Upgrade !!! Evolve !!!
Removing some of the very precious wishes from our bucket list doesn’t really mean that we are compromising or giving up on them, instead, it means that we are upgrading and evolving… ~Latika Teotia

I extend my love and gratitude to all of those lessons which helped me in developing a compassionate attitude towards life and people …~Latika Teotia
I’m sure most parents of differently abled children will agree with me that these children helped us in evolving in a soulful way & made us more compassionate. We learnt so much in this journey of taking care of our differently able child. We also realised that God is never unfair- if closes the door He opens a window. He compensates by blessing these children with super powers like patience, compassion, understanding, peace, even happiness and lets them retain their innocence. He gives immense strength and hope to the parents of children with special needs. Yes, we parents do get anxious when it comes to the security and care about our child after us- it is but human to do so. In such anxious moments, we should have full faith in God and believe that He was, is and will always be there with our children. He will find ways to extend His mercies through somebody, somehow. Thinking about the future we shouldn’t waste our precious moments with our children. Till we are around, fill their little world with hope and joy and be sure, their future will be taken care. We shouldn’t forget that God provides and takes care even of the smallest living being…~Latika Teotia
You can choose to be happy or miserable- that choice depends entirely on your own self. You don’t have to look far to find happiness; the first step is to count your blessings and express gratitude for them. One should never compare oneself with others; and if at all you want to, then do that with those beneath you or those who are less fortunate. If you can see (even though you may have to use glasses) then you are luckier than those who are visually handicapped and who would give their right arm to be able to see even from one eye. If you can hear, talk and walk then you are luckier than those handicapped on account of these. So next time you are feeling sad, down and depressed, just carry out this small exercise- count your blessings. Before long you’ll have enough reasons to feel uplifted and happy. ~Latika Teotia
No doubt life isn’t easy and we have to deal with challenges and issues, but BUT simultaneously we must also acknowledge and embrace our blessings. Without acknowledging the gifts in our lives, we will tend to remain empty, grumpy, snappy and touchy, convinced that we are “those of unlucky ones”. ~Latika Teotia
