Things that life has taught me so far.

How to deal with “Why me” situations

Everybody has those, no one has a life so meticulously sorted that nothing but good happens. So every time you have the aforementioned feeling, let’s look in the direction of Charlie Sheen. Lucky now, aren’t we. That guy has some issues.So it’s imperative you move past them. Stronger, brushing the dust off.

How to handle the “nobody loves me” moments.

Not true. People love Lady Gaga too, and she is a FREAK of nature. Be yourself. Someone somewhere will love you despite your imperfections. In some cases they’ll not even hold your perfection against you.

Dance like no one’s watching.

When you let go of your inhibitions, you can really know what you’re capable of. And even if you wind up making a fool of yourself, heck, at least you won’t spend the rest of your life in anxiety. In the context of dancing, it’s way too much fun.

Telling someone how you really feel.

Enough said. Why would you want to miss out on the opportunity of having something possibly wonderful just cause your rationale won’t accept it?

Pets are awesome listeners.

They don’t judge. Their heart is pure. And they have no cruel intentions. They can’t communicate in a language that you can understand and their feelings are latent but their love is real.

P.s : So DD, it’s time you learn to love them :)

Music heals.

There’s a song for every mood. So if nothing else helps, music will.

Being open minded is crucial.

You can possibly lose out on the best things in life by being a judge of everything around. Open your mind, and you’ll really live. Open your mind to the eating food you’ve never eaten, listening to the songs you’ve never heard, DANCE if you’ve never before, make friends with people who you think could never be your friends and living the life without boundaries.

Chocolate helps.

Science has proved it. I was never the one to disagree. But for all you non believers, proof that God loves us.

Smiling is contagious.

I disregarded this as the greatest myth of all time till I realized how true it is. You smile at me ( i won’t think you’re crazy) I’ll smile at some one else and the someone else does it to someone else. It’s contagiously awesome.

Snap it up.

Just because I couldn’t come up with something clever, doesn’t mean you waft pass this one. Memories are amazing. Evidence of memories, even better. It’s important to mentally and physically capture moments. Moments of everything. Carry a camera. So that you can look back and relive. Collect movie tickets ( i collect fortunes from cookies too), remnants from an awesome day, anything and everything that can remind you to what a wonderful time you had.

Karaoke.

Try IT. and LOVE IT.

Run, work out, work hard.

Your body is a temple. It’s sacrosanct. It deserves to be nurtured (after all the alcoholic destruction :P) Work out. It’s good for you.

Be happy.

Because you need to be. Someone out there hopes that you always will be.

=) Love

Untangling the tangled

How often do you ignore the minor tangling in your earphones only to get frustrated when you have to untangle a huge mess at a later point of time (Usually when the tangling makes it impossible to use)? Often in my case.

Life can be perceived as a set of earphones. The more we wait to solve the minor issues in life, the more we live an unhappy life. The more we choose to ignore the minor issues, the more frustrated we get at a late point in life.

So, whats the solution?

It must be intuitive by now : Get rid of the minor issues as they come up. Ignorance is a disease. Act and solve the problem as it comes.

Putting away these minor issues thinking that they too little for your attention is a dangerous thought. A thought which should have no place in our lives.

It is important that we unplug from our day to day lives and sort out the small little things which have been bothering us. These things will let you to a path of self-realization and happiness. Life isn't about reaching a desired destination, it is about enjoying the journey to that destination. Don't be so caught up to reach that destination that you forget to enjoy the beautiful part of life : The Journey.

Starting today, heck, starting NOW, sit back and think about the possible issues in your life that need your attention and have been ignored because they are just too small! Unplug yourself from the world, recreate the magic in your lives. Do whatever you should in order to solve these issues and stay happy! Choose your way!

After all, who doesn't love a perfectly untangled earphones.

After all, who doesn't love to live a happy life.

Control

How many times in life have you felt frustrated?

How many times in life have you felt helpless?

How many situations in life have made you fill with anger?

How many situations in life have made you feel worthless?

All these situations have one thing in common : You were trying to control something that is not meant to be controlled by you.

You have to understand and accept the fact that you cannot control everything.

The sooner you let go, the happier you will be.

All those feelings can be avoided if you just try and perfect whatever is in your control.

Hard Work. Determination. Positive thinking. Diligence. All these will be required to perfect things that are in your control.

Once you learn to ignore things that fall outside your spectrum, you guarantee yourself a peaceful and a happier life.

So, the next time you feel frustrated, angry, helpless or worthless, just try to divide the situation into things that fall in your control and things that are outside your spectrum.

Once you have done that, work on the things that were within your control and completely forgot about the others. (Get up. Act. Execute. Change it.)

(The division can be achieved by asking yourself the simple question : Is it in my control?)

For example -

You can do nothing about a closed one's death! You just got to accept it, pray for them and move on! However, the one thing that is in your control is to express your emotions. Don't bottle 'em up. It will explode. So, just express these emotions. (Thank you EternallyBuzzing)

Don't fret over the fact that a relationship is not working, instead do whatever you can to make it work :)
