“Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.” - Andre Gide

“Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now. And that's a revelation for some people: to realize that your life is only ever now.” -Ekhart tolle

When you stop thinking about impressing others, you become less susceptible to peer pressure and more authentic.

"When you're happy, it's as though the entire universe is conspiring on your behalf and presenting whatever you need in the moment you need it." -RHONDA BYRNE From The Greatest Secret

"Existence wants you to be you." - Osho

Being yourself means being authentic and not hiding your true thoughts and feelings.

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."

Choose to increase the volume of the voice that supports you and decrease the one that holds you back.

“Nothing kills the ego like playfulness, like laughter. When you start taking life as fun, the ego has to die, it cannot exist anymore.” -Osho

Your life can change for the better when you smile, even during the toughest of times. When you smile, even the most difficult problems can seem insignificant.

“As soap is to the body, so laughter is to the soul.” - A Jewish Proverb

“Be so busy Improving your self that you have no time to criticize others.” - Chetan Bhagat

“When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself.” - Earl Nightingale

“The meaning of communication is the result you get” - Richard Bandler

When you are trying to express yourself and wondering why the other person isn't understanding you, try to communicate clearly and without any filters. It's unrealistic to expect someone to read between the lines and understand hidden meanings in your words. Instead, try to communicate as if you were meeting this person for the first time, and be patient in your communication. “Maturity is when you accept that everyone has their own perspectives”

is important to be mindful of our choices in terms of food and the information we consume.

the person who takes the extra step of exploring themselves and their abilities, tend to live a more fulfilling life.

Change happens to everyone, but only a select few truly evolve. The individuals who evolve are those who do not seek comfort, but instead, strive to discover their true abilities.

“Change is inevitable, Growth is optional” - John Maxwell

“Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?” - Martyn Lloyd Jones

Education without instilling humanity can lead to a future generation that is cynical and selfish.

“We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost… The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all.”

It's important to find balance in education and instill values such as kindness and empathy, so that the future generation can coexist on this planet.

“We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.” - Dalai Lama

"Support your soul to express and experience things in this world, Never be the one who is blocking yourself”

It takes courage to let go of the ego and tap into our soul.

Trust me, when you stop listening to the ego and tap into your soul, things start to flow.

Close your eyes, calm your mind, and listen to what your soul wants to express through this life form. Be the medium through which the universe can communicate.

"Flow is an optimal state of consciousness, a peak state where we both feel and perform our best. We become so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you're using your skills to the upmost." - Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

“Fear and self doubt have always been the greatest enemies of human potential” - Brian Tracy

"the problem in the current world we live in is that good people are feeling inferior, while those causing harm to the world are walking with complete confidence."

You need to stand up for your views, believe in yourself, trust your instincts and trust in other good people in this world. When you have confidence in yourself, you become an inspiration to others around you. This ripple effect slowly grows, and it becomes a massive wave. It takes time, but the change will begin with you.

“Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.” - Jim Rohn

our body is the medium through which we experience this world, and it should be our utmost priority to take care of it.

We are all going to experience death; it is an inevitable truth. No one has ever escaped it. As we age, we will experience discomfort, but as you are reading this, you do have the energy. Don't take it for granted.

“The man who earns a million, but destroys his health in the process is not really a success.” – Zig Ziglar

“Things are never quite as scary when you’ve got a best friend.” - Bill Waterson

it's not about having intellectually or financially successful friends, but having kind and good-hearted friends who expect nothing but your presence.

If you have kind souls in your circle, keep them close. These people may not be wealthy or intellectually accomplished enough to help you in your career, they may not be physically close to you, but when there is a need, their emotional support will give you the strength you need. Boy: "What is important? The journey or the destination?" Wise man: "The company" Cherish the kind-hearted people in your life, they will help you through the ups and downs of life.

It’s not possible to stay positive the entire life, and hey, that’s ok!

Not resolving the past conflicts is like carrying an explosive with you everywhere. Once you resolve it wholeheartedly, you will simply defuse it. If you don't, you will never know when the bomb will explode and it may hurt the ones close to you.

The first step starts with you, Self-reflect with yourself to come to a conclusion, Respect the other person’s viewpoint and forgive them.

“The purpose of life is to be restored back to Love, moment to moment. To fulfill this purpose, the individual must acknowledge that he is 100 percent responsible for creating his life the way it IS. He must come to see that it is his thoughts that create his life the way it is moment to moment.The problems are not people, places, and situations but rather the thoughts of them. He must come to appreciate that there is no such thing as "out there.” - Ihaleakala Hew Len

I'm not sure how or why this happened, but many of us can admit that we've started taking life too seriously. We search for meaning in everything we come across, we want to know the exact path to take, and we become unhappy when faced with obstacles. I am no exception to this; just because I am discussing this topic, it doesn't mean that I haven't taken life seriously in the past.

Stop planning every move and focus on being happy in the present moment, doing things that bring you joy. Allow ideas to come naturally. When you approach life from this perspective, things become easier. Life becomes manageable. The greatest gift we've been given is the ability to think and act on our thoughts. Let's use it for our benefit, instead of worrying.

"Take Life Easily, Lovingly, Playfully, Non-seriously. Seriousness Is A Disease, The Greatest Disease Of The Soul And Playfulness The Greatest Health." - OSHO

don't think existence wants you to be serious. I have not seen a serious bird. I have not seen a serious sunrise. I have not seen a serious starry night. It seems they are laughing in their own ways, dancing in their own ways. We may not understand it, but there ...

"Some will, some won't, so what? Someone's waiting."

"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." Buddha
