Everybody these days is set out to do something with their lives. Whether its personal or professional, they are always on the move.
Everybody these days is set out to do something with their lives. Whether its personal or professional, they are always on the move. Where this is a good thing, some people make these simple mistakes, which sets back their speed of success and ruins their confidence.
We take inspiration from many people. Most of them are either extremely successful or at a place that is fairly successful. Without any doubt we are inspired by them. We try to apply their methods to our journey. We try to understand, “How the hell did they manage that?”
Soon we aim to do just that. But we still do not get the same results. We do not achieve the same thing that they did. Why? This leads to frustration and anger. Either we stop the work or lose confidence.
These are the things to follow when on your journey –
Do not compare your life to anyone else’s – This is the basic mistake we all make. In our lives we will meet people who would have gone through the same issues we did/do, they may experience the same feelings, but it does not mean that it is the same thing.
Do not ignore your pace – Please, Please, Please do not burden your pace by judging it. It takes a long time to reach a certain space in life. If you are slow or too fast please avoid all judgement at any cost. The trick is not how fast you reach but the way you reach. It is not the shortcut but the intelligence and hard work that actually takes you places.

Neena was the sole caregiver of Amma and though one would think that Amma was dependent on her, Neena felt otherwise.
Neena inhaled the aroma that emanated from the pan and took a deep breath. The aroma of cumin interspersed with butter transported her back to the modest kitchen in her native village. She could picture her father standing in the kitchen wearing his white crisp kurta as he made delectable concoctions for his only daughter.
Neena grew up in a home where both her parents worked together in tandem to keep the house up and running. She had a blissful childhood in her modest two-room house. The house was small but every nook and cranny gave her memories of a lifetime. Neena’s young heart imagined that her life would follow the same cheerful course. But how wrong she was!
When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
