Brooding over failures as well as depressing events of the past have a negative and crippling effect on our future because it prevents us from moving forward. So, make a conscious decision to not give any energy to it. Playing the victim only harms you, stop doing that, instead make a new beginning. ~Latika Teotia
Successful people do not procrastinate; they are never satisfied sitting still. They believe in being up and about. Quite often we spend endless hours planning and by the time we reach a consensus we are so drained out that there’s hardly any energy left to do anything else. The trick lies in taking the first step- getting started. Once we are in motion, everything starts working and before we realize we have finished the task in hand. So, next time you get struck, start doing- don’t sit still. ~Latika Teotia
If you get influenced by opinions and criticisms of others and start living accordingly then you have somewhere lost your identity. Though you may achieve a lot of success, appreciation and temporary happiness but it won’t last a long time; your soul will demand to be its original self. Don’t you think it’s better to live according to your own values and beliefs rather than being a copy paste or live a life what others want you to? It may not look that appealing from outside but it won’t haunt your soul. Yes you can work doubly hard to make an improvement and be what you admire. So be the best of yourself and always live according to your values and beliefs. ~Latika Teotia
Have power over of your life. Once you learn that you have the freedom to take your own decisions without looking over shoulder for approval or appreciation then you’ll realize that you are also responsible for them (your decisions). Then, you’ll have the freedom to turn your dreams into reality- no matter how small or big they are, whether they are too ambitious or ridiculous, too difficult or too easy- no one will laugh at them because you’ve taken that power away from everyone. So go ahead, be in charge of your life and live it the way you want to. Live a happy, soulful life full of bliss. ~Latika Teotia
When stuck in grim situations you have two very clear choices- either search for solutions or make excuses. What becomes of you thereafter is entirely of your own making. Life is not fair and will throw unexpected punches at you; it’ll shock you once in a while and knock your breath out with solid blows; how you react is entirely up to you. You must not remain lying flat on the ground, because you are not defeated when you get knocked out, but you are, when you refuse to get up. So get up and accept life’s challenges. Not only will you succeed but you will also be confident of facing all situations in future.

When we love someone, their biggest mistakes appear very small and we just ignore them. Treat everyone that way- especially your immediate family as well as your close circle.
Since you love them, put the petty things out of the way. Ignore smaller issues and don’t be ready to sermonize at the drop of a hat; no one likes to be ticked off. In your own house too, it’s better to ignore small irritants like someone leaving clothes crumpled in the cupboard or not putting the sofa cushions back in place or leaving used cups on the table or not cleaning the washroom properly after themselves or not leaving the remote control in the proper place and so on. It’s better to set it right yourself rather than spoil their mood or their day by pointing out or by making them set it right.
Remember, no one is deliberately triggering you; they just don’t realize their mistakes and with the passage of time they will surely come around to what you want- give them time. Even you may be having many faults which are so obvious to others but they are not pointing it out because they love you and would rather lose out on ego than on relationship.
Love people as they are , ignore small issues and I guarantee that you’ll stay happy- as also make others happy . ~Latika Teotia
Every achievement, disappointment, up, down, calamity, misfortune, oversight, betrayal, adversity teaches us lessons. The important thing is learning, evolving and doing better for ourselves as well as the people we are living for. It’s okay to commit mistakes, to fail, to fall, to fumble and tumble but it’s not okay not to learn or to repeat the same mistakes. ~Latika Teotia
When we get hurt or jilted or have been the victim of something, the first reaction is to seek revenge. We get so blinded by our anger that we forget that the Lord had said that vengeance was His. We forget that forgiveness brings better peace than does revenge. Why poison someone when you can do the same thing with sweetness? I will narrate a small story to illustrate my point.
A farmer had a neighbour who was a hunter and who owned ferocious but poorly trained hunting dogs. They frequently jumped the fence and chased the farmer’s lambs. The farmer asked his neighbour to keep his dogs in check, but it fell on deaf ears.
One day the dogs jumped the fence and attacked the lambs severely injuring several of them in the process. The farmer had had enough, and went to the town to complain. The wise judge listened patiently to his woes and then said, “I can punish the hunter and instruct him to keep his dogs chained or lock them up. But you would lose a friend and gain an enemy. Which would you rather have, friend or foe for a neighbour?” The farmer replied that he preferred a friend.
“Alright, I will offer you a solution that will keep your lambs safe and will also help in keeping your neighbour a friend.” He heard the judge’s solution and agreed to give it a try.
Next day he took two of his best lambs and presented them to his neighbour’s two small sons. Naturally, they were thrilled with joy and began to play with them. To protect his sons’ newly acquired playthings, the hunter built a strong kennel for his dogs. Since then, the dogs never again bothered the farmer’s lambs. Out of gratitude for the farmer’s generosity toward his sons, the hunter often shared with the farmer the game he had hunted. The farmer too reciprocated by sending the hunter cheese whenever he used to make it. This way, within a short time, the neighbours became good friends.
It is said that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. It pays to forgive, forget and move on. So keep your temper in control, overcome your desire for vengeance and free yourself from a self created prison.

Things are changing every moment. We are destined to see as well as undergo many changes in our lives. Don’t resist anything- whether it’s pleasant or painful; undergo it with a smile on your face. If you can be happy when something pleasant happens to you (and most often you know that it’s temporary), then, there’s no reason to feel dejected when something unpleasant happens to you- because it too shall pass.~Latika Teotia
Living according to mood swings can mess up our lives and can have a huge impact on our relationships as well. We need to have control over such behavioral swings. Meditate on the thoughts which trigger you and make conscious effort to deal and heal. ~Latika Teotia
