Dark Chocolates

 As this year I had vowed to have a rise in positive thoughts in my mental system, I have seen the stones turn around. This doesn't mean that I do not have my lows anymore, but for sure I feel that am attracting positive energy and a lot of laughs. Thus, as the month is ending I decided to jot down a pretty list of things I am grateful for. I am grateful for the opportunities I had,  Grateful for the people who pushed me down, Thankful for the ones who made me smile,  For they made me see all who I could be, And the all who I wasn't till then. I am grateful for I am better, because of my experiences, Thankful that I know the worth of the small things, Am glad I know how precious friends are, And that I cherish every single phone call. I am glad that God gave me a chance, To see how beautiful life is, When you are around people who are full of lush, And who are full of laughter. You know what I am happier about? That I want to keep my friends so close, for I lost them once...

Did you know that on average, a person has 12000 to 16000 thoughts in a day?  Of course, we don't remember all of it. Writers need to put down their thoughts on paper, right there and then if they find them interesting. Or blippi-ti-bloop the thought will be forgotten, and might never come back.  It is evident that not all our thoughts are worth thinking anyways. Sometimes, they come in a cluster which makes it impossible to be in the present. Who is being harmed by this? You, right? I listened to a Sadhguru video a few days back, where he told, how we can use our mind for happiness. Instead of belittling ourselves, we can create stories or scenarios that may or may not come true, but at least will serve the purpose of cheering us.  Unfortunately, most of us let our minds rule us, instead of us being the one in control of it. We are human beings, and yes, we shall get upset from time to time. But, it's our mind that pulls us into depression. So, why not use our minds for ...

"Anxiety" might be a commonly used term to describe the state of restlessness. These days it seems like no one is "peaceful" anymore. When I met my college friend after a long time, I recalled who I used to be. Our view used to be the same and those were of being "satisfied" with whatever you have. It was about being happy in the moment for all that exists. But as time has passed by and new dreams and goals have developed, I seem to have lost a calmness in my heart. I might smile and be polite, but inside there is a havoc, I feel. A dire need to achieve something golden or to get recognized for a good work. Today, while I was writing an article for a website, I realized maybe it isn't about reaching your goals, but more about working on your skills to achieve those. When everyone says that you need to promote your talents, we forget that we need to improve them as well. Practice might not be enough, if we aren't paying detailed attention to it...

When I woke up this morning, I found a letter below my pillow. I realized it was not only for me, so I had to create a blog and spread the message. To     All people clinging to despair, This Christmas I am going to gift you happiness, not with a present, but with some of my words which could help you get away from your sorrows. Sometimes in life, people are sucked into the dark hole of negative thoughts. Human beings tend to get addicted to this form of darkness and stop trying to come out from their grief. It is easier for them to enjoy this newly built, low self-esteem. They do not realize the fact that it's leading them nowhere but only weakening them and killing them with each passing day. If you wish to be happy, my child, you must have a calm mind. You have to learn how to be content with what you are and how your life is. After all, life never provides you with everything you want. Everyone has slipped or has been unable to fulfill their utmost desires, ...
