Still I Rise🌅

Here’s a beautiful poam to tell yourself &  to all those who tries to put you down.

You may write me down in the history, With your bitter, twisted lies,     You may trod me in the very dirt, But still like DUST🌪 , I’ll RISE🌞

Does my sassiness upset you??   Why are you beset with gloom??    ‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells, Pumping in my living room. 

Just like Moon🌙 and like Sun☀️With the certainty of tides🌊 ,     Just like the hopes springing high, Still I’ll RISE 🌞

I’ll  RISE ,   I’ll  RISE ,      I’ll RISE …..

Did you want to see me broken💔Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops,😭😢 Weakened by my soulful cries🥺

Does my haughtiness offend you, Don’t you take it awful hard, ‘Cause I laugh it like I’ve gold mines, Digging in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with ur words, You may cut me with your eyes,  You may kill me with your hatefulness👿 But still like AIR, I’ll RISE🌞

I’ll  RISE ,  I’ll  RISE ,      I’ll RISE ….

Does my sassiness upset you??  Does it come as a surprise. That I dance💃 like I’ve got Diamonds💎, At the meeting of my thighs.

Out of the huts 🏠 of history’s shame,

I RISE🌄

Up from a past that’s rooted in pain,

I RISE🌄

I’m a black ocean, leaping & wide,  Welling & Swelling,   I bear in the tide🌊

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear,

I RISE 🌄

Into a day break that’s wondrously   clear,

I RISE🌄

Bringing the gift🎁 that my ancestors gave, I’m the dream and the hope of the world.

I RISE, I RISE,I RISE🌄

– Maya Angelou

Caged up in our thoughts🎭

Millions of thoughts and feelings respire inside us everyday,
We bound them and give them home...
They live and they grow inside us,
We are their ground and we are their sky.


Some have been stolen from the winds,
Some opted from the books,
Don't know a single tornado of how many thoughts; 
Breathe inside us every day,every hour,every minute,every second...
Whether we are walking or we're sitting
They are beside us,everytime.


Came from an unclaimed world,a stray thought...
From touching our eyelids, to the walls of our heart;
Then it finishes it's journey by itself cutting it's feathers,
And still they respire within our spirits
All our thoughts being caged inside us...
All our thoughts that sometimes cry, sometimes laugh,speak,and try to talk...
Or sometimes they just seemed to be starring at us
Staring at us and only us...


This is how they live inside us, 
This is how they breathe inside us,
Unable to move while we walk..
Left unheard while we talk..
Always trying to tell us what exactly the problem is?
But we being caught in external bullshits,
Don't even try to listen to our own thoughts,our very own instincts;
And always remain caged up in a room and think as if the keys are lost...
Caged up in a room and keys are lost.


Being unaware that there is actually no lock,
Yes we all caged up in an open room...
And this is actually our only problem.
Our each thought tries to tell us everyday that we are caged up..
Tied up and Caged up in our very own thoughts.

Our souls tell us everyday that,Our life,
Sometimes it is gift
But sometimes it's like we're  locked up inside a lift
Sometimes it's a whole meal
But sometimes it's like a car without it's wheel
Sometimes we're up in the sky
But sometimes it feels like an irritating fly
Sometimes we wanna get down
But sometimes getting down also feels like we're gonna drown.


We really gonna need to listen to our thoughts,our souls,our gut instincts...
Bcoz somewhere and somehow they really know the way.
Also just remember,
Life is always either left or right
It's not always the best but at the same time it's not always messed
Thanking your life is not a regret and also there's nothing to get upset
Life is just to be happy and cheerful,
Without being stressed and never feeling depressed.

And if ever you feel you have nothing to be happy for , if you ever feel you have nothing to be grateful for,just check your pulse , that’s something most amazing that you possess.

Find your WHY ??

There are two very important days in any person’s life:

1. The day when we were born
2. The day we realize WHY

The first day is totally beyond our powers. It is the day to express our gratitude for everything that we have in our life.While the second one is totally left for us to discover.This is the most important day of our life and in fact it is the defining moment of our being in this beautiful world. It is the day when we find out the purpose of our life and I personally believe that the purpose of our life is actually an incredible alarm clock and a life long motivator.

It WAKES US ,MAKES US and TAKES US going everytime whenever the tough gets going.

Many people just keep on wandering in search of motivation inspite of realizing the fact that real motivation comes from within.When you do something you don’t care about or you don’t like doing, it gives you stress but when you discover your WHY and do what you love, this gives you the best feeling.The feeling of satisfaction,the feeling of fulfillment and most importantly it gives genuine happiness.The happiness that every single person deserves in their life. The happiness that is worth you.

The best part of finding your WHY is that you really don’t need to find it out because it’s that treasure that’s already present in everyone of us.All we need to do is to have the courage to follow our heart and our intuitions because somewhere and somehow they really know who we are and what we truly want to become.Also don’t let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.Trust your own judgements and gut instincts because even if you try and fail, atleast you can move on with clarity instead of questions.

It’s better to try and know than not to try and always wonder.

For pe∆ceful living:-)

Always Do your Best and Leave the Rest

Why does this happen with me?

What’s my fault?

Why only me?

These are the thoughts that comes to our mind when life does not goes the way we want it to be and our desires are not fulfilled.Very soon the negative thoughts find their way into our mind and we start feeling strucked and stressed. When the things are favourable these feelings seldom occur.

People always feel that life is a game of luck-thousands of people spend money on buying lottery tickets, but only a few are rewarded. Pleasant and unpleasant things happen to all of us in our daily practises and relationships – that’s the nature of life.

But why is it all about luck only?? An infamous dictator, who was instrumental in killing thousands of innocent people believed that “hard luck lines can be changed with a knife’s edge” You’d also often hear people say things like – “यह तो पिछले जन्म के कर्मों का फल हैं (This is a result of what you did in your past life)” and we too give in and believe that what ever is happening is due to destiny and may be the fault is in our stars only ; But we forget what nobleman Cassius says to Brutus in the Act 1,Scene 2 of Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar – “The fault ,dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves that we are underlings.”

So here’s something to remember- the future is not in our hands,only god knows about it. Does that mean we keep fretting about what may happen??? No,we should not. Whatever the situation be, we should just do the best that we can and then leave the rest.

This is even well explained in our hindu mythologies,as said in the Bhagavad Gita; कर्म करो, फल की चिंता मत रखो ( Do your duty without thinking about results)

अध्याय 2 श्लोक 47

अर्थात-

• 

Another example to this is a very beautiful and profound sanskrit term that is found in the ancient texts, scriptures and philosophy . This word is Vairagya ( वैराग्य) and this word in itself has a deep meaning to offer even in this era. Vairagya in simple sense means deattachment, and we all too need to have a sense of deattachment . Deattachment not from what we are doing{our work or actions} but from the outcome of our actions, which is ultimately not in our hands. There is always a certain way with which things happen and they will take their own time.

So we must focus on what is in our hands or what we can do and that is work & once you have done your 100%; you have given everything that you think you can,without any regrets.Once you have done your best & you know this is the best that I could have done, after that you must be a little deattached from your results because if somehow the results are not in your favour, you must not give up trying for the next time because till when ,if your efforts are 100%, till when will you not succeed.

So for your inner peace,Do your best and Leave the rest. Let this be your inner thought.
