Believe in the force within that tells you to keep going despite all the odds. Learn from mistakes and correct your actions for a better tomorrow.  Comparisons ruin peace of mind. While pursuing dreams & desires one is bound to face challenges. Keep alive your aspirations & hope. Remain engaged with parents and family members, their insight into your problem may offer solution. Do not let your present moment dilemma take you on a guilt trip.

Bless & encourage your daughter to fly high with all her confidence and resilience, sky shall be hers. Issue is not what you aspire but what she desires. Let her tell you without inhibition what her goals are. The challenges she faces because of her aspirations & continuous struggle, thereof force her to make choices which might shape her life. A normal care giving & stable upbringing will help her handle the reality of life in a non-judgmental way. Parents need to keep in check their acts/behavior that symbolizes partiality towards the son and indifference towards the daughter to let her mold her future prospects. She is in no way indifferent from son. Despite our culture of praying Goddess, most of the individuals consider daughter to be a burden and liability. The reason behind this attitude is the curse and not the gender. The unwarranted controls & restrictions in her upbringing lead to suppression of feelings & emotions. These pent up emotions whenever erupt, results in devastating repercussions for the individual.      

 

Arguments and bickering over unmet needs ignores each other’s vulnerability & results in conflicts. The anger, bias & prejudice associated in the conversation make one uncomfortable. The attention seeking behavior, uncertainty, insecurity, anxiety distracts one from being humble in appreciating other’s individuality and the need for flexibility. One must be aware that he/she is ultimately responsible for their actions & consequential pain and humiliation. Like self for whom you are and have faith in what you do without offending other’s sentiments.   

 

Lack of self-control of the racing thoughts makes one react impulsively and adds to stress, aggression & pain. Patience with self, people & situations, trusting everything, rather than impatience expecting instant gratification, brings peace, confidence, compassion, acceptance, respect & dignity to our handling of life in the middle of challenges. Impatience makes one exhibit different levels of irritation, anger, anxiety, fear, doubt or judgment thereby looses the power to tolerate, adjust or accept. The mind tries to control things which it cannot and becomes restless. The turbulence in mind affects mental health.

Everyone in life have dreams. Different ideas coexist in a person and are instrumental in generating various thoughts and emotions. One cannot fathom what can exactly inspire, an idea gets stuck and one pursues & chases the same despite the impediments. Survival is easier said than done but life does not end in the face of challenges for a determined, thoughtful and hard working person. Reality is intriguing. Take a stand for what you believe in and quietly go with flow of your life in an unbiased and reasonable manner.

Consistency is important to survive in any field. Believe in self, focus on your goal, take the first step (the hardest thing), take risks, celebrate small achievements and have the zeal to keep getting better & better. Do not let conditions beyond your control, other’s opinion & criticism affect mental peace and distract you from discipline, dedication, hard work & trust in self.

Jealousy, an emotion that makes one crib & complain, leads to suffocating emotional & mental drainage. Feeling a little bit of jealous is quite normal and stimulating in case one practices gratitude & compassion. In order to calm the restless mind make peace with your inner self.   

 

Person always finds a reason to differ with your opinion. Other’s expectations sometimes burden so much that at times one finds people extremely difficult to deal with. Giving in to fear & anxiety limits one’s choice to respond. Words are powerful transmitters of feeling & have the potential to hurt which affects emotional state. One may lose interest in own life to an extent, difficult to imagine. In order to experience peace & inner stability while handling concerns & demands of others, carefully listen, be tolerant & humble and then speak slowly & confidently. Be your good self, carry positive energy inside self & focus on playing your role in the best possible way to the best of your efforts to bring harmony in relationship.

 

Experiencing lows in life makes one confused, loose self confidence and raises the level of uncertainty & insecurity in mind. The traumatic imagination about where current events are headed to, how bad is it going to get & how it will affect you makes one nervous and feel scared. One starts questioning own credibility and is engulfed by self depreciating emotions.  It is the onset of depression. Consult a professional who helps one release the racing thoughts that interfere with one’s resolve to succeed, are judgmental, causes confusion, doubt self, feel ashamed & critical of failures and restructure the emotions to deal with internal conflict and maintain good mental health. 

One goes about in life planning for the future and then complaining if plans do not materialize. Know nothing is in one’s control. Control is an illusion. Hardship & struggles turn out to be blessings in disguise in case one looks at the brighter side, learns the lesson and starts afresh optimistically. Reflect, build mental strength and reboot personal growth.  Live in the moment, be grateful and feel blessed for whatever you have in life.
