Peace, Joy, Love; INSIDE ME

The Joy of Living Joie de Vivre,  a cheerful enjoyment of life. I have shared my journey of how I find the treasure, you can read that blog here . In this blog, I want to share that we cannot escape from all the challenges and hardships in our life, but we can change the way we look at them. Peace, Joy, and Love are doing verbs. These are actions, not nouns. Happiness too is an energy that can be sensed only after bringing out its essence to life. In quarantine, I have learned a lot about myself and still learning. I was telling myself I cannot escape the ebb & flow of life. I was repeatedly telling myself a story that was building my reality. I was finding the answer to how can I escape this? Now I know, there is no answer. I need to drop the story and enjoy this very moment with gratitude and compassion. When we go down (the phase of the lower wave in the ups and downs of ebb and flow) we must not forget that in this phase, we must have faith that this too shall pass. And wh...

The other day I was outside playing badminton with my friends. After a while, I thought I should take a break. So I quietly went towards the swing and just started swinging.  Image source While I was observing my surroundings, I realized that the wind embracing my skin is making me more and more conscious. As I rose higher and higher towards the sky, a moment came when the world around me became secondary and the trees, the wind, and the sky captivated me. I couldn't help but cherish the very beauty of nature. I still reminisce about it. A place where all my worries go away when I swing with my eyes closed. Everything fades away, I swing and I swing away. There are magical moments scattered throughout every day, sometimes we just need to look up and slow down long enough to experience them...

  Ted-Ed  a platform to learn new things about life. So, I saw a video on Ted-Ed about what if what we imagine becomes the reality. Here's the video. Imagination, the power to create.   We often imagine things that are, sometimes, in this world is impossible to be. As a child, I used to imagine the outer world, life beyond the sky. It is unbelievable that we can create things that we have never seen before. My submission for "Imagine If..." Imagine if the sparkling lights that twinkle in the sky at night are gigantic fishes or giant fireflies roaming in the ocean of space. #weimagineif   https://t.co/qMsleyUw00  via  @TED_ED   pic.twitter.com/HvHlOhQLNe — Jayant Yadav (@dancsingflower)  July 5, 2021 Through creativity, we can create anything. Through curiosity, we can find anything. Through imagination, we can see the unseen.

  My Dear Diary - Popie I can shake off everything as I write,  my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn. - Anne Frank. I call my diary Popie. to me, writing is a way of talking without making any sound. I started writing a diary in high school. Back then I used not to share my feelings with anyone but my diary. It was like no one will understand the phase I was going through.  Image source Now, when I look back at the pages which are holding my past character, It feels like I have changed a lot, like a whole new person. And the credit goes to my dear diary Popie. She was the first being for me who taught me how to let go and how things will change, change for good.  Thank you Popie for holding me in the times when I thought I belong to nowhere. I love you, Always and forever.

  Spring, the season of birth, the season of love, and the season of joy. Spring is a season of a new start. When mother earth wakes up after a long sleep during the winters. As a child, throughout the winters, I always used to say I like summer and vice-versa in summers.  After waiting for more than 6 months spring arrives. Image source For me, spring is an emotion that mother nature uses to show a pleasant mood. Flowers bloom with new leaves on the trees. I love this season, I love every season but there is something special about springtime. It defines me. I am somehow connected to this time of the year. The more I love nature I came to realize there is so much to love in this world. And love is everything we have to give as a soul. Even in the depths of winter,  I found there was within me  an invincible summer .

  In this blog, I am going to share my experience of the journey I had in finding myself and how I went through madness to find me. As I grew up, the meaning of life for me started unfolding, the finding begins when I entered my teenage years, I can remember that I use to admire people who have that charismatic personality. And I always wanted to become someone who is loud and expressive. In short, I wanted myself to become someone that I know I’m not. There were times when I was so upset about my life due to this reason only that I was stuck at an Idea of success that was not aligning with me. Due to this, I felt lost, disconnected, and hopeless about myself. I couldn't even tell anyone around me how I was feeling because there was something else that I was holding. I thought people will judge me and all these self-doubts were drowning me in a void. When I look back at the pages which are holding my past self in my diaries, It feels like - wow I have changed a lot in these past fe...

Do we really know the definition of confidence? Today, January 21, 2021, I saw an incredible video by Ted-Ed on youtube. Since our childhood, we all have been told to be confident whenever we feel nervous. When we grew up we face situations that may trigger once stability. Our parents, guardians, and mentors say "Be confident" but what is confidence. Is confidence a synonym of fearless or is it something else? Do we know the definition of confidence?  In my opinion, confidence is not the synonym of fearless but becoming fearless.  Knowing what must be done, does away with fear, this is confidence.  Our greatest glory is not in never falling  but in rising every time we fall.
