I never realized you loved ne

I had chased people for so long trying to convince them to love me to no avail.
I wanted to be loved so much that it clouded my judgement and made me want the right thing with the wrong person too often.
I never realized that you can’t make someone love you, no matter how hard you try and how much you want them to..
I fought to win the heart of potential partners and I tried to befriend people that weren’t meant to be in my life.
It’s a very upsetting feeling to get rejected by people that you want in your life..
Until you realize that they aren’t your people.
It’s hard lesson to learn, but the moment I met someone that I just clicked with from the first hello..
That’s when I realized the truth of love.
You can’t make anyone love you that doesn’t want to ..and the ones who are your people will love you, regardless of time, distance or behavior.
Those are my people..the ones that have my back, love me unconditionally and accept me, flaws and all.
I don’t have to talk them into my being my friend and loving me..they just do.
Love will come when it is time..and nothing I can do will change that.
I stopped trying to force people into what I thought my love story should be and started just loving myself more.
I’d let my friends find me however they were supposed to and I’d love them unconditionally when they finally showed up..
I worked on me and let true love find me when it was time.
I knew that it would happen when I least expect it in the most unexpected way..
And one fine afternoon, a simple hello from a beautiful soul reminded me why all the others never worked out.
When I stopped trying to love the wrong people and started going where the love is..
Everything changed.
I was so thankful that I stopped trying to force love and let it be..
Let it happen naturally, as love has rules all its own..and what we want doesn’t always work out.
And it made all the difference, after all.
I went where the love was, and I couldn’t have imagined a happier place to be..

That moment you think while world is crashing on you

I know there’s days when you wake up and the whole world seems to be crashing down on your shoulders.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
You don’t have to have it all figured out or even know where the day will take you.
There’s always going to be those days that you can’t seem to get anything right and everything just piles up.
You don’t have to conquer it all at once.
Stop focusing on the whole weight of your world and take it one step at a time..
Baby steps, if you have to.
Every one of us is a mess sometimes, we all have moments where we just want to cry..
And if you need to, just let it out.
Tackle each thing, job and task one at a time and keep moving forward.
Some days, you’ll feel as though you can do anything and other days, you’ll put your keys in the refrigerator.
That’s just life- some good days, some bad days and the days that make you want to quit.
You’ll never be perfect, but the great thing is..you don’t have to be.
Don’t put unrealistic expectations on yourself and then let the worry of how you’ll get it all done stress you out.
Most importantly, stop being in a hurry all the time to do all the things and get everywhere super fast..
You’ll miss some of life’s greatest little moments if you’re zooming through trying to conquer life without stopping.
Never get too busy doing and forget to live along the way.
Do the things, get the jobs done, be efficient..
But more than that, notice the small things- the smell of a fresh morning dew, the beauty of the world around us, the laughter of small children playing.
That’s the stuff of memories that you’ll miss if you’re in a tizzy worrying about all the tasks and things to do.
Don’t neglect them- they’re important- but don’t neglect yourself, either.
Take the time to fill your heart and soul with the joy that replenish you with the good stuff.
So, yes, you’re going to be a mess some days, and sometimes, you’ll be figuring it out as you go..
Just keep moving forward and do what you can, how you can, when you can.
Most of all, don’t stop living and enjoying your life.
After all, what good is it to conquer the world if you don’t take the time to enjoy it along the way?
Each day is a new opportunity to start a new chapter.
Keep going..you’ll get where you need to be when you need to be there.
It just takes a little time, effort and patience sometimes.
You got this.

I wanted to be loved

Healthy visitors

Patience visited me
And it reminded me 
That good things take time to come to fruition
And grow slowly with stability 
Peace visited me 
And it reminded me 
That I may remain calm through the storms of life 
Regardless of the chaos surrounding me 
Hope visited me 
And it reminded me 
That better times lay ahead 
And it would always be there to guide and uplift me
Humility visited me 
And it reminded me 
That I may achieve it 
Not by trying to shrink myself and make myself less
But by focusing on serving the world and uplifting those around me
Kindness visited me
And it reminded me 
To be more gentle, forgiving and compassionate toward myself 
And those surrounding me
Confidence visited me
And it reminded me
To not conceal or suppress my gifts and talents 
In order to make others feel more comfortable 
But to embrace what makes me me 
Focus visited me
And it reminded me
That other people’s insecurities and judgements about me
Are not my problem 
And I should redirect my attention 
From others back to me 
Freedom visited me 
And it reminded me 
That no one has control over my mindset, thoughts and wellbeing 
But me
And love visited me 
And it reminded me 
That I need not search for it in others
As it lies within me.

Be your best

Why is being your best self more important than being the best of all?
Becoming our best self means recognising our shortcomings, learning from our mistakes, and improving ourselves. It not only helps us in personal growth but also creates a pattern of overall development for us.
We live in a competitive world and focus on other people's abilities rather than our own because our goal is only to surpass them. This attitude may lead to initial success, but in the long run, it hinders our progress because we never allow ourselves the opportunity to know how far we can go, how much we can explore, and what we can become.
To discover your true capabilities, you need to focus on self-development. Analyse yourself every day, challenge yourself to do something more, stay strong in difficult situations and aim to improve every day. Once you start focusing on becoming your best self, you will look to others only to learn from, not to compare.
Dr Bhawna Gautam

I need you to stand

Underneath all that you do, the main purpose of your life is to love: to both give love and receive it, by carrying and transmitting an energy of love and healing into every single interaction you have. For example, a cleaner is not just a cleaner; they are transforming the energy of a space. A builder is not just a builder; they are creating a foundation for dreams. And a teacher is not just a teacher; they aren't shaping the minds of the future.
