Hi All !!
It's been a while since I wrote here. And today, I have nothing set in mind about what I am going to write, but I just felt like coming here... well! The interface looks different and we have AI all over here too. Good or bad? No idea! But it's like one of those things, you can love or hate it but you cannot ignore it !! Rather, it won't let you ignore it. Well, let's hope and wish that it is used only and only for positive things for the betterment of humanity and beyond. [ Fingers-crossed ]
Moving on...
365 days of Happiness. What I mean by it is. Why not everyday be the day when you wish Happy New Year? Because isn't every day and every moment a new beginning? I mean yeh it can get confusing if you consider every day to be a new year "literally," but what I mean is, do not wait for Day 1 of the year to be the day to start something. Let it be any day, let May 29 be the Day 1 or Sept 14 be the Day 1. Do not wait for the "official" New Year to start something new and afresh. Let every day be the day that you choose to start or restart your goals and desires.
To each one his/her own. For some, earning 1 million could be the goal, for some, losing 15 kgs weight, for some, spending more time with their loved ones and for some, being happier in general.
Let any day be the New Year of your goals. And pick from where you stopped, if this goal has been your many years' goal. Some times, these bite-sized steps can lead to a big meal. JUST KEEP GOING!
Yes! Everytime, make sure you do evaluate and re-evaluate and see if your goals still resonate with you or if it's just now your stubborn wish. Don't waste a single moment if this is just to boost your ego! But if it is to boost your spirit, for your soul's growth, for you heart's happiness, then GO-GO-GO !!
I know this post is quite random, but I just feel like it.
My 2024
Grateful for:
Many travels.
A house to live in.
Love and care from parents.
Love from dear ones.
Tiny step towards spirituality.
Turning another decade older... you know 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 mark. One of these lol
Realising how important health and fitness are.
Realising how many years the body fights against you to keep it healthy, if you push it under the bus [ not literally ].
Being able to learn more and more.
Having the strength to voice myself and stand up for my self.
Realising how strong you are when your deep-set values win EOD.
There's more...
Like I said, it's never too late. So write down right away the BEST things that happened to you in the past 12 months. And if you cant find any, then think about this... can you breathe? Did you have food to eat? Clothes to wear? Internet to do whatever you do? If yes, then start with being grateful for those... start small... I mean hey! You being able to breathe is no small thing, buddy!! It is big !! You exist because of that !! But I guess you know what I mean !!
So what else? Oh yeh! let's do this too...
Things that didn't work how I wanted:
Learn driving.
Learn swimming.
Earn.
Talk to God in knowingness [yeh! call me crazy!]
Read 12 new books. [May be I did, if we count the guidebooks of...].
Write !! [ I mean it's my love n passion and yet, such a BLOCK !! ]
Be disciplined with my food, fitness and spiritual practices.
Be more graceful.
Use words with caution... [Big one!! Honesty delivery should be done more compassionately]
There's more...
But hope you got the idea... Now see which of the "Didn't work out" really matter to you in the NOW.
If they do, then make specific achievable steps. And go-go-go!
If not, then chuck it and move on...
CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY. CHOOSE TO BE HONEST. CHOOSE TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF !!
What did I learn?
I learnt many things. But what I can think of right now to write here is:
VALUE YOURSELF, COZ IF YOU WON'T THEN HOW WILL OTHERS?
Some times we think so negatively about ourselves or our skills that we become our own bad advertisers. Always know, there is room for every kind of skill and of every level. You just need to be aware of yours and focus on YOUR STRENGTHS and talk about them instead of talking about YOUR Weaknesses!!
WORK ON YOUR WEAKNESSES IN PRIVATE !!
I'll take your leave now... I would appreciate it if you follow me here and write some comments so I can know what you like and what you don't.
Best wishes to everyone !!
Shikha :)
