There is a famous one-liner by Theodore Roosevelt "Believe you can and you are halfway there". Inspired by the same, I am here with yet another motivational article on the demand of our readers. Even I love to write about life mantras, because, this my friend, this little space is where I get to have a one-on-one conversation with you and leave an impression on your soul.


Sadly, you are not a complete human anymore, you are turning into a sheep in a herd that makes no difference in the world. It's not even your fault. The peer pressure, the people around you are solely responsible for this because managing a herd is much easier for them rather than managing each person individually. The education system, the corporate lifestyle that has been encumbered over you, has made you nothing but a mule prepared to carry shitload; and the worst part is that this shit is not even yours.
You are losing that sense of individualism. Trying to be someone else, maybe like the majority and wasting your own self. With the loss of individualism, you are unknowingly compromising on something. Guess, what? Yes, your 'beliefs'.

The best thing with children is the way they believe in something, the way they hold onto it. No matter what, children cling to their beliefs just like a teddy bear. Remember the time when you were a kid, what were your beliefs then?  Well, when my cousin was young, she believed that Santa Claus was real and that he would come to visit her every Christmas. On the night of the Christmas Eve, she would go to bed early like any good girl only to wake up next morning and find chocolates beneath her pillow. Yes, of course, her parents left the chocolates under the pillow, but for that little girl, Santa Claus was the happiest truth. Every ounce of her believed in it.

Then the worst thing happened, she grew up. With the childhood, gone was her unmoved conviction. Maybe for her, it wasn't that big a deal. But since I was the silent spectator to this change, I realised a big thing that day. A 'belief' of a child is fixed like the Northern Star, a child is too stubborn to change it. But only when a child grows up, he dumps his beliefs in the dumpster because he is asked to do so, by all the grown-ups. Growing up isn't bad, but what it does to us is the real bad thing. It screws our belief system.

Abracadabra and welcome to adulthood. With just a snap of your fingers, this so-called 'adulthood' is slammed on your face, unannounced. Now you are supposed to behave like them, the 'grown-ups'. There is a sudden u-turn in the way you think or feel about yourself. From "Yes, I can do this" dude, you convert into a "No, I cannot do this" loser. You stop believing in yourself, you stop taking the risk. And your dreams remain untouched and locked in some corner of the wardrobe of your heart. I just want to ask why? Why do you need to grow up? Why can't you just pretend to be a grown-up, while being that child who is too stubborn to give up on his beliefs?

I want you to be that kid again. Don't lose your beliefs, please don't give up on them for they are too special. If you believe in something, your belief will help you to work for it, overcome all challenges that shall come in your way. Be fond of your beliefs and they will be fond of you. I am not bluffing. Your belief system is directly associated with your brain. And the brain is mysterious and powerful. It can do things that are beyond your explanation. Also, studies have found that 'beliefs' can literally make things happen. But this is not always true because at the end of the day we are humans and our beliefs can be misguided or outright wrong.

Now comes the most important topic of discussion, do you believe in yourself? Do you believe that you are here for a reason, for something big? If you do not believe in yourself, then how can you expect others to believe in you. Everybody on this earth is here to serve a purpose, even you. That purpose is yours to decide. You can choose to be a dumb sheep or a roaring lion. If you choose the former, you will forever live in the shadows, but in case you choose the later, you will leave a dent in the universe. Choosing the later won't be an easy way out, it will demand many sleepless nights, a resolution to work hard, lots of patience because good things take time and most importantly an undying belief that you can do it, and eventually you will shine brighter than a diamond, and the world will be the witness.

"First think, second believe, third dream then finally dare", and you are ready to conquer the world.

What is individualism?

Today most of us are on a desperate lookout for love, why wouldn't we! After all, 'they' say that love is the most beautiful thing that could ever happen to us.
But in a couple of minutes, i am going to brainwash you and pull you away from your 'finding love' expedition and set you on a quest of  'finding your soul friend.' So, Sit tight, grab a bucket of popcorn and try to make some sense out of my words.

You must have heard of soulmate, in books, in movies, while gossiping with your girlfriends, somewhere or the other, right?
Soulmate is someone who completes you, who is your other half in every possible manner. Sometimes this soulmate knocks your door, and you find him right there without any effort. Sometimes you get nada even after looking through binoculars. All i want to say is, why struggle to find a soulmate when you can have a super cool soul-friend in your life.
The concept of soul-friend is quite eccentric, i know, but believe me this is what you need in your life right now. You have had too much of 'Dilwale Dulhania Lejayenge' and it has completely jeopardised you, and you need some 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' in your life.
No offence to the DDLJ fans.

See, you can have just one soulmate in your life, but you can have as many soul-friends as you like. Isn't that amazing?
The probability of finding a soul-friend is zillion times more than that of a soulmate. I am not blabbering, i can back my conjecture.
Okay tell me, what are your prerequisites for a soul mate? If you are a girl of twenty-something age then you would want a guy who is handsome, sensible, smart, well-mannered, well-settled, treats the elders well, knows how to praise you and the list is never-ending.
If you are a guy then you would want a girl who is good-looking, matured, independent, well-cultured and your list is not as long as the girl's list that i mentioned above, but it is not that short either. I am not accusing you of being picky, one should always be demanding when it comes to finding a partner.

When you go to an ice-cream parlour, you skim through all the flavors one-by-one, you take your time to finally choose the one which you think would be perfect.
And here we are talking about finding a soulmate, the same flavor for all your life(and you can't even dump it in the dustbin if you don't like it), so you got to be picky. There is nothing wrong in it.
If you think i am talking out of context, then you are wrong and let me tell you why!
I am trying to emphasise on the fact that we all have a set of terms and conditions for a soulmate, but how many checkbox do you intend to tick when u make a friend ? The answer is 'none'.
If he is good with you, you are good with him. You don't go through his family background, his qualities or his intelligent-quotient. There is just one thing that you need in a friend- a 'good understanding', and that's pretty much it.
Just consider your friend circle, is everyone in your friends, just like you? No they are not. It is quite like a chalk and cheese composition. One takes ketchup with his pizza while you don't. One reads Chetan Bhagat while you are into Sydney Shelton. One listen's to Jagjeet Singh's ghazals while you like metallica. Still you never complain because no matter what, they are with you whenever you need them and that's all, no quality test needed.

I hope that, you are now convinced on the matter that finding a soul-friend is much easier than finding a soulmate. So without wasting a second, lets move further. Now i will talk about another perk of having a soul-friend over a soulmate. If you are on a lookout for a soulmate then you will come across many people, go through different relationships, survive many breakups before you finally meet the right person. And the worst thing about a breakup is that, you do not lose a relation but you lose the person as well. From being each other's apple of the eye, you will turn into total strangers because it is quite difficult to be friends again(atleast that's the case with me).
So you can skip all this pain, agony and drama by simply opting for a soul-friend.
Even if you fight or abuse each other, you will still find strings to return to each other.
There is nothing in the world that two soul-friends can't survive.

"A soulmate knows all your best stories, but a soul-friend has lived them with you". Go Joey, find your Chandler if you haven't already because I have found four of them and it's beautiful to have them around.

Let's begin with something very common- stress, we deal with it everyday. But do we really know how to deal with it? 

There are days when you are gloomy, and you don't feel like doing anything. You end up spending the entire day on your bed, scrolling through the social media, nothing constructive. This plethora of sluggishness is one of the many symptoms of stress.
If i am not wrong, to deal with stress you talk to your friends, or your parents, or listen to some happy music, or eat something that teases your taste-bud. Different people, different ways.
But the big question is- How often do you talk to yourself? You must be wondering why am i asking you this!
For that matter, just keep in mind 'everything you need is already inside you'.
What i am trying to say is, stop depending on people. This journey is yours to make, everyone is eventually going to leave you, and you will be left with just one person- you, yourself.

Be your own friend, own supporter and own guru. Make yourself strong enough that when things are falling apart, you can take a deep breath and pull yourself up. I am not asking you to detach yourself from the people around you, all i am asking is to build your inner strength so when the days are cold, you don't have to go out looking for warmth. That is not an easy task, i know!

See, depending on others is not a bad thing, it shows that you trust the people around you, you rely on them. But there is no guarantee that they can be counted, and no guarantee that they are worth your trust. Dependency can have many repercussions. It can lead to expectations, which often leads to disappointments. So, this forms a chain of events, and the person standing at the end of this chain is you. So, at the end of the day, you are going to be hurt and awful.


Human mind is not merely a body part, it has a persona, it has the power to control things. Don't let your mood be a slave of your mind. There is nothing positive or negative, out there in the world, everything is in your head. Mind can play tricks. Suppose you are happy, it will take just a moment to make you upset about something that is not even relevant in the present, and vice-versa. Now its your time to take control over your mind and once you learn to do this, you can turn the tables for yourself.

The first and the foremost thing is to be a leader, not a follower. Be a leader atleast in your own life.
For that you will have to take a stand for everything that happens in your life. Then comes your problems, you need to understand that everything is temporary, even your problems. Your problems will vanish one day. And you will be the person to make them disappear from your life. Whenever there is a problem in your life, instead of thinking about all the people you can consult , think about all the probable solutions. Out of all those solutions, one solution will be the answer to your problem, and it is your duty to find that one solution and do whatever it takes.

Now the next thing to do is- 'Stop selling your life'. Yes, you heard it right. Over the years, you have developed a habit of whining over every little thing that happens to you. You have started enjoying when people discuss your life, when they sympathise you. It is not a commodity in the market, it is your private thing, it is your life. This very moment, remove it from the reach of others.

As i have discussed above that mind has a persona, treat it as a completely separate entity, your sound self. When you are vulnerable, when things in life are not right, discuss life not with the people around you, but with your sound self. Talk to yourself, whenever you are alone or before going to sleep. Introspect your deeds, your problems and you will definitely see yourself growing.
I know these things are a level up, and i may sound a little crazy, but believe me, it works like magic.
Try doing it for a month, and see the change in your personality. It will make you more confident and a better being.

Take command. Try living your life, crutches free. Try being your own guru.

Behind this bond which grows stronger with time is our parents.It's them who teaches us to love and care for each other. From them, we learn that we are a family and family is to be loved and cared for, also its only family that holds you when you fall and stand by your back.

So, next time if you laugh at your parents secretly with your sibling don't forget to thanks them for making your bond so strong.

We usually wonder what is so special about this relationship and end up with a beautiful smile. This smile is the answer in itself.

The relationship of the sibling has a different essence, it's a relation that can replace any other relation, an elder sister is no less than a mother neither an elder brother fails to act as your father at times.

Younger siblings are also not less, they always stand by your side against everyone, they make sure you are never alone. 

Sisters always have a shopping partner, brothers have a partner in crime, and when it comes to brother-sister they always have a partner to guide whether its shopping, gaming, love or friendship. With sibling every aspect of life is great, they are your teacher, guide, a motivational speaker, a secret keeper and best of all your life summary.

The books that we read, portray love like a fairytale. But in reality, it is no less than an Enigma.

Very few find the absolute meaning of love, others end up cursing it. It can be a nightmare for many, when tangled and twisted.

This article is for all those boys who think that girls are way too demanding and high maintenance, and above all, confusing.

We agree that girls can be really difficult sometimes, so here we have complied certain tips following which might bring you closer to your bae.

Daydreaming is detachment from one's surrounding for a short period of time. In day dream we escape from the surrounding mentally and enter a land of virtuality where we can fulfil all our freaky fetishes. Daydream takes us to the land of fantasy which is filled with happiness, positive thoughts and is ambitious.

Daydreaming is super fun. All those who have experienced it would definitely agree. There are innumerable experiences when one daydreams from childhood to adulthood.

It's fun not only because it gives you a taste of ecstasy but also because it helps one to escape from the boring schedule of life. During, daydream we get a ticket to achieve what we wish in reality. It is fun because we are the god of that world, the ultimate "creator" and have complete power to do what we want. An innumerable time a person dreams. Let's revive our experience of daydream and take a tour from childhood to adulthood.

Do you remember, how you fooled your mother when you were daydreaming with your books opened and she was proud of you that you studied so long?? Wasn't that treat of sincerity, the most memorable experience of your life?? 

And that scolding too which you got when one day she finally found out that you were daydreaming through all this time.

 That moment of daydreaming, when you were interrupted by a question from your teacher who already knew that you were in another world(present physically but absent mentally). And your friend saved you.

Those clueless moments when your mind walked out from a meeting which declared a new working plan and your colleagues were discussing over it and you were completely dumbfounded for what had happened.

Daydreaming is not harmful rather it is considered a sign of creativity. It is found that daydreamers show a high rate of enthusiasm and creativity in their work. Daydreamers are more responsible towards their work as they work towards getting what they dream. 

It is found that most of the scientist and inventors were fond of daydreaming. Also, daydreamers are successful writers, painters, dancer, etc.

An amazing instance: A successful author of a bestselling novel was fired from her job as a secretary due to day dreaming, and it was prior to the time when the world acknowledged her as an author. Any guesses?
It is none other than J.K. Rowling, and she was fired from her job before she gave wings to the amazing wizardly world of Harry Potter.

So, next time if you daydream, you need not hide it, accept it proudly. It might be a step towards your success. Just work sincerely to turn your daydream into a reality.
