“Helping others is the way we help ourselves.”
-Oprah Winfrey
Dear wonderful readers and members,
As you know we are going through some significant changes for this site to make it bigger and better than ever. Sometimes you have to take a step back to move two steps forward. And that’s what I did with my #PayItForward series.
“Laughter is the best medicine.”
-Unknown
You’ve heard it. I’ve heard it. The whole world, irrespective of culture, religion or language has heard today’s quote. But what exactly does it mean besides the literal sense of it? And how accurate is it scientifically or biologically?
“The world is giving you answers everyday. Just learn to listen.”
-Unknown
Dear readers and members,
We’ve had some new members this month so a very hearty welcome to them. And if you’re a regular reader of this site, thank you and welcome back.
As many of you might now, the DWW site is going through some major updates to better serve your needs and wants.
“You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy.”
-C. Joybell
Let me tell you a story. There was once a passenger who far exceeded the amount of luggage he could travel with. He only had two options. Either discard some of the luggage or pay an exorbitant price.
“My silence means I am tired of fighting…” -Aarti Khurana In many of my previous posts, I’ve talked about mental illness and depression because it’s a subject that is very personal to me for obvious reasons. However, one topic I have not addressed in detail is for the outsider looking in. If you’ve never had … Read more
“When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.”
-Gilbert K. Chesterton
Never take __________ for granted. How many times have we heard that in our lives? The blank can be filled with anything be it family, friends, money, etc.
“Have a good cry, wash out your heart. If you keep it inside it’ll tear you apart.”
-Sometimes You Win (1979) by Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show
Sometimes it’s discouraged, sometimes you’re pushed to let it out. But if you’re a male who grew up in the twentieth century, you were most likely told not to do it, especially in public.
I’m talking about crying.
“I always REMINDED myself that this wasn’t exactly where I was meant to be, but pit stops are okay on the road of life, aren’t they?
-Lena Dunham
I explained in my last post how I would go over some more techniques which allow us to step back in troubled times and mentally reboot ourselves when our minds get cluttered. Here are some more tips that might help you stop and smell the roses momentarily.
“What if we recharged ourselves as often as we did our phone? We take better care of our smartphone than ourselves. We know when the battery is depleted and recharge it.”
-Unknown.
In several posts, I’ve talked about the importance of taking a breather. I’ve always believed that taking a break and recharging your batteries is of the utmost importance to continue being passionate about your endeavors.
“Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.”
-William Ellery Channing
Originally, I had an idea in mind for a different topic for today’s post.
“What feels like the end is often the beginning.”
-Unknown
Imagine this scenario: you have a goal. You have one passionate project that looms over everything else you’re doing.
“If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever.” -James O’Barr In the past, I’ve written two articles on dealing with a death of a loved one. As you might know by know, … Read more
“If someone seriously wants to be a part of your life, they will seriously make an effort to be in it.”
-Unknown
If you’re read my previous articles on this site, you’ll notice that one thing I always stress on is never giving up on anything that’s a passion and close to your heart no matter how many obstacles try to stop you. But are there exceptions to that philosophy? Are there instances when giving up will actually be advantageous?
Accomplishments will prove to be a journey, not a destination.
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
For the longest time, one of the most commonly used phrases I’ve heard is “the end justifies the means.” Adding to that are stories of constant hustle and bustle till people reach their goals. It all makes me think; is a destination simply a mcguffin for learning?
Dear readers,
Apologies for not having a post today. I’m doing research on Dynamic Neural Retraining System or DNRS. It’s been around for some time now but has some buzz going around in mental health seminars.
“No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.”
-Aesop
Welcome to the seventh of my #PayItForward series. If you’re a regular reader, thank you. If you’re new, this is a series in which I write about writers I find inspiring and what specifically, I’ve learned from them.
“An obsession is a way for damaged people to damage themselves more.”
-Mark Barrowcliffe
I’ve always believed that two key elements to conquer any difficult endeavor of life are passion and determination. But is there such a thing too much passion? Can you ever love something (or someone) so much that it comes a hindrance more than an ascension.
There can be, when passion becomes obsession.
“Acceptance makes an incredible fertile soil for the seeds of change.”
-Steve Maraboli
There was an article I wrote for this site a few months back on acceptance and the aftermath of going through bad situations in life. I am posting parts of that article again but first, I feel the need to add something crucial to it that has more or less donned on me in the last month or so.
An amazing thing happens when you stop seeking approval and validation: You find it.
-Mandy Hale
How necessary is it to for us to have validation?
In terms of needing it, not very necessary at all in most aspects of life. Wanting it, however, is a different story. As human beings, we want validation for everything we do. We like compliments. We like people agreeing with us.
