You appear to have been so caught up in trying to please others that you’ve forgotten your own self. By leading this kind of an existence, you’ve surrendered the real you to other people’s impulses and extinguished a better part of your personality. Wake up! Recognize the real you and get ready to live the life which pleases you. ~Latika Teotia
You don’t have to be too harsh on yourself when things go wrong and punish yourself for every mistake- in fact I feel that you don’t need to chastise yourself at all. When we condemn or castigate ourselves for any folly, we are letting loose an air of negativity- punishments have this uncanny trait of lowering the morale and bringing gloom all around. So, it’s okay to commit mistakes- we all do- learn from them and move ahead. ~Latika Teotia
If people hurt you don’t ask them the reason; instead let them keep guessing why you never bothered to find out. If someone breaks relationship with you don’t cry, fret or fume; instead let them speculate why you didn’t. If people cheat you, don’t point out; instead let them wonder why you didn’t. Let your silence speak louder than your words. Remember Karma will teach them a befitting lesson in due course of time. ~Latika Teotia
Sometimes love can be a lonely word which reminds you of numerous heart breaks, failed relationships and loneliness. You went through this cycle of falling in love, feeling on top of the world, the familiarity that slowly crept in which in turn gave way to differences and finally separation. Thereafter came the all too familiar flood of tears, those grief stricken moments crying on someone else’s shoulder (or crying yourself to sleep if a sympathetic friend wasn’t around), the endless hours spent in consoling yourself and so on.
Finally when the dust has settled and you are up and about, shift your focus on rebuilding your life, nurture those friendships which you had neglected, pursue your hobbies which you had put on the back burner, pay more attention to your work and spend quality time with your family. Explore the world, roam around, meet people and you never know at which corner of life you’ll come face to face with your soul connection or purpose. But never ever shut yourself off from love. All in good time you’ll finally find the love of your life.~Latika Teotia
At times we feel that our life is caught up in a very difficult maze which appears to be too difficult to cross because there’s a dead end at every turn. The ship of our life is caught in a severe storm and all appears to be lost. It appears that God has tightly banged shut all our doors. When such a situation occurs, continue to have faith in Him. Perhaps He has deliberately blocked the path you were traveling on because He wants you to follow another one.
Perhaps you were going wrong and it was His signal to you to mend your ways. Or perhaps He has plans for a better life for you; maybe something fantastic is coming along. Have patience, practice affirmative thinking, send out love to the universe, clear all your negative thoughts which are causing anxiety and don’t ever lose faith in Him. On the contrary pray harder and with even more faith because it’s this (faith of yours) which will finally bring everything which is good (for you). ~Latika Teotia
Whenever I feel tempted to judge others through the prism of my limited view, I shift my focus to understanding them. Whenever I am about to lose my temper and throw a fit, I imagine the other person to be a small child. This automatically calms me down and makes me more sympathetic.

All human beings evolve and grow with the passage of time- some are fast others take their own sweet time in doing so. It’s not for you to be judgmental about them, show patience, empathy and compassion. ~Latika Teotia
As we all know everything settles in its own time .Same goes with every mess we experience now and then. So instead of worrying or feeling anxious allow time to settle it . ~Latika Teotia
We find it very difficult to break away from whatever we have been believing in. We have been put in a certain mould; it could be about your personality, your choices, your preferences, your habits and so on. It’s quite possible that some of the things you were made to believe about yourself may be incorrect but just because your teachers, friends, relatives and even your own family have made those assessments; you have started believing in them.
The result is that at times our capabilities get needlessly limited or underplayed and some of our traits are unnecessarily exaggerated. It is high time that we took a step back to carry out an honest self assessment and see where we stand. It’s quite likely that we may discover some hidden strengths and pleasantly surprise ourselves with some really good qualities that we possess. ~Latika Teotia
The best way to assess yourself is by focusing on qualities that lie within your control and not dependent on external factors. You can’t control what happens at your job place or on the marital front or how your friends behave or how your family treats you but you can most certainly be in control of your own thoughts, behaviour, attitude, outlook, approach, feelings, mind-set and so on. Recognize the difference between these two and once you are aware of yourself nothing can shake your self esteem or disturb your peace.
