    The real deal about dreaming?

    by
    Today, I did post on Instagram my picture with a quote saying, “I am grateful for each breath in and out”.


    One of my Insta friend said “Life in every breath”. As we started conversing he also shared one of his readings, which goes like this – “Think about your goals and dream in life and think how your actions are helping you achieve this dream. All your actions should only be in service of achieving this dream.”



    So, we all have dreams – don’t we? Some dream of having a family, some dream about their career achievements, for some it’s their startup, product, loved ones, traveling around etc.

    Types of dreams are endless; the point is having a dream first and then taking actions towards achieving it.


    That made me think. Most of us have dreams, but then how many and how often do we work towards achieving it?

    Isn’t living about living to fulfill our dreams?


    So, what actually happens? Let’s take my example, one of my long-term goal is – before I die I want to build a school/ shelter for orphan age kids. Say even if I am able to give minimum 15 kids a home, family & education I will feel that I accomplished my dream.


    This has been my dream, the time when a kid I adopted from an orphan age died due to AIDS at a very early age. He made me realize what it means to give shelter and a family for an orphan.


    After speaking to him, I realized I do have this dream and I believe strongly about it. But what am I actually doing about it? Absolutely…..Nothing.

    At this stage I don’t have a plan where I want to start this school, how much will it cost to buy & build a school. How will I raise more money & how will it sustain in the long run.


    So, let’s not get lost in my dream & it’s planning complexity. The question we need to ask is…what’s the purpose of our living? What gives us that motivation to wake up & concur our days?


    They are dreams because they are not going to be easy, so we need to put in every day some effort so that we fulfill our dreams. We need to invest time so that we get closer to our dreams.


    Else we will find our self going as the wind blows, living a meaningless life & when we will look back….we wont be happy about how we lost control over our life.


    Let me end by asking you to practice 10 mins act. Spend min at least 10 mins to work towards your dream – let it be researching, reading, posting content, and practicing… anything related to your dream.  With this you will slowly bridge the gap between making your dreams come to reality. If we can dare to dream, with our daily efforts we can for sure see them getting real.


    Cheers to all the dreamers! Good Luck!
    Never stop dreaming and more importantly don’t forget to keep working towards it on daily bases.

    Rising Red Tide of Change : 3 Progressive period products making waves

    by

    As I got up out of my warm bath this morning that I took to soothe my period cramps since my Shark week start was brutal, I started to ponder the evolution we have seen in the feminine hygiene market lately. Are we finally evolving to using better products since the 80’s and 90’s tampons […]

    Happiness?

    by
    It’s such a simple word and equally difficult to triumph.
    Why do I say so?

    Well, because I wonder

    Is it something that I need to chase?

    Is it something with in me to feel?

    Is it something that I need to pursuit?

    Is it something that I need to do to feel it?

    Is it something that certain acts can assure you?

    Is it a movie, hobby, music, people, as few quotes say?

    Or

    Is it just something you can just keep aspiring for?
    So, is happiness a question or an answer?


    Well I might sound a bit confused, lost or profound at this moment. That’s because I am searching for answers and trying to kill the debate that’s going on in my mind.

    So, if you think you are happy and you are blessed with happiness… try answering the question for me.
    Nothing guarantees happiness – money, love, family, friends, good job, health none of them. You know why? Because, I have all of it. More than I want. Still I am here wondering….

    Seth Godin says “An alternative is to be happy wherever you are, with whatever you've got, but always hungry for the thrill of creating art, of being missed if you're gone and most of all, doing important work.”
    How do you balance gratitude along with the greed to be the best & have the best?

    I think I have encountered happiness very often, but when it’s gone… why does it leave me empty? Tell me why, having such a blessed life I am still conjecturing about happiness. Is it normal or I am I missing out something?


    Is it too much when I am asking nothing more, but to be happy, as we all wish?

    It’s not really a thing I can boast of, but…I pack really well. I am a great PACKER.
