If you’re working on changing bad habits, unhealthy thought patterns, negative emotions, or toxic behaviors, know that you are healing a part of this world by healing yourself. Everyone around you will benefit and they will be served by your wholeness.
It’s hard sometimes and I know you want to quit, but this is the work that ultimately changes the world. SELF IMPROVEMENT also improves everything around you.
Some of the kindest souls I know have lived in a world that was not so kind to them. Some of the best human beings I know have been through so much at the hands of others. And they still love deeply. And they still care.
Sometimes, it’s the people who have been hurt the most who refuse to be hardened in this world, because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they have felt. If that isn’t something to be in awe of, I don’t know what is.
Everyday that you show up, even when it’s hard and when you don’t feel like it, you are making a difference. So, even on the hard days, even on the days where you’d like to hang back and not show up, remember: the world needs the magic inside of you. BE YOU SHAMELESSLY & BE AN AUTHENTIC VERSION OF YOURSELF.
Your work matters. Your consistency matters. Your ideas matters. Your presence matters. So, keep it up.
Be the one who nurtures and builds. Be the one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart. Be the one who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them.
Many of us have gotten so used to playing to the expectations of society, of our families, of our friends, and of our minds, that we don’t even allow ourselves to consider who we really are or what we really need. We ignore the calls of our hearts, giving our lives, instead, to the demands of an outside world built on fitting in. We can stop this, right now.
We can choose to listen to ourselves, to heed our deepest callings, whatever they are. We can give ourselves the freedom to be whoever the hell we want to be in this world. Right now, if we choose to. And why wouldn’t we?
CHOOSE TO BE YOU & CHOOSE YOURSELF EVERY POSSIBLE MOMENT.
If you have food in your fridge, clothes on your body, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you’re richer than 75% of the entire world.
If you have money in your wallet, a little change, and can go anywhere you want, you are among the top 18% of the world’s wealthy people.
If you are alive today with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million people who will not survive this week and die.
If you can actually ‘READ’ this message and understand it, you are more fortunate than the 3 billion people in the world who cannot see, cannot read or suffer mental retardation.
Life is not about complaining pain and sorrows. It’s about a thousand other reasons to be grateful and happy.

The more you act out what you wish to see in the world, the more you’ll inspire others to do the same. It really is that simple. If you want to change, you have to be the change that’s needed.
Make a list of things you believe in and don’t be afraid to stand up for what you’re passionate about.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Shared it because I find it funny. Watch it.)
Do not chase another human being. Instead, chase your curiosity. Chase your development and your goals. Chase your passion. Strive to work for something bigger than yourself. And instead of trying to convince someone that you fit within their world, build your own world.
Be the person who cares. Be the person who makes the effort. Be the person who loves without hesitation. Be the person who bares it all. Be the person who never shies away from the depth of their feeling or the intensity of their hope. Be the person who believes in the softness of the world. Be the person who believes in the goodness of other people. Be the person who believes in the beauty of being open and untethered and trusting. Be the person who takes the chance. Be the person who refuses to hide. Be the person who makes people feel seen. Be the person who shows up.
Trust me when I say be the person who cares. Because the world doesn’t need any more carelessness, any more disregard. Because there is nothing stronger than someone who continues to stay soft in a world that hasn’t always been kind to them.
We live in a world where 99.9% of private yacht, private jets, mansions are owned by men. But it’s always 99.9% women who upload those images in Instagram. Men who really own things don’t even want to come to picture, they enjoy staying random. Suddenly you see a stupid maze of nonsense just in these 3 lines.
While making money, you will come across million such examples. It’s people who achieved too little always speak more words than that’s necessary.
Money never comes from poor to rich or to the ones who work hard for it. Money comes to those who can manage it from those who can’t manage it.
(Few lines said by my bestfriend Demi’s dad i always remember.)
The more you act out what you wish to see in the world, the more you’ll inspire others to do the same. It really is that simple. If you want to change, you have to be the change that’s needed.
Make a list of things you believe in and don’t be afraid to stand up for what you’re passionate about. Be the change you wish to see in the world.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. I am a big fan of Key & Peele. This video is one of the best best ones. Watch it for a bit of fun.)
Stop worrying about other people understanding you. Get in touch with yourself instead. Focus on what makes you happy, what makes your soul feel at peace. You are your biggest commitment. So start loving your flaws, your awkwardness, your weirdness, your intensity, your vulnerability, your everything.
Life becomes so much more fulfilling when you are just simply yourself. The world keeps spinning whether people understand you or not. So why not make this next trip around the sun about you! BE YOU.
Love your fucking life. Take pictures of everything. Tell people you love them. Talk to random strangers. Do things that you’re scared to do. Fuck it, because so many of us die and no one remembers a thing we did. Take your life and make it the best story in the world.
It’s your time to cherish yourself. Don’t waste that shit.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. One of my favourite songs, so I had to share it. RIP to Takeoff who was shot dead in Houston before 2 days.)
While you may not have control over everything that happens in life, you do have control over your mindset and perspective. You can choose to think that you’re down on your luck, or you decide to see that you are being set-up for something extraordinary. You can choose to focus on all the chaos happening around you, or you decide to look for the good that is emerging. You can choose to live in a state of victimhood, or you can decide to live from the stance of a champion.
Make the decision that come what may, you are going to be good and beautiful and something magical. Not because the world’s problems finally faded away, but because you chose to start changing your perspective.
It takes courage to be yourself in a world where you are constantly told that who you are isn’t enough. Being yourself is the biggest gift you can offer yourself and others. Be brave enough to show the world who you are without an apology.
When I was fighting depression, I remember hearing this expression and not understanding it at first. When I decided to implement it in my life, a whole new world opened up for me. Change the negative, self-loathing thoughts to positive, self-affirming ones.
When you’re positive about yourself and everything around you; you begin to see the world in a different light. Your life today is what you make of it. Be mindful of the tone of your thoughts.
You can’t skip chapters, that’s not how life works. You have to read every line. You have to meet every character. You won’t enjoy all of it. Some chapters will make you cry for weeks. You will read things you don’t want to read. You will have moments when you don’t want the pages to end. But you have to keep going.
Stories keep the world revolving. Live yours, don’t miss out.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Time to clap for Liz Truss, the shortest serving prime minister in UK’s history. 6 weeks all it took to fuck the country’s economy & stock market, made it fall 310+ billion dollars. We also saw the lowest ever pound sterling to USD since 1985.)
If we want to see success in our lives, we must intentionally work towards what we’re purposed to do. We cannot get distracted by anything outside of our purpose or compromise our creativity, vision, or convictions because we believe that we’ll obtain more success or get more recognition or praise through our change in direction. It doesn’t work like that. Because, success is connected to purpose, not trends of popularity. One of the definitions of success is “the accomplishment of one’s goals”.
We have to keep OUR GOALS in front of us, not someone else’s. So, stay on track. Believe in yourself and your purpose.
Trust that as you stay faithful to what you know you ought to be doing, you will experience astronomical success that will leave you with a sense of fulfillment and will impact the world around you.
KINDNESS is one of the most underrated traits in the world. We focus so much on material things and attention, but forget that it is KINDNESS that brings us a fulfillment that warms our soul.
Take chances. Strive to be the person who does things differently, because beautiful things are disappearing each day, and you cannot live your life according to the rules of those who have created a dying world. You have to rewrite the rules. You have to strive for more. Just work to differentiate between the person you truly are, and the person the world has told you to be.
Figure out how you want to live your life on your own terms. Figure out how to take up space within your own definition of what it means to live fully, and wholly, and in pursuit of the things that truly move you, inspire you, and add a rich happiness to your life. Stand up for a future that is your own. This is how revolutions were started. This is how change occurs.
To work on yourself is the best thing you can do. Accept that you are not perfect, but you are enough.
And then start working on everything that destroys you. Your insecurities. Your ego. Your dark thoughts. You have to work on all. You will see, in the end you’re going to make peace with yourself.
And that’s the greatest thing in the world.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. The problem with our education system & also with the society is; WE THINK DISCUSSING ABOUT MONEY IS A TABOO, which is pure nonsense in my eyes. Watch this & get little information about what can be sorted in how long time. You can afford anything, but not everything.)
Love your fucking life. Take pictures of everything you find beautiful. Tell people you love them. Talk to random strangers. Do things that you’re scared to do. Fuck it, because so many of us die and no one remembers a thing we did.
Take your life and make it the best story in the world. Remain consistent with your way of living. Remain consistent with your desires & demands. Remain consistent with your goals & dreams. Don’t waste these precious things called “LIFE”.
It’s funny because when you were a child, you believe you can be anything you want to be, go wherever you want to go. There’s no limit to what you can dream. You expect the unexpected, you believe in magic, you believe in fairy tales, and you strongly believe in possibilities. Then you get older. That innocence is shattered. And somewhere along the way the reality of life gets in the way. You’re hit by the realization that you can’t be all you wanted to be. You might have to settle for a bit little bit less.
BE REAL. BE YOU. BE THE MOST AUTHENTIC VERSION OF YOURSELF. BECOME WHAT YOUR HEART PUSHES YOU TO BE. IN THIS WORLD OF INSTANT GRATIFICATION & UNREAL EXPECTATIONS, YOU BEING A REAL YOU IS THE BEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE TO YOURSELF & THE SOCIETY.
1. TO IMPROVE YOUR MOOD, EXERCISE. 2. TO THINK MORE CLEARLY, MEDITATE. 3. TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD, READ. 4. TO UNDERSTAND YOURSELF, WRITE. 5. TO HELP PEOPLE, HELP YOURSELF. 6. TO LEARN FASTER, HAVE FUN.
Don’t let this world make you bitter. Don’t let the actions of other people turn you cold on the inside. Certain things happen that hurt us, people come that leave us, and most of all there are moments when you’re bound to fall. Don’t let those things make you unkind. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to be sad. But it’s never okay to do other people wrong just because you were done wrong. We’re human. We break. We make mistakes. But don’t let pain and sadness run your life.
Wake up in the morning and do what you think is right. There are moments in your life where you feel like giving up and you can’t take it anymore. It’s okay. Breathe. Inhale. Exhale. I know you’re weak. But the things that show your weak side are also the same ones that make you stronger in the long run. It’s all about taking whatever life throws at you and learning from it.
If you’re working on changing bad habits, unhealthy thought patterns, negative emotions, or toxic behaviors, know that you are healing a part of this world by healing yourself. Everyone around you will benefit and they will be served by your wholeness. It’s hard sometimes and I know you want to quit, but this is the work that ultimately changes the world.
The world is filled with people who, no matter what you do, no matter what you try, will simply not like you. But the world is also filled with those who will love you fiercely. The ones who love you: they are YOUR PEOPLE.
Don’t waste your finite time and heart trying to convince the people who aren’t your people that you have value. They will miss it completely. They won’t buy what you are selling. Don’t try to convince them to walk your path with you because you will only waste your time and your emotional good health. You are not for them and they are not for you. You are not their cup of tea and they are not yours.
Politely wave them along and you move away as well. Seek to share your path with those who recognize and appreciate your gifts, who you are.
Be who you are. You are not everyone’s cup of tea and that is OK.
As you mature, the more you realize these 12 things:
1: No one has it all together. 2: Trusting your gut the first time is usually the best option. 3: The world is more gray than black and white. 4: You can’t control other people. 5: Holding grudges is not the best use of your time. 6: Being honest could save you a lot of time. 7: Childhood, although short, was very impactful. 8: Life is too short to stay in unhealthy relationships. 9: People tell you exactly who they are and it’s your job to listen. 10: Winning an argument is not as important as finding a solution. 11: Having a support system improves your mood and quality of life. 12: Everything and everyone is not worth your energy.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. I have heard enough of LOVE ABOVE MONEY or similar bullshits very often. Most people prefer not talking about MONEY as if it’s a taboo. On the other hand, i love it when someone says “I LOVE MONEY & I LOVE MAKING MONEY. ALL MY DEMANDS ARE FROM MYSELF”. First learn about it, then implement it. Investment is a sexy thing.)
Life doesn’t end at 25. Life doesn’t end at 30 or 40 either. Life doesn’t end at 65. It doesn’t matter how old you are. It doesn’t matter when you decide to get your high school degree or start a family. It doesn’t matter when you decide to go run a marathon or go travel the world. Life is not made up by numbers, age is just a number, and your age is not all that you are. You got time. Life doesn’t end until it ends.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. I am a big fan of entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. MCU phase-4 is amazing so far & Next phase-5 looks amazing. I had to share it.)
If anyone tells you that you can’t live the life you imagined, you don’t have to prove them wrong. Just keep on working your hardest and know in your heart that you can achieve it. Use their doubtful attitude as motivation.
You deserve all the happiness in the world. So pursue it with all the madness and passion in your soul. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
When I was fighting depression, I remember hearing this expression and not understanding it at first. When I decided to implement it in my life, a whole new world opened up for me. Change the negative, self-loathing thoughts to positive, self-affirming ones. When you’re positive about yourself and everything around you, you begin to see the world in a different light. Your life today is what you make of it.
Be mindful of the tone of your thoughts. Change your thoughts, change your life. (Not my words.)
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.
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 have bad days, but the darkness always brings light. You have the choice and the power to emerge from whatever darkness or hardship might be consuming you. Use your inner light to shine and light up the world. Sometimes it can be as simple as thinking happy thoughts or smiling when you don’t want to.
Light up the world with your smile even if you’re feeling down.
Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine. -BUDDHA.
Each one of us is born with a unique and remarkable gift that’s not only meant to change our lives but the greater world around us. I know this to be true because I’ve witnessed it throughout my life. Whatever your strengths are, they may be something that someone else wishes they had. So use your gifts wisely and you will be amazed how much you can inspire others.
Inspire someone today just by being yourself. The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud. Life is fun, let it be. BE YOU.
No matter what is going on in your world, no matter what happens today, do everything with a joyful heart. During the highs and lows, choose a stance of celebration. Every day, choose to find something to be thankful for. Decide to find the gold, and resolve to look for the happy moments.
If you can’t find anything to be joyful about, remember this: you are alive with a beating heart and air flowing through your lungs. This means your work here is not finished, and you haven’t reached your story’s end. You have a purpose; you have a dream that needs you to bring it to life. That is something to be joyful about and celebrate. DO EVERYTHING WITH A JOYFUL HEART.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Apparantly PROFESSIONAL MODEL BLOWER is a real thing, even though this video is hella funny. 2 minutes of pure fun. Don’t miss it.)
THE FIRST FACE, YOU SHOW TO THE WORLD. THE SECOND FACE, YOU SHOW TO YOUR CLOSE FRIENDS & FAMILY. THE THIRD FACE, YOU NEVER SHOW TO ANYONE. IT’S THE TRUEST REFLECTION OF WHO YOU ARE.
STRUGGLE IS “TO BE THE SIMILAR VERSION OF YOURSELF WITH ALL 3 FACES”.
Life doesn’t end at 25. Life doesn’t end at 27 or 30 either. Life doesn’t end at 35 or 45. Life doesn’t end at 65.
It doesn’t matter how old you are, when you decide to get your high school degree or start a family. It doesn’t matter when you decide to go run a marathon or go travel the world.
Life is not made up by numbers, age is, and your age is not all that you are. You got time. Life doesn’t end until it ends.

Intelligent people are attractive for different reasons. They believe in a good education. They remain consistent. They learn to speak in another language. & The most important; they know what’s going on in the world.
Their stories, their thoughts. The memories. The secrets that lay dormant in their head, waiting to be told. I find all of it so interesting. Cause I have been through a lot. And I am just fascinated by other’s struggles. Everyone has their own struggle. I love learning about someone’s life. How they came to be the person they are today, why they act or talk the way they do. It’s just very interesting.
You will live this life with that identity only once. Remain CONSISTENT on your path. Be the most authentic version of yourself, no matter what the world tells you to be.
If you have food in your fridge, clothes on your body, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you’re richer than 75% of the entire world.

It’s important to give back, because if you never stand up for what you believe in, nobody else is going to. What if you’re here on this earth to help make an important discovery, but you didn’t value your thoughts enough to do anything?
Stand up for the things you believe in, live a life that is meaningful to you, and make sure you can sleep at night knowing you’re doing your part to make this world a better place. There’s no time like the present.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. -MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
To work on yourself is the best thing you can do. Accept that you are not perfect, but you are enough. And then start working on everything that destroys you. Your insecurities, your ego, your dark thoughts. You will see, in the end you’re going to make peace with yourself. And that’s the greatest thing in the world.
Be a walking contradiction. Be strong and soft. Be deep and lighthearted. Be beautiful and intelligent. Be confident and humble. Be someone with a quick wit and a cheap sense of humor. Be content climbing a mountain and enjoying the sweetness of doing nothing.
The world may try and classify you as one thing because that is far easier to understand than a person who has a little bit everything in them. And you may feel misunderstood for a while, but just remember your people can only find you if you’re brave enough to be yourself. There are parts of you that you have yet to discover. There is greater love that you have yet to find. There are experiences that are far beyond your imagination. And it’s all waiting for you. Life is waiting for you. So set aside your expectations and go explore it.
When you learn how to communicate with others there’s no problem you can’t solve. It doesn’t mean you’ll always agree with other people and it certainly doesn’t mean that they will agree with you. But none of that matters if you possess the maturity and the patience to work through your differences. Think about how much more peace there would be on this planet if people would just talk through a problem instead of using violence & retaliation.
Do you have a friend or family member you have a really hard time getting through to? Maybe now is the time to try again. It never hurts to try.
You have to learn how to communicate if you want to get along in this world.
Be a walking contradiction. Be strong and soft. Be deep and lighthearted. Be beautiful and intelligent. Be confident and humble. Be someone with a quick wit and a cheap sense of humor. Be content climbing a mountain and enjoying the sweetness of doing nothing.

(This video got nothing to do with the post above. It’s a Punjabi song & i have to talk about it. There’s Tory Lanez, i knew there’s something about girls & heart break. This guy needs to leave that feelings train. Now the good part; Diljit Dosanjh, the best Punjabi singer of all time i guess & his presence/MC is out of this world.)🔥
More than anything, the world needs you to show up, strong and courageous, to lead them into something new. They may not know it. They may not see it. They may not understand it. But, deep within you, you see it and you recognize it. You don’t just see this present moment. But you see what could be. And, that’s a gift.
You see the pain, but you also see the healing. You see the problem, but you also see the solution. You see the lack, but you also see the provision. You see the the gap, but you also see the bridge. You know there’s a better tomorrow. So, lean into that. TRUST YOURSELF.
Don’t let a mad world tell you that success is anything other than a successful present moment. -Eckhart Tolle.
The world is not a game in which you lose if someone else wins. Another person’s success does not mean you have failed. Another person’s beauty does not mean you are ugly. Another person’s romance does not mean you are unloved. Another person’s happiness is not a shadow on yours.
The world trains us to think that the good things in life are like one piece of cake. We fight for it, the best person earns it, and everyone else is left to fight for scraps. But SUCCESS is really getting yourself into the kitchen and making your own damn dessert, and then sharing it with everyone you adore.
If you are intentional about practicing thankfulness every day, you will see the magic begin to take place in your life. You are going to see doors open that you didn’t think were possible. You are going to see opportunities come and find you that you didn’t know existed. And, you’re going to see your influence expand like never before.
Your thankfulness will position you in just the right place to be the recipient of extravagant grace, faithfulness, and goodness. Stay thankful. Practice gratitude. On the good days and the lows days, stay thankful. Everything in the created world is shifting in your favor. YOUR BEST DAYS ARE STILL AHEAD OF YOU.
The most important lesson I’ve learned over this past year is, don’t let anybody make you cruel. No matter how badly you want to give the world a taste of its own bitter medicine, it is never worth losing yourself.
I hope you find the kind of happiness that exists on your own terms. I hope you truly take the time to figure out what moves you, what encourages your soul, what you deeply crave from life, and I hope you have the courage to chase that. I hope you have the courage to believe that you are deserving of everything you desire, that you are capable and worthy of curating the kind of life for yourself that sparks something within you. You have a fire inside of you I hope you never let convenience, or comfort, or the easiness of standing still put it out.
I hope you show the world what you can do with all of that passion. I hope you show the world what you can do with all of that heart. At the end of the day, I hope you find what you’re looking for out there. I HOPE YOUR LIFE INSPIRES YOU. (Not my words.)
Whatever gifts you’ve been blessed with, use them to make the world a better place. Nobody else has what you have so apply your thoughts and ideas to help change the world. You never know how you can impact this world unless you believe in yourself and try to make a difference.
Take the causes you feel strongest about and do something to help or benefit them. You are here for a reason. Use your gifts.
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. They see the world differently.
You don’t deserve a point of view if the only thing you see is you. -PARAMORE.
We humans do not understand compassion. In each moment of our lives, we betray it. We know of its worth, yet in knowing we then attach to it a value, we guard the giving of it, believing it must be earned. Compassion is priceless in the truest sense of the world. It must be given freely.
Good health is something all the riches in the world can’t buy. Take good care of yourself and count your blessings. Be thankful you woke up today because not every day is guaranteed. I spent so long taking my god-given health for granted that I forgot how blessed I am to be alive today. Our body is our temple. Treat it like your sanctuary.
Do something good for your body today. Go for a run or a hike or take a yoga class. Remove all kinds of unhealthy food from your diet one by one. But most importantly, be grateful for the life you’re living today. THE GREATEST WEALTH IS HEALTH.
7.5 BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. AND YOU LET THE OPINION OF ONE PERSON SLOW DOWN YOUR GOOD ENERGY?
YOU’RE BETTER THAN THAT. BE YOU FEARLESSLY.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Watch it to know people from which career paths have highest number of sociopaths. Kinda funny, but true i guess.)
People think that being alone makes you lonely, but I don’t think that’s true. Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world.
We’re never doomed because we’re being reborn each day and life is filled with new opportunities. You have the freedom to wake up one day and decide to travel the world, change career paths, or reach out to a friend you haven’t spoken to in years. Every day is filled with new ideas and possibilities.
Do something unexpected and out of character today. Free yourself.
Each morning, we are born again. What we do today is what matters most. -BUDDHA.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Watch this video to understand little more about our stupid human mindset on hustle, goals & achieving things in short. Nobody understands it’s about being productive & how much value you are bringing. IF YOU WANT TO MOVE FAST, GO SLOW.)
By OVERTHINKING we often create problems that aren’t even there. Maybe you should stop overthinking so much and trust the way life happens. Things change. Every year you grow into someone else. Every year you have the opportunity to start over again and begin, to rise and face the world the way that you want to. Take this with you, you beautiful human being.
Don’t be afraid to fail. Don’t be afraid to fall. Don’t be afraid to get your heart broken. Don’t be afraid at all. The fear is in your head. The doubt is in your heart. And regret survives in the memory. That is, if you feed it, if you give into it. So please, before you go, remember overthinking is a self-inflicting act. It is the suicide, the doubt of self, the tragedy no one understands. It is instant death without lifting a single sword. So don’t give in to it, you know you’re stronger than that and capable of so much more.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the superficial beauty of our world. It’s incredible how you can meet someone so physically stunning and when you get to know them, they seem to lack basic kindness, communication skills & compassion for others. The moment someone isn’t kind to others, any physical beauty they might have had disappears. Real beauty comes from kindness, virtue, and compassion. Seeing that kind of beauty requires more than just a casual glance.
Take time to get to know people and then decide how beautiful they are; you will become more beautiful in the process.
Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are. -MARKUS ZUSAK.
(There are reasons i find my people beautiful beyond looks. If you are included in this “MY PEOPLE”, you are appreciated. And i owe you whole lotta love & respect for life.)
OPINION is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge is EMPATHY, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding.
When we choose to focus on what we have we are instantly happier people. Gratitude is said to be the emotion that is most connected with happiness. Even the wealthiest person in the world can think of things they don’t have. It’s not about accumulating more things; it’s about focusing on the joy and beauty in your life by focusing on what is great in your life.
Don’t decide happiness based on your material possessions, but on the love in your life today.
Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough. -OPRAH WINFREY.
You don’t have to move mountains. Simply fall in love with life. Be a tornado of happiness, gratitude and acceptance. You will change the world just by being a warm, kind hearted human being.
-Anita Krizzan.

While you may not have control over everything that happens in life, you do have control over your mindset and perspective.
You can choose to think that you’re down on your luck, or you decide to see that you are being set-up for something extraordinary.
You can choose to focus on all the chaos happening around you, or you decide to look for the good that is emerging.
You can choose to live in a state of victimhood, or you can decide to live from the stance of a champion.
Make the decision that come what may come, this new year is going to be good and beautiful and something magical, not because the world’s problems finally faded away, but because you chose to start changing your perspective.
ONLY YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR PERSPECTIVE. (Not my words.)
Trust that some of the best days of your life haven’t even happened yet. There are going to be nights that will stay burned beneath your eyelids, memories that dance underneath your skin. Life is going to exceed your expectations, it is going to astonish you with its timing. Remember you have not felt it all. The world still has so much left for you.
Tomorrow is an upgrade of today. Life is fun. Let it be.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Talking about Indian parents; i am a 6ft tall 78kilo kid to my Indian parents & I have a younger brother, both of us have engineering degrees. After graduating engineering, my first job was a software engineer. Then MBA. Now a data analytics professional since a while. Basically if you are an Indian kid, you don’t have many career options except Engineer or Doctor.)
Violence is the easy way out and it only leads to more violence. We need people in this world who are willing to find solutions through peace, through communication, honesty, and diplomacy. World peace may seem impossible, but it’s worth aiming for.
You don’t have to be a politician to stop wars and practice peace. Make sure every word you speak and every action is coming from a place of love.
If you and I are having a single thought of violence or hatred against anyone in the world at this moment, we are contributing to the wounding of the world. -DEEPAK CHOPRA.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Big fan of Neil deGrasse Tyson and this sketch is the funniest impersonation of him.)
Sincerity and faithfulness are two of the most fundamental values in life. Without these ideals the world loses its meaning. Every day I try my best to be genuine to myself, my friends & my family.
What are your values? Make sure your daily actions align with your morals and belief system. Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Watch it & don’t ask me why i like Key & Peele!)
Build someone up. Put their insecurities to sleep. Remind them they’re worthy. Tell them they’re incredible. Be a light in a too often dim world.
(This video got something to do with the post above. Big up to Naval Ravikant for his wise words. I hope you watch it & let’s see how much you can connect with this 51 seconds of wisdom.)
1. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present. 2. What others think of you is none of your business. 3. Time heals almost everything, give it time. 4. Don’t compare your life to others and don’t judge them. You have no idea what their journey is all about. 5. Stop thinking too much, it’s alright not to know the answers. Answers will come to you when you least expect it. 6. No one is in charge of your happiness, except you. 7. Smile. You don’t own all the problems in the world. 8. Understand the difference between WANT & NEED. Follow what you feel.
I’m a firm believer in leaving this world a better place for future generations. Being an optimistic person has presented me with so many extraordinary opportunities to give back, to volunteer, and to touch so many lives along the way. I’ve had the privilege of advocating for those dealing with bullying, eating disorders, and mental health issues. Everyone has causes close to their hearts, so whatever you’re passionate about, do something to make a difference. Do your part to make this world a better place.
I have been through enough ups & downs in my close to 30 life. I gave myself oppertunity to live/work/study in 4 cities/countries. I graduated engineering & MBA way back. The friends who entered my life those days are still intact, that’s my biggest flex. My address will change again next year. I will not say i enjoy travelling, everyone does. I will say, i relocate every 2-3 years. The more people i came in touch with the more i understood, we live in a world of WEAK MEN & GIRLS BUSY IN TIKTOK. Proper inconsistency at play. Still there’s hope to experience a world focused on growth, happiness & fulfillment. WISHING YOU ALL A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2022. LOVE AND RESPECT.
Education’s purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Big fan of Elon Musk & his opinions on shaping our world. In case you have enough time, try to watch full video. It’s pure fun & educational at the same time.)
I’ve been so blessed to be able to travel so much over these last few years. One of the most profound things I witnessed while traveling was seeing how much we take for granted. I’ve seen slums where people are walking around without shoes or jackets in the freezing cold. I’ve been to places where people are working so hard at such physically demanding jobs while making hardly any money. It taught me to value every person on this planet and to not take my job for granted, to not take my life for granted, to never take the joy i experience for granted.
Stay open to anything and take a day (or week) seeing a new part of the world. If you can’t afford to take time off work then visit a new neighborhood in your own town. One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things. Be grateful for everything you have. (Not my words.)
You can’t skip chapters, that’s not how life works. You have to read every line, meet every character. You won’t enjoy all of it. Hell, some chapters will make you cry for weeks. You will read things you don’t want to read, you will have moments when you don’t want the pages to end. But you have to keep going.
Stories keep the world revolving. Live your story, don’t miss out.
Now this paragraph is for my close friends. The question is; “Was i angry on Frank?” Answer is: No, i laughed at his tiny mind in November-2019. I was applying for PhD research scholar positions in Berlin. New city for me, Frank took me & few friends to an EXOTIC CAR MEET-UP, that too in a Dacia Duster. Not judging the car, any Dacia or VW is a good daily driver. But, I was laughing at the idea of going to an EXOTIC CAR MEET-UP in a DACIA DUSTER.😂
(No matter how much i praise a Tesla, i am a petrolhead by heart. I am a sucker for all AMG & BMW M-series cars, manual rear wheel drive please.)
Your body sheds your tired skin every twenty seven days. You were not made to hold your past within you. You were not made to carry it all on your back. You physically let go of every bad thing that has ever touched you, of every pair of foreign hands that unbuttoned your shirt but never your demons; you let go of every regret, of every insecurity. You are always gifted a clean slate.
Remember that your tongue is the strongest muscle in your body. You were made to speak, so speak loudly and communicate honestly about how you feel. Speak about what hurts you, about what has broken you. Speak about your story, share it with the world.
Letting go does not mean you stop caring. It means you stop trying to force others to.
Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly now, love mercy now, walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work. But neither are you free to abandon it.
In a generation of people who want to be heartless, and empty of feelings, then call it SAVAGE, it’ll be hard to be someone who is what a HUMAN should be. Do not become like the world.
Be loyal, be truthful, be consistent, be emotional, and be full of feelings. Be hungry for love, be thirsty for affection, and anything else human beings ought to desire. With time moving up, you will experience people who match your energy, enthusiasm & optimism.
Let others be foolish and cold. Don’t dim your light to become as dark as they are.
(This Instagram post got nothing to do with the post above. My love for G-Shock watches goes back to A-level/high school days. Not a secret i am a huge sneakerhead, but i love watches too. YES I have some 46 watches right now, 7 are Casio G-shock watches. And when my bestie DEMI sees this at evening, she can guess what to gift me during thanksgiving dinner.)😜
Be a fearless dreamer. The world is your oyster. Write down the top 5-10 things you want to accomplish in the next month. May it be goals, people or purpose, remain CONSISTENT in pursuing what you want. Never stop striving to be the best you can be!
We all have to start somewhere and we must remember that our journeys aren’t mapped out for us. Dreams and visions will evolve and change as you do.
Every dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. -HARRIET TUBMAN.
I love people who aren’t afraid to be their own weird and wonderfully imperfect self. These people make people happy, these people are so rare and special. We need more people like this in the world, and that’s why you shouldn’t ever wish to be anybody but your weird and wonderfully imperfect self.
IF SOMEONE asks, “Has the best moment of your life arrived yet?”
We may say that it will come very soon. But if we continue to live in the same way, it may never arrive. We have to transform this moment into the most wonderful moment, and we can do that by stoping, stopping running to the future, stopping worrying about the past, stopping accumulating so much.
You are a free person; you are alive. Open your eyes and enjoy the sunshine, the beautiful sky, ocean, nature, animals and the wonderful children around you. Breathing in and out consciously helps you become your best, calm, fresh, solid, clear, and free, able to enjoy the present moment as the best moment of your life.
Every Moment is different. No Moment stays forever. That is not scary or sad. That’s the beauty of it all. (Not my words).
(Post is over. This paragraph is about me. That WONDERFUL CHILDREN written above caught my attention after i scheduled this post. My heart goes weak towards babies, puppies & horses. Babies sooth my soul. Puppies/dogs make me a marathon runner every morning or evening. And horses are oversized puppies in my eyes. My friends say i am a kind human. I think my kindness is more of a fatherly instinct, there’s a huge provider mentality dad lives insides me who just wants to pamper kids, spoil his family & pet pets. And yes i am single & someday i want few dozen babies+puppies.😂)
Pay more attention to what stirs your heart. Pay attention to the music that makes you want to cry, or dance, or jump right out of your skin. Pay attention to what makes you happy truly happy, the kind of happy that drips from your bones, the kind of happy that gives you hope, and makes you believe that you have a reason to be here. Pay attention to the things that make you laugh, the things that make you smile. Really focus on figuring out what compels you. Really focus on discovering the aspects of the world that interest you and challenge you and make you want to learn and grow.
You have to pay attention, To the things that make you believe in being alive. To the people that support you and build you up and make you feel like you’re understood in a world that can sometimes feel like a haunted and hurtful place. You have to pay attention to the life you want to create for yourself. Because you are in charge of your own happiness. You are in charge of who you become. So, if something makes your soul feel like it is finally home, pay attention to it. Whether it is a job, or an idea, or a goal, or a person, or a place, just follow what makes you feel alive. Just make your life your own.
Beggar wants money right right now. Daily wage workers want money at the end of their workday, let’s say daily payments. Employees work because they want monthly salary. Businessman invests money & waits for few months to recover his investment with some profit on top. Share market investor invests & waits for years to see where his investment heading next.
Now, let’s talk about the fun part in it. There are only two winners in this money game. 1. The businessman who’s is building wealth while working for himself. 2. The stock market investor is building generational wealth. Here i am referring those who invest in hedge funds & multi-bagger stocks.
In other two cases of employees & begger, the person who wants money earliest is the poorest one. Actually in all 4 scenarios, the person who waits the longest for MONEY is also the RICHEST, he is the one who has the highest amount of PATIENCE. Never run behind EASY/QUICK MONEY, the outcome will be devastating. Urge towards EASY/QUICK MONEY is the reflection of cheap mindset, lack of knowledge & major character flaws in a person’s PERSONALITY. Learn about how MONEY works in our current world & have PATIENCE in learning. Same i can say for education, relationships & weightloss journey/fitness as well, your PATIENCE is the only determining factor. God has a perfect timing for everything; never early, never late. It takes a little patience and faith. But it’s worth the wait, always.
(This video got something to do with the post above. If you have patience, watch it. And the title of this video is: WHY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE AGGRESSIVELY PATIENT!.)
So many of the lessons I’ve learned have been about standing up for myself and setting boundaries. Most people in our current world are used to inconsistent approach & deceptive behaviour, which are both cheap & unacceptable in accordance to HUMAN standards. It’s really hard and sometimes even painful. In work environments and everyday life, be sure to set boundaries for those you’re spending time with. Make sure they’re aware with what you’re comfortable with and your limitations. Communicate with others to make sure you are honoring yourself. It’s hard, but it’s worth it. Always.
You don’t owe anybody the present other than yourself. Take time for you. Respect yourself and your privacy. Set boundaries. Set one boundary today in your professional or personal life. (Not my words). Life is fun, let it be.
(This 5 minutes video got nothing to do with the post above, It’s about world’s top economies in 2050. Watch it for little knowledge & fun. FYI my entire stock market investment portfolio is linked to number 2, 3 & 7 countries.)
Life changes. You lose love. You lose friends. You lose pieces of yourself that you never imagined would be gone. And then, without you even realizing it, these pieces come back. Love blooms inside you with lots of respect. Better friends come along. And a stronger, wiser you is staring back in the mirror. No matter how bad it gets, better days are always waiting, hoping you’ll make it there to accept the smiles and joy that they’re offering.
Someone once told me to always live for the little things in life. Live for 5am sunrises and 5pm sunsets where you’ll see colours in the sky that don’t usually belong. Live for road trips and bike rides with music in your ears and the wind in your hair. Live for days when you’re surrounded by your favourite people who make you realise that the world is not a cold, harsh place. Live for the little things because they will make you realise that this is what life is about, this is what it means to be alive. LIFE IS ALL ABOUT A CONSISTENT FLOW OF POSITIVE VIBE WHICH STARTS WITH YOU. (Not my words.)
We don’t change the world by trying to change everyone. We change the world by taking responsibility for our own thoughts, feelings, intentions and actions. Change is contagious and it begins with each one of us, taking PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
I am happy when I eat fresh fruit, when I burst out laughing, when I discover a new song, when I finish a good book, when I wake up and feel relaxed. I’m glad to have friends, family, a home, food when I’m hungry, hot water when I shower. I love being able to live and see the seasons change, to have gifts at christmas and at my birthday, to travel sometimes, to have a good education and a great access to culture. I’m flattered when people compliment me, when people smile at me, when people are polite to me.
There are so many things that make life so simple and easy and I will always think about them more than all the bad things that will happen to me. I do not have time to be sad every day and ungrateful. I have every reason in the world to be happy. Take life day by day and be grateful for the little things. Don’t get caught up in what you can’t control. Focus on the positive.
You don’t need money to help others, you need a clean heart with empathy. & Helping one person might not change the whole world, but it could change the world for one person.
