Adieu Addictions As This Is My Life!!! The term ' Addict ' refers to a person who cannot stop doing or using something, especially something harmful. It’s a Latin verb   addict   which means ‘giving over’ either in a negative or positive sense. Actually, there’s a restrictive definition of the word addiction since it’s linked with the use of drugs, alcohol or smoking, etc but this has a wider interpretation as well. Surprisingly, in today’s scenario, all of us seem in the ecstasy of being addicted for instance; someone has an addiction for drugs, someone has an addiction for watching pornography, someone loves watching television for hours, somebody is addicted of his/her lover, somebody has a craving for some dish, so on and so forth. Hence, there is a long list of addictions . So this is obvious, that we need to think beyond the traditional meaning of addiction . Why does this addiction exist? This is a decisive question, which we need to ask ourselves...

Beauty , what a wonderful world it is! Each of us yearns to achieve it. Our eyes love to see beautiful objects, our ears intend to listen to beautiful lyrics, and our heart wishes to have the most beautiful face, so on and so forth. It appears that life without beauty doesn’t exist. But unfortunately, we all often misinterpret the word ‘ beauty ’ since we are only familiar with the superficial meaning of this term. To  enhance outer  beauty ,  we keep looking for several methods. Here, I can give many examples that prove that we all are in the constant hunt for this  beautiful mirage. The situation aggravates when we get trapped in the false promises made by some newly launched cosmetic products, fairness creams, emerging  dermatology  centers, well-equipped  beauty salons,  and fitness centers, etc .  Phew! But in this search, we all forget about the  beauty that lies within. I mean, nothing in this world is devoid of bea...

Someone Special: Is it Love or Affection? I could see new young boys and girls strolling around on campus, giggling and having fun. All of them seem obsessed with how they looked. I mean they all were too concerned about their appearance and looks. Few of them seemed nervous, timid and very shy to open up. Naturally, it’s tough for most of them to cope with the new environment as they had come far from their families and cities for the first time in their lives. But after a fortnight, I find an entirely new scenario, as many of them seem to have found their dream  partner . The attraction for different sex is very obvious and there’s nothing wrong yet before we land up in a new relation, we should ponder about it a thousand times. After befriending with someone special, we don’t feel at ease since we keep thinking about him or her constantly. We don’t wish to part with him/her even not for a minute. Gradually, no relation seems as stable or firm as this newly formed rel...

I wish I had Known the Reality During My 20s!!! Energetic, vivacious, exuberant, and chirping students on college campus remind me of my college days. The wonderful days when we consider ourselves the conquerors as our minds are buzzed with revolutionary thoughts. We presume that we can achieve anything and everything and we all live with such thoughts constantly (probably till the age of 27-28). We really don’t notice when our dreams turn into nightmares. Our vision about success is entirely unusual since we think that it will come to us naturally. We intend to achieve each and every goal but without any preparation. Indeed, we have big and peculiar dreams but we're not fully prepared to fulfill them. Most of us are unfamiliar with our actual potential, real dreams, and specific plans to achieve those goals.   So, the best time of our lives is spent in following the herd (being the followers), making wrong choices, imitating what others are doing, ...

Friends, since childhood, it was my hobby to watch the eagles flying high in the unlimited sky. The most surprising thing about them was they could fly without flapping their wings. They seemed gliding lazily but once I read somewhere that while flying, it is actually very active and agile and if we watch its movements through binocular then we find its outer wing feathers and tail feathers in constant motion which helps it to steer through moving wind currents. So, making efforts to steer us in the right direction is mandatory since we can't attain anything effortlessly . During my training sessions, people discuss their problems such as despite lots of efforts , they are not able to achieve their goals and hence they are thinking to quit. Their impatience bewilders me because a new venture or learning a new skill requires patience, time, and lots of attention.   The secret to Achieve your Goals  Self-Belief Helps Us To Be Successful Actually, due to...

Everybody seems busy and occupied these days. Work is worship and we can’t survive without work.  Agreed! To live a fantastic life and to support our families, we’ll have to work longer and harder. Hence, our life is confined to certain boxes; I mean we all are trapped in a similar rut of life. Our day commences with commuting from our houses to workplaces and ends with coming back exhausted and worn out. So, having the same routine often aggravates our pain. Moreover, many of us return home with the unfinished assignments which are to be discussed the next day. Whenever we’re free, we keep scheduling and planning for how to succeed. We strive to focus on perfection in all aspects of our lives. In this whole process, we skip our meals very often without thinking about our health. We manage to take out time for our meetings but we find it tough to find out time for our health check-up. Where are we heading to? Should we be glad to see our constant growth? What about ou...

Someday, I’ll be Successful!!!! Dear Friends, How are you all? What’s new in your life? Well, while interacting with a diverse variety of people, I find a very common phenomenon and this is a desire to excel in life. As a motivational trainer, I feel on cloud nine to see people so desperate to achieve and to enhance their life standard. Indeed! We’ve all right to ponder about the ways to make us joyous, healthy, and well-intended people. But friends, does this ever happen? And the answer is this happens…but it a rare occurrence. Why? And the answer is because we’re not determined to make the requisite changes in our lives. So, my today’s blog is about why despite our best efforts, we’re not that successful. And the answer is we procrastinate . All of us seem exuberant, energetic, vibrant, and the believer to achieve yet we’ve not gratified with the pace of our success. So do we have a scarcity of talent, caliber or tenacity? Absolutely not! Friends, let me tell you t...
