“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”

– Albert Einstein

The quote by Einstein is a thinker on how we operate ourselves. We have always been filling our thirst with questioning everything. It almost makes sense on the fact that curiosity has a reason to exist. So, proceeding to question this very quote, does curiosity have a reason…

Love, having no geography, knows no boundaries.

-Truman Capote

Language is an interesting invention, not for the help it provides in information exchange, spicing up gossip sessions or even for its use in storing data. It has the ability to express our “Emotions”, something so abstract that can’t be materialized easily, each language is born on the basis of sharing information. Not only…

“You can never counter the numbers, for the quality of the relations one experiences in their lifetime.“

Friends, we all have them and some of us get to experience the beautiful bond of friendship. Sometimes it is perfect but on occasions other than we get to learn so much about the connection and may even reinvent ourselves along with it. But amidst all this, real…

We live and die, what goes in between, who cares ! Enjoy the spontaneous that’s all that matters !

– Yours Truly

Homo sapiens are social animals. Don’t come at me for the animal part! It’s true. No matter how much we try to act different than those of our neighbors living in other ecosystems e.g., jungles, sea, oceans and sky. We all drop down to one central core, we are all alive. …

I am no good at goodbyes…

Good friends never say goodbye. They simply say “See you soon‘

-Unknown

I sat one evening, waiting for the time, looking anxious. Each passing second felt like a leaf falling, may be it was just me or perhaps it was actually the end of one of the best things of my life. And what was hurting me the most was the fact that I couldn’t express how I felt. Couldn’t do much but to just look.…

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language

And next year’s words await another voice.

And to make an end is to make a beginning.

– T.S. Eliot

Every christmas I feel an avalanche of emotions, memories and a lot of self introspection. The reason I guess being the end of the year, it forces me to look back on the timeline and realise that so much has happened. Especially the parts…

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.

– Arthur Schopenhauer

If our external life experiences and our superficial gains and losses don’t affect our happiness permanently, what does? If we’re always doomed to return to our baseline happiness, how do we raise that baseline?

Research suggests that about 50% of our baseline happiness is…

According to Madam Pomfrey, thoughts could leave deeper scars than almost anything else.

– J.K. Rowling

Gilbert’s research showed that whatever major life events happen to you — you buy a new sports car, you get fired from your job, your spouse cheats on you and leaves you, you win a paid vacation to Tahiti, whatever — your happiness will naturally return to an original baseline level…

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you have to try to be cool, you will never be cool. If you have to try to be happy, you will never be happy. Maybe the problem these days is people are just trying too hard.

Happiness, like other emotions, is not something you obtain, but rather something you inhabit. When you’re raging…

Change brings chaos around.

– Yours Truly

Don Draper of Mad Men fame stated in one of the series’ final episodes that the definition of happiness is “the moment before you need more happiness.” As cynical as it is, the brilliance of this line lies in the fact that we rarely notice happiness while we’re experiencing it, we only notice a lack of it once it’s gone. In psychology, the…

In quoting others, we cite ourselves.

– Julio Cortazar

Let’s talk about how we can use an understanding of our needs to resolve conflict.

We’re all insecure and ignorant at times and we all act out on our insecurities and ignorance in ways that hurt other people. This is called “being an asshole.” Some of us are especially experienced at being assholes in our relationships. It’s…

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

– Carl Gustav Jung

How do we go about becoming more aware of our emotions and motivations in our relationships? Here are a few places to start:

Ask Yourself “Why?” – I talked previously about asking “Why?” when observing other people’s behavior. Well, the same rule applies to you. And again,…

The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.

– Horace Walpole

The reason so much emphasis is put on logically dismantling limiting beliefs rather than dealing with the underlying emotions is that the latter can be quite complicated. But, dealing with the emotions is perhaps the best way to change your attitudes and behavior for the better. But before we…

To be able to express emotions and needs is true freedom and strength.

– Yours Truly

A lot of people, and especially a lot of men, are oblivious to their own emotional urges and what motivates them to behave in certain ways, particularly in emotionally charged situations. People who are unaware of their feelings will often feel out-of-control or helpless in these emotional situations,…

The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy, we can all sense a mysterious connection to each other.

– Meryl Streep

The key to deciphering emotional needs in others and in yourself is to not look at people’s words and actions but instead, look at their motivations. Someone may make fun of your shirt, but it could be for a variety of reasons. Maybe they feel…

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart

– Helen Keller

Everyone exhibits different levels of these emotional needs, and one’s emotional needs can change over time. Many in their early 20’s seek status and fun and partying. In their 30’s, they might prioritize connection and acceptance, and by the time they’re 40,…

But feelings can’t be ignored, no matter how unjust or ungrateful they seem.

– Anne Frank

A relationship with lost emotional needs or one which doesn’t meet them is as good as not be in the first place. Relationships have very vast and contrasting meaning to everyone but if it doesn’t feel content or its hollow then you have to look for answers, they might not be in your first sight…
