Let's Roll...

Hey Fellas,

Happy New Year :) Let's start this year with some positiveness. Let's help ourselves to be lesser discontent. Here is something for self-love and self-discovery. 

As this year springs brace yourselves for another ride around the Sun, which will nothing be short of a roller-coaster, in my opinion. Why not it be? Life never assures a smooth and dull journey it has its way of trading with each one of us.

Mark Twain once quoted, "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first."

 Do you perceive how tiny you are in this cosmos? Try stargazing, I repeat. I have done it, and I have changed my way of looking at everything around me. I have worked on this part of my consciousness to understand how less miserable one can be to thyself. Gratefulness has helped me rewire my subconscious mind. 

I vaguely remember reading somewhere, "People may say and do many things, they will do what they know best, but will I allow myself to be tangled up in that, or will I go where I want to go?" I was never able to perceive this version of me earlier, but then here I am.If you could also perceive this, this will only help with your mental health.

The most significant aspect of life is to be kind and others will automatically get those positive vibes from you. Everyone deserves respect from a naughty 4-year-old to an angry teenager to a middle-aged person to an old sober/grumpy person.

Don't be a bad-spirited person. How hard is it to be a little gentle in this world? Try and you won't regret it. The simplest life hack for me and anyone is not to be perfect all the while. Besides, you live only in the moment called "Now" everything else is either imaginary or bygone. 

My aunt once told me about self-love. Memories of that conversation are still vivid. I am going to bestow that golden piece here:
 "Do you know what is the lesson learned the hardest way? Learn to draw boundaries. At some point, you need to draw a line saying who is inside and who is not. You can't keep everyone happy and it is not your job to keep everyone happy. However, you can always be nicer to people. Your job is to keep yourself happy first, learn to love yourself first before you love someone. Learn to give the best to yourself before you try to give the best to someone. "

This may conflict with the idea of being nice/kind to everyone but primarily be nice to yourself first. There is a proverb that goes something like this - You can't give what you don't have. So if you can't love yourself, you can't love others. 

Start your day with appreciation and fresh spirits. Let the universe take charge of everything else. You don't need to be perfect to be good, remember that. The only reassurance you need is of your own.

Last but not least "It's fine, it is going to be alright", this is the most persisting illusion called reality. Practice gratitude and feel grateful.


Happy Year Ahead :)

Love,
V
