Enough of Covid yet? The past 15 months have brought all of us some #tears and #laughter, #confusion and #clarity, #struggles and #ease, and millions have witnessed #losses (and quite a few had decent gains). Despite difficulties, somehow we still find reasons to smile. Behind our occasional laughter is where we hide our worries and heartaches. We learned the true meaning of #care and #duty. We witnessed the level of #responsibilities our leaders possess. We have learned so much but still at a loss. This pandemic has pounded and crushed us to the core, revealing our truest self. If there is one thing we learned from this pandemic, it would be how to value life. But there's one thing. As much as it is #natural and very human to be scared for our own life and for the lives of the people we love, don't set aside the value of #humanity. I am grateful that the very people I care about are all safe and healthy (knock on wood). But it's not true for everyone and it's just unfortunate. Discrimination has been rampant to people whose family members were tested positive, and as much as it's not right, we can't blame anyone. They fear for their lives too..... A couple of days back, I had an odd experience. I met a neighbor whose husband is covid positive while buying veggies. I greeted her and asked how she was (as I always do with everyone), and to my surprise, she was very dismissive and rude (with matching hand gestures saying "stay away from me" or something). And I can't help but ask myself, am I the one having the covid patient at home? I know it doesn't sound right, but so was her discriminative reaction. Before covid, and after it gets over, don't forget, we are all human beings and we will continue to be that way until we depart from this world. But being human is easy, being #humane is hard. Keep humanity alive! https://www.instagram.com/p/COMjBD9je45/?igshid=5l126o7t4t2m

Suffering from low self-esteem? The only thing that's stopping you from #achieving your #goal is you! As you keep yourself busy sulking, filling your head with self-doubt and #insecurities, some people around you will fight just to have what you have (or what you can do). Don't #SelfReject! You have got to start somewhere so #startnow! You have got to start someday, so #doitnow! You will not gain that much-needed confidence if you will not test the waters. Trying and failing is far better than #regrets. Save yourself from the future "what I could have" and "what I should have". https://www.instagram.com/p/COJzDNOjCY7/?igshid=dz0t6wmqw7sd

#StruggleIsReal, but so is peace of mind. Give yourself time to #relax this weekend, #youvegotthis. Have a great weekend everyone! https://www.instagram.com/p/CNejs3ADaWP/?igshid=461ocndr9s6z

Do you learn anything by watching? Observation is a powerful tool for learning. Closely watching things unfold, events to pass; negotiations to finish; debates to conclude; fightings to cease, and relationships to end. Watching with neutrality to be specific, can give us maximum gain in terms of perspective. When we watch, we use our eyes physically, but the openness of our minds rule in the process. If we allow our pre-conceived ideas to dominate, we will learn nothing, question everything, and insist on our distorted concept of reality. Ever heard that of the saying "The eyes are useless when the mind is blind?" That's the best way to say it! So, do you watch with your eyes and mind open? #learnbywatching #eyesareuseless #whenthemindisblind #watchwithopenmind #loserhepreconceivedideas #watchwithneutrality #franklyspeaking #contentwriting #writingcontent #contentcreation #socialmediamgmt https://www.instagram.com/p/CL_yH1QDeP2/?igshid=p5epkvzu90wo

How focused are you? It is very easy to get sidetracked, with all the noise around us, with all the challenges to overcome, with all the emotional and psychological distractions popping left and right, I get it! It is a great battle to remain positive whilst you are on the verge of collapse, but let me ask you a question, have you thought of all the things you will lose and all the things you will gain if you decided to retreat (or keep going)? Never let go of that enthusiasm un you! If you let go, maybe you would have wasted time, and you can continue to waste all the time left in you, and probably you'll enjoy it! Hey, no judgment! But if you hold on to that enthusiasm, win or lose, you know you have done the needful! No looking back, no regrets of what should have/s., no what if/s! Never let go of that enthusiasm in you! #neverletgoofenthusuasm #beenthusiastic #randompositivity #franklyspeaking #positivetalk #contentwriting #writingcontent #contentcreation #socialmediamanagement #@franklyspoken https://www.instagram.com/p/CL6DNjlDY6-/?igshid=1vyiyh9blmhns

Is your hashtag making or breaking you? I heard from many experts in the field of digital marketing some contradicting ideas about hashtagging particularly the number of hashtags to be used. Some suggest maximizing the (30) hashtag allowed, some say 21-25 is ideal while others are firm with 10 or less. What's your take on this? What's working for you? #hashtagging #howtousehashtag #howmanyhashtagtouse #idealnumberofhashtag #writingcontent #marketlytat #socmedmanagement #contentwriting https://www.instagram.com/p/CLVnfdIFzQN/?igshid=1rp3whgzkq73y
