I can't stop thinking about this poem...
The final two lines bear repeating:
And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take care of itself.
How often have you been convinced that your joy, contentment, and fulfillment were on the other side of some extraordinary achievement?
• I'll be content when I get that promotion.
• I'll be fulfilled when I make director.
• I'll be joyful when I find a partner.
This "when, then" psychology traps our happiness in a conditional statement:
You get to be happy when you achieve that thing.
In a culture that obsesses over the extraordinary, there's much to be gained through simply shifting your focus to celebrate the ordinary.
How can you make the ordinary come alive today?
Every single thing you do today is something your 90-year-old self will wish they could go back and do.
That simple walk. That feeling of satisfaction when you figure out a tricky problem. That smile from a friend. That laugh from your child. That workout you wanted to skip. That conversation with your parents.
That ordinary moment you're tempted to ignore.
All of it.
So, the next time you find yourself wanting to skip through to the other side—to the end, the goal, the finish line:
Stop. Pause. And breathe it in.
This is it. This is real. This is life.
Make the ordinary come alive and the extraordinary will take care of itself.
@littleboxindia I Tried reaching out multiple times regarding the product I recieved, no human response only a ticket system & unresponsive Whatsapp bot. In today’s fast-moving quick-commerce space, timely and clear communication is a basic expectation of customers.
It's sad to see that even today it is not safe to visit Kashmir, people lost their lives just because they were Hindus.
Who knew that travelling to Kashmir and enjoying the beautiful Pahalgam with their loved ones will result to loss of their life.

Being fit, high-energy, mentally sharp, is actually a sign of wealth: you know how to take care of yourself and have the time, resources, and self-discipline to actually put it into practice.
You think you failed?
those never ending self-doubting thoughts,
those lonely battles that you fought,
the fear which you overcame,
the way you dealt with your pain,
Do you really think you failed?

A lot of success boils down to figuring out how to stay calm, relaxed, clear-minded under pressure. Life doesn’t get easier, you just become better at tackling stressful situations.
@rpomumbai It's been 3 months days since my family and I applied for a passport and due to some mistakes in my details, the passport verification wasn't completed and even my parents passport verification status hasn't been updated and we don't know what needs to be done further.
Life only gets easier as long as you keep maintaining the harder habits, making the harder choices, studying the harder subjects, facing the harder conversations, challenging yourself with harder problems. It's hard to make life easy, but it's completely worth it.
What a historic win!!!
We should be glad to witness this moment, and proud of our team because the Indian team deserved it.
29/6/2024 will always be remembered.
