Carve the best you

SWOT

A little underrated I guess when it comes to us.
Take it up for a happy, better you.
Easy steps:
Create or learn something new everyday. It may be something as simple as below
A small drawing on a random piece of paper
An original one liner by you
A small article made of waste box or paper
A new recipe
A new thing added to routine
A timetable or routine for yourself noted down on paper
Trying to adhere to the time table created by you
A new word
A new concept
Before you go to sleep remember what you did or learn newly Today and what did you learn about yourself from that.
Do your own SWOT analysis
Strength - Inherent
Weakness - Inherent
Opportunity - External
Threat - External
Basis the SWOT do course correction on the way you are taking life and work on yourself.
Every different task and your response to the tasks picked by you will introduce you to yourself anew. Thus identified you can work on polishing yourself to be a better version of you. Keep ironing out the creases one at a time.
I have heard to achieve greatness we must put behind the "Me"... but this "Me" is the thing that has to be dealt with now..... only when I have dealt with me can I think about "You".
Work on being best "Me" you know.

The moments which make you feel like you can't walk further are the milestones that you will look back at and feel proud of when you have long since crossed them.

Soothe. Heal. Be kind.
It costs nothing, all you may need is a little patience and a little control on words and monitoring of your thoughts.
But the rewards include:
1. A peaceful sleep - nothing like it as precursor for a great new day.
2. Good will - we never know whose good will comes handy when we are stuck in tough situations but all of us have such moments of miraculous relief when least expected at some point in our life.
3. Friends for life
If we have not come across relief, peace and positivity and peace in past few days, months or years then it may probably be because we have not given the same to the surroundings.
Don't be tough on people in emotional situations, have a heart. Choose when to advise a person to toughen up and when to just caress his/her forehead with an intent "it's alright", "am there", "everything will fall in place".
The world is like a sea, what reaches the shore is something added to it by someone in some far off shore. Let's add good things from our end and start a trend and hope that others also add good things to the shore. Then all of us will end up getting only goodness, when we need.
The world is getting chaotic, some of us need to volunteer to bring in order and peace

This is all I can say ....

From where I am looking at it now, I don't know where to look to be able to see something. May be my life's going to be like a dream come true. May be my life's going to be miserable; but who can stop me from making it less miserable. I am not going to give up. I am fighting.

I hear and I listen too, but yes I want only to be heard not listened, so I talk and not speak.
I am going to fight with myself and the coward, the hypocrite in me, to earn every single penny that will help me earn, what people presume that I deserve, but I know within that I don't. Not yet.
She unlocks the door and comes home..
Switches on the lights...thinks of all the couples she saw at the super market buying grocery together... The picture of perfect lives; it must be nice to have someone to discuss how much and what to cook and shop together as per each other's liking? But then, she has herself too. She asked herself, "sweetest love, what do you feel like having for dinner ?" Then she really gave it a good thought and said "well how about Biryani...yumm? ". She smiled at herself and said "Biryani it is going to be. Let's Google it".
Love yourself, there is nothing that you can't do for yourself that a partner would have done. You are special. Make yourself feel special.....make that effort to prepare that elaborate Saturday dinner or Sunday lunch for yourself. Take yourself out for an ice cream or shopping.
Treat yourself.
Focus on this very moment, focus on what will give you peace and take you smoothly to the next moment. Life is lived in moments.
Give yourself a chance. The best part is you can always be sure that no one is going to spoil your plan by a "no show".
Love yourself. Take care of yourself. You can always count on yourself.
Pray to the power within you.

Is the world still a good place to live in?
This thought struck me while sipping ginger tea and biscuit in a bustling tea stall during my evening walk.
I saw a man who had lost his legs walking up to the nearby stall to enjoy his Set Dosa. Aw. ..the zeal to live fully. These are small battles for life, for self and then there was the shopkeeper lady making sure nothing to this man's  taste is left wanting. A human helping another to live fully.
I saw a guy keeping biscuits for an ageing dog. One life trying to preserve another.
A young couple caressing a dog who looked at them with longing eyes to be petted. Two lives sharing from their overflowing cup of love with a third life, thus multiplying their own love. And increasing the life of their love by sharing more than an admiration for each other; sharing an admiration for life with its small and big blessings like the reciprocation of love from an innocent animal.
Strangers making sure that you are not uncomfortable as a woman in a crowded tea stall and making space for you to place your tea cup so that you can enjoy a dip of your biscuit in tea.
People defending authors on social media against hate comments. Thousands of motivational quotes.
I got my answer. World is worthy :)

You are winning

You think you have me just where you wanted  That you, through your consistent coldness, have successfully trained me to give you space  If ...
