“When you stumble, remember that it is just one brick that has fallen off while building a life, it’s not the end of your life.”
But if you don’t stumble, how will you learn to handle yourself? How will you learn to pick your pieces up and stand even stronger than earlier? How will you learn to fight your demons who keep you awake at nights? There’s a very famous saying “if you stumble, make it a part of the dance.” So what’s stopping youIf you who have stumbled down and if you who have to ultimately pick yourself up to start walking once again?
“When you tear the pages of your hardship, you tear along the time when you were the hardest.”
There are times when you have been longing to tear the pages that gave you a hard time when you want to wipe out your despondent past. But do you think you would have stood as strong as you are today? You would not have been the person that you are today. You are built up with the experiences you have had. The shortcuts that you plan to take will only subtract your experience and will lead to an incomplete life. Thank the despondent pages of your life for making you what you are today.
“But every time a hurricane hits you, you try to calm it instead of calming yourself”
Did you ever realize that the sole motive of pain is to let us feel a strong emotion that can change our perspectives and us on a whole another level? I wonder what would happen if we keep yourselves calm instead of calming the storm.After all,we can have strict control on ourselves, not the storm. So why not sink in and feel what it gives us, to better ourselves?But yes, sometimes pain can be really ‘painful’, so, for that time when pain does not change its motive, wedefinitely can, with a resistance, the self-control.
“Sometimes you need a soft fall to let the defeated and broken chunks fall off you”
Not every fall is a defeat. Falling can let the broken and defeated chunks fall off you, making space for fresh memories. Sometimes, it is essential to face a fall to get back up and start afresh. There are times while picking yourself up, you would come across new bits and pieces of some else which you would wish to take up too. Those new pieces would fill your void-ness and then one day they would fall off as well, letting you to grow even more with new spaces…and this cycle goes on.
“There’s no rule book that tells you live your life at a certain pace. You are allowed to alter your speed according to you.”
Your brain has been fed with a concept of moving with a constant speed which is equal to your opponents. But there is no rule book!If you are distinct from others, you should have a distinct pace too. There is a line in the book, ‘The Secret’, “your thoughts become things” and that’s true. So, move forward in your life’s journey as per your speed.
“If the end is ending you, darling it’s not the end.”
Have you ever thought about how could it be the end if it ending you? You’re the hero of your life. What you are thinking to be the end is just a brisk fall that will only make you a little stronger.

“Everything we do is to be loved a little more, sometimes by others and sometimes by our own selves.”
I believe our every action holds a common motive and that is being loved. We invest our time and energy in others to make them love us back…isn’t it? Is it correct thing to do? No, it is not. We should rather invest our time in ourselves to inculcate selfless self love. The more we love ourselves, the more wewould be loved by others. So today, go out, sit in the sun, and let yourself soak intothe golden sunlight. Pick your favorite game to play or anything you love to do, treat yourself like no other and learn how to love yourself first.
