Take the time to reflect !!!

Let’s glide into 2020 with a clean slate and an open mind. I have already started discarding the old baggage which had been weighing me down. I carry neither ill will nor any grudges against anyone; nor do I have any anger against those that wronged me, knowingly or unknowingly. I offer my sincere apologies to anyone who has been hurt by me or by my actions- believe me, it was unintentional. I am excited to welcome the New Year and go on this new exhilarating journey.~Latika Teotia

Be patient !!! Be encouraged !!!

If you want to change your life start by taking baby steps, one at a time, and follow your heart passionately. The very desire to change yourself for the better is a good beginning.

So go ahead, start your journey- sooner the better- and with that burning desire within you every step that you take brings you that much closer to your goal. But remember there are no shortcuts in life; you have to cross every stage and mark each milestone.

In your desire to reach earlier if you take shortcuts, it’s quite likely that you may wind up taking a long, grueling, laborious, tiring and more difficult path.

Resisting won’t help !!!

Good or bad, happy or sad, everything that happens does so for a reason; no incident in this world is a stray occurrence. Don’t be unnecessarily perplexed or anxious about it.  ~Latika Teotia

Treat every moment with reverence !!!

The most unexpected turn in your life’s journey at times becomes the defining moment when a beautiful part of your life actually begins. That meeting with a complete stranger on a train journey; that quarrel when you suddenly caught a glimpse of the ugly side of the other person’s character; that sudden inspiration to try something and so many other such events happen for a reason. You never know when it’s your ‘Eureka’ moment. So treat every moment with reverence. ~Latika Teotia

Down play the problems !!!

I am content with my life and the journey so far. God has been kind, He has taught me to count my Blessings and, as far as possible, . Who doesn’t have problems? Life’s journey is full of ups and downs- no one is an exception. How you handle yourself when life throws a punch at you and how grateful you are when you are riding on a high is what matters.
Learn lessons from everything- including, and especially, adversity. Notice those beautiful moments, learn to enjoy a beautiful sunrise with a cup of freshly brewed coffee sitting on the patio or the music of the birds chirping in your backyard or the flight of birds on a clear cloudless day when all is still or the hug of a close friend. Learn to open up and notice things around you. Miracles are happening all around you. Reach out to those in need. If you can be of some help to even one person or if you can make a difference in the life of someone you are living a soulful life.

Take a step forward !!!

We can’t just sit and wish about this and that, we have to make efforts. Just dreaming about something and not doing anything about it is called day dreaming. Therefore, you need to work in that direction and take a step forward. Yes, the first step is the most difficult one but remember, every journey, long or small, begins with the first step. With a dream in your eyes, hope in your heart, trust in your ability and unshakeable faith in God, no journey is too difficult nor is any dream too big. With God as your guide, you are much stronger than your troubles, so go ahead take the first step and the rest will be a cake walk. ~Latika Teotia
