Just a little something...

The list of my desires could stretch on infinitely, yet I’m not talking about the endless allure of material possessions. There are plenty of shiny objects and trendy gadgets out there, but I find little appeal in most of them. My true longing lies in the simplicity and peace that come with basic comforts, like a warm cup of tea on a chilly evening, a good book, or a heartfelt conversation with a friend—things that make daily life a bit sweeter.


So, what are the specific things I wish for but cannot attain? 


Let’s take a moment to explore the depths of our minds and uncover those elusive desires, shall we?


We all have that unique yearning for something special—the kind of dream that, if realized, could fill our lives with warmth, happiness, and vibrancy. For me, it’s the dream of a cozy home filled with laughter and peace of mind. To be able to read only positive news around me, and maybe the ability to spend more time with loved ones or a deep-seated passion that we can pursue without restraint. 


Yet, in the grand tapestry of life, I realize that I have been blessed with more than I could ever need. While I may yearn for certain things, I also recognize the abundance already surrounding me. Each day, I take a moment to reflect on the joy and gratitude that fill my heart for the blessings I do have, inviting you to do the same. To be in gratitude with what we have, and to find our niche in what is being offered to us by the universe.

Let’s be grateful for the blessings we have. 

While it’s natural for our minds and eyes to wander towards that little something that we believe would make our lives complete, let’s quiet those thoughts by reminding ourselves that we already have everything we deserve. 

So, enjoy what you have, fostering a sense of appreciation. 

Since desiring for just a little something will just tickle our senses and cause us to get irritated over small stuff making us forget for what we already have.

What are you so Proud of?

We all need a  little bit of  Pride to live a worthy life.

However, if this Pride reaches a certain level, it could turn into Ego. 

Alas, the route is down hill for a person surrounded by Vanity. He will suffer mentally and emotionally, which could turn into a physical torment.

Knowing the level of pride within is very important.

A certain amount of pride will help a man sustain amidst all the turmoil he faces. This pride will make him get up when in shambles. It will be his stick to hold on to, when surrounded by negativity.

What is that pride within you, that makes you get up and get going each day?

I take pride in being an intelligent human. However, the day I forget to gratify my existence, vanity will take my pride over.

Mantra for today: Gratification and Pride go hand in hand.
