Dare to be Different!

What makes you different? What makes you unique? Are you realising your true potential?

If you are doing what everyone does, you reach where everyone reaches but if you wanna achieve something extraordinary you gotta dare to be your own self, experiment and have the guts to take risks in life and do things your way.

There's always the right way and the wrong way and then there's - your way!

Nobody knows about you better than what you do, so take the time to understand yourself, what makes you happy in life, what is that which defines you, what are your inner strengths, your weaknesses. We all are special in our own way, so we gotta discover that special characteristic we have within ourselves and build our future on it.

The world around us has a lot of mediocrity, don't get caught in that web, you are capable of achieving more in life, make use of your abilities to climb up onto the top. Edward Estlin Cummings, an American poet once said, "To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are never going to fight. Never stop fighting"

So, always remember that - You are Special! :)

We all have something we always wanted to do but a variety of reasons stopped you from doing it and they still hold you back even today - it is time to break open, time to go for it, nothing is ever too late than never doing it at all.

If you don't ask.....the answer is always no

If you don't go after what you want in life.....you'll never have it

If you don't step forward from where you are.....you'll remain in the same spot

Everyday is a new opportunity to grow beyond barriers and overcome your fears, we are definitely wiser than what we were last year and as each day passes it gives you a chance to become a better person, gain more knowledge, tread new paths and accept new challenges.

People around us speak a lot of things, we should learn to take in and absorb only that which makes sense and forget the rest. There will be many who discourage you, but you gotta backup yourself with more positivism and continue to focus on your goals. 

Dare to be different from others, overcome all the obstacles, challenges and limitations and move forward to the life you desire and deserve: a life of greater purpose, free of fear and full of achievements!!

Have a wonderful evening, All the best,

Take care :)

Gather Strength...

When did you realise how strong you really are? But the truth is you're definitely stronger than what you think you are!

On a day when you feel down and lost, when failure strikes you, things don't seem to be going the way they are supposed to, what you gonna do? We're told, 'don't lose hope' but when hope starts to fade, it shakes the foundations of your strengths and brings a shiver down your beliefs. But in spite of all that, you gotta refuse to give up. Like Bob Marley once said, it is true that we never know how strong we are until that day, that hour comes when being strong is the only option left to choose.

I've been trying for a professional job in the UK since the last one year, a couple of opportunities came close but slipped away, I wasn't lucky enough to get the job I am looking for, but I am still trying and keep telling myself that there'll be a rainbow after the rain.

The last step to reach success would be the most challenging and difficult one. For example, if someone is attempting to do 100 consecutive pushups for the first time in their life. The first 50 would be so easy, but the pain starts when you reach 90 and every single push up from then would be challenging and after the 98th one comes the most difficult situation - to go down and come up one more time needs you to gather all your strength, think of the most motivational moment/thought of your life and that'll take you through 99 - proves that mind is stronger than the body cause your body listens to your mind, so you gotta control and tame your mind.

And the 100th one you'd anyway do cause the joy to taste success makes you do it.

So, it is easy to be strong when everything is fine, it is a real test of strength when everything goes against you and still you have the courage to keep moving forward!

Gather your strengths, believe in yourself, you are a fighter who'll eventually be the winner!!!

Have a nice day, take care :)

Poem: One Wish

Poem: One Wish...

God appeared, he said,

Here's a wish for you,

Whisper in the air, it'll be yours...

Happiness, pleasures,

Riches and miracles,

Came running to me...

Without a doubt, I whispered,

O Lord, there isn't anything,

More fulfilling than you...

I ask only for you,

Come, live in me,

Use me to change the world...

Benefits of Failure...

Yes, she talks about the benefits failure brings! Some people don't need an introduction, their words and their works have already influenced the world! She even shares her rags to riches story in an emotional speech!

Yes, she is J K Rowling and I am talking about her commencement speech at Harvard University.

Her speech is emotional, humorous and inspiring!

About benefits of failure, she says:

"So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged. I was set free, because my greatest fear had already been realised, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life."

"You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default."

Here is the full transcript of her speech --> http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2008/06/text-of-j-k-rowling-speech/

She signs off her speech with these lines: As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.

Never give up and never be afraid to try.

Have a great evening, take care :)
