Are You Willing To Take The Plunge?

I am standing on the balcony of my house, observing people walk. Some are on their phones, some are walking with their chin up, while some are walking with their SO. They all seem clear of what they want from life or at least from the angle that I am seeing them from, they don’t seem confused. 
And I am standing here, thinking what am I doing in life?! Is this what I want to do?! Do I want to continue with this monotonous job? Am I not meant for something big? As a kid, I always wanted to stand out by doing something unconventional. Cut to present, I am doing something that I am least passionate about only because it helps me pay my rent and EMIs. The big question is till when? Till when will I just sail through?

I read many articles each day on how you must ‘follow your passion’, but none of them is motivating enough. The safety associated with my current job deters me from taking the risk of following my dreams. Fortunately or unfortunately, I am not alone. There are many more sailing with me in the same boat, isn’t it?

I understand that it’s tough to pursue something that you are unsure of. No matter how many complexities confusion creates, it empowers you in more than many ways. It opens doors to many opportunities. It helps you align yourself with your passion. It empowers you to finally ditch the boring ‘corporate’ job and explore uncharted waters. All of it will happen only if you are willing to take the plunge. It doesn’t matter if you are not earning a 6-digit figure, what matters the most is the satisfaction of doing what you love. You will burn your 6-digit income on ways to soothe your satisfaction of doing something you love. At the end of the day, it rounds up to one thing – we, humans, can be happy only if we are satisfied. You could spend the rest of your life doing something that you don’t enjoy and then burn your money to satisfy yourself or just do something that you love and live a content life?


Remember, even when you decide to follow your passion, you will struggle. You will feel unappreciated. You may even be tempted to give up and go back to the job that fetches you more money, but honey, please be gentle and patient. Success does not come overnight. You will be required to push yourself even further. Run the extra mile and you will have all that you want. The probability of living a more satisfied life is higher when you are willing to put in a little more effort than the usual. If you are a fighter, you will get through the initial slump and come out as a successful and happy individual.


Life is all about risks, whether it is about jobs or relations. Choices and risks that you are willing to take shape your life. If you have faith in yourself and you an appetite to take the risk, then you will sooner or later achieve everything you have dreamt of. You could either live with the remorse of not following your passion or dare to dive. What would you do?!

DOING WHAT YOU LOVE..!! :) :)

DOING WHAT YOU LOVE…!! <3 <3 <3 We generally daunt of what would people say after our acts. We care a lot about our reputation in the society, don’t we? But have you ever thought why we think about others when others don’t matter more than our own selves. Is there anything above self respect, self worth? For me NO..! If I can face myself in the mirror then I wouldn’t care for what people say about me. I really think there is no need to think what others envision about you, you have better work in life! Doing what you love would give you one assurance that whatever your life is you are responsible for it! You won’t blame others for things happening in your life! You wouldn’t miss anything that you deserve when you will start listening to your heart! I remember when I was small I always thought; people say they are busy, engrossed in their own problems then how do they get time to make judgments about people? Don’t they have better work in life? If we base our acts on what othe

RESPOND THOUGHTFULLY!

Is there something that is eating you up from within? Is there anything that is causing you pain or keeping you from your happiness? There is always something or the other that constantly keeps vexing each one of us. And these flusters hurt the soul and summon misery. It is like a vicious cycle of life. Negativity begets Negativity! But it's in our hand how we respond to this! If we react in a trice, we will definitely fall in the trap of this vicious cycle! There is prodigious difference between a reaction and a response. When you act without thinking rationally, it's reaction. Response is when you calmly analyse and then act in a sensible manner. The difference between reacting and responding is choice! Haven't we heard, "jaldi ka kaam shaitan ka kaam!"  When you have a brawl with a friend and they say something offensive, don't you feel like promptly snapping back at them and showing that you're no less? But This will only ruin your relationsh

That's your worth!

You don’t need his validation, you don’t need his love,  Loving yourself is your own behove. Forget what people are going to say, never lose your way,  Paint your life with bright colors, don’t let it stay gray. Nobody can love you the way you yourself can,  You’re the strong woman who needs no man! Be like the sunset, it just doesn’t care,  It continues to be magnificent, even if there is no one to glare. You might have had a horrid past,  But that day wasn’t your last! Your pain, your struggle defines who you are,  You are the moon, do not compare yourself to the stars! Set your heart free, don’t tame your soul,  You don’t need anyone, you’re one whole! Great bright future lies ahead, all you have to do is take a plunge, Your happiness lies in you, it’s time to get out of the grunge.
