Growth Rituals

"Never give up. No matter how hard it gets, just stay strong and never give up on life." I've been hearing this sentence from my family and the people around me ever since I was born. As a child, I never understood the meaning of it so it didn't really matter. But, growing up, when I slowly started to understand life, the hardships, and the commitment to grow in life, I finally grasped the meaning of never giving up.  I was determined that I will never give up on life. But, despite that, I stood weak in front of my own determination. No matter how much I tried, somehow I was always ruled out by my emotions rather than my will and determination. It's funny to think of just how easily I gave up at times when I felt defeated or when I saw no ray of hope along my way. So, I used to think that the whole idea of never giving up on life is a scam. It's not possible like not at all. But again, I was proven wrong. I mean, I used to see and meet people who were so v...

"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going." - Jim Ryun Firstly, As the quote suggests, if you want to develop a reading habit then the first thing that you wanna do is to motivate yourself to read. And, to motivate yourself, you have to know the factors that motivate you.  Confused? Okay, let me simplify it for you. Just stay still, think through, and answer this question.  "Why is it tha...

You will have to agree with me when I say, Public Speaking or Communication Skill, in general, is one of the most valuable skills to learn. It is essential both in your personal and professional life. But, you will also agree when I say, Public Speaking is also one of the most dreaded skills. The moment you present yourself in front of the audience: "You feel a chill down your spine, your mind turns completely blank, your heart starts racing, your blood pressure increases, you feel intense anxiety, you fear if you will mess up, your hands and legs start to shake, and your voice starts to quiver." But, you're not alone. In fact, 75% of the population is estimated to be affected by public-speaking anxiety or simply put Stage Fright.  Woah! That's a lot.  Honestly, lucky are those, who are born speakers.  But, Don't worry.  Overcoming the fear of public speaking can be challenging but definitely not impossible....

All of us, at some point in our life, have encountered Negative People .  Anyone who drains your positive energy, and continuously makes you sad, angry, and depressed are the negative people in your life. These people could be either strangers or closed ones like friends and family. There's a famous saying that goes by: "A rotten potato spoils the whole bag" You definitely do not wanna be a rotten potato nor the one to get spoiled. So how exactly do you deal with a negative person and continue living a positive life? The answer is simple: Distance yourself from Negativity. Let me tell you a short story: I grew up as an introvert. I always enjoyed my own company, kept every moment of happiness and sadness to myself, and most importantly I always avoided people. But, the person I was back then and the person I am today is completely different. Even though a part of me will always remain an introvert, today I am more outgoing, I reach ...

Who thought that 2020 would be such a disaster? But here we are. By now, I’m pretty sure that most of us have already lost count of the days since we’ve been self-quarantined. Our sleeping schedule, eating habits, and overall life in general right now is a mess. The only thing that we profess is, “I’m so bored.” Right? But, have you ever wondered to yourself: Every day we wake up to news about the death toll rising due to COVID-19. People are dying, starving, and families are being apart. There are people working in the frontline, people working for the citizens and the country to make the situation better. How desperate they must be and how they wish if they could stay home, protecting their own life like all of us. Amidst this chaos, the fact that I’m writing this, and the fact that you are reading it actually means that we are extremely blessed to even just breathe and stay alive. We are locked inside our house (hopefully with family), ...
