Valuable lessons I learnt from my mother. She died on the 26th of September, last year, 2023. I miss her everyday. I pay tribute to her through these life lessons. • Unconditional Love: My mother taught me the importance of loving others without conditions, showing me that true love is selfless. • Resilience: She inspired me to be strong in the face of challenges, demonstrating how to handle difficult situations with grace. • Empathy: My mother instilled the value of understanding and caring for others, teaching me to be compassionate and kind. • Hard Work: My mother's dedication to family and work often serves as a model for perseverance and determination in achieving our goals. • Humor: The ability to find joy and laughter in the mundane, reminding me to appreciate life’s lighter moments. • Wisdom: Life lessons about relationships, choices, and personal responsibility came from her experiences. • Tradition and Culture: She pass down family traditions and cultural values, helping me to understand my identity and heritage. • Self-Care: Encouraging me to prioritize my well-being and instilling habits that promote a healthy lifestyle. • Beauty and Style- She taught me the essence of beauty and the meaning of style. To focus on quality not quantity of things. • Taking it easy- to take it easy in the face of adversity. • To get into the trenches and fight for what I want if it was called for.

Embrace Every Day: A Lesson from Tintin and Snoopy In a heartwarming exchange between two beloved characters, Tintin and Snoopy, we find a profound truth about life. Tintin says, "We live only once, Snoopy." To which Snoopy wisely replies, "Wrong, we die only once. We live every day." This simple yet powerful conversation reminds us that life isn't just a single opportunity. Each day is a new chance to live, to learn, to love, and to grow. It's a reminder that our existence isn't defined by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. So, let's not wait for grand events to celebrate life. The small joys, the daily victories, and the simple pleasures are what make our journey worthwhile. Let's make every day count, for it's in the everyday moments that the essence of life truly unfolds. Live boldly. Live fully. Live daily. Because life is not a one-time event, it's a daily celebration! #LifeLessons #DailyInspiration #SnoopyWisdom #TintinAdventures #MakeEveryDayCount

These 5 things changed my life. (And there’re FREE):   -Forgiving---------daily -Showing kindness----daily -Affirming someone------daily -Sending a thoughtful Dm--daily -Making someone laugh-----daily   And all these cost $0   Sometimes, people only need:   -A hug, -Someone to talk to. -A genuine friend who cares.   Much more than the shiny objects.   Remember, Life is too short, so: -Love. -Give, -Forgive.   Just, make. Every. Moment. Count. PS. Tag a friend & add a kind note to them. I will go first.  

Practicing #grace: how does one practice grace? When misfortune hits our lives, we can use it as an opportunity to practice our grace. Whenever I reflect on my own life, I received a lot of grace from others, including family, friends, and strangers. But what grace have I given? The harmony is in between giving and receiving of grace. The way we react to negative situations or energy. The ability or lack thereof to forgive in a misfortunate situation. How we handle our daily melodrama can reflect our grace. In our business and/or work relationships - grace can be practiced through professional, compassionate work environments. If you discover that any circumstance is upsetting your peace on any given day, consider whether it presents an opportunity to demonstrate grace by responding to it differently than you might have in the past, which would have only made the situation more chaotic. By doing this, I found myself being grateful not only for the blessings but also for any sorrow of life. Appreciating the beauty and the ugly of our human experience. With this awareness, I'm finally able to react proactively to whatever situation life may present. The goal is not to treat every situation as an opportunity for an altruistic lesson but more so to learn to dance with the peace and the chaos of life equally. To embody equanimity. I still have a long way to go in mastering this, but the journey is well worth the effort, and you can see the results in the smallest of details. Much Love #thepoet. 

3 amazing lessons my CAT gave me before she went to the other world… Brave, my cat – independent, a little wild, and filled with more courage than most. Brave taught me things I didn’t even know I needed to learn until she was gone. Here are three lessons she left me with, ones I carry every day. 1. Happiness is within - Brave never needed anyone to tell her she was great. She’d curl up by herself, content as ever, teaching me that we can be whole and happy all on our own. 2. Keep moving - Whether it was a leaf, a toy, or just an invisible speck of dust, Brave was always on the prowl. She showed me that staying active – physically, mentally, emotionally – is the key to staying alive. 3. Have fun – unapologetically. Brave didn’t care if I was watching or if anyone else approved; she played because it brought her joy. And whether someone’s there to join in or not, life is too short not to enjoy it. Brave may have been a small part of my life, but her lessons are here to stay. Here’s to being enough for ourselves, keeping a little wild in our hearts, and living every day just as Brave did 🐱 #lifelessons #inspiringwords

How can a couple live happily ever after like in the childhood fairy tales? Sadhguru answered; Oh! The childhood books were written by silly people. Okay? Who never were happy in their own life, and they believe that they will meet that ideal woman or man and be happy one day. No, if you are not happy by yourself, if you meet another person and then take the burdens of another person close to you, you will be even more miserable in your life. If you are joyful and your life is about sharing your joy with another person, it may multiply. Two people together can multiply the joy. Two miserable people need and think that the other person can make them happy, well miseries will multiply. -Sadhguru Joyful people love to share their best to the world. Joyful people are blessed. Joyful people are friends with everyone and everything. Joyful people are productive in their life. Joyful people live in truth. Joyful people live with unselfish love. Joyful people are easy going and open minded. And so on.

Be the master of your life. Life is all about the art of arranging things correctly. It is possible your understanding of life may be incomplete, that it may be faulty. but as the matter of fact,nothing in life is useless. Were you to know this art of arranging your vices could be virtues. For example, your anger would be transformed into compassion, your hatred would be transformed into love. You can turn a friend into an enemy or an enemy into a friend in the same way. It all depends on whether you know the art or not. No one else is ever responsible for anything that is wrong in your life. The fault lies somewhere in your arrangement of things. Giving proper and correct form to your life is the real task.

Common mistake many of us make: 👇 Thinking that “what we do” is “who we are.” This is far, far from the truth. It’s a form of mistaken identity most of us go through before fully understanding our purpose in life. ➡️ “What we do” to earn a living is not the same as “who we are.” ➡️ When we can make that distinction, we are much more likely to feel peace, love, and joy. ➡️ But when we don’t make that distinction, we’re more likely to experience lack of joy, non-fulfillment, and ego instead. “Who we are” is a divine connection to something much greater. Many people think their life purpose is to accomplish something in this world. But we don’t realize that we are creating something in every moment of our lives. Your Life Purpose... -Is something you do in every moment -Resides within your thoughts, your conversations, your actions and your dreams -Is not only what you do, but who you are -It shows up in the outcome of everything you do There's nothing more amazing than seeing that realization click and shift perspectives.
