The Company We Keep”
Holding onto anger
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”
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”
Joy vs Happiness
I was always confused about the difference between joy and happiness. Some say that joy is just a state of mind which is focused on seeking positivity, pleasant experiences, positive thoughts while happiness is based on circumstances, external factors. As I see it, joy is something deeper, something more profound. Joy brings you comfort andContinue reading “Joy vs Happiness”
Taking the Leap
Here’s a lovely story on dealing with obstacles. Two students were asked to meet their teacher at the start of a track through the forest. He gave them instructions to follow the path to its conclusion, in preparation for a test later in the week. The path had two sides, one side was clear andContinue reading “Taking the Leap”
Fill the Gap
When I read this post, I was taken back to my younger days. My dad passed away when I was three and growing up with a single working parent isn’t all that easy. There are so so many people who went out of their way to “fill the gap”, who were there for us. FamilyContinue reading “Fill the Gap”
What to do instead of comparing?
We often catch ourselves playing the comparison game. Each of us have our own triggers that cause us to fall into the trap of comparing, thus resulting in our confidence taking a nose dive! We all know the gut wrenching feeling that arises when we see or hear something that immediately has us second guessingContinue reading “What to do instead of comparing?”
