The Mindful Journey

  Some Nights Some nights, I feel pain. Words are so heavy I can’t carry them, So I speak silence instead. There is so much to see, so much to become. There are thousands of roads to overcome. Afraid of facing reality, What if it destroys me? Life is like a flowing river; Never be frightened of facing your fears. It will hurt so much, I know, But remember: nothing lasts forever — Neither joy nor pain. Don’t lose hope in despair. I know it’s dark, So pay attention — Maybe you are the glow. Some nights, I feel an emptiness inside me, Something needs to be acquired, Something bigger than me, Where language can’t reach. So, I breathe hope instead. Whose side do I choose, good or bad? They are killing my soul. Some nights, I feel I can’t take it anymore. I am so tired — Tired of searching for myself. I am losing my strength to battle against me. Some nights, I realize It’s an endless loop. There is no end, Only a beginning There Is a Light There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Whil...

  As the sun sets for the final time, I embrace the beauty of what was and the mystery of what comes next. There are days when you don’t like anything; everything seems meaningless. People are shouting, celebrating, and enjoying being young. Everything feels so good in youth — we are young, full of energy, dreams, aspirations, big ambitions, and a bright future ahead of us. Life is beautiful in so many ways. It has wonderful things to offer, but only if you go for them. We are all living in the circles of our lives, in different parts of the world. The only way to truly realize ourselves and explore this life filled with magical experiences, good memories, and an understanding of human nature is to step out of our circle zone. Life is mysterious — we don’t know why we are here until we reach a point in life where we either become believers in something, cope with faith, or keep wondering about our existence. I’m nothing but grateful. For all the things that happened and all the thi...

  Are we truly liberating as human beings? When we are young, we are free spirits, full of hopes and dreams, and full of naivety about the world. As we start growing up, we endure a lot of pressure to fit into society and culture and live in the cultural cocoon. Politics, taboos, the lack of value given to your opinion, and the absence of freedom to express yourself fully as a human being draw boundaries and create distant frontiers between one human to another. When we make decisions for ourselves rather than focusing on what we want, we constantly think about other people — what they will think if I do this. When we should listen to our hearts, we listen to people who are not part of our lives, people who do not add value to our character. Don’t live your life based on other people’s opinions. You need to make choices for yourself. You do not belong to them. Everyone is unique in their own way, and no one is superior to others. Do not limit yourself just because of what othe...

  Are you one of those people who have a hard time prioritizing yourself? We often  think that prioritizing yourself means being selfish,  but putting yourself first doesn’t mean neglecting others — it means taking time for self-care, setting boundaries, and treating yourself  with kindness.  You are as important as everyone else , and your needs are just as important as theirs. 1. Set Personal Boundaries It’s okay to say NO sometimes.  I learned this the hard way. A few years ago, I was always saying yes to requests from friends and colleagues, even when it drained me. I didn’t want to seem rude, but the result was burnout. One day, I decided enough was enough. I started setting clear boundaries — learning to say no when I needed to recharge. At first, it was difficult, but over time, I realized that taking care of myself allowed me to be more present for others. Saying “no” wasn’t selfish; it was necessary for my well-being. 2. Ask for Help When You Need ...

  Do you believe in the power of giving? What you give out to the world means you will receive something much better in return as a reward.  Everything you say, the things you do, the words that you choose to say, the act of empathy that you show towards other people — it all becomes part of the universe. Life has a way of paying back all the good things you show through different gestures that will come back to you.  We must become aware of our actions and the work that we do. The things that we bring to the world stay with us and become part of the universal soul of the world. We shouldn’t take anything for granted. Be thankful for the life you have, and spread kindness and empathy toward everyone. The Act of Kindness As human beings, what can we leave to this world? How do we want people to remember us? What should their impression be when they think of us? How do we want them to envision us? We will not take anything from this world, but what we leave on this earth is...

  In this time and age, it’s so hard to stay sane I  am finding it very difficult not to be influenced by the things that are not good for me unless I achieve them . And then you see millions of people on that path of power, fame, and vanity. You kind of want that power and fame, and you feel very unsatisfied with yourself. There are some people I know who are not affected by that kind of wealth. They live their lives on their terms and don’t get jealous of what other people have, instead finding happiness in small things. I think we are living in a very anxious generation . Our worth only proves itself when we achieve something, do something, and constantly need approval from other people, family, and society.  Your value depends on what your achievements are. And when someone from your family, who should be close to you and take care of your basic needs, always be there for you until you are capable on your own, doesn’t care at all — playing a neutral role in your life ...

  Reasons to keep going when life feels heavy I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life.”— Sylvia Plath Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you don’t see any reason for being alive, everything seems meaningless, colorless, lifeless . When your own people abandoned you when you needed them the most. The people once that were so close to you, now they are acting so strange, and you feel you don’t know them at all.  It can be heavy when those who are supposed to be with you, are not there for you at all. It hurts, I know.  When you feel your world is crumbling, you are having the worst feeling ever, and you have no one to look up to. You ask yourself what are the reasons for being alive with all those pains, heaviness, and carrying the burden of the bag...

  Looking Back at 2024 While Preparing for 2025 This year has been quite a journey, filled with life’s inevitable ups and downs. 2024 taught me some of the most valuable lessons I’ve ever learned. Now, as we stand on the edge of 2025, it feels like the perfect moment to pause, look back, and reflect on the experiences that made me humbler and more resilient and shaped me into a better version of myself. Let Them Be I was one of those people who used to get upset by other people’s behavior around me. Sometimes their actions or decisions affected me deeply. It took me a while to understand that I’m not responsible for their actions. We all have our consciousness. Whatever actions they take solely come from them, and we shouldn’t take them personally. Let them be. Set them free from your life, and you will feel an immense positive energy shift in your life. As they say, when the wrong people leave from your life, the right things start to happen. Live Your Life on Your Own Terms Every...

Taking care of your mental health is as important as your physical health. Most people understand the importance of having a healthy body, but many people overlook the importance of mental health. Taking care of your mental health brings you peace and positivity. Taking care of your physical and mental health is a must to live with peace, gratitude, and contentment. Here are 4 ways you can maintain your mental health and protect your sanity and well-being: 1. Building Self-Esteem In order to boost your self-esteem, you have to feel good about yourself. Do you like who you are as a person? We need to prioritize ourselves, give importance to ourselves, and nurture ourselves with love and kindness. Surround yourself with those who make you feel good about yourself. We can’t control what others may say about us, but we can control how we react to that. Be aware of your circle; don’t be friends with those who are toxic and only drain your energy. If people’s opinions upset you for some reas...
