There is always a learning in every situation !!!
Just as every challenge helps us in evolving; similarly every difficult person gives us the opportunity to be more understanding and humane.

Stop criticizing, start appreciating !!!
Be appreciative about others, don’t criticize or crib about them. Gossiping will only fill you with negativity. Speak well about others. Positivity begets positivity. Don’t be in a hurry to pass judgment or criticize, check yourself before you do. It’ll pass- once you make a deliberate effort to be positive. If you can’t speak well of others then you have no right to speak ill either. A critical attitude spoils everything. You aren’t happy; in turn you don’t give your best, resultantly you get ticked off. Because you get ticked off you crib and criticize little realizing that you started this vicious circle in the first place.
What, then, is the solution ??? It’s simple. Learn to see the good in everything and, more importantly, ignore the bad. Don’t go to the garden to see only those patches where there’s no grass, the beds where the flowers have not been able to bloom or the places where there are overgrown hedges. Instead go to relax, see the flowers in full bloom. Be thankful that you have sight to see things. Don’t criticize the elevator that broke down this morning- be thankful that you are strong enough to climb stairs. Don’t find fault with your boss and your job- be grateful that you have a job. Don’t look at the world through a tainted window- clean it first and you will realize that it’s bright and sunny outside. ~Latika Teotia
God is present everywhere; reach out and experience Him !!!
God cannot be confined within the four walls of a building or within the pages of a book or in the lyrics of prayer songs. He resides in everything; He is an experience to be felt, lived and treasured. We can find Him everywhere. He is present in the gurgle of the mountain stream, in the dew drop, in the gay abandon flight of a bird, in the fragrance of flowers, in the innocent toothless smile of a new born, in the soft clouds above, in the whistle of the wind passing through trees, in our every heartbeat and in every part of our body; there’s no place where He isn’t present. You have only to reach out and experience Him. ~Latika Teotia
You live, you learn !!!
You are who you are because of your experience. Every little thing that happens to you, whether success, failure, good or bad is a stepping stone in making you who you ultimately become. Therefore, accept each experience as it is. While success will teach you the value of hard work, failure will give you invaluable insights into where you went wrong. The people you meet too affect your life. If someone gives you love, repay them in whatever way you can; hold such people close to your heart and don’t let go of them. Such people teach you the value of love and also guide you to open out and love others. On the other hand if someone hurts you or breaks your very heart, humiliates you or makes you feel small, forgive them and move on. Such people have just taught you an invaluable lesson too. Use that experience and walk with your eyes open so that you don’t commit the same mistake twice/ again. Don’t worry you aren’t the only one with a hurt or a broken heart, everyone’s been through a similar experience sometime or the other. ~Latika Teotia
Never lose faith, always repose your trust in God !!!
Never lose faith in God. Remember that He is always there by our side watching over us and steering us in the right direction. We are continuously evolving into better human beings and growing spiritually. It is during this process of evolution that we become confused, restless, depressed and even hostile because we are not aware of this change in us. We may even feel that God has forsaken us- which couldn’t be farther from the truth, because He will never leave you, no matter how difficult the times may be. It is this ignorance that is the cause of all our miseries and confusions; the realization comes only once we share our worries with someone knowledgeable who tells us about God and His mysterious ways of working. So never lose faith, always repose your trust in God. ~Latika Teotia
Analyse, look for solution and apply !!!
There is no problem which can’t be fixed. It only takes a few logical steps. First and foremost don’t brood over it; that way it will magnify and send you into anxiety or panic mode. Pray and have faith. Analyse it and you’ll realize that it has become smaller. Search for possible solutions and you’ll see that it’s manageable. Finally choose the various options available and apply. Presto it’s gone- poof, just like that!! ~Latika Teotia
Protect your turf !!!
Protect your turf; learn to say NO and learn to do it emphatically. Your space is your castle and no one has the right to barge in. ~Latika Teotia
Love Yourself !!!
You are a beautiful Creation of God. Learn to Love yourself because God puts something of His own Wonderful Self in you.
Understand Your Worth !!!Value your Life !!! Appreciate your Blessings!!! ~Latika Teotia
Trust !!! Believe !!!
When God shuts the door he always leaves a window. He doesn’t just shut us off completely. He wants us to tread a different path. Learn to recognize that opportunity; identify your true calling. ~Latika Teotia
