Never be afraid of


Never be afraid of saying no when you know "this is not what I want to do";
Never be afraid of saying yes when you are sure of what you are getting into;
Never be afraid of walking alone when you know you are on the right path and not many have the courage to join you;
Never be afraid of standing alone for what you believe in, for not everyone can stand for themselves, or others;
Never be afraid of giving your hand to someone who needs your support even if they don’t ask or deserve it;
Never be afraid of saying “yes I did it” when you know what you did was right;
Never be afraid of saying “I was wrong” when you know that you did go wrong this time;
Never be afraid of saying thank you to something which would seem like your right and only natural that people are doing it for you;
Never be afraid of saying sorry when you feel that from your heart;
Never be afraid to say “I love you” to all you truly love;
Never be afraid to fall in love just because there could be a heart break in the end;
Never be afraid to lose even if you know that at the onset itself;
Never keep yourself from playing just because there is a 50% chance of losing;
Never be afraid to shed a tear for something that touches your heart or has hurt you;
Never be afraid of being alone for you always have your company;
Never be afraid of being the first one to try something new;
Never be afraid of falling but don’t forget to get up and start running again for if you don’t get up then you have truly fallen;
Never be afraid of going wrong because there is always a first time;
Never, never, never give up;
Be the miracle

Always be happy!

One Day

It’s a new day but how is it different from what it was yesterday or tomorrow? May be not. It’s only change in date and nothing else. But I am amazed at the power of any new day. It’s the same day…same 24 hours….same morning and night…yet for every person the value it holds is so different. The same day means achievement for some; despair for others; new beginning for some and ending of an era for some. …it is happiness and togetherness for many and separation and hurt for others. The beauty of each day however is the hope that it brings. It turns the tides for all of us. It gives all of us the power to make it different from what it was yesterday. But I wonder how many of us realize this power to change within themselves. This supremacy that has been bestowed on us by nature to shape our today is something that needs to be realized by us. There are so many living things on this earth but we humans are the only ones who can exercise this power. I was reading in an article yesterday

I have a dream....

I often wonder would Wordsworth have written a “Daffodils” or Frost a “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening” or Tagore his numerous works if they were living in our times. Armed with gadgets, latest apps and technology would they have felt bored enough to actually step out to experience what they did and more so over physically written it down? I have my doubts, serious ones.  Where is the time to be just aimless and still? We are so busy filling up that unforgiving one minute with myriad activities that we most of the times forget living? Perhaps until and unless dreaming shows some extraordinary gains to make it into our daily ‘to do’ list we would never have time for that. It needs to be added as a subject in the school curriculum for parents to wake up to its importance. The stillness of a cat; flowing of the river; random growing of the wild flowers along the road less taken; sudden showers in midst of nowhere; a smile from a total stranger walking on the road etc. are

Invictus

If you want to enjoy what you have, never look at people above you, look at people below. If you want to count your blessings look at the under-privileged and not the privileged. If you want to succeed look at your own failures to learn from them and not at successes achieved by others. If you want to be loved never look for people who could love you, look for people whom you can love. If you want to be happy never look at what you don't have, cherish what you have. If you want to spread peace and joy, just go ahead and do it. You will be at peace and full of joy. Invictus " is a short Victorian Poem by the English  poet William Ernest Henley (1849–1903). At the age of 12, Henley fell victim to tuberculosis of the bone. A few years later, the disease progressed to his foot, and physicians announced that the only way to save his life was to amputate directly below the knee. It was amputated when he was 17. Stoicism inspired him to write this poem. Despite his disabilit
