Image
Have you ever had an unexplained sense of sadness despite having an ideal existence with a fulfilling career, a loving family, and a busy social life? Even harmless remarks can cause this sense of emptiness and isolation, leaving one feeling helpless and overwhelmed. This  can be a confusing and lonely experience. But what if I told you there's a reason you feel this way, and more importantly, there are ways to move forward? For weeks, I used to walk in the same patterns of turmoil. Initially, I blamed external circumstances, desperately searching for answers in books, hoping the universe would offer a clue. While a definitive answer never came, the messages I found consistently pointed towards self-love, patience, and a stronger connection to a higher power. Recently, however, I had a breakthrough. I realized that all along, signs pointed to a lack of self-compassion. More importantly, I figured out how to get back on track. In this blog post, we'll explore these si...

Dive Deep: The Key to Everything Lies Inside

Image
We are social beings. We crave connections, love, and a sense of belonging.  Everybody wants to be liked and appreciated by others, thus we all look for friends and a particular someone to spend our time with. We hope they will choose us, value us, and desire for us to be in their lives. Even most of the time, we are busy with our work, but when we are free, say weekends, we overthink, call friends to hang out, and if they have plans, we get sad. But not even for one second, we find this rejection a redirection: the  Universe  wants us to be alone for a reason. It has its  own  plans, which we normal people can't understand.  Perhaps it's an opportunity to stop, think, and get back in touch with ourselves.  Consider witnessing friends in fulfilling partnerships. Even while it could at first make you feel alone, this response can be a very useful one. It can help us identify areas in our own lives that require improvement or attention. Let us ...

If you are feeling sad, depressed, or bored, you cannot always put it to someone else. You cannot always blame the situations in your life unless you are willing to take responsibility. Ever heard someone always complaining about their health, relationships, finances, job, boss, or career? Do you want to be with that person? No right! Every time they come to you or call you to talk about their sad events, you wish they cut the phone soon so you don't have to listen to their bullshit or the same repetitive story. But do you realize you have become the same person unconsciously in the eyes of the universe? Why would the universe give you peace, love, abundance, joy, and happiness if you are always playing the victim card? The knowledge the universe holds, you have the same. All you need to do is search for it by going within! It's time you stop letting outside circ...
