Embrace Your Childlike Spirit for Growth

There’s a fine but powerful line between being childlike and being childish. One inspires wonder, curiosity, and joy. The other resists growth, avoids responsibility, and often invites unnecessary chaos.

🌱 Life is Simple — But It’s Not a Game

We often hear the phrase “Make mistakes, that’s how you grow.” While it holds truth, we must not glorify repeating avoidable mistakes. Growth doesn’t come just from falling — it comes from learning how not to fall the same way again.

Life can be easy when we:

  • Stay curious like a child
  • Ask questions without ego
  • Laugh often, forgive easily, and keep moving forward

But life is also important — and deserves our attention, respect, and care.

✨ The Childlike Spirit We Should Keep Alive

Being childlike means:

  • Embracing awe in ordinary things
  • Remaining open to learning and unlearning
  • Leading with heart before pride

It keeps us connected to our inner truth, even as we walk through adult responsibilities.

🚫 But Let’s Not Be Childish About It

Being childish, on the other hand, looks like:

  • Escaping consequences
  • Ignoring the impact of our choices
  • Justifying recklessness as “fun” or “freedom”

Maturity isn’t about being boring or rigid. It’s about realizing that freedom has a foundation — built on wisdom, discipline, and discernment.

🧭 Your Life: Light Yet Meaningful

You don’t have to overcomplicate life. But you also don’t have to treat it like a playground where nothing matters. Aim to live with lightness, but not with carelessness.

The goal?
👉 Be playful, not irresponsible.
👉 Be open, not impulsive.
👉 Be wise, not weary.

💬 Final Reflection

Mistakes will happen — they’re part of being human. But let’s not wear them as badges of pride. Let’s wear our lessons instead.

Be childlike in spirit.
Be mature in action.
Live light, but live right.

🔖 If this resonates with you, share your thoughts or a lesson you’ve learned by balancing joy with responsibility. Let’s grow, play, and evolve — together.

To Most Relevant ‘Things’!

“Comfortable shoes and the freedom to leave are the two most important things in life.” – Shel Silverstein

Regret, mistakes, past stories, break-ups, and every messed angle of your life is actually a chief beauty about time. Embrace both your darkness and lights. Just don’t lose that “muchiness” of yours. I recently had a realization, that an elephant has not really bitten many but everyone definitely has once been bitten by a mosquito; so, lesson learnt is that its little things that gets us.

Nothing will change if you believe your suffering is more important than what change has to offer you.

Here is the real problem; we let anyone’s opinion whether good or bad overpower our beliefs and then we complain why do humans judge? Technically, the amount of work is same in making yourself miserable or strong.

Our ‘extreme’ anxious self does not come from thinking a lot of future, but from wanting to control it. If I could do it over, I wouldn’t change a thing in my life. Because everything that’s happened has brought me here, it is my story. Now, I have learned (the hard way) that some poems don’t rhyme; and some stories don’t have a perfect beginning or end or even the middle. Life is all about staying in the very “NOW” without knowing what is going to happen next. Plan but don’t force. They say what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger. I don’t agree to it. I believe that things that try to kill you makes you angry and heartbroken. Your actual power comes from the good ‘things’: your family, friends, gratification and contentment of work that you are doing. Those things make you complete. Don’t get worked up over things you can’t change and people you can’t change. Holding on is a tough job, one should carry out only when you know it is all worth in the end. Be patient and keep calm to re-engineer your mind set; control only what you can. Everything Else… Let Go! Not all ‘things’ are relevant!

What is more important is to have a good laugh at your life story, realizing how far you have come, compare your teenage version in a photograph and look at yourself today.  That is the point of life – few people to share emotions with, a fair career, and ambitions to make it bigger and not quitting on self any day.

You Achieving Your Best Life is The Only Important Thing in Life! 

To Most Relevant ‘Things’ – YOU, and Your Happy World!

We Have Tomorrows For A Reason!

“There is a saying in Tibetan, ‘Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.’ No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that’s our real disaster” – Dalai Lama

Ever have of those days where you just can’t win?

Life to me is a journey of the moon; we must go through phases of emptiness to be full again. I know some days are just so hard but there is always hope in tomorrow. Today, it may be one of those days for you where you are hurt physically, emotionally, or mentally. Well if I put it in my favorite word formations; I will say it is one of those days when even my coffee needs coffee.

Maybe it is difficult but some walks we have to take alone. I know it does get cruel sometimes even so you must understand that to heal a wound you have to stop touching it and the logic applies to ‘one of those days’ or ‘not in mood days’ as well. If you feel you did something wrong, own up to what you didn’t do right and that is how you learn and earn respect within self too. Every so often we create a lot of troubles by either over-thinking or expectations. Well, it is not easy to detach from work commitments or people you love but at times it is necessary in order to restore your sanity, your mind and have peace.

With time, it does get harder for everyone to let it go, in spite of that when you do move on – you will realize it was the best decision you have ever made. Remember what Pooh the Beer said to Snoopy, You Live Everyday and Die Only Once!

You become a force when you accept what you are, admit your flaws, your actions and most importantly love yourself in the process of becoming.

Have Faith in Soul, Hope in Mind and Love in Heart! Have your own share of falling, rising, making mistakes, hurting and learning stories. It is all in mind; replace the word of being “brave always” with being “okay” or “happy”?  Not every day has to be a battlefield; someday it can be a rest day too!

To Everything, I’ve Ever Lost!

“The Trouble is You Think You Have Time” – Buddha

Life is a series of surprising and inevitable changes. We all feel lost sometimes. There are many decisions we have to make in life, so many responsibilities to cope up with, so much of the pressure we feel on how society questions our existence; our strength can sometimes become so clouded. As human beings, we want to know answers to all the questions, but I believe our lives don’t really work that way.

We worry about tomorrow…. Like it’s promised!

The best day of your life is going to be the one when you decide that it is on your own. You alone are responsible for the quality of it. There is no one to motivate, lean on or even blame too; for life becomes a gift which you embrace and it is going to be the best day of your life! It is the same old school concept we learned from trees that lose their leaves every year and yet stand strong for better days coming their way.

We can’t always predict how things are going to work out in the future. We have to trust the process and count on our family & friends when time gets tough. These emotions sometimes also signal that it’s been long you haven’t had sufficient time to connect with yourself. Take a short trip or even a walk-in nature from hustles of everyday life and routine, it will provide you the clarity you have been searching for. We experience the feeling of loosing even because we have lived through so many hardships already be it the jobs we hate, the city we don’t like to fear of controlling life against what will it unfold. We get so mentally paralyzed, but what we actually need to be is persistent, and don’t allow negative thinking to pull us back. We simply have to do the best we can with what we’ve been given, and just try our hardest each day to live life according to our own principles and beliefs.

To Everything That I’ Have Lost… I Would Thank You For The Lessons And Experiences. From regrets and pain, I set you and I free to fade and be happy!

If I knew what Love is?

“Left Unsaid with a Touch of Maybe, was Such a Chaotic Way of Hope” – Ventum

Can Love for Years Be Forgotten in Hatred of Minutes?

People say stories of love end after getting closure. But do we ever stop loving someone you have loved before? – This question cloaked my mind when I was scrolling some random videos on Internet. I was amazed on how too many perspectives keep me wondering, from Adolescent Love, to Commitment, to priorities of ambition over emotions and what not. I think you would be wondering this too…

Here are some favorite abstracts from readers around which I am sure you will connect as well! Happy Reading!

“It‘s really nice when people say first love and all. But if that was the right person and you actually love the person then the person would be in your life still. If he/she is not in your life anymore means you need to rethink on the value of love that you said had given to the person. And in worst case scenario the two people are separated due to any circumstances then I guess it is human nature that eventually slowly you tend to forget their memories and build new memories with others. It is how the cycle of life goes on. A person doesn’t even remember what they had for lunch or dinner 2 days back. Well, it is just the mind and it is naturally how it works” – Labdhi Daftari

True, love is not only warmth; it’s beyond. Cheers to Mistakes, Regrets and Lessons Learnt.

“You Can’t. Love is not just being together, you can be in Love but not in Relationship.” – Bhumi Joshi

For emotions don’t mean to fade but realise that holding on means pain. Life is all about being ‘balancing’ – that priorities, that emotions and above all satisfaction of very being.

“Actually we can’t forgive the one we loved but it is all circumstances and depth of love and respect for that person” – Saloni Vadher

Living with and giving respect is all we need and be.

“It depends on people involved. Some people do fall out of love when the rush and excitement of being around their significant other fades. This might happen because the strong sense of love you felt for a person was based in sexual infatuation — which is still love, I would argue, but a lesser kind. For others, letting go of those feelings of love is harder, due to their background or their disposition. Some of us also unhealthy hold on to love in unhealthy ways, such as by continuing contact with the person after a relationship has ended, before lingering feelings have been resolved. And one more philosophy answer is, everything is depends on the situation of both person involved into and definitely love is not only defined in human it might be possible some people fall in love with their pet a lot.” – Sachin Kakkad

Love is perspective, needs attention and is definitely more than just a feeling.  

 “No one can stop loving whom they loved before, people just pretend that to feel” – Parth Joshi

Like we say, love never goes, the emotions become a hazy memory locked in heart.

 “No, It is not much easy to forget the person whom we loved a lot” – Raj Joshi

“It doesn’t stop but fades gradually over the period of time” – Chirag Kalal

“Love shouldn’t stop for the spirit of humanity and friendship just equations and prorities change” – Parth Narania

“You never stop loving. Once you love someone honestly, truly, you will never be able to un-love them. You only find someone you will love more. At that time, your old love will not feel so strong, but it is a heart, it will never let you forget something that ever made you happy” – Kevin Mathew

This one happens to be my most favorite ideology of Love.

Well, love, how I see, is the gamble of priorities, emotions and perceive! Somewhere no one and nothing looses. It is simple Myntra of Life… It Goes On!

Let’s Talk Anxiety!

It is standard to feel anxious from time to time, especially if you live a stressful life. But for many people, anxiety is a constant companion, always lurking behind the next corner. An estimated 2-5% of the population is living with the constant worrying and panic attacks that define one of the most common mental illnesses: generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Millions more live with social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and other anxiety conditions. However, too few people discuss these openly. Mental illness still has a social stigma, causing many people keep their condition a secret.

Anxiety Is Real, and It Is Serious!

Don’t think acceptance of stress or anxiety is stupid. It is the threshold from where the disorder may kick in. All of those intense feelings of fear or urge of escaping or running away; losing control of the thoughts and actions, hot or cold flashes, feeling numb, or irrational thoughts; all of these are physical, psychological and emotional symptoms of anxiety. Take a moment now, stop and thank yourself for how far you have come.

Sometimes when anxiety hits, it’s hard to see or think clearly, and you just need something to bring you back down to reality, to know you are in control, and that everything is okay. You have been trying to make changes in your life, and all your efforts count. Find acceptance within yourself! Here I suggest some immediate course of action –

Learn who are your support systems, connect to family and friends, try to communicate and notice the ones that care shall help you through. Realize you WANT to GET BETTER, if you not determined for YOUR better tomorrow, no one can help you out. This has to be your biggest realization that you need to want to get better. Happiness is NOT an achievable GOAL, don’t think that happiness was the goal and everything would be great if only you could be “happy” but happiness isn’t a constant state, it’s not something you can reach one day and then live in forever. Appreciate that life is up and down but also mediocre and that’s okay. Figure out WHAT YOU WANT, sometimes it takes completely losing control over your life to realize what it is you want and which changes you need to make. Self-care is NOT SELFISH, if you constantly keep putting the needs of others above your own and don’t take any time to look after yourself, you will burn out.

There are years that ask questions and years that answer! Be Solid on your End!

 

Please Note, in next blog we shall be discussing social anxiety and mental breakdown issues and how can you deal with it.Keep Reading! Stay Happy and Blessed!

What Matters? You!

Let me ask all of you a question, “YOU HAVE THIS ONE LIFE. How do you want to spend it? Apologizing? Regretting? Questioning? Hating Yourself? Dieting? Running behind people who DON’T see you?

I always get this question in my mind whenever somebody says “Life is Hard”, I am really tempted to know “Compared to what?” It took me around mid 20s of my age to realize that why do we worry about the world coming to an end today; it is already tomorrow in Japan and Australia.

In life, we all are free to choose, but we aren’t free from the consequences of our choice. Some choices will be good, some bad, and some of the worst choices might make good stories; but every choice shapes your future. So Cry, Forgive, Learn and Move On!

Never let a bad situation bring out the worst in you. Stop complaining about the things you are not willing to change. Remember, the first step in getting what you want is having the courage to get rid of what you don’t. You don’t become strongest when you show strength in front of others but when you win the battles no one knew anything about. I know all of us have a new adventure probably everyday that doesn’t only tears us apart, but shatters and drains us emotionally. But still, understand that you have to fight your own war and win; because all you did yesterday, all your scars, all your victories are already at stake. It’s just one more time in everyday life. This reminds me one of the quotes of Donald Trump, “If you’re going to be thinking, you may as well think big.” So, cultivate an optimistic mind, use your imagination, always consider alternatives, and dare to believe that you can make it possible.

There are mistakes we make in our lives that cannot be fixed. And despite our best efforts and our best intentions, there are people who sometimes will not forgive you. There are also things that we, in our own lives, cannot forgive in others. This is just part of the human experience.

Be wise enough to understand that not everything can be fixed, and then who are you going to be? Well, Be You! That’s all you can do, no matter how strong the current beats against you, or how heavy your burden, or how tragic your love story. YOU KEEP GOING!

For what is worth: I hope you are living a life, you’re proud of; and if not, I wish you all the strength it takes for you to start over!

You Can’t Escape Yourself!

Sometimes You Don’t Get To Call The Shots!

Sometimes you feel like you can’t because you don’t know who you want to be. You feel like the life is ruined, people have alienated you and then that feeling of being lost! Despite of knowing it all, you are not the toughest one! But, the day you decide to get your head up and work about it; that’s when you make the best decisions of your life.

Learn the Talent of Facing Criticism!

Learn this and discover that success isn’t about winning. It’s the same old school saying, it is about staying in the game and not quitting or letting someone make you quit. I want you all to realize that all the hardships and all the criticism that you face is making you a better person.

So, don’t quit now, not before you learn that no matter what you do or where you go, YOU CAN’T ESCAPE YOURSELF! 

I also have had my own share of making great effort on knowing who I want to be!

I keep on struggling about what to say, so stop thinking. I was convinced I didn’t know who I wanted to be. And then, I realized the answer was all around me. I want to be someone who is willing to forgive. I want to be someone that cares more about others than themselves. I want to be someone who can tell it like it is. I want to be someone who would give up everything for the right reason. I want to be someone who sees the best in everyone. I want to be someone who is a true friend. I want to be someone who always tries to be better person, and someone who learns from their mistakes. I guess I just want to be someone who encompasses all those things so I can finally be that person who doesn’t need to make life larger than reality to be happy.

Because I will know how to dance all on my own and will make it somewhere near to where I imagined.

Don’t Have A Plan, Well, It’s Alright!

It’s not about being perfect every single day. I can summarize my life till date in one sentence: It didn’t go as planned and I am still a happy human! What screws us up the most in life is the picture in our mind of how “It’s” supposed to be.

No one in life has the smooth sailing, I mean, the heartbreaks, fights, failure or giving in to any social pressure. I have seen tears of love lost in many eyes, be it of person fighting a toxic relationship break-up or divorce after vows of togetherness. Worst tears are the ones, which says they have no hopes to look for in life now, the ones shed in front of mirror because that’s only person you have, for the dreams lost or venture which was your brain child failed. Pain and Failure are part of life. Probably, life isn’t about avoiding the bruises; maybe it is about collecting all the battle scars that proves you showed up for it!

Albert Einstein once quoted, “Everybody is genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” If you don’t have a plan, you can end up doing some interesting things. Besides, life is very short to wonder what could have been. Nobody ever wrote down a plan to be broke, lazy or stupid; those things happen when you lose the passion in yourself.

BE STUBBORN ABOUT YOUR GOALS, BUT FLEXIBLE ABOUT YOUR METHODS. Just remember if there is anything you should be willing to bet on, it should be yourself!

Everything in your life is a reflection of a choice you have made, and I am pretty sure it didn’t come with instructions manual either! It is not always about fixing the broken; maybe it’s about starting over and creating something better. In simple words, not always a plan ‘A’ that works for you but a plan with many alphabets in row. It is passion and vision that should drive your commitment. The action plan or the road-map can be altered or rewritten. Your purpose fuels your passion. All you have and all you will ever need is your own fire!

Learn to Embrace the Randomness!

Not everything will go as you planned and it is alright! Maybe that is time when you must drop the expectations and go with the flow. People must realize over-thinking is no solution, you can’t control everything! Have faith and trust yourself, like when in water, you don’t grab hold the water because if you do, you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float!

Trust your Madness! It is alright if you don’t have a plan, at least have passion and you are still breathing. You have done it today; you shall do it tomorrow too! There are more important things in life than winning or losing one game!

We Shall Overcome, Some Day!

Before I pen down my thoughts in the article, I want to write a big thank you to Pete Seeger, the song ‘We Shall Overcome’ is an inspiring force!

Do you ever think about going somewhere, where nobody knows you and start a new life?

Mental Conflicts, Emotional Drama and Unexplained Pain; everyone is fighting a battle within. And what all of us just wish, is some escape!

Hint – “Let’s NOT try to figure out EVERYTHING at ONCE.” 

Dear Readers, I can tell you over and over again to leave this situation or time which is tough as hell, but you won’t be able to, not until you are ready. One day you will get up in the morning and realize that this is not what you want to feel like anymore and trust me you will be done. And I think it’s important!

Things like people screwing you, fights with family, heartbreaks, loss of friends whom you thought would always be right beside you and that everyone has a past kind of feelings, which are full of tears, embarrassment and even laughter. You will experience the things that will shock you or even worst, break you. But then, there will be the time when you will sit back and realize that tough times come to people who can survive it and this is what you are.

Understand, there is always a season of wildness and a season of subtleness; news – the time right now is for neither. Don’t push yourself like fast-forward button in future that you haven’t recognized yet and even don’t be stuck in past. With all love, intensity and courage give “you” a brighter today.

Our struggles are never insignificant. Don’t hide, or refuse to cry out. We all are broken and we all are humans, and we are never alone. Sometimes all you need is probably 20 seconds of insane courage, just literally 20 seconds of embarrassing bravery. Your greatest need is to clean out the enormous mass of mental and emotional rubbish that is disturbing your mind. You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you would probably select your clothes. At the end of the day, we can either focus on what is tearing us apart or what is holding us together!

You can decide how long you choose the negative things affect you. You can close-down words of self-doubt against self-love. You can let go of yesterday and start fresh at any given moments. It all starts and ends with you. Your mindset is your compass!

Move, travel, take a class, take risks, and go to 2am people who have stood by you and are still standing holding you! In case, your 2am people list is incomplete – Well, Come Over! I don’t really mind whether we talk for hours, get blind drunk or sit in silence gazing stars. I know world down here just gets a bit much, and we all need to lose ourselves for a little while!

But Don’t Worry – We Shall Over Come, Some Day!
