You become a master of your life when you learn how to control where your attention goes.
Value what you give your energy and time to.
To attract better,
you have to become better yourself.
You can’t do the same things and expect change.
You can’t blame anyone or anything.
It’s time to take responsibility for your reality.
Start transforming your mindset.
Start upgrading your habits.
Start being more positive.
Start being a true real version of yourself.

Progress also looks like:

• Learning something everyday.

LIFE is nothing but an INVESTMENT of MONEY or TIME.
Everything in life is either an investment of MONEY or TIME.
Use your money to
– Look better (grooming).
– Feel better (food choices).
– Make more money (invest).
Use your time to
– Look better (gym).
– Feel better (meditation).
– Make more money (skills).
Spend your time and money on things that will improve your quality of life.

It’s easy to look back and question decisions you have made in the past, but it’s unfair to punish yourself for them.
You can’t blame yourself for not knowing back then what you know now.
And the truth is you made each decision for a reason, based on how you were feeling at the time.
As we grow up we learn and we evolve.
Maybe the person you are now would have done things differently back then, or maybe you are the person you are now, because of the decisions you made back then.
Trust your journey, it’s all going to make sense soon.

I INVEST my time and energy where it feels right for me.
I CHOOSE to focus on experiences that are life sustaining, not life draining.

Someone had no eduaction, but was a millionaire at 21.
Someone got married at 20, but divorced 5 years later.
Someone got married at 30, but found everlasting love.

People pray for CAKE.
Sometimes GOD gives cake.
And sometimes GOD gives them butter, eggs, oil, icing, a pan & an oven.
Then they get frustrated and leave the kitchen.

But HOW BAD do you want it?
Everything in life is about your goals & desires.

If you feel like others aren’t treating you with respect, check your price tag.

Every good thing takes time.
You can’t rush things.
Growth is not linear, but a journey filled with challenges and opportunities to push to your destination.
No one can do it for you, it’s your journey.
And there will be days you’ll want to give up, but you can keep going.
There are no shortcuts to get there, so you have to embrace the process.
Think progress, not perfection.
Allow yourself to grow in the process.
Make room for failure too.
Just do your daily practice and cultivate a kind heart.
Bet on hard work.
Abandon impatience.
The results will come down when they’re ready.
Remember, consistent small steps are way better than just one big step with no further progress.

Forgive yourself for the bad decisions,

Time solves most things.
And what time can’t solve, you have to solve yourself.
We live in a generation that romanticizes hustle, and moving forward as quickly as possible when it comes to careers and our success within them.
But there is no point in rushing quickly towards a life that will not inspire you or fulfill you.

It is okay to take the time you need.
You are in no rush to figure out your own soul.

The real glow up isn’t proving the people from your past wrong.
It is finally feeling so content and hopeful about your future that you stop thinking about them entirely.
When you want to change your life in order for it to look different, and only that, you are still orbiting around the opinions of people who didn’t love you, and didn’t have any intention to.
A real glow up is authentic.
It is lifting off all the cover-up bullshit and addressing the real problems.
It is healing.
It is changing, for good.
It is, for the first time, prioritizing your heart over someone else’s eyes.
The real glow up is realizing that you have nobody to prove wrong but yourself. (Not my words.)

1. Personality is not set in stone.
You are able to take control or change it the way you like.

Both have their respective parts to play.

Give yourself some time.
Finally think about the situation again with a calm mind.

Not in every situation.
Instead “Listen to your heart. Act With Your Brain”.

Give some time and experience the change.

I know people who graduated college at 21, and didn’t get a salary job until they were 27.
I know people who graduated at 25 and already had a salary job.
I know people who have children and are single.
I know people who are married and had to wait 8-10 years to be parents.
I know people who are in a relationship and love someone else.
I know people who love each other and aren’t together.
There are people waiting to love and be loved.
My point is, everything in life happens according to our time, our clock.
You may look at your friends and some may seem to be ahead or behind you, but they’re not, they’re living according to the pace of their clock, so be patient.
You’re not falling behind, it’s just not your time.

You don’t just wake up someday and fall in love with yourself.

It takes patience but more than that it takes self compassion, empathy and kindness from yourself towards your own heart.

Like all the other forms of love, you will learn to love yourself by practicing SELF-LOVE.

Sometimes when things are really trying and painful all we can think is, why on earth do I have to go through this, why do I deserve this?
But there’s a better way to approach a trying moment in life.
Instead of resisting it, try surrendering to it and considering that there’s a reason it has been given to you and not somebody else.
If you are dealing with it, it is part of your journey.
The next time you go through a trying time, find the ways in which you can grow and learn instead of dwelling on your suffering.
I know it’s an experience that I need to have if God’s putting me through it.

There are many people who walk around with big egos feeling righteous and more entitled than others.
It doesn’t matter where you come from or who you think you are, we’re all human beings with beating hearts.
A lot of times people judge others and assume that they’re right, but you can’t just assume your point of view is right.
You have to be willing to see outside of yourself.
There are so many people in the world and if you’re only asking yourself for answers, then you’re living your life in a bubble.
Think twice before you feel like judging someone, put yourself in their shoes and remember they’re entitled to their own opinions and perspectives.

You don’t deserve a point of view if the only thing you see is you.

A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset.
When you wake up, take a second to think about what a privilege it is to simply be alive and healthy.
The moment you start acting like life is a blessing, I assure you it will start to feel like one.
Time spent appreciating is time worth living.
Most of our lives move at such an accelerated pace we don’t always have the time to stop and reflect on how far we’ve come.
We are usually too busy looking ahead.
But it’s so important to keep checking in with yourself.
We change all the time.
It’s easy to get caught up feeling dissatisfied with where you are when you don’t take the time to appreciate how far you’ve come.
You don’t have to be exactly where you want to be, but the fact that you are on your way is remarkable.
Good things and progress take time.
Make today all about celebrating how far you’ve come in your life since last year.
What is something you’ve changed in your life that you are proud of?

How is everything.
How is golden.
How closes doors and it opens them.
How creates something out of nothing.
It is not the years we live, but HOW we live them.
It is not who we cross paths with, but how we love them & appreciate them.
It is not what we are given or not, but how we take what’s in front of us and turn it into all we ever needed it to be.
It is how we experience life, day in and day out, in the quietest moments and biggest ways.

CONSISTENCY is the only sign of love & loyalty.
There are some things that must happen because they must.
Things you can’t avoid, like growing up, failure, grieving, happiness, etc.
But when it comes down to it, life is really about people.
It’s about who you meet and who you don’t.
Who forgets you and who remembers.
Who soothes your bruises & helps you heal.
Who you run after and who chases you down the line.
It’s about who’s there when you feel alone and who’s not.
Who you could talk to and who makes it hard for you to be yourself.
That’s what’s important, PEOPLE.
The way they look into your eyes right before they’re gone and the way they smile right back at you when you return back home.
People, it’s always about people.
The ones who love you, protect you and the ones who are there for you when you need them most.
I hope you never forget that.

HOW TO BECOME A BETTER YOU EVERY DAY:
1. Become more observant.
Notice everything that surrounds you.
The world is full of examples, ideas, words, wisdom, mistakes and experiences.
2. Collect ideas.
Ideas and thoughts tend to evaporate from your mind too fast.
Try to capture them before it is too late.
Ideally, write down or sketch every single one.
3. Read. Read a lot.
Reading is probably the best investment of time ever.
Devote at least 30 minutes per day to reading.
Ideally, have a book always with you.
If you aren’t interested to buy a book or Kindle, then watch any free documentary in YouTube which can help you learn something new.
4. Analyze your day.
Before going to bed, spend 10 minutes analyzing your day.
Consider what things you managed to do well and what mistakes you made.
5. Start writing.
The biggest value of a good writing skill is that it cultivates a discipline.
First of all, the discipline of thinking.
Your thoughts will cease to be random and chaotic.
They will gradually become systematic and structured instead.
We all made choices that maybe weren’t the best ones.
The beauty of being a HUMAN is hidden in the mistakes we made.
First accept yourself for everything wrong you did.
Because acceptance matters nothing if you aren’t honest.
None of us are completely innocent, but we get a fresh start everyday to be a better person than we were yesterday.
Learn to be a positive/better version of yourself with time.
Be you.

Life can be fulfilling at both 16 and also 60. 25 and 35.
Joy is timeless.
Learning how to make the most of where you are does not have an age cut-off or a deadline.
You will always be able to sit and wonder about things that could have gone differently.
But you can also trust:
you have not missed out on what was meant for you.
I know it’s hard to trust when so much is unknown,
so instead of trying to make sense of it all at once,
take it all color by color, tree by tree, scent by scent, take it one by one.
You don’t have to take it all in at once.
Take in the newness of it all one moment at a time without worrying about the moments to come.
Let that be enough.
Breathe deep and let this moment be enough.
Let this be a place where you find peace.
Remember the ground beneath your feet, you belong here.
No one has taken your place.
You are not too far from grace.
Your story might be unfolding differently than expected but that doesn’t mean it won’t be beautiful.
Where you are meant to be, you will be in time, no matter your age or stage of life.
Life is fun. Let it be.

Be with someone who is invested in you.
I don’t mean someone who thinks you’re cute or funny.
I mean someone who wants to know every insignificant detail about you.
Someone who wants to read every word you write.
Someone who wants to hear every note of your favorite song,
and watch every scene of your favorite movie.
Someone who wants to find every scar upon your body,
and learn where each one came from.
Someone who communicates with both head & heart.
Someone who knows why you prefer black coffee & sourdough pizza.
Someone who wants to know your favorite brand of toothpaste & shower gel,
and which quotes resonate deep inside your bones when you hear them.
There is a difference between attraction, interest & the word i mentioned INVEST.

Recovery is a process no matter what it is you’re overcoming.
No one is better or greater for recovering faster.
It’s not a race.
You need to go at your own pace, even if that is pace is slow.
There will be days when you feel like giving up, don’t.
There will be days when you’re at risk of relapsing, don’t.
So long as you set your own pace and never go backward in your recovery, you’re making tremendous progress and that’s all that matters.
So be proud of what you’ve accomplished for yourself.
Don’t compare your recovery process to others.
Remember that each of us heals physically, mentally, and emotionally at the pace that’s right for ourselves.
Give yourself the time you need and deserve.

Be disciplined about what you respond and react to.
Most people are inconsistent, that’s their comfort zone.
Not everyone or everything deserves your time, energy and attention.
Stay in your light. Vibe with your tribe.
Few ways you can express how you feel towards someone;
1. I love you.
2. I need you.
3. I want you.
4. I want to be with you.
5. I don’t want to be without you.
6. I can’t live without you.
7. I miss you.
NEED, needs can be met somewhere else & being needy means being weak as well.
LOVE, this word is highly misused by people & especially someone like me needs a year to trust after a year of healing.
WANT is my favourite & number-3 is my pick out of all these 7.
WANT is that animalistic desire inside.
Which means i know i have few suitors/options, but who cares because it’s you and just you that i WANT for myself.
In case you love someone, remind them constantly & consistently that YOU WANT THEM.
Last time someone said “I WANT YOU” to me was on my birthday.
I haven’t replied that till now.
Never rushed towards anyone.
Never allowed anyone to rush towards me either.
The simple reason is;
“If someone is investing their time & energy on me, that person deserves a whole TAP”.
I am that kind of a person who hides nothing.
My only secrets are my bank account/credit card pin or my email/social media account passwords.
And right now, i am still in that phase of healing i mentioned above.
Whenever i say “LIONESS” in my posts, it’s my appreciation to that person who understands where i am coming from & why.
Appreciated for picking/dropping me at airport.
Appreciated for taking me out to my favourite brunch.
Appreciated for buying me a pair of white vans kicks after watching squid games.
Appreciated for helping me with carwash.
Appreciated for typing my thesis.
Very few people come with a clean heart & no stupid outlandish expectations.
So LIONESS, Like your favourite alphabet is T, my favourite word is “APPRECIATION”.
Rest all are a LEO-LEO thing i guess.😜

Remember you are not promised tomorrow.
So how are you going to ensure that you crash your heart into your life?
How are you going to ensure that you leave this world, whenever it happens for you, with a soul that is tender and full and weathered in the best way?
With a soul that was never asked to make itself smaller, with a soul that was never waiting for the day it was skinnier, or prettier, or cooler, or more successful, in order to take advantage of the time it was given?
We cannot wait to be the people we have always dreamed of being.
We cannot wait for life to perfect itself.
There is no right time, there is no perfect circumstance.
We have to leap, even when our legs are shaking.
We have to show up for ourselves not in 3 months, or 5 years, or 10 years, but now.
In this moment.
Because every single day is a blessing.
Every single day is a gift.
Do not lose sight of that.

Mama once said;
“We don’t just entertain friends/relationships outta fun, we build them over time, we respect them & we keep them. That’s why never accept or serve discounted garbage”.
I was in my teen days.
I was still getting pocket money from parents.
I wasn’t able to understand those heavy/right words.
I thought my mum was talking about not buying discounted clothes/stuffs or wasting money with friends during weekend trips.
Most of my friends know i hate discounted clothes now too.
In fact, i don’t have a single piece of clothing from any fast fashion brands.
Coming closer to my 30, now i am understanding that she told me not to hangout with people who have discounted/cheap personality/approach/attitude/mindset, It took me almost 14 years to figure out the real meaning behind those wise words.
Being a MAN means progression of understanding, knowledge, acceptance & virtue while developing better habits.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Watch it to understand how your shopping habits are shaping a climate & humanitarian disaster. There’s a reason I never buy clothes from H&M, Zara, TK Maxx or any store/brand with 50% discount board. I buy clothes which cost at least a hundred quid or more, and i wear them for ages. They stay with me because, I know I have spent enough money to buy them. And i fully remember how much I paid, I have a photographic memory. Fun part is, I still have t-shirts, jackets, hoodies & sneakers from my 8th grade & engineering college days which fit perfectly even today. FYI, I am a sneakerhead & my love for watches is something divine.)

We always hear “Slow and steady wins the race”, and though I love this idea.
I actually love the idea of slowing down to savor the little moments in life even more.
Living in our fast-paced world today, it’s easy to get into a busy routine and sometimes we literally don’t have time to catch our breath.
Not only is this not healthy for our bodies and our stress levels, but it takes the joy out of whatever we’re doing.
I’ve found that time goes quickly, and if I don’t stop and slow down, I miss the little moments.
So whatever place you’re rushing to or goal you are rushing to get, remember to enjoy the process too, otherwise what’s the point?
When you start to get wrapped up in your busy life, pause, take ten deep breaths, and try meditating or doing something that calms you down.
STAY STRONG & STAY CONSISTENT WITH THE WAY YOU ARE. (Not my words).
Slow and steady enjoys the race.

There are people who notice you only when you shine,
or when you fall into the darkness.
Not the average you.
Not the mediocre you.
But the great you, or the not-so-great you.
The people who are worthiest of your care are not those who only notice you at your best and worst but those who are with you at all times.
They don’t need an excuse to love you.
They don’t need an excuse to talk to you,
or to ask you how you’re doing!!
They don’t need an excuse to share their happiness with you.
They don’t need an explanation.
They give you one without you asking for it.
They assume the good in you before the bad.
So keep eyes open just so you don’t miss those people.
Such equations take long long time & trust to develop.
Once you find them, never let them go because those are not just friends but family members.
They’re life companions.
They are the people who will tell you when you are wrong simply because they’ve allowed themselves to tie their well-being to yours. (Not my words).
Vibe with people who are good for you.

Time always exposes what you mean to someone.
Date her who walks you till your car.
Date her who dares to steal your hoodie in front of your face.
Date her who wants to meet your parents, and is respectful towards them.
Date her who respects your siblings and family members.
Date her who’s kind to animals, its a reflection of how she’ll treat usual people.
Date her who makes you smile.
Date her who looks confident with or without makeup.
Date her who will listen to your complain or accomplishments.
Date her who doesn’t force you to do things you don’t want to.
Date her who will come hang out and cuddle just cause she can.
Date her who loves you through the good and the bad.
Date her who has seen you angry, happy, sad, and still feels for you.
Date her who has a hunger for SUCCESS & hunger for more beyond that.
Date her who actually utilises her time to the fullest, so that she can value your TIME.
Now you know you aren’t entertaining someone boring/sluggish.
Life can easily remain exciting happy happening even in a relationship if you are dealing with a stronger individual, stronger in finance & faith.

You deserve happiness.
I mean real happiness.
The kind of happiness that makes your heart fill with warmth.
And you deserve to feel what it feels like to be fulfilled.
To feel like the world isn’t against you.
To feel like you aren’t constantly treading water just to keep from drowning.
More than anything, you deserve to be okay.
And I know it’s hard to hear this,
especially when the world around isn’t doing great,
especially when you are so far away from loving yourself.
But I still want you to know,
“because one day, you are going to feel great again,
one day you are going to feel happy again”.
It’s just a matter of time.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is,
not think,
not wonder,
not imagine,
not obsess.
Just breathe, keep on doing you and have faith that everything will work out for the best.
TIME heals everything.

Don’t worry about what people think of you or about the way they try to make you feel.
If people want to see you as a good person, they will.
If they want to see you as a bad person, absolutely nothing you do will stop them.
Ironically, the more you try to show them your good intentions, the more reason you give them to knock you down, because they know they’ve got a part of you that will care about what they do.
Keep your head up high and be confident in what you do.
Be confident in your intentions and keep your eyes ahead instead of wasting your time on those who want to drag you back by not caring or by caring the wrong way.
Because you can’t change people’s views, you have to believe that true change for yourself comes from within you, not from anyone else.
At the end, it’s all about your understanding of own intentions & their importance in your life’s timeline.
TIME is non-refundable, use it with right intention.
You must believe, and you must have faith that time itself is much more able to prove your point than you are.

TIME decides who you meet in life,
your heart decides who you want in your life,
and your behavior decides who stays in your life.
THE TRUTH ABOUT MEETING SOMEONE AT WRONG TIME:
Timing is something that none of us can seem to get quite right with relationships. We meet the person of our dreams the month before they leave to go study abroad. We form an incredibly close friendship with an attractive person who is already taken. One relationship ends because our partner isn’t ready to get serious and another ends because they’re getting serious too soon.
It would be perfect, We moan to our friends. If only this were five years from now/eight years sooner/some indistinct time in the future where all our problems would take care of themselves. Timing seems to be the invariable third party in all of our relationships. And yet we never stop to consider why we let timing play such a drastic role in our lives. Timing is a bitch, yes. But it’s only a bitch if we let it be.
Here’s a simple truth that I think we all need to face up to: the people we meet at the wrong time are actually just the wrong people.
You never meet the right people at the wrong time because THE RIGHT PEOPLE ARE TIMELESS. The right people make you want to throw away the plans you originally had for one and follow it religiously.

That “perfect time” will never come, because time will never be just right bending to your ideals.
There will always be some form of adversity that you will be challenged with. And while the obstacle may feel like a sign that you shouldn’t start, know this: adversity comes with adventure and learning to overcome adversity is what sharpens you and prepares you for SUCCESS.
So take the challenge and face it head-on knowing that it’s yours to conquer. You are capable of great things.
YOU CAN’T ALWAYS WAIT FOR THE PERFECT TIME. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DARE TO DO IT, BECAUSE LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO WONDER WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN.
THE TIME IS NOW.

When you plant seeds in the garden, you don’t dig them up everyday to see if they have sprouted yet. You simply water them and clear away the weeds. You know that the seed will grow in time.
Similarly, just do your daily practice and cultivate a kind heart. Abandon impatience and instead be content creating the causes for goodness; the results will come when they’re ready.
Allow yourself to grow.
This video got nothing to do with the post above. I watched F9, thanks to my bestie bitch. Next few lines are my review of this movie.
1. Avoid this nonsensical garbage, I think F9 is nail in the coffin to this franchise. And please don’t watch any movies in vue, my neck is still hurting.
2. Watch Hitman’s wife’s bodyguard instead. Salma Hayek swearing is a delight, the best thing to watch out even though it’s a Ryan Reynold’s movie.😂

Value what you give your energy and time to.
Since my childhood i am that odd one out kinda person in my family. My family is a mixture of different values/culture/faith/religion. And i always feel bored when someone talks about religion or God. It’s my middle school days i remember, one of my friends named Mohsin said “he is a true muslim, because he is praying 5 times a day & he is fasting during EID”. The same way another christinan friend said “he follows everything from easter, saint patrick’s day, thanksgiving, christmas to sunday mass because he is a believer in ONE TRUE CHURCH catholic values/teachings”. All such things were just foolish to my middle school brain. My middle school & high school days were all about playing chess, basketball, some video games, playing piano, little bit of painting, if i had too much free time i was teaching trigonometry & physics to few of my dumb friends. I never understood religion & God.
Let’s come to the main part of the story. My religion is Hindu. And both of my parents are full time employees & they are also bit too much into social service. So during my childhood i got plenty of time to spend with my grandparents.
Out of curiosity once i asked my grandpa;
“All my friends say something about their God or religion. Is there a process to be a true or good hindu?”
First he laughed at me for 2 minutes, then he replied;
“You become a good human, that’s good hindu”.
I again asked;
“Which specific God to pray & what’s the prayer i have to chant?”
He again laughed at me, then replied;
“There are literally 33 million Gods in our religion, even i am confused. Right now finish your homework & studies, eat all vegetables without being a pain to your mama, don’t watch TV for long time, sleep before 9pm, wake up early in the morning, these are all your duties/work at this age, after few years your work will become your identity. And your work is your best worship to your God.”
That’s all i was taught about religion. My grandpa died at the age of 97+. I still remember every single moment i spent around him.
Some friends question why i attend church service sometimes even though i am not a Christian!! The answer is; There was a church on my way to school. Father of that church used to give free teacakes to every kid after morning prayer. Sometimes i used to eat that teacake while going to school, and sometimes i used to give it to any homeless or disabled person near my street.
These tiny memories are still alive in me. I work & i make little more money than i can consume even after my share of savings+investment, i try to give it back to the society from where i earned. That’s why sometimes it’s a visit to any orphanage, community shelter/home & sometimes also it’s a sunday service. It’s not like I don’t believe in God, it’s more like “I DON’T BELIEVE IN DIFFERENT RELIGIONS HAVE DIFFERENT GODS”. If there’s a GOD, there’s only one who lives inside your goodness.
The gist of the story is; Do something good everyday or just do your work/duty in time, rest assured your GOD loves you.

The hardest part about wanting something real is trying to convince everybody you’re not crazy for feeling like you deserve it. But then you realize, you don’t have to prove anything to anybody.
All you have to do is…
Be patient enough to make it right. Be committed enough to make it strong. Be honest enough to make it last. Us genuine ones deserve something great, we deserve something authentic. And we reserve the right not to be impressed with the usual. It’s not about being too picky or having unrealistic expectations, it’s about knowing you’ve dealt with enough of the BS and you’ve earned the right to have a preference.
Stay true to you, even when nobody gets it. Trust your heart, even when you’re scared. Believe in love, even after you’ve been hurt. Things get better the minute we stop expecting them to be perfect. Timing is everything, so always remember: Some amazing things can happen when you mix patience with hope.

If there is ever a day when you feel tired of saying good for them and you are wondering when things will be good for you, take heart with great hope, and consider all the things this season of growing will lead into. Like an ocean that awaits many miles way, you may not be there yet, but you are surely on your way.
So take your time while you are journeying, travel light, be safe. For there will come a time when you finally arrive on those shores and you will be so glad you did not settle. You will be so glad you did not give up. You will be so glad you did not sync yourself to someone else’s pace and chose instead to anchor yourself in the steady rhythm of grace. And after everything you went through, you arrived where you needed to be on time, and everything will be fine. Not perfect, but fine. For every beautiful thing will happen in its TIME.

Working towards creating a life with certain set of disciplines, some are there & some are on it’s way. Let’s stay optimistic. This post is more of a reminder & checklist for myself.
1. Do one thing at a time & work towards it till it reaches it’s optimum level of success.
2. Go slow and do it deliberately.
3. Develop rituals towards a holistic living.
4. Designate time for certain things.
5. Learn to smile and serve others.
6. Make cleaning and cooking my kind of meditation.
7. Workout everyday & eat right. (Not because i love my abs, but because LOOKING LIKE THE BEST VERSION of myself is my priority for a happy confident look on my face).

There is no “right time”, there is just time & what you choose to do with it.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above).
DON’T COMPARE YOUR LIFE TO OTHERS. THERE’S NO COMPARISON BETWEEN THE SUN AND THE MOON, THEY SHINE WHEN IT’S THEIR TIME.
Stop lying yourself about “I don’t have the time”. Thinking you don’t have time prevents you from taking Chances. It allows you to put the important stuff off until you really don’t have time. If something is important to you, you should try to make time for it.
Just changing the way you think about things is beneficial. Merely thinking about something important that’s worth spending time on can encourage you to actually get it done.

My key to HAPPINESS; neither it’s a secret nor it’s a rocket science. I either keep myself productive or keep myself entertained, not a single minute left unused. Apart from these two, everything else is a waste of time in my eyes.
The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.

One thing which distinguishes every confident person from random crowd while we discuss SUCCESS: They don’t focus on weaknesses.
Most people think it’s worthwhile to put more time into strengthening their weaknesses those with confidence. However, understand that success comes with continuing to improve upon your strength. They are able to accept their own weaknesses gracefully and put more time and effort into endeavors where they know they’ll have more likelihood of success. A confident person maximizes his time and energy every way possible.

We always have a way or time to take care of important things/people in life. If it’s not important, there’s an excuse.
If you feel you need loads of time to accomplish a dream, focus on making it happen instead of giving up. Time will pass either ways.
