Self Image #1
Today morning's tea brought very sad news along about the suicide of young Bollywood actress Jiah Khan. And friends, there are many such youth suicides which take place almost everyday!! What is the common link??
Its simple - MOST PEOPLE SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE or atleast WHAT THEY ARE EXPECTING TO SEE. So is the case with ourselves, we see our life in a certain way.. With OUR OWN PERCEPTIONS..
The real danger lies when we are not able to see our entire life picture completely!
Now, as much as I believe what I just said, I do also believe that at times, LIFE IS VULNERABLE with its good times and “not-so-good” times.. good decisions and “not-so-good” decisions!
And it does get truly nerve-racking with increasing competition.. more stress.. self-created (at times even artificial) standards of the “so-called” ideal life!
And honestly who decides these standards? And on what basis??
Key Point: Check today, if YOU are constantly defining and creating YOUR OWN STANDARDS FOR YOUR IDEAL LIFE - based on your dreams and goals.. Get closer to achieving them everyday.. one day at a time

And if one goal seems to fall off, PLEASE DO NOT define your entire life only with that one thing!
Give up that habit of giving up.. Believe in yourself..
Feel sure, that there’s much more to you and to your life.. If need be - pause, heal yourself and get moving to your next goal..
Life is full of wonderful opportunities, only for the one who is waiting to grab them..
Cheers!
