Watch this gripping video by Author Glennon Doyle Melton to learn the art of accepting ourselves to lead an authentic and meaningful life.
It takes a lot of courage to leave the crowd and find your way home to a place called authenticity. Living life fully and completely is a blessing that very few get to experience during their lifetime. Life is a huge grinding mill that spares none. In a strife torn world of ours, it is very common to find people getting disillusioned with the whole concept of life.
Hassled by the trials and tribulations they face, people remain stuck in the shell they create for themselves. Swamped by feelings of depression and helplessness, they fear chartering the unknown. They refuse to budge from their existing circumstances.
Glennon Doyle Melton, in her video, talks about how she battled the emotional paralysis that had taken her in its grip for so long. She is a recovering bulimic, alcohol and a drug user. Her story encourages everyone to take charge of their lives by letting go of the fears and drenching in the spirit of life.
According to her, this can be done when people accept each other the way they are. Human beings are vulnerable species. It is absolutely acceptable to have our own phobias and expressing them is the best way to mitigate it.
Watch the following video that urges us all to awaken from living a mundane life to a masterful one.

Falling in love, marriage, a hidden secret, divorce. Despite all this, Vinita noticed her life was full of love that came in various unexpected shades!
“Aap jinke kareeb hotey hain, woh badey kush naseeb hotey hain…”
Just as Vinita was settling down into the cab seat, the driver put on music and the song started to play. It took her back immediately to that evening ten years ago, when Gautam had sung that very same song to her on the first evening they had met. She could remember every single detail of that evening so very clearly.
The driver obliged and immediately stopped the bus for them. Many men got down. They shamelessly lined up just by the side of the bus and peed on the other side of the road.
I work in Pune. My family lives far away from me in a small town along the coast of Konkan. I get to meet them once every fortnight for which I have to take a nine-hour long overnight bus journey.
But this was not a movie. This was real life. It was unfair. It was cruel. It was ordinary. It was mundane. It was uncertain.

The Palace of Illusions was the first book by Chitra Banarjee Divakaruni that I read and fell in love with, instantly. Mythology being a topic of interest, especially the Mahabharata, I was deeply engrossed in the story and found myself unable to put the book down even after I had finished reading it.
