Simple thoughts

Nowadays the definition of relationship has changed from what it used to be. Nowadays people don’t have a relationship; they have what we call  “hook-ups”  since no one has the time for anything serious. In a world that is devoid of commitment, it not so uncommon to find dissatisfied and lonely people. Even those people who prefer to have a meaningful relationship find it difficult to escape the pain that comes along with loneliness. We jump into a relationship because we cannot stand being the only single person in a group. Sometimes we become so frustrated with being lonely that we accept any guy who comes in our life without even considering the consequences. So you should stay single until you meet the guy who actually cares for you and makes and effort to put you first. Stay single till you meet a guy who holds your hand in public and isn’t afraid to be seen with you. He should be proud of you, that you are his girl! He should be shameless about his love f...

1. LOVE IS NOT THE SOLUTION People tend to think that love will somehow magically sweep away all their problems in life. Let me tell you, it isn’t so. Love cannot fix your problems and neither can it directly fix you. It can only make it easier to get over the difficulties in your life because you have someone by your side to lean on. 2. IT WON’T MAKE PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP ISSUES DISAPPEAR You will have to work on your past relationship issues on your own terms. You’ll have to work on your self-esteem and your current partner should not bear the burden of it. Most people think that in order to forget the previous partner that  (supposedly)  hurt you, you have to jump in another relationship immediately. That’s not the way it works. It always takes time to heal, especially when you’re hurt from love. 3. NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY There is no textbook rule to love someone. There is no right or wrong way because each relationship is different ...

Time and tide wait for none as the famous proverb says. It is only when it is too late that we begin to realize on all the opportunities for self-actualization that we missed in our lifetimes. The greatest way to end up in your old age is to live with no regrets. Don’t make your life something that you might have done in hindsight years down the line. We let unimportant things or people waste your precious time. Value the importance of your own time and spend it wisely. Do not lavish it on selfish, egotistical or negative people. Guard it safely as if it’s a treasure because it really is the only treasure that can be spend, but not taken back. I cannot explain it better than Steve Jobs: “When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If toda...

When it comes to the types of people in our lives who are simply not good for us, manipulators rank among the top most toxic of all.  They’re the individuals who care only about themselves  and who stop at nothing to get exactly what they want. As such, a manipulator will always selfishly place their own needs, desires, and emotions first when making decisions and they won’t think twice about using people for their own advantage. They are relentless in their quest for personal power and success which is why they’re so manipulative, deceitful, and bad to be around. If you’ve ever had the misfortune of having to deal with a manipulative people then you should be well aware of just how exploitative and driven they can be. By  knowing their tactics and how they operate ,  you can counteract the negative effects of their behavior and protect yourself. Here are 10 ways in which manipulators use others to their advantage: 1. YOU’RE BEING EMOTIONAL ...

We all are accustomed with the idea of soulmates. This idea originated from  Plato’s Symposium  where Aristophanes was of the belief that humans were eight-limbed creatures with two heads. The Gods split them in half to reduce their power and humans were reduced to weaker beings, constantly feeling incomplete, without their significant  “other half” . Your soulmate is the other half who completes you and together you represent a whole circle. In present times, this idea has been revolutionized into a romantic ideal of the perfect  “one”  we’re always in the quest for. Similar is the concept of the invisible string that binds us and the person who is just the right one for us. If ancient legends are to believed, this string is not only invisible but also unbreakable. According to the legend, this string is tied to our ankles by the Gods so that no matter where we go or how far we’re separated by distance, we shall always be connected to the ones...
