The more people can gain from ‘knowing’ you, the more people will ‘know’ you. Be welcome to new connections but make sure people earn the right to hear your story.
If you constantly give of yourself and are repeatedly taken advantage of, the burden lies on your shoulders to create boundaries and stick to them. It’s far more difficult than it seems but also extremely rewarding in gaining quality of life.
It’s ok to be silly. It’s ok to be whimsical. It’s ok to be creative. It’s ok to show emotion. It’s ok to be wrong. It’s ok to fail. It’s ok to hold hands and hug. It’s ok to say ‘I love you’. It’s ok to live. It’s ok to be you because we are all just trying to figure it out.
Each day will put forth its challenges. Many of them will not be pleasant. How we react to them is up to us. Summon whatever we can to react with a clear mind, kindness, respect, and understanding.
India invented chess. Invented Yoga. They even thought us how to count. Einstein said we owe a lot to the Indians. There is even a golden temple in India that feeds 100,000 people a day for FREE! Man, the Indians are fucking awesome!
If you are Indian, I say thank you ❤️ 🇮🇳
Stand for your values, strive for virtue in your beliefs and allow others the same privilege. Especially in cases where perspectives oppose each other.
