We have often heard people saying that one needs to live in the moment, but there aren’t many ways to…

Law of Attraction and Karma Goes Hand-in-hand?

I have always been a firm believer that one can only harvest crops based on the seeds that had been sowed. However, that’s not how our life works or I should say that’s not how our mind works as there is been some significance to the manifestation of a goal. Sometimes, karma makes us a scapegoat to ourselves by making us believe that we are the reason for all of our fortunes and misfortunes. Law…

One Should Work Hard Or Smart?

Once I was in a debate with the topic “Hard work vs smart work”, and that day since, I am yet to conclude which one’s better. Some people feel that hard work pays off more often than not on the other hand; there are a lot of believers who reckon that smart work is the way to go.

I have always heard about anger with a negative connotation while growing up. Quite a few people in this world tend to believe something like anger can’t be controlled, it comes to them naturally, but I feel that it’s not true at all. However, the important question is that if a person can control getting angry or not then one should always be able to avoid it. Let’s try and find an answer to the…

From my personal experience, a job finished at the right time tells a lot about a person’s integrity and…

Do Our Expectations Lead To Our Problems?

One of the most inherent characteristics of a human being is having expectations. It all starts from birth as a child expects that his parents will take care of him, parents expect their child to do well in life. However, for me, one of the most pertinent questions regarding expectations is that whether it is a boon or a bane. Expectations vs Reality I have always thought that we as a…

I Accept That I Don’t Know!

God’s green earth has an abundance of knowledge and culture which most people in this world don’t get exposed, still, a lot of people like me grow up with the insecurity of what will others think of me if I accept the fact that there are a plethora of things that I don’t know.

Long-term Drawbacks Of Making Comparisons

The basic attribute of human beings is to make comparisons which can be a broad spectrum ranging from petty things in life to our past. I believe that sometimes we try and compare ourselves with some other and it doesn’t matter we know that person or not. However, I reckon one can know a person to an unimaginable extent, but the circumstance of lives is always different which makes the comparison…
