No one is perfect, even the people we love !!!

No one is perfect, even the people we love. We expect too much from others and feel sorely disappointed when they don’t measure up to our standards. We must stop expecting too much and start being real. Our parents, siblings, relatives, friends, neighbours, colleagues and all others too go wrong at times. Accept them as they are with their flaws, faults, warts and all. Forgive them. That’s maturity and that too is love. Relationships over ride our urge to seek perfection. ~Latika Teotia

Have patience !!!

Nature follows a fixed time table; she neither overtakes nor falls behind. Don’t be impatient things will happen when they are supposed to. Have patience. ~Latika Teotia

Be there for your love no matter what !!!

If you are selective in love then you are neither doing justice nor are you being fair. You can’t be choosy. You cannot just pick the good times and run away when trouble befalls. That’s not love. You have to standby through thick and thin and weather all storms that may come. That’s the real challenge and that is love. ~Latika Teotia

Your voice will inspire others !!!

Being a silent spectator is at best not bravery and at worst cowardice. It’s easy to ignore what’s going on around you and look the other way when something wrong or unethical is happening. Learn to stand up and raise your voice. Whether you win or not is immaterial- you’ll be known for having stood up for your principles and that is so very satisfying. ~Latika Teotia

Holy Spirit coat my heart with compassion !!!

O Lord, fill my heart with compassion, let me be gentle and kind. Let me not ignore those that need my help. Make me overcome my fears, turn my weakness into strength and help me discover my hidden strength. Give me the wisdom to differentiate between good and evil. Let me welcome each day with hope and happiness~ Latika Teotia

Be confident of your abilities !!!

Life is unpredictable as there are various forces at play and most of them are beyond your control. But, confidence in your own self and faith in the heart will help you brave even the worst of storms. ~Latika Teotia

Don’t allow problems to paralyze you !!!

Don’t lead a life of disgruntlement and complaining about everything under the Sun. Don’t play the victim and try gaining the sympathy of others because that’s a sign of weakness. Accept a situation as it is if you don’t have the power to change it. Always try to see a silver lining in every dark cloud. Be positive. ~Latika Teotia

Stop making negative judgmental assumptions about people !!!

It is absolutely irresponsible to be judgmental about a person and assume that we know everything about someone without actually having done that. There are so many aspects about people that stay hidden. An odd incident is not sufficient to form opinions and it’s no reason to dissect a person or indulge in character assassination. Gossip and rumours are the weapons of the weak. Bullying someone is not the character of a strong person. Don’t judge a person by an odd incident; know more before forming an opinion. Refuse to be the carrier of gossip, rumour or stories. If you can’t speak good about someone, you have no excuse to say bad things either. ~Latika Teotia

Care for the weak!!!

We are strong if we value the lives of others and are sensitive towards their feelings. The truly strong person will always care for the weak and vulnerable.
