HEALING

A vow to a healthier, happier and a peaceful life. 

Have you guys heard people saying you, in your days of hardship - It's ok, It happens, It's normal,  Forget it, Let go and Move on, as if it's as easier as eating an aloo paratha (Potato stuffed flat bread). Isn't ? Have you guys been hearing the same. I'm sure on the inside you want to say them, kindly keep yourself at my position and then comment on my situation and on the outside you would just say, yes ok I'm trying. Thank you. I am sure, you all must have heard this at some point in your life and you will certainly resonate with my words.

It doesn't mean that your close and loved ones are saying and comforting you just for the sake of it. No that isn't the case, they obviously love you and want to see you happy, that is why they are trying every bit to enliven you and make you feel better. But what I am trying to say is that, what you go through in your life, no one better than you can understand you and your afflictions. Because it's not difficult for others to comfort you, but it's difficult for them to exactly put themselves in your shoes and associate with you in the exact same way as your situation is. No one better than you will understand your condition because you are in that situation physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. 

Yes life is tough and it will irrefutably be for you and me. And I'm not saying that you have to rush into forgetting things and move on. No, that's just not possible for any one of us. We are all humans and we all need our own time to heal, because healing is a process and it will take time. Some might take lesser time, some might take more, but that's completely ok, we all have our own journey and experiences and everyone's way of dealing with intricated situations and circumstances is not the same. We are all different, so the time we take to heal ourselves will also be different. 

Healing is not something that will happen overnight. Like one day you just wake up in the morning, and everything is wiped off from your mind and heart, with zero memories of the past, it's just not possible. It's a process and every individual will take their own time to imbibe the situation, understand it and accept it gracefully. 

Make sure you are not just trying to rush into forgetting things and move on because that is just not possible. No matter how much you try to forget things, some thing or the other will bring a flashback of the bitter memories you are trying to run away from. And more essentially learn to forgive because the act of forgiveness will calm you down and that will be for the sake of your own mental peace and well being. So instead of rushing into forgetting things, ignoring and running away from facing the harsh situations and holding on to the burden, you should -

Try to accept the situation as it is, because it cannot be altered or changed.

Don't rush into forgetting things.

Take your time.

Change your thought process.

Think positive.

Stay determined and have patience.

Always look at the bright side in life. 

Don't run away from facing the situation, instead face it like a warrior and deal with it.

Develop the attitude of forgiveness, for the sake of your own mental peace. 

Stay strong, no matter how many ebb and flow come your way.

Don't lose hope.

Because this is what will work for you, rather than sobbing over the not so good days. Your mental and emotional determination of letting go of the things that are holding you back will help you get over the things that are muddling up with your mind and heart. When you will realize that you have had it enough and now it's time for you to get rid of all the accumulated emotions and baggage of the past, that conviction will definitely be a game changer for you and nobody can stop you then. Then you just have to get ahead with your life and do what makes your soul happy and content. 

H - Hope (of a better future).

E - Enlighten (educate and uplift yourself through this unpleasant experience, and take it as a lesson for the future).

A - Accept (the hardships).

L - Learn (from the not so good experiences in life).

I - Inculcate (infuse in your mind and heart that it's ok that something unfortunate happened and take it as a learning for the future).

N - Nurture (yourself with the goodness of what makes your soul elated and peaceful).

G - Grow (every single day, with every small experience of your life be it good or not so good).

It's true that healing takes time depending upon person to person. But what you do during that period of time is what matters more. You will not heal just by saying, I WILL HEAL WITH TIME, no that won't happen, if you won't make it happen. You have to make an effort to heal yourself. What efforts you make will vary from person to person, but an effort has to be made in order to heal yourself with time. Like -

Follow your hobbies.

Surround yourself with positive people in a positive environment.

Meditate.

Mindful thinking.

Make productive utilization of your time.

Start working on your dreams day and night.

Spend time with your loved ones and pets.

Practice gratitude and forgiveness.

Go easy on yourself.

Don't let negative thoughts wobble you from your goals.

And a lot more varying from person to person.

The ability, process, time and way of healing will be different for every other individual, but only you can do that for yourself. Even if others try to comfort you and relate with you, it doesn't really make much difference, what will make a difference is, your own strength and dedication to deal with the situation and once you make up your mind, no body can stop you then and pull you backwards. 

Nothing is permanent in this world, just like the good days, even the not so good days are not here to stay forever. All you have to do is not lose hope. Hope is permanent, and it should always be. No matter how many curve balls life throws at you, you don't have to give up, you have to get up, accept the situation, understand it, deal with it gracefully and most essentially start working on your dreams every single day, with a hope that life has bigger and better things planned for you. And once you will be healed you will gradually develop into a better version of yourself and you will evolve beautifully. 

A LITTLE REMINDER FROM ME YOU - Life is beautiful, embrace it gracefully and don't forget to love yourself. And make a vow to yourself that you will live a happier, healthier and a peaceful life.

YOU VS. YOU

 

Hello warriors! Do you know who is your biggest competitor in life, it's YOU and it will always be YOU and only YOU.

YOU might wonder why am I calling you all warriors, Right! Ok, so let me tell you why! Because I genuinely believe that you are all warriors in some way or the other because I know you are all fighting your own battles, and trust me we are all together in this and we will overcome this no matter what comes our way and conquer our lives. 

Coming back to today's post, in this one I have tried to illustrate the significance and impact of competition. So, let's get started!

We are all living in a world where we are surrounded by people with intense competitive spirit in their head, and that constant attitude of acute competition with others, takes over our mental peace and well being and we actually forget to savor the beauty of life. 

It's true that there is nothing wrong in having a healthy competitive approach but what's wrong is having a competitive approach towards others and not ourselves. You can have a healthy competitive spirit within yourself to become better than who you were yesterday with a lot of hard work, dedication, patience and a lot more, but don't indulge into the outlook where, you want to compare yourself to others and compete with them and become like them or better than them. 

Having a notion of becoming better than others will lead you no where in life, rather it will only build up stress and exhaustion, leading to muddling up with your own well being, happiness and peace of mind.

YOU are you, and nobody can be you, and that's your super power. Why do you want to waste your precious time in competing with others and becoming better than them and not yourself. Why don't you try to compete with yourself and work on yourself because only a healthy competition with yourself will give you a sense of self satisfaction knowing that you have made an effort to become the best of your capability of who you are.

YOU have to understand that you are one unique personality, and there can be no one like you, you are as special as you can think of being, why is even there a want to become like others or better than them. Why don't you understand that, you are you and you can never be like them and they are they and they can never be like you, because we are all different in every sense, we are all special in our own way, and that's what makes us who we are.   

YOU are your biggest competition and you don't have to follow others trying to become like them or pulling others down in order to pull yourself up. Instead work hard on yourself, challenge yourself and test your boundaries to become the best version of yourself, because your life is your own unique journey.  

YOU might become successful with keeping an intense competitive spirit at your workplace and in life. It might get you a lot of money, name and fame, because you will get ahead in life and you will start doing better than others and you might leave everyone behind. But have you ever wondered that where is this taking you in life in terms of mental security and peace. Is having a competition with others and becoming better than them, giving you a sense of peace? Is the feeling of jealousy making you feel good? Is staying stressed and exhausted helping you anyway in getting ahead in life? Or becoming better than who you were yesterday will give you immense peace and joy? You must ask these questions to yourself. And the choice is absolutely yours, because you are the decision maker of your life and life is not a competition, having a competitive spirit can generate success for you professionally but a healthy competition with yourself will yield you contentment and peace.

Why is there a need for you to think that you want to do better than others in life. Why can't you just change this approach and say, I want to do better than how I was doing yesterday and that simply means that I will not compare and compete with others but only with myself. This is the right attitude to have in life. Don't ever try to compare your journey with theirs, or their journey with yours, because it's futile to do so and life is not the same for all. Shift the focus on competing with yourself rather than competing with others. 

Do you want to be remembered as who you are organically, because you have your own individual identity or do you want to be remembered as someone who has lived all their life trying to become like others, who has nothing unique to their own personality. Aren't you confident enough of who and how you are? Don't you want to be proud of the fact that you have come a long way in life! You have to decide that for yourself and ask these questions to yourself. 

We are all different, we are all at different stages in life, our journeys are different, our strengths and limitations are different, our backgrounds are different, our experiences are different, everything is just so different from the other and it is such a foolery to compare our lives with somebody's else's because it just can't be compared, so where does the question of competition with someone else arise, because there is no root to it and the thing which has no root to itself cannot be into existence of any kind. 

Let's just understand this better with the help of an example of a flower. "A flower does not think of competing to the flower next to it, it just blooms". How beautiful is this quotation. Let's just be like a flower, do your own thing and bloom, don't try to compare yourself with others and compete with them or try to pull them down. Let them do their thing and shine and you do yours. Concentrate on your own journey rather than trying to compete with others and comparing yours with theirs. Love yourself immensely and compete with yourself and bloom like a flower and spread love, positivity and happiness around, because what you are on the inside reflects on the outside as well.

Moreover, develop the attitude of being happy for others as well. Empower each other, help each other grow, appreciate others hard work and success. Be happy for others and if you can bring a smile on someone's face, do that as well. Because this is what will give you immense happiness and peace. 

There is so much more to life than competing with others. Just do your thing and enlighten your being with the essence of love and happiness, and do what nourishes your soul and makes you feel euphoric and embrace your journey. 

Compete with yourself every single day and with every passing day, you will see yourself becoming better than who you were yesterday because you are born to shine, don't ever forget that. 

Keep smiling and keep shining!

LITTLE DID SHE KNOW

This post Little Did She Know, is my dedication to all you super women, to make you remember that, you have got to love and laugh, no matter how many skies have fallen.

Little Did She Know 

She was stumbling upon something she never thought existed.
She overlooked the storm that was going to arrive.
She was apprehensive, because her emotions were continually bluffing with her head and heart.
The outrageous volcano ruptured deep into her soul. 
The words of wisdom were never enough. 
Little Did She Know, that her artistry of love was beyond human understanding.

From me to you

This Ecstatic Soul Writes

Have you ever wondered, sometimes you come across situations in life, where decision making becomes the most crucial thing for you. Because you know which ever path you choose to go, either way it's a dead end, and there is nothing in between that can be taken cared of. I exactly know how does that feel and I'm sure many of you will resonate with this one. 

Life is definitely not a cake walk, and it will never be, you obviously will come across situations in life where no matter how many ebb and flow come your way, you still have to overcome all the impediments coming your way, and make a way for yourself. Because that's how life is, it is filled with stumbling paths, and you have to overcome every single obstacle and also learn to live in the moment and embrace yourself through it, instead of rushing into the things ahead in life. 

You will obviously stumble upon things that are brutally unexpected and that will shake you off as well, and I know it's not easy but there is one thing that I can assure you for, and that is, we are all together in this, and it's gods way of teaching us to how to let go and learn to get hold over our lives even through these stumbling paths and afflicted times. It's his way of teaching us, on how to become the better version of ourselves because he knows that these adverse times will bring out the best in us, making us stronger than we ever thought we were. 

Love definitely is the most beautiful feeling in this world, but sometimes you are so blinded in love, that you ignore the things you shouldn't. You ignore yourself to an extend that it leaves you in a space where there is no room for your own well being, self love and self worth. And sometimes it knocks the stuffing out of you that it feels like a storm that comes into your life and leaves everything smashed. So, love with your eyes open and experience the most ethereal feeling in this world, with not just loving your partner and the people you are close to, but also loving yourself and embrace yourself in this journey called life. 

You know we often get bewildered in some situations in life, where we don't understand who should we listen to, our head or our heart. And due to this dilemma, sometimes we take a wrong decision and that one wrong decision with it's repercussions, hamper a lot of things in our life. So instead, try not to get muddled up and make a wise decision for yourself, keeping into consideration its virtues and shortcomings and leave the rest in gods hand. 

True that is, action speaks louder than words. Don't fall for the fancy big words, watch out the for their actions. If you see their words and actions travelling to a different destination, it's time for you to wake up and not fall for the trap and walk away in peace.

I know sometimes an unforeseen incident that occurs in your life feels like an outrageous volcano that ruptures deep into your soul, leaving you poignant and inert. But I will still say no matter what comes your way, you have to stand up again and enliven your life with love and happiness. Make a promise to yourself that nothing in this world can stop you from being who you are, and it's time for you to unfold your wings and fly high. 

It's true that sometimes life throws at you the curve balls, which leaves you in a situation where decision making becomes the toughest job for you, but that one decision that you have to make will be the climacteric one and the game changer for you and your life as well. Because life is like that, the difficult times we go through in our lives, help us learn and grow. 

You don't have to depend on others for the love that you deserve in your life, start loving yourself and stop waiting for someone else to complete you, no one can do that for you, it's only you who can complete you. You owe yourself, everything that you wish for. We only live once, and let's not squander it over things that are not in our control, instead work hard, convert your dreams into reality and do what nourishes your soul and makes you happy. 

You should know that you are enough just the way you are. And knowing that you are enough is what makes you exceptional. Love yourself enough so that no matter how many ebb and flow you come across in life, you will come back standing stronger than ever and don't forget to love yourself through this journey. 

She is you, she is me, she is everything she could ever be. 
She is life, she is magic, she is far away from tragic.
She is your mother, she is your sister, she is your wife, she is your friend.
Isn't she the reason of your existence on this land.

BELIEF

This post is about the power of BELIEF and how it works to manifest our wishes and dreams.

 

Thinking of manifestation, the first thing that comes to my mind is the dialogue, spoken by Shah Rukh Khan in the movie Om Shanti Om.

"Kehte hai agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaaho toh puri kaayanaat usey tumse milaane ki koshish main lag jaati hai."

( They say, if you want something with all your heart, then the entire universe works, to help you get it. )

And this is what manifestation is. If you genuinely with all your heart and soul want to achieve something in life, then foremostly you must believe in it, and if your intention is right, your heart is pure, your love/passion is true and real, your thoughts are positive, your belief is one hundred percent, then even the universe will leave no stone unturned to fulfill your wishes.

Every single human being wishes for something or the other in their lifetime. And our wishes are never ending. After one wish is fulfilled, the next is born and it goes on and on. Wishes are a part of our life and so is the belief. 

At every age and stage of our life, a new wish takes birth. In fact our wishes take birth every single day, every single hour, and they keep on increasing, shifting and changing with time. That's how it works for us. We human beings and our desires, there is no end to it. 

If you are whole heartedly and genuinely trying to manifest something, first and foremostly you have to believe in it with all your heart. If you pray for a wish to come true, and you don't make any efforts to make that wish come true, it wont work. Just praying isn't enough, you have to sincerely believe in what you are praying for and make sincere efforts with positivity and truthfulness in your head and heart and the right intention and purity in your heart, only then manifestation works for what you are praying for. 

Believe

It's your belief that makes your wishes come true. If you do something to achieve in life, without believing in yourself it won't work for you, because your belief comes from within. If you won't believe in what you are praying for, you won't give your hundred percent, how will your efforts work then. It's the belief that's the key to the fulfillment of your wishes. And once you understand the meaning of sincere belief, even the universe will stand by your side through every ebb and flow you go through in your life and will move mountains to fulfill your wishes.

Right and Ethical Intention

God bless those, whose intentions are ethical and right. Your wishes will come true and you will definitely achieve your goals in life, if they are right and morally correct. If you want to achieve something in life, give it your best, the best efforts, dedication, hard work, discipline and the right intention, then just see how the universe will pull out all the stops to fulfill your dream and with god's blessing, nothing can stop you then, just give it your best and go for it and make your dreams come true and fulfill all your wishes and see how the entire universe works for you to help you get it. And yes it's true that people still do unethical and morally incorrect things and achieve things in life, but they are not right in the eyes of god and universe has no role to play in their part of the story. 

Pure Heart 

You will become god's favourite child if your heart is clean and pure with righteous deeds. With the right intention and purity in your heart, your belief in whatever you wish for will come true because god will never leave your hand and will fulfill your wishes if it has been made with purity in your heart. A person's whose heart is pure automatically receives god's blessings and the universe spares no effort in the fulfillment of your dreams and wishes. 

Positive Thinking 

A lot of things that keep going on in your head and heart, know a way of working themselves out if you just remain positive and don't let negative thoughts wobble you from your wishes and dreams. A positive approach towards life can change the entire game. And an optimist's greatest strength is that they can keep the negative thoughts away and not let those negative thoughts hinder their belief in what they pray for. 

Fill up your mind with positive thoughts and emotions with the belief that whatever hard work you have done so far will pay off and your efforts will fulfill your dreams and desires. This belief of positivity will attract positivity around you and then even the universe will leave no stone unturned in fulfilling your wishes. Because of your belief and positivity you will attract positivity and the results of your positive thinking will also be positive. 

True Love / Real Passion

That is the power of manifestation. Just like Paulo Coelho quoted in one of his novel, The Alchemist - I love you because the entire universe conspired, to help me find you. When love is true from both the sides, then even the universe works for you to get what you need. Only true love gives that strength and ability to fight against all odds and it's the power of true love and belief, that even the universe endeavors to bring the loved ones together, overcoming all the ebb and flow. 

If your passion is real, and your hard work, dedication, patience, and perseverance is one hundred percent, no matter how many curve balls life throws at you, with your real passion, even the universe will help you fulfill your dreams. 

ESSENCE OF THE POST 

If you want to achieve something in life with all your heart and soul, then give your best in it, your efforts, your passion, your love, your intention, the purity in your heart, your positivity, your belief, your hard work, your dedication, if all of this is one hundred percent, and with your sincere belief in yourself, even the universe will be with you then, and gift you the box of your dreams and happiness. 

Don't let the faith within you, fade away. Keep believing.

Do you believe in manifestation too, just like I do. Kindly give your feedback in the comments section below on my post BELIEF.

SELF - LOVE

 

This post is entirely about loving oneself and a vow to a healthier and a happier life.

Love is irrefutably the most beauteous emotion one can ever have. And so is the love for oneself. Love is love, and it holds the same meaning for everyone, be it loving yourself or loving others. 

Through this post I have tried to illustrate the significance of SELF-LOVE in the life of an individual, their loved one's, the people around and how they look at the world.

SELF-LOVE is very significant in all the aspects of life. Loving oneself is the key to loving others and also the key for others to love you, because if you can't love yourself, it is impossible for you to love others, and if you won't love yourself, how can someone else love a person who doesn't love themselves. 

Just like we all want to be in love and experience the most ethereal emotion called love and the power that it has to itself. So it's also equally important to love ourselves and don't under estimate the power of self-love. It is very significant to love ourselves just the way we want to be loved. That's how it's suppose to be, from self-love to loving others. 

SELF-LOVE is not just about how you treat yourself with the goodness of self care, high self esteem, love, gratitude, good health and a lot more but self-love is also about how you talk to yourself and what you speak to yourself, because it's not just the actions that play a significant role but also the words, that are equally important. 

SELF-LOVE can mean something different to different individuals, because for every other individual having a high regard for their own physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual well being and happiness will be different. Like -

Taking care of your physical health by exercising daily.

Spending time in nature.

Spending time with family, friends and pets. 

Following your hobbies

Healthy eating.

Mindful thinking.

Practicing gratitude and forgiveness.

Going easy on yourself and so on.

SELF-LOVE and care helps in improving your overall well being, increasing your self esteem and confidence. And self-love doesn't make you selfish, it simply means that you care about yourself in every aspect, and their is nothing wrong in that. And if someone feels that self love makes you self centered, firstly don't care about it, it's your life not theirs and secondly if you do, then enlighten them with the knowledge of what self-love is all about because they probably haven't understood the meaning of it yet. 

So, one of the best decisions you will ever make for yourself is prioritizing yourself and loving yourself by not being harsh on yourself. Don't let the opinion of others wobble you from the love and care that you owe to yourself, because it's your life and the only person who has the right over your life, is you. 

We must understand that it's equally important to love ourselves, the way we love others and the way we want to be loved. And in our busy lifestyles we often ignore ourselves to an extreme that it hampers our personal well being and growth. And in the long run we start taking ourselves for granted to an extend that it crucially hinders our physical and mental wellbeing. And that's certainly is not the right thing to do. 

We must take some time out from our daily routine and dedicate it to ourselves. And do what makes us elated and content and at peace with ourselves. A person who is happier and healthier from the inside will understand the importance of SELF-LOVE and only then they can love others as well and spread positivity around themselves. 

SELF-LOVE doesn't make you selfish, it makes you indifferent towards those who hurt you. Because loving yourself doesn't makes you a person who doesn't care about the well being of others, it just makes you put your mental and emotional well being first. 

You often come across people and scenarios in life, where loving yourself and others becomes the most difficult thing to do and it doesn't come easy at all because you are surrounded by negative people in a pernicious environment and that doesn't let you grow and flourish. Don't become a part of a conversation, where you have no say at all and don't stay in an environment which is detrimental for you and your well being, rather walk away in peace and flourish. 

Because a person with a positive mindset will look at everything positively and even in the most negative scenarios they will try to seek positivity. And it's just the opposite in the case of a person who has a negative mindset, a person with a negative mindset will look at everything negatively because they have a negative approach towards life and even in the most positive scenarios, they will talk negative and they will seek for the negative traits around. 

People who are far away from loving themselves and positivity, will only spread negativity around and within, by not treating themselves with love and speaking wrong to themselves and others and it will not just deteriorate their condition but also of the people they are connected to. A negative attribute will only reflect negativity because that is what is accumulated inside them and the same will reflect in their personality as well. If you ever come across some people and scenarios that deplete your energy and doesn't let you be you and where you have to compromise with your well being, self respect, values and self-worth, all you have to do is walk away in peace and choose yourself because you don't belong there. 

What you are from the inside reflects from the outside as well. It reflects how you are as a person, how you treat your loved ones and also the people you are not acquainted with. A person who loves themselves, their approach towards life changes to a very great extent because it reflects in their personality and their loving and positive approach towards life is a game changer, not just for themselves but their loved ones as well and how they look at the world.

Start loving yourself and don't depend on others for the love that you deserve in your life and the love that you owe to yourself. Learn to love yourself no matter how many ebb and flow you come across in life because uncertainties in life will keep occurring and life is not a cake walk, we all come across the good and the not so good days in life. Depending upon others for your own well being, happiness and love will be the most imbecile decision to take, instead start loving yourself because that will contribute to your self-esteem and confidence and the only person who has the right to hold the key to your life, is you and don't let others remote control you, your well being and your self-worth. Love yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer grows you, because you are enough. 

So, don't depend on someone else to complete you, you have to do that for yourself. You have to complete yourself and no one will do that for you, SELF-LOVE is what will complete you, and not somebody's else's love. 

You must understand that you are enough just the way you are. And your partner for life is your body (mind and soul). The day you start loving yourself and take care of yourself, life will start loving you back even more, and you will see the changes after you start loving yourself because you will start feeling elated from the inside and that one decision of SELF-LOVE, will be one of the best decisions of your life. People who start loving themselves, automatically generate a positivity within themselves and that positivity starts reflecting in how they treat themselves, their loved ones and the people around them.

The feeling of SELF-LOVE is euphoric. And only an elated soul can spread happiness in their life and others. So let's just be that soul who brings exuberance into the lives of others by staying happy from within and spread happiness around.

REMINDER - You are enough, just the way you are. 

A message to remember for the rest of your life - LOVE YOURSELF. 

Kindly let me know in the comments section below if you resonated with my words. And this post on SELF-LOVE is from me to each one of you. Stay happy people !

 

THE SUNSHINE

 

THE SUNSHINE - Just like the shining sun, shine bright in your life with dazzling colors and glorify. 

THE SUNSHINE

It's everywhere.

It roams from my corner of the street to yours.

It illuminates your city and mine.

It touches my skin the same way it touches yours.

It heals you the same way it heals me.

It brightens up our life because it's everywhere.

It's light

It's bright 

It's magic 

It's sunlight 

From me to you

~ This Ecstatic Soul Writes

SUNSHINE, the rays of the sun falling on earth and it's people to enliven their lives, adding life to not just the plants and the trees, but to humans as well. The glory that the sun brings with itself is impeccable. 

Beyond the basic meaning of SUNSHINE, every person might have a different meaning of sunshine in their lives. In this post I have tried to illustrate the different meaning of sunshine for different people, aiming to resonate, elate and inspire them. 

Dusk Till Dawn

Just like after every dark night, the sun shines in the morning illuminating the mother earth and it's nature and people. In the same manner in the life of humans, every morning with the rise of the sun, it brings a hope of a fresh start and a new beginning. In spite of the dark night, the sun always gleams in the morning, no matter what, sun is a constant with a ray of lustrous shine that it has to itself. So are the mornings, no matter how dark or difficult the last night was but with the advent of morning, it brings a silver lining into our lives. 

Sun, a hopeful prospect that it brings with itself every morning. Just as in our lives, every morning is a new beginning, in spite of how many curve balls life throws at us, but still we have to start fresh every single day with a hope of a better and a brighter tomorrow, because the not so good days are not here to stay forever, they will fade away and evanesce. 

You - The sunshine of my life

We all have that one person who brings a ray of hope and sunshine into our lives. It can be our parents, siblings, friends, partner or our mentor. A person whom we consider the reason of happiness and hopefulness in our lives. Just like every morning looking at the gleaming sun, the breathe of fresh air and the etherealness of the rising sun leaves us enthralling, in the same way that one constant person in our lives as the sun is beyond blissfulness.

The rising sun every morning not just illuminates it's light and gleam, but the advent of dedication and optimism that it brings with itself has a beauty of it's own. Because there is not a single day that sun doesn't shine at it's own time. No matter how cloudy the skies were last night but the sun rises every morning at it's time with it's gleaming shine. In the same manner that one person who is a constant in our lives, their faith, dedication and optimism towards us does not let us give up, no matter how many ebb and flow we are going through in our lives. That one person is a constant one just like the sun.

The Happy Shine - Sunshine

Watching the sun gleam, brings immense happiness to the soul of the plants and the trees. The perfect example of soulful happiness is that of a sunflower, it looks so ethereal and merry. It's like a happy flower whose reason of smile is the sun and it's gleam. Sunflower, the soul flower, who smiles with it's soul because of the shining sun. 

Just like the sun makes plants and trees go merry. A good laughter with your loved ones is like a benediction to your soul. A life without laughter is not worth living. We all might have experienced this within ourselves and around us that how impactful are the laughter sessions for our body, mind and soul, and it's like a therapy to the soul. Just like a bloomed flower always looks finer than the withered one, so are the smiling faces rather than the gloomier ones. 

A rough diamond is polished for it's luster

Making our dreams come true, will never be an easy thing to do. It takes a lot of perseverance, skills, hard work, patience and a lot more. The one thing that we have to keep in our minds is, to not lose hope, and just keep at it until we succeed in accomplishing our goals and dreams and glorify with enormous colors. 

To shine like a sun, first burn like one, rightly said. It's so true, nothing comes easy in life. It takes a lot of effort and a lot more to achieve something in life. Even the sun, to radiate it's light on earth, it goes through nuclear fusion, high temperature, pressure, energy in the form of light and heat and a lot more. We as humans also have to go through a lot in life to achieve our goals and fulfill our dreams, just like sun, who after a process radiates heat and light on earth, we as humans also have to go through a lot in the process and phases of life and flourish in making our dreams come true. 

Be your own sunshine

It's not always that we might need someone to bring that light and shine in our lives. Sometimes all we need is ourselves to bring out the best in us. It's always a better decision to fall in love in with ourselves more and shift our focus in life on accomplishing our dreams and goals and keep them alive and don't let them fade away with time. 

We should be thankful to god for what we are blessed with, rather than grumbling over things we don't. Having an attitude of thankfulness will always be a wise decision to take. It brings positivity into our lives. And we must do something that makes others happy, so be the reason of someone's sunshine this time. Because just like the sun illuminates light on earth bringing a hope of a better future and a new beginning in our lives, in the same way we must try to become the sunshine in someone else's life by bringing love, happiness and hope into their lives. The amount of peace that one attains by being the reason of someone's happiness is unparalleled. 

That's how SUNSHINE is, illuminating life into the lives of humans on mother earth. It's one of the perfect example to get motivated from, by just keep going, no matter how many peaks and valleys we might come across, the hope to fulfill our dreams should never die and we must keep going, giving our best in life and glorify. And thank god every single day for what we are blessed with. 

There is so much to learn from the radiant sun. So, keep your face always towards the sunshine and let it's gleam of light and hope, enlighten your soul and life with goodness of love and positivity and everything that you wish for, leaving you elated. 

Keep smiling, keep shining !

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

This post is entirely about the empowerment of women, and how essential it is to believe in equality and let women live their lives as they want to. 

Women, the most beautiful creatures in the whole world, who miraculously have the capability to give birth to another human being. And god gave them this ability, because even god knew that only women can do such miracles on earth. But in spite of being such wonder that they are, they are still not entitled to the basic human rights, and that's disgraceful. 

Human rights are simply the basic rights and freedom that belongs to every single individual in the world. Women's are also humans! Right! And human rights include women rights as well. Then why do women still have to ask for the basic rights they are entitled to. And why is it that women are still dragged backwards when it comes to the rights they unquestionably deserve.

Why is it that women are not considered worthy of being chosen to be empowered of the most basic human rights. Why are women sometimes compelled to an extend that it becomes so crucial for them to ask for what they equally deserve. 

Everyone might have a different take on what feminism is all about, but the crux of it is all about equality. It's basic emphasis is on gender equality. And feminism is still a debatable topic, because it is still so arduous for some people to not understand such a basic thing, when it's simple objective and intention is equality. Equal rights to all, is what a feminist believes in. They are emphasizing on the basic human rights that every individual without discrimination, should be entitled to. 

Women are not asking to be privileged with exceptional rights, they are emphasizing on equality, that is equal rights for all. They are only accentuating on what they are worthy of as human beings, nothing more, nothing less.

We are still surrounded by people who believe women are inferior to men and women sometimes don't even have the basic right to become part of a family decision. Because some people still believe that women belong only in the kitchen and all they are supposed to do are the household chores, and that's where they are limited to. And as per the so called norms that few people still believe in, it's just the men of the family who can be the bread earners and only they are the righteous ones to earn and take decisions for the family. And in such scenarios women are no where in the process of decision making and this is a big matter of concern. 

Educate yourself enough to understand what equality is all about and get rid of the so called preconceived notions, patriarchy and societal norms that have been imposed on us since ages.

So, it's high time for not just men but for women as well. Men have to accept that women are worthy of everything they desire to be and have, and women themselves have to understand that they deserve everything that they dream and wish to be and they should constructively use their education to become independent and live their life on their own terms rather than being dependent on someone else for the rest of their lives.

Women, it's your education and independence that will make you feel empowered. So that you can have a control over your life and you can manage, take actions and make the decisions of your life on your own. And don't ever handover the key to your life, in somebody's else's hand. It's your life and nobody else's. To the women who don't love themselves enough and still under estimate their proficiency, wake up and start loving yourself more. This is the best you can and you will do for yourself. And if you won't do this for yourself then who else will. When you will start loving yourself, live will love you back even more. Stay Empowered !

Dear Women, 

You deserve love.

You deserve respect. 

You deserve everything that's the best. 

You deserve dreams, you deserve peace. 

You deserve everything that's meant to be. 

And most importantly, you deserve being you.

And every single right that you are entitled to. 

~ This Ecstatic Soul Writes

What kind of environment are we creating for the generations to come! Is this what we want for them? I don't think so. This is the least we can do for one another. All we have to do is treat each other equally. As equality will be a collective effort of all who care about human rights.

Let's start equality from our own households. Treat daughters and sons equally. Treat mothers and fathers equally. Treat brothers and sisters equally. Treat every single person in your household equally. Treat every single person around you equally. Treat everyone equally. Start from within. Start with yourself.

Equality should be a celebration of ensuring equal rights to every individual without any kind of discrimination. The day people will accept that we are all equal, and we are all entitled to the human rights equally, world will be a better place to live in. 

Celebrate Womankind! They are the reason of your existence. And if this reason isn't enough to ring a bell in someone's head, then I don't know what will.

DICHOTOMY OF LOVE AND HATE

This post is about the disparity between LOVE and HATE. And how it impacts human nature and their lives. 

DICHOTOMY OF LOVE AND HATE

The petals of rose

The drops of rain 

A ray of sunshine

And everything sane.

The thunderstorm 

The hurricane 

The volcano eruption 

Was all insane. 

The dichotomy of love and hate is just the same. 

From me to you

- This Ecstatic Soul Writes

One brings you sanity and the other brings you closer to insanity. That's how LOVE and HATE are. The two antithetical with the most powerful emotions. And what you choose for yourself and others, will depend on you.

LOVE is the most beautiful emotion one can have and the most ethereal feeling in the world. It brings you closer to god, sanity, the person you love and yourself.

Rose, a symbol of love, admiration, peace, gratitude, purity and everything that has positivity to it, symbolizes rose and it's beauty. Just is the case of love, love is as pure as it could be, it signifies the positivity in one's nature and life with the attributes of admiration, respect, gratitude, and peace. As soft as the petals of rose, the feeling of LOVE, softens your heart and the emotions that it brings with itself, bringing elation into your life.

As the little drizzles of rain drops fall on earth, brings the hope of a cooler and calmer weather and it brings life to nature in a better way. Similarly LOVE brings hope into our lives. The hope of speaking our heart out, the hope of being organic, the hope of being understood, the hope of mutual respect and care, and the hope of everything sane that's meant to be in a relationship, with the hope that this is meant to be till eternity. As hope is permanent and should always be. 

We all need a constant in our lives, which is as constant as the sunrise, because sun is a constant, and so is it's shine. We all seek for that one person sticking by our side for the rest of our lives, no matter how many ebb and flow life will have, no matter what the circumstances are, that one constant person is all we need in our lives. 

LOVE brings stability into our lives. It makes us want to become a better person, not just for the people we love but also for ourselves, because it brings out the best in us. It is a growth, and as love grows between two individuals, they also grow as a person. And with the growth of LOVE in our lives, it's tranquility grows with itself.

The thunderstorm, the hurricane, the volcano eruption was all insane, that's how HATRED is. Far away from sanity and the closest to insanity. 

Just how the natural calamities bring destruction and chaos in nature, In the same manner HATRED does to the person and their lives. It brings out the worst in them causing devastation within themselves and the people around. As it is the most negative emotion one can have, it causes ruination inside out. And the insanity that it brings with itself is irretrievable. 

Even in the most catastrophic conditions, never choose animosity. It's ok if you can't choose LOVE, but don't choose animosity either. Just let it go. Let go of all the burden of negative thoughts and emotions. Once you choose to let go, let love and tranquility enter into your life and embrace it to the fullest. 

HATE is that emotion, which will cause the most damage to the hater. It's so mentally tarnishing to hold onto the negative emotions and bitterness in your head and heart. Don't bog yourself down with it. Instead the best thing that you can do for yourself is to get rid of all the burden of bitterness, and breathe the freshness and purity of LOVE and then you will know how beautiful life is. 

Choose LOVE over HATE. The bond of LOVE you build through your journey, is the real treasure of life. Always and Forever!

And don't forget to keep radiating shine and love.

MY BEST FRIEND

This post is a dedication to MY BEST FRIEND, who is my constant just like the sunrise, the stars and the moon.

MY BEST FRIEND

You not just make me happy but euphoric. 

On the gloomy days when I am lost, you elate me with your presence.

On the days I feel apathetic, you enliven me to the fullest. 

Your faith in me makes me want to achieve all my dreams. 

Thank you my friend, thank you for the myriad love and unparalleled memories.

From me to you

- This Ecstatic Soul Writes

Starting to pen down a dedicated post on MY BEST FRIEND is already making me feel over the moon. I feel so overwhelmed dipping my words into the inkwell of love that I have for you my friend. 

FRIENDSHIP, one of the most beautiful emotion one can have. We all need one true friend in our lives. Just like love, we all need a friend to ride on with, in this ethereal journey called life. Because life is incomplete without one true friend, and with the right one, even the stumbling paths in the journey become easier, because then you have someone by your side to make the ride exultant. 

Oh my BEST FRIEND where should I start from, the little absurdities that we do together or the milestones that we have achieved together in life. And thank you will never be enough when it comes to the things that you have done for me. But I still want to thank you for everything, because I feel elated to have you by my side.

You are my sanity in this chaotic world. With so much cacophony around, you are my favourite piece of music, to whom I can listen to for hours without getting fagged and bored. 

It's never a dull moment with you my FRIEND, because you know how to spread love and happiness around. You are my 2 am friend, who converts my moments of melancholy into laughter. And laughing to a point till our stomach starts to ache is still our favourite therapy and will always be. I'm so thankful to god and you for all the laughter sessions that we have together and many more to come. 

There have been days when I was lost and I felt phlegmatic but you my friend didn't give up on me, you became the pillar of my strength and support, and you left no stone unturned to encourage me. 

To get rid off all the anguishness, sometimes all you need is your BEST FRIEND sitting by your side, and I had you around. And it was your motivation that I am still standing strong and I could fight like a warrior.

Your positive approach towards life is enthralling. You saw a potential in me when I couldn't see that in myself. Your never give up attitude always inspired me to move forward and convert my dreams into reality. You made me realize, that how important it was for me to follow my dreams without getting wobbled with so much happening around.

You my FRIEND pulled out all the stops in bringing out the best in me. And you made me fall in love with myself all over again.

You have given me impeccable myriad memories to cherish all my life. And there is so much more to add on to it.

I know I can count on you. And with you by my side, I know I will be alright, no matter what. Because we have realized that people come and go but our FRIENDSHIP and it's quirky madness is eternal. 

We all need that one person in our lives, with whom we can speak our heart out and just be ourselves with no filter on, who understands us just the way we are, with no judgements in return and trust me if you have that one person by your side, it's such a blessing to thank god for. And you my friend are that blessing in my life, who stayed by my side through thick and thin.

I'm blessed with the best because I have you in my life. Thank you for you being you and letting me be who I am. And most essentially thank you for being so real in this not so real world. 

I love you!

Keep loving, keep smiling and don't forget to be, someone's rainbow in the cloudy sky.

LIFE AFFIRMATIONS

This post is entirely about LIFE and it's AFFIRMATIONS. A commitment to a happier and a peaceful life.

An AFFIRMATION on LIFE from me to each one of you that you are all special, in fact very special and god has sent you into this world for a purpose, and you can not disappoint the almighty after all. Right isn't it! 

LIFE AFFIRMATIONS

What is meant to be will always find it's way, even if the scorching shadows come in the way. 

When nothing feels right just hope and pray, because forever, it's not going to stay. 

When love doesn't feel like love today, let it die or let it fade away. 

Life my friend is a beautiful stage, now or never, the decision is yours to make. 

From me to you

- This Ecstatic Soul Writes

I know it's easier said than done, but the best decision you will ever make for yourself is to start loving yourself and stop being too harsh on yourself and don't let the opinion of others wobble you from your goals. It's your LIFE and the only person who has the right over your life is you and only you. Don't let others remote control you, your emotions and decisions. The key to your LIFE and it's happiness should only be handed in your hands. And no matter what comes your way, how difficult the situation is, giving up and losing hope should never be an option. 

LIFE is tough and it will obviously be for you and me. And I'm not trying to say that you have to rush into forgetting things and move on. No, that's just not possible. We are all humans and we all need our time to heal, because healing is a process and it will take time. Some might take lesser time, some might take more, but that's completely ok, we all have our own journey and everyone's way of dealing with circumstances and situations is not the same. We are all different so the time we take to heal ourselves will also be different. 

We have to learn to stop giving a reaction to everything, don't get affected and controlled by what people do and say. If someone says something wrong or bad, it's ok. Just breathe and ignore because their words and actions reflect their personality, not ours.  

And one thing that I have realized over a period of time is that, no matter how much others try to explain you or comfort you, it really doesn't make much of a difference. Yes it might help you temporarily but it will not work permanently for you. What will work for you is your mental and emotional determination of letting go of things that are holding you back and move on. The day you will realize that you have had it enough and now it's time for you to get rid of all the accumulated emotions from your mind and heart, that conviction will definitely be a game changer for you and nobody can stop you then. Just get ahead with it and don't look back. 

What's meant to happen in our lives, it definitely will, no matter how many obstacles come our way, we will overcome all these hurdles and shine. Because life is like that, it's never going to be easy, it's just that with time, we become stronger than before. LIFE is a great teacher, and there is so much to learn every single day, every single moment and convert our dreams into reality. 

Nothing is permanent in this world, just like the good days, even the not so good days are not here to stay forever. All we have to do is not lose hope. Hope is permanent, and it should always be. There comes a situation in LIFE when nothing feels right and things don't work out the way we expected them to, but that's when we have to calm ourselves down and not give up and accept the situation, hoping that life has bigger and better things planned for us.

We all know that love is one of the most ethereal emotion one can have. It's one of the most secured feeling in the world. But if it doesn't feel the same anymore, it's better to let it go, because you cannot hold on to the purest emotion, if love doesn't feel like love anymore. Love for one, might just be a casual relationship for the other. So in such muddled up situations, it's better to let go. Let go of all that you have in your head and heart. I know it's not easy, but trust me it's far better than the complicated one. 

LIFE is a stage, and we are merely the players, with an entrance and exit to it. The decision will be ours now, what are we going to do with it and with how much conviction and dedication we want to live our lives, will totally depend on us. Each day brings us a new ray of hope, and then it depends on us whether we make use of it or just let it go. It's just a matter of time, now or never, the decision is ours. 

Just a reminder to each one of you, "This too shall pass." And happiness my friend will be your best friend once you try and divert your mind, from the not so good things, to your life goals and the people you are blessed with. 

Kindly let me know in the comments section below, if you resonated with my words. And this post on LIFE AFFIRMATIONS is from me to each one of you. 

Stay happy people! I wish you all, lots of love and happiness.

MY MOTHER - MY INSPIRATION

This post is a dedication to MY MOTHER who is MY INSPIRATION. It was her myriad love and support that I could start my journey as a blogger.

My mother's inspiration and belief, motivated me to commence my journey and share my cosmos of words with the world.

MY MOTHER - MY INSPIRATION

The smile on your lips

The sheen in your eyes

The gleam on your face

So utterly divine.

Colossal of emotions 

My heart brimming with jubilation 

Oh my darling archangel

You are my sunshine and my inspiration.

From me to you

- This Ecstatic Soul Writes

When I think about love and life, the first person that comes to my mind is my mother. She is everything I thank god for. She is my love, my life, my strength, my biggest support, my inspiration and what not. I owe my life to her, and this is the least I can do for her. When I know the reason behind her smiling face, twinkling eyes, and a happier soul is me, that feeling is ethereal and it makes me the happiest person on earth. 

To the days, when we come back home after a tiring day at work, and just a glimpse of her is enough to bring a smile on our face, and sipping our favourite cup of garlic tea in that cute little corner of the house and a conversation with her over everything that happened through out the day is such a blissful feeling. 

This poem is not just a dedication to my mother who is also my inspiration, but this one is a special dedication to all the beautiful mothers, who selflessly shower their love and care on us. It's our mother's inspiration that keeps us going and their constant support that motivates us to never give up, no matter what the circumstances are. 

Mom, I love you more than words can say. You are my best friend and will always be. Thank you for guiding me through life and making me the person I'm today. I owe you all that I am. Thank you mom for the unconditional love and patience. Thank you for being the greatest mother in the world.

I Love You Mom!
