Wordless Wednesday #107

We have been getting showers, and the result is not only relief to the soil and the souls, but we have seen lot of rainbows too!

Whenever I notice one, I always feel that a fairy has sprinkled some pixie dust, and voila!

With a New Year around the corner, may we all embrace these colors in our lives, and eliminate the darkness, the negativity by transforming for the better!

Mantra for today: Benevolence can only be followed if there is appreciation within.

Wordless Wednesday #96

When the weekend dawns;
Hoi Polloi take a breather,
mull upon their transports.

Appreciation,
Gratitude, Obligation.
Thus, clean and apprize.

Mantra for today: Appreciation for an object can also keep one grounded.

Live a Little

Inspired by the above title, as I am juggling through a list of things at home and still have a pending To-Do list at work.

The Result:

The pressure is driving me crazy and make me communicate less to my better half. Tea time is the time to sit and share a little laughter's in the morning, but instead I am juggling my cooking and getting my kid ready for the school, which I am pretty sure can wait as I used to. Time is valuable, and I want to finish my deadlines but still don't to lose control of my duties at home.

Today, I write this memoir to remind myself that this kind of life will not come again. Let the pressures around me not distract me to sit and live a little of MY life.  

Duties, Responsibilities, Work will never end. What will end is my youth and my vigor to do stuff and if I don't make memories right now. I will not have anything to live by when I am old and haggard.

I gotta step out and enjoy nature walks and maybe click a few pix to keep nature with me. I also sometimes like to go to Pictimilitude and enjoy the nature captured by Cyndi.

Appreciate nature, appreciate people, appreciate time. Time will also appreciate your presence and help you get productive.

Mantra for today: Appreciation

How often do you Challenge yourself?

Challenges can either draw inspiration or it can make an individual go into one's shell.

Why?

Humans are scared of failures and many don't like it. Although we have heard that failure is a stepping stone to success!
But, who has the time to fail and then try again?

Because in this rat race, if we meet failure at one challenge then our buddies will move ahead of us, while we will be trying all over again. Correct?

Ponder on this

We meet with failure, we know the pros and the cons of failure although success is not yet tasted. But, the second time, the chances of us making that mistake will be less and we will be climbing a step further on that ladder towards success.

Success if it comes slowly, never goes into one's head. Appreciation of one's hard work makes one feel proud of our achievements in a modest way.
An individual who is grounded, will succeed 5 times more than a human who has won a lottery with a click of a button.

Challenge yourself daily on meeting your small milestones of the day. Feel proud of it at dusk even if it was an inch progress. It will make you confident and look forward to another day everyday!
