All the things that we do in our lives, we do, expecting for a favorable result. Even when we do something selflessly or unconditionally, the truth is , deep down , we all expect a bit of an acknowledgement from others. When things don’t turn out to be the way we expect, disappointment shrouds us, sucking away all the pleasant thoughts. Hence, our entire life is a tale of expectations with the morals of disappointments. We humans, always stand on a pile of expectations. But what we never expect is the fact that there will be times when we stagger. Sometimes, life leads us to a different path than we expect. There will be times when our hard work doesn’t pay off. At times,we may fail to fulfill the aims that we set in our lives. So, everything doesn’t always go as we planned. Yet, we cling on to our expectations. We stick to making plans and sketches of our entire lives. Life is not always going to be the way we dream about it. We stumble, we fall, we fail, we crash and we even...

 

No. I am not. Neither are you. No one can always be correct. Not all our deeds are justifiable. Our behavior is not accepted by everyone else, all the time. Why? The answer is simple. There is no strict standard for ‘right and wrong’. It depends on various factors such as our bringing up, our morals, the outlook we have towards the world, the society we live in, the influence of religion, the circumstances that shaped us, our experiences, our attitude towards life and the list goes on and on. It differs from individual to individual. So basically, we can’t point out right and wrong in others’ sense of right and wrong.  We are all different persons. Different souls; different bodies. Hence the way of doing things, looking at things, thinking about things, differs from person to person. On what ground could we possibly judge if something done is right or wrong? In generic terms we may, but strictly it is not possible for, what we think is right maybe wrong for the other person. ...

It's okay to be scared of things known and unknown; Not all of us were courageous since the day we were born.   It's okay to be selfish; to put yourself first. That's what we humans do; first we quench our own thirst.   It's okay to be immature and act like a stubborn child We grow till our last breath  and learn along the way we ride.   It's okay to be different and make quirky choices;  run away from the crowd and follow our inner voices. It's okay to be mad when things take a different turn. Unless you let it all out, in your own flames you burn.   It's okay to be disappointed, when life plays dirty games. we have all got dreams and hopes- painted inside fancy frames. 

          Most of us easily fall prey to provocation. No matter how highly evolved we are, we still have difficulties minding our own businesses. We are still like those monkeys waiting for the cap seller to throw caps on us, so that we can throw ours back at him. But all we throw is crap. We are bothered about so may things in life and what is disturbing is the fact that we don’t even know how to ignore them.            Maturity doesn’t always come with age. Sometimes we have to work on it. Maturity is not a physical trait; hence, simply because one ‘acts mature’ doesn’t mean they are. Maturity is the ability to make peace with life; to handle things from getting out of control; to be stable even in adversities; to learn to be the bigger person.  Tame your Ego — Our Ego is so precious to each of us, that we can never ever see it crushed. Someone tries to mess with our ego and we are already hurt.We need to stop ourse...

Perfection means striving to be better at your each step. To be perfect is to be flawless. But can human nature really be beyond any flaws? Unless you are the Almighty God himself, of course (But it is still debatable). But being the humans that we are, we are programed to point out flaws in everything which doesn’t settle with our way of thinking, or our own way of doing things.  But if we think about it, it is this urge to get better, to improve, that we are here in this technology driven world. This spark for growth which kindles within, is the key element that has made innumerable inventions and discoveries possible. Without this thirst for betterment, we would still be where we were billions of years ago.  Contentment is being happy with the things way are; being satisfied with what life has to offer. It is a state of mind difficult to achieve but not impossible. The more you expect from life, more are the chances of getting disappointed. So when things happen in the leas...
