Sometimes we lose connections which are too close to our hearts, maybe it was time for them to fade away. In such moments trust God and embrace newness. May be the best phase of life begins now. ~Latika Teotia
Your identity does not lie in your struggles, your diseases or your failed relationships. Your true identity lies in How you handled yourself during those situations. Take pride in being what you are !!! ~Latika Teotia
There is joy in not only expecting the best to happen but also in accepting that whatever happens will be for the best. ~Latika Teotia
Don’t let darkness win. Don’t let the weight of your troubles crush your spirit. ~Latika Teotia
Don’t be afraid of what could happen or that you may end up in pain if you took a chance on love or life. If you don’t take the plunge you may lead a safe life but it will be drab one. Life is too short to let it just pass by. Grab those short but beautiful moments which may lead to lifetime memories. As Garth Brooks famously sang, “I could have missed the pain but I’d have had to miss the dance.”~Latika Teotia
Are you happy with the life you are leading???? If the answer is no then identify the areas where change is required. I know that you have invested a lot in relationship, career and so on, but living like a zombie is also not right because you still have a life ahead of you. Take a chance, make changes, go for therapy if needed. Don’t just survive; LIVE. It is after all, a beautiful life. You are worthy of love, joy, peace and happiness. Making it beautiful is very much in your hands and you can do it. My prayers and best wishes. ~ Latika Teotia
I’ve found that grief is not permanent and pain never lasts.There is always light at the end of a dark tunnel-as surely as day follows a dark night. I wrote this poem in a moment of despair. When I felt aggrieved and totally drained out. I struggled with my broken heart and found the strength to see beyond that grief. These sad moments had also taught me an invaluable lesson and brought me even more close to God.
Rain to Rainbow
I was lonely and I was in pain,
I sat quietly and watched the rain.
With each single drop, my pain did decrease,
I waited with hope for it to cease.
I picked up the broken pieces of my heart,
Even grief, though brief, had played a part.
Lord behold I spotted a rainbow at the end,
In my life, mercifully, it was only a bend.
Thank you, O Lord, for this beautiful life,
And the invaluable lessons I learnt from this strife.
In the absence of pain, grief, problems and strife,
We forget God’s wonderful gift of life.

I was sitting at my study table and surrounded by clutter of papers, pens, laptop and cell phones when suddenly a house sparrow came and sat on the ledge of the closed glass window of my air conditioned room. Human beings have long since banished this poor winged creature from their household by closing their doors and windows. It is as if we have blocked joy and liveliness from our lives. Yet I found this tiny winged creature had no anxiety and no fear. It was chirpy and full of life as if defying this banishment. She was lively and spirited. If she could fly on the wings of joy, why couldn’t I ???
ON THE WINGS OF JOY !!!
On The Wings of Joy I shall soar
And forget the problems of yore.
On The Wings of Joy I shall fly,
I shall not let life just pass me by.
On The Wings of Joy I shall sail,
Of hope I shall leave a visible trail.
On The Wings of Joy I shall glide,
From anxiety to liveliness I will slide.
On The Wings of Joy I shall ride,
Life is fun with nothing to hide.
On The Wings of Joy I shall flutter,
From my life I will get rid of all the clutter.
Yes, on The Wings of Joy I shall fly, fly and fly,
And create a world full of hope, love and joy.
On The Wings of Joy I shall fly
On The Wings of Joy I shall fly, fly, fly…

Forgive and forget what had happened. Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures. Relax !!! You are constantly evolving. Love yourself to bits.
