even if they wronged you, and it's justified, punishment isn't the goal. it takes a strong person to let that intention go. people who are cruel may deserve it. but YOU are not cruel. it's not your job to behave in ways that are outside of your character. so stop putting in the extra work to act like them. you have better things to do. - renuka i. it would require a lot of effort on your part to hand down punishments to people who have hurt you. wouldn't you rather be spending your time with people who love you than plotting against people who don't? they don't get to have a reaction out of you. you are not a puppet. go enjoy your life. you deserve it. follow for more inspirational quotes @renukawrites check out my motivational books & products here

a reminder that the offers you get will not always match your worth. whether it be in love, life or career. be mindful of what you accept. - renuka i. just because it's offered doesn't mean you have to accept it. ask yourself if this is what you deserve. ask yourself if they deserve you. this is what it means to understand your value. follow for more inspirational quotes @renukawrites check out my motivational books & products here

only a few months left of 2021. do not let anyone waste your time. - renuka i. you deserve a life that you’re in love with, surrounded by people that you’re in love with - and who are in love with you! this doesn’t need to be a struggle. it’s actually simple. keep the right people, remove the rest. and you don’t have to wait to do it. follow @renukawrites on IG for more!

it has been a heartbreakingly beautiful year. I say this because, the difficulty was the spark that ignited so much courage, reflection, enlightenment, acceptance, humility, patience, forgiveness, softness, and trust. it created movement where there was once stillness. it created stillness where there was once chaos. it shook things up, it broke things down. it gave us an opportunity to start from scratch. to build once again, but this time, differently. pain is always followed by renewal. and for this journey, how can I not be grateful. - renuka i. reflecting on the year, and all it had to offer - especially the difficult parts. it felt like there were many, at times, one after another. unable to catch a breath in between. but we did it. we survived it. and I pray that for all of us, this coming year is one filled with the rewards that come from all that we’ve had to endure.

so, you're spending less time working, and more time doing the things you enjoy, with the people that you love - sounds like a successful life to me. - renuka i. change the definition of success for yourself. especially if it means being more present with your loves, and with yourself. no one else is going to create that balance for you. consider making a priority. follow @renukawrites on IG for daily inspiration!

sharing how we feel is an act of love TO OURSELVES.  it’s acknowledging that our feelings matter,  and are worth existing. - renuka i. we’re so used to expressing our emotions as a way to remedy our relationships, but forget that the release is also a form of self care. think about how it makes you feel when you don’t say anything. how it changes your mood. how distracting it becomes. this also goes for people who are in denial about how they feel. it doesn’t go away, it only impedes your concentration further. you owe it to yourself to get it off your chest. follow @renukawrites on IG for more!

remember the people who were there when you started. the success you're living in was laid on a foundation that wasn't built alone. people helped you, supported you, encouraged you, believed in you. those who came after, know an upgraded version of you. those who were there before, know the original blueprint. they know the edits, the re-edits. do not forget this. do not forget them. - renuka i. I’m loyal to the people who helped put me together, piece by piece.

if you’re the more sensitive one in the relationship, remember to be patient with the person you love. sharing their feelings means  they’re pushing themselves out of their comfort zone. communication is necessary in a partnership, yes. but maybe it’s a challenge for them as an individual. and if you’re the less sensitive one,  though your intention isn’t to hurt the other person, they don’t interpret your behaviour the same way you do. clarifying why you’re acting a certain way is a crucial step to maintaining harmony. - renuka i. do the work. it’s worth it.
