A Short Story of Inspiration For Your Day :-)

Consider the story of two stonemasons. You walk up to the first stonemason and ask, ‘Do you like your job?’. He looks up at you and replies, ‘I’ve been building this wall for as long as I can remember. The work is monotonous and I work in the scorching hot sun all day. The stones are heavy and lifting them day after day can be backbreaking. … Continue reading A Short Story of Inspiration For Your Day 🙂

A Little Thought For Your Day :-)

We’ve all read countless articles on many well-known websites, blogs, and guru-platforms that we shall NEVER compare ourselves to other people.

The problem is that looking back to ‘who you were yesterday’ actually inhibits your development more than improving it.

Let’s a take a common example … Continue reading Failure Is The Way Forward

Happiness Is a Constant Work-In-Progress.

The one constant we all have in our life, are our problems. We all have many different problems we have to face day in and day out… Like solving your health problems, finding a job, getting the car fixed, meeting the deadline for a report, blah blah blah. The list of problems we have are endless, and as you probably already noticed, never really come … Continue reading Happiness Is a Constant Work-In-Progress.
