You Matter





The Indestructible truth of oneself doesn't pertain to a reason of doubt, instead, it's the perception of the mirrored image of societal norms placed in your head. The people surround you will make you less than you what you really are. But, it's okay. In your heart, deep down there, you know who you are. 

Whatever people perceive you to be is not understood, nor should it be encouraged at any given point. All that needs to be done is delving into the imagination of the reality that should be created. Imagination is not the virtual reality of the mind. It can be created at some point in your life. You just need to put your mind and soul into it. 

Don't let people make you feel less. You are more than what they perceive you to be. Be proud of who you are. It might leave you alone at the end of your life but that's okay. 

Out of all the greatest people that lived in the realms of this earth were hardly people who had many people around them to make merry. They have been alone, shed a lot of tears and laughed out victorious cheers.They have got to places. You will too. Only if you let yourself do the needful. 

Be not weary, be your own strength, your own shield and your own comfort. Because in the end, you matter. 

Does It All Make Sense?




When you work a 9-5 job for a person that negates inspiration & motivation out of the equation, it exhausts you with mental transgression. Mental transgression that makes you believe that the purpose of your work means nothing. It changes nothing. It merely means that what you do is forgotten. There is no appreciation. No rightful remuneration. Instead, it's just a continuous vicious cycle that pulls you into a twist of negative emotions. Negative emotions that bury your passion and make way to a mind full of tension.

Why, oh why, is the world this way?

My point is, how do incompetent people stay ahead of the game by sucking out the competency of learned people? That's exactly how I feel at this point in time. Like my rights have been torn off my soul. My passion wrinkled into nothingness. It's just an empty space.

I wonder. Is there really justice? Are you fairly rewarded for your talents or is the world going to misuse it until you kick the bucket. If life continues that way, does it make sense? When is it that honest work will be fairly rewarded & appreciated? From what I see, to get up that cozy ladder, you just need to talk the talk. So what's the point of theoretical or practical knowledge? Apparently all you need is the power of the gap. That's good enough. Fear not. If you don't really know how to walk the walk. You still have hope.

Life is unfair isn't it? The world is unfair.

But then again, I like to hope that maybe, just maybe, some fine day, the hard workers will be ground breakers. Ground breakers that are risk takers. Risk takers that don't give up, give in, or walk away without a fight.

A New Era For Dreamsera



With 2016 jack-in-the-boxing right at your face, you are bound to figure out that changes come about in different identities. Everyone harps on about New Year’s resolutions and all that jazz. The thing is, it's always a repetitive cycle isn't it? Let's lose weight, drink less, smoke less, save more, travel more...the list goes on. As we tread through the first few months of the year, we stick to our so-called 'resolutions' and then it's forgotten. The re-visit is made in the following year. All that harping for nothing I suppose. I am guilty as charged for initiating this very same notion.

Personally, I didn't make any 2016 new year's resolutions thus far. Why, you may wonder. Well, I just want to experience life just as it is. For me, like every other year, 2015 had its ups and downs. It threw me off guard and reeled me back into reality. The reality of understanding that every experience, however mind boggling or simple it maybe, taught me more than I could ask for. The gift of learning from every experience is something I am very much grateful for.

You are bound to experience things on-the-go, each day, every day. Sometimes, simply having prior experiences makes you understand that, experiences doesn't necessarily murder you in your soul, instead, it helps you realize that your capacity as a human being, on this beautifully sculpted planet is a constant expansive force. The force is what lies within you. But, unlocking that hidden force, through the mysteries of your capabilities is what's left in your hands. Enlightening the bones in your soul is your responsibility.

As a starting point, try to understand your inner-most identity. Your inner-most beauty, your destructive deity. This is what you are made of. And then comes along your weaving dreams. Always on the go, never ready to say no. It's a constant hypothetical world of your mind's reality for yourself. For most people, dreams hibernate in their minds. Creating illusions with delusions. What’s the point in that, really?

These dreams can be real, you know? You can be a dreamer. A dreamer that becomes a reaper- creating the density in your destiny.

It's a new era for Dreamsera - my very own place to weave a box full of dreams into a mission. A mission with a profound vision. A leap of faith, and a heart-felt state, is all it takes, to create my very own graceful place.  

Peace Resonate


Looking at pain-stricken situations taking place around the world, I wonder, how did we, as human beings go wrong in understanding the basic concept of peace. Everyone keeps sharing a stream of posts on peace and what it should be on Facebook and other social media sites, but, is it something we have an in-depth understanding of? Interestingly, the true meaning of peace is something I discovered recently. We understand the fundamentals of it, but our human tendencies go against it consciously or sub-consciously. That's in our very nature isn't it? Unless, we make a conscious effort, we do not budge or nudge from the harsh reality of it. Negative emotions take over - be it anger, hate, revenge, spitefulness, bitterness. And, if you take a closer look, negative emotions are far more contagious than the positive emotions. It's a never-ending disease. With all this negativity, life goes on for us, just as it is.

What I have learnt is that peace will only give substantial meaning to your life, as well as the world around you, if you apply it to your day to day routine. It begins and ends with you. So, what does this really mean? It means that no matter who you meet or what the circumstances maybe, regardless of how nasty you feel at the end of it all, you just make peace with the respective person or situation. Be it friends, family, relationships, colleagues - you name it, that's where you strive to achieve peace. Translating yourself in to a person of this nature will inspire people around you to be more peaceful as well.

Just imagine yourself in a situation where you are in a bad place with an important acquaintance who has indeed been a value addition in your life. Baseless disagreements take place, things head in the wrong direction and that's the end of it. But, in reality it didn't have to be that way right?

You could have accepted the reality of what really took place, made yourself understand the situation rationally and respected the person regardless of his/her differences. It might mean you have to be the bigger person and forgive them for something they said or did, or it might be the polar opposite you'd experience but, human beings are flawed creatures and they are bound to hurt you or let you down at some point in your life. It's a tough call for most of us, but if we don't try our level best to do this, it's always going to be chaotic in our biotics.

If we strive to be more peaceful citizens of this world, we'd be more focused without a compass, less anxious amidst our tampers, compassionate amongst aggravations. We'd be less stressed with no mess, productive amidst the quandaries, creative peace narratives and most importantly, we'd have more grey in our brain, that won't stain our pain.

More grey matter in our brains will certainly work pretty well for all of us.

Why? You may wonder.

Did you know that by obtaining a state of inner peace away from the world around us can help improve our cognition, emotional and immune responses eventually leading to positive effects on breathing and cardiorespitory control. Higher volumes of grey matter will result in positive emotions, emotional stability, and more mindful behavior including heightened focus during day-to-day living.

So how does this tie up to the idea of peace? I'd tell you how I go about it in one word.

Meditate.

This can mean different things to different people. It can mean yoga, prayer or some form of mind exercise to different people depending on their disposition. To me meditating is clearing out the junk that has caused turbulence in my mind.

Uncluttering the clutter.

Sometimes, all I need is a cup of coffee, a notepad, a pen and the picturesque blue ocean. That's it. To find that peace within yourself, you must first find yourself. And, that's exactly what I did. There is no looking back or backing down from this discovery. It's an addiction to life-long happiness by simply unburdening my burdens. Throwing away the junk into a trunk.

Who wouldn't want that?

Always remember, please remember, that life is too short for us to consume our negativity when we are left to conquer positivity. We don't have to be inclined to decline what will give us a peace of mind.

Be Your Hero – Your Very Own Peace Resonate.


 


Life Analogy


In this chaotic world that doesn’t make sense to me, discovering where I fit in is one of the toughest puzzles that I am yet to solve. Leave alone making decisions, but initiating the very same decisions is an exhausting process that can leave you lying in realms of hopelessness. It feels as if you can never recover from this cell you place yourself in.

We all love to do things in life, numerous things but it is a basic human characteristic to stay in our comfort zone. But, I wonder, when you stay in that comfort zone, do you tend to look back at your life and regret not doing what you wanted to do in the first place? The emotions that surround it probably seem surreal. At that point in time, I’ll probably want to invent my very own time machine, go back in time and focus on working towards my happiness. ‘My happiness’ being key. I am still 27 so I am presuming that I still have time on my hands to re-invent my purpose and figure out where I fit in.

Oh, the exhaustion!

Where I come from, everyone seems to be pretty comfortable warming up their chairs in their very own comfort zone. Be it genes or the type of people I have surrounded myself with, my brain is wired differently. Differently, yes. In what sense, you may wonder. My perception of the world can seem a bit warped compared to the normal thinking folk.

Oh well. Chaotic world is what I see.

 People are too busy defining success in terms of money and wealth. The very same man made things that have progressed from the so called barter system. I would have preferred things to be that way. People seemed much closer to nature and they focused on the simplistic things in life.

What do they say? Economic growth? Development?

 Money plays a huge part in all of this. Funny isn’t it? These man made paper notes are eating into our world. It’s defining relationships and it’s dictating how things work, anywhere and everywhere. It’s drawing lines between the rich and poor when all of us are human beings. This is what exhausts us. Don’t get me wrong. Money has done us all a huge favor but with everything, there are those pros and cons. So, the cons of money are swept under a rug, most of the time at least. It isn’t about good virtue or moral values above the rest anymore. It’s about materialism. Placing importance on an artificial world we’ve created. Constantly trying to make it close to perfect by man-made objects.

Sometimes I wish I could just move into a wilderness in a distant place and live my life. Who knows, maybe I would, someday. I’ll wake up one morning and leave everything behind me. Start afresh, closer to nature. The very same things that were in existence before all of our man-made objects came into play.

When I am feeling down, the sea is what calms me. The big, blue sea. The sound of the waves makes me feel like my worries are washed away. It’s a beautiful feeling and if you think the way I do, you are bound to know what I am talking about.

It’s nice isn’t it? Imagine waking up to that every day of your life? Life would certainly be a blissful reality.

Soulful Beauty




Beauty is a profound quality. Something each and everyone of us possess. It is not merely something pleasing to the eye. Instead, it's a profound touch to the soul.

Not a tickle.

A strong touch that makes us want to seek more. More than what meets the eye.

It's looking into the depths of things that have traveled a strenuous path, and are here in all its glory.

Blossoming towards the rays of the sun and in sweet slumber, it glorifies the moonlit sky.

It is the beauty of simplistic things in life that keep us longing for more.

You just need to feel the hunger in your soul, the hunger to inject it into your life.

A book perhaps or the sound of the wind before the rain? The water trinkets that jewel your window pane?

We are surrounded by the beauty of life.

The mere fact that it's there, longing to seep it into the depths of your soul; A soul that longs for the beauty of life.

Ticking Clock


The grey skies emit a sadness that is felt by people who lose special entities that leave this earth. It happens all over the world, to many that we don't know of.

Today, however, I know someone who lost her brother. The impact is far greater if you are familiar with them. Processing takes time, yes. But, when reality hits, it hits hard.

Whenever I hear something of this nature, I pray for healing for their loved ones. I pray that they will cherish every moment they lived and hope they transcend to an afterlife paradise.

Recovering takes time. Takes eons maybe. But, it has to happen because life continues. Despite of who or what you lose, it goes on. And, you have to hold on tight, hoping that time would pave the way to heal.

It doesn't mean you forget. The memory remains. It might even haunt you.

This is learning for all creatures great and small. It's a time to cherish your loved ones and spend as much time with them. Because, life does not wait for you. You have it here and now.

Live with undying love in your heart. Gush out hate, because hate will want you to despise your life. What's the point in that?

Appreciate people for who they are and who they want to be. Tell someone you love them wholeheartedly. Make someone's day by performing little acts of kindness. Amidst all of this, make things right if you have done things wrong.

Touch life, breathe life and feel life....

...because life, my dear, is a ticking clock that doesn't stop.

Surviving Hurt





Facing an insurmountable amount of hurt feelings is a tough task. A task that consumes energy from within your heart and soul.

A wound to the heart, an ache to the soul. Suppressed within, you must survive. You must survive, until you can open your wings and fly in the realms of a different destination. A destination that will embrace you with open arms. A safe haven of love and enlightenment.

Getting there is the hard part isn't it? When you break, you fall right down. You are shattered. With a mustard seed of hope, you pick up the pieces, to find renewed hope. Hope in not going back there again. Not being broken again. We all want that don't we? It's human nature. But, do we really get there?

I wonder.

Is this how it works for everyone? I guess so. There is no defined coping mechanism. You just accept it, just the way it is.

If there is one thing I’ve learnt about hurt. Face it head on, and let go. Don’t cling on to things that bring you down. You are better than that aren’t you?

Forgive if you have to. Cry if you want to. Think of what you love to do the most and how you handle the kind of disappointment that comes along with it. Think of all the people who are in far worse situations than you are.

When you get through the rough patches, you’ll be standing tall and strong.

Hurt is temporary. Scars remain, yes.

You are a beautiful creature, you.

Love yourself truly, completely and wholeheartedly. Because, at the end of your life, if you remain true to yourself, life will remain true to you.

Better When It's Bitter

Then you meet the kind of people that touch your life in a different sense altogether. They give you perspectives of things you probably didn't know and help you learn things to make you better. Better than you already are. They remain in some form in your life. Be it as a companion, as friend, a long lost family member or any other form. Just that when they walk into your life, and choose to see you for who you truly are, accepting you just that way, that's when you know they are special entities.

The kind that makes life better when it's bitter. I have understood the importance of valuing relationships for what they are because it certainly is a blessing in disguise. The kind that lightens your spirit, when things are in shambles.

If you are reading this today, you are truly appreciated. For the love, care and support I have received from you, this is my heartfelt thank you. Just so you know, I will always have your back, if things fall apart for you. Just remember - I love you. I care about you and I accept you, just as you are. There is no modification needed because, what we have, you and I, is a special kind of connection that I value close to my soul. You make life simple, when life throws dimples.

Living 'It' Up


Throughout our lives, we are 'apparently' supposed to live up to certain expectations. Expectations from family, friends, mentors and most importantly ourselves. Expectations that are derived through either societal norms, cultural backgrounds or other external influencers.

For instance, if you are a girl, you are supposed to act like one. You are supposed to color inside the lines and make sure that you that are indeed, the typical definition of a girl. Sometimes what you want or need does not matter. You just need to suppress feelings of your inner identity and be the person others expect you to be. If you don't, then you are simply a rebel. A rebel that has no control over who they are and what they do. Sad reality isn't it? Human beings seem backward that way. They'd much rather conform to social norms.

Each of us have our very own blueprint - an identity that makes us unique. We each have our own calling - a calling that is sometimes unseen or unheard.

Coming to think of it, we have become robotic haven't we? Going through life for the sake of it.

Do we ask ourselves, 'What purpose do I serve here?', 'What is my value addition to the human race?', 'Have I reached that point in my life where I can say, I just love life, I cannot do without it?'....It is possibly a small fraction of people who'd feel positively about these thoughts.

So ask yourself, are you willing to travel through the depths of your soul to find out what will make you better than you already are?

A thought that always crosses my mind when I wake up every morning is the thought of not reaching my fullest potential, not realizing my utmost dreams and not giving life all I have got.

It scares me.

And, because of that I am on a quest to look for answers. Answers to an infinite number of questions. If you stop questioning life, you are certainly not living it. There may not be right or wrong answers but the most important thing is to keep looking. Keep searching for what you believe in.

Once you do, remember the 4A's;

 'Accept' yourself for who you truly are.

 'Act' on who you want to be.

 'Analyze' on how you can improve yourself.

 'Align' yourself to enjoy an improved version of yourself.

Why? Because, you can never stop improving yourself. The moment you stop doing that is when you stop trying. Would you really want to be one of those people who'll continue dying without trying?

I don't think so.

Life is a beautiful experience. An experience that can and should be realized.

Experience the tasteful blissfulness. Feel the gain in your pain. Face the wage in your rage.

And, most importantly be that type of person who would die in their grave with a smile on their face.
