It's all a matter of Perspective

It is said that when in doubt, take a pause, look out and if needed do not hesitate to take a step back because stepping back doesn't always mean defeat. It is always better to give a little time rather than taking a wild decision and regret later. " The lion always takes a step back before pouncing on its prey. " Lion, in spite of being one of the laziest animals everyone wants to be a lion. It is because people have a really good image of the king. No matter how good other animals are, lions are the best, if you want to set high expectations from anyone. Most of the times we have lions, tigers, elephants, monkeys and other animals setting up pretty good examples, but last night it was an ant that actually taught me the same lesson that the lion did in the previous context. Generally we look up to ants as an example when the talk  is about ' Never Give Up ', but we can actually have a different perspective of the same, where let's assume an ant ...

It is all too easy to fall into unhealthy patterns of thought, but visualizing your inner critic can help... I often wonder whether we are to blame ourselves for all the problems that come our way or our stars?? Is it the lack of luck or just pure dedication and the courage to dream and not stop till you get somewhere? Why do we think negatively when we know better? I can't fathom what leads a man to be so negative that he forgets what an amazing person he is. Phoenix rises from the ashes, lotuses grow in muck, people lose their limbs and their lives to deadly diseases while we crib over just a few speed breakers life sets out on our path. I don't want to see people quit just because they have been fighting for too long. Because thinking negatively, expecting “the worst,” seeing the downside of positive situations, and even downright expecting failure, all convey a kind of backwards-thinking, emotional insurance policy.  It goes something like, “If I expect a tragedy, t...

Down in half time and struggling in defence, Came a break, changing the course of the game, Suddenly the sloppy defence started making sense, Tables turned, and the game was to tame the might, Then came a call, could have been a gamble, But we had to shine, And avoid the sport from being a scramble, Shine was on the mind and India said the game is mine. INDIA crowned as champions of Kabaddi world cup 2016. Hearty congratulations!! Well played IRAN hard luck. Started as an Indian sport and now it is known world wide. A proud moment!! Keep up the good work!!

We have this powerful sense that death is a transition, not an end. Why can’t we imagine a world without us? Let’s begin like this. Immortality is the indefinite continuation of a person’s existence, even after death. In common parlance, immortality is virtually indistinguishable from afterlife, but philosophically speaking, they are not identical. Afterlife is the continuation of existence after death, regardless of whether or not that continuation is indefinite. Immortality implies a never-ending existence, regardless of whether or not the body dies (as a matter of fact, some hypothetical medical technologies offer the prospect of a bodily immortality, but not an afterlife).  Immortality has been one of mankind's major concerns, and even though it has been traditionally mainly confined to religious traditions, it is also important to philosophy. A substantial part of the discussion on immortality touches upon the fundamental question in the philosophy of mind: Do souls...

“People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it.”                                                                                                 -Edith Schaeffer Do you treat yourself as well as you treat your friends and family? That simple question is the basis for a burgeoning new area of psychological research called self-compassion — how kindly people view themselves. People who find it easy to be supportive and u...

'Love for a particular thing', is the  first thought that strikes most of our minds when we come across the word ‘passion’ in our daily lives. But, is the word passion restricted to only the feeling of love? Well, let's look into a few more words that gives us an insight into the word passion. Hate, Enthusiasm, Anger, Desire etc. are also in some way or the other related to passion. It could be a strong desire to achieve something or enthusiasm for a much awaited moment or a strong feeling of hatred towards anything. All of these have a close tendency to match up and compete against the word 'love', when it comes to understanding passion, but love always wins. Let's start with how the feeling of hatred challenges love to define passion. It is said that there's just a small line separating the two feelings, the feeling of love and the one of hate. A few fictional characters are such that we love to hate them. For example: Mr.Collins from Pri...
