5 Tips on How to Motivate Yourself
Self-motivation is convincing yourself to get through a day, move on from a breakup, studying for an exam, earning a good amount of money, or maybe just getting out of bed! It's a potency that comes from within, which helps you move forward in your life.

Self-Awareness - Why It Matters More Than Ever
I encountered self-awareness when a friend at the time presented me with a book about the topic and mentioned that it had become a requisite at work. Before then, I had heard my father talk a lot about self awareness. I thought at that point I did not want to walk through life being oblivious of myself - my strengths and weaknesses - and understand how others perceived me. I understood that in order to become the best version of myself and learn from my past mistakes, I needed to be cognizant of who I was and who the people surrounding me were.

How to Always Be Learning
“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning is young” Learning is a tool, which a person can use as much as he/she can for improving the life he/she is living. If you are habitual of constantly learning, then you must be having an active mind. The human mind is like a sponge, which is consuming knowledge and information every time. For keeping this mind active, it is highly necessary to keep this sponge busy in consuming necessary and important knowledge.

“If You Look After Your Pennies, Your Dollars Will Look After Themselves”
I didn’t realize when i was a small child what a wise man my grandfather was. Some people may have thought he was just a foolish old man, but not I. Without a thought as to the validity of his many quips and sayings I simply soaked them in.

Better than a moment.
We all live for moments. Fractions of them really….bits of happiness, of excitement, love and euphoria; grandeur and success. Then there are the ones we don't exactly strive for…. anger, sadness, defeat, frustration, despair. Either way, they are extremely powerful. Powerful enough to build and destroy, and yet they're often taken for granted. I suppose that's just the way life is, no? In fact if you stop and think about it, life is much like a fabulous garment. I'll explain. Imagine you walk up to a table and there lies yards upon yards of fabric….you glare and inspect… and well…..how incredibly boring and lifeless a textile roll is .. isn't it? It's so lonely and dull, so sad when it's left untouched. Oh, but, if you grab some scissors…..hmm now we're getting somewhere. If we start snipping, you can hear the shears metal scrape against itself, neatly cutting each fiber, giving the large limp panel a song to dance to as it falls to pieces. Nothing like good music to fall apart in….sometimes in happiness others in turmoil…but each piece it's own … only to end up looking like a pile of scraps of course. You would probably confuse it with garbage if you didn't know any better. Anyway, now we have a stack ….clearly it appears as nothing special, because it's literally a mound of sliced textile. It's easily overlooked in a room full of much more succulent, delicious and completed projects to feast your eyes on. Nothing special, merely a few more pieces of matter taking up space. Much like our memories and experiences perhaps? Sometimes we stare admirably at others' finished pieces as we ignore our own pile of scraps. I agree, it's so hard to look away. It does sound quite familiar though, guilty here...if I do say so myself. But we don't have to sit and stare forever. What happens if we choose to take that weird concoction we started and begin to piece it all together? Sew it up here and there...the good and the bad. Once it starts to take shape the doubt and hesitation start to wither away into excitement and anticipation. We can have the collar of pride, add some love in the sleeves, maybe cuffs of lessons, the buttons of experience, the pattern of emotions and a train of success to follow us around in all our splendor. We can create our very own couture signature piece. Custom made. The perfect fit. There's nothing more satisfying than to complete a garment out of what was once considered rubble and show the world how astonishing it can be. WE can be. It's not just cloth you see, it's a statement. A loud one. And just like a garment, we can design ourselves constantly. We have the ability to create masterpiece after masterpiece… collections upon collection fit for constant reinvention. I can see life reflected in each project, in each design, in every detail. It brings me joy to be able to create and recreate, over and over and over gain. To learn, become better, become the best. And it doesn't stop at creation. The rewards keep flowing because once a piece is finished it is not complete until we show it off. Dress a person the right way and you don't just adorn a body with something pretty….. otherwise it's just a disguise. The right outfit transmits confidence, self esteem, power and happiness. Only then we are complete. Designing and sewing bring me so much more than just a happy moment, it's a passion. I'm in love with it because it relates to the world and our lives. We decide what outfits we will make with the pieces that have been cut. We also decide which ones we will wear ...both inside and out. I live like the world is my runway because it is and it's yours as well. We can choose to come out and drag by like a sorry, deflated balloon, or, we can strut like the world is ours. So I suggest we strut it with our best piece.

I Feel Like I Am Going To Die
I feel like I am going to die. No, for real, I truly do. I do not necessarily mean that I feel like I am going to die soon...but I feel like someday I am going to die. “Of course,” you say, snickering, “It’s a common fact that ten out of ten people die.” Yes. That’s true. I suppose it has always been in my brain, but recently I have started to feel like I am going to die someday. Do you know what I am talking about, the difference between knowing you are going to die and actually feeling it? Yeah, that’s what I am feeling right now. And it is a very scary thought.

Creativity is the Illumination of our Being
I truly believe creativity is innate in all of us. Albert Einstein once said ‘creativity is intelligence having fun.’ True creativity is mercurial and waiving. It’s what allows the best minds to transmute problems into solutions and see things not for that which they are but for what they can be.

How to stay Rough and Tough to Beat the Pandemic Fear?
We need to rub the negative with positives to be Rough and Tough in life. Despite the road humps and potholes, it's the confidence and the composure of the driver that ends up the journey safe. Similarly, life has disruptions in the form of anger, stress, emotions, etc -just swap with peace, love, and happiness. The present crisis faced by the world seeks to rejuvenate through available in-house means. If vaccination is to the body- relaxation is to mind which keeps you happy and healthy. To achieve this, we need to be rough and tough; start to work on our mental outlook. However rough you appear to be from the outside, all that matters is the inside toughness of the mind.

Faith In Humanity
I initially didn’t know where to even begin when I started writing this. I’ve always dreamed big, and in a perfect world I’d be a little scared of how positively limitless the possibilities would be. I’ve always wanted to achieve something great in my life. Not just for me, but for everyone on this planet. It feels like an immature dream, unattainable almost, considering the grand scale of our planet. But hey, we’re talking about a perfect world here, are we not? In a perfect world, my dreams would come true. It will of course require tons of hard work and proper time management to start off. Timing is arguably the most important variable in every situation, especially one like this.

Making a Life, Not Earning a Living
What are you most passionate about? Does something come to mind right away, or are you having trouble? Is it something you do frequently, or something you’re always wishing you had time for? Have you shaped your life around what excites you the most, or do you rarely think of it? Do you have children; and do you know what they’re most passionate about?
