Spreading Positivity

  || SELF CARE ||   I love this statement: 'Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what's left of you.' When a soldier prepares himself or herself, they have to undergo a lot of exams and a lot of training, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional. It's intense training, and they have to have a stable mind and think rationally, as so many people's lives and responsibilities the country has given to them. If a soldier is given the responsibility to fly and demolish the enemies' area, and if their heart or body is not functioning well, the whole country will be in danger. All soldiers, in reaching their own dream destination of being there for their country, first have to take care of themselves. They not only have to build themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally, but also need to be alert about themselves and about the critical situations around them. Regular exercises, continuous physical and mental training, self-care, and se...

  || VISION FOR MISSION ||     How about a New Year's resolution vision to become a better human being and a mission to be a better human being? It is said that a vision is what you want to do, and a mission is what you have to do.

Regardless of what happens, we will always be who we are. As human beings, we should strive to be better individuals, whether it is in our professional work, as members of a family, as part of a community, or as citizens of a country. As a child, I aspired to become a doctor but couldn't get admission, so I became an audiologist and speech-language pathologist. Once I chose to pursue such a profession, my goal was to be one of the best professionals. Throughout this journey, I realized that no matter what you do in life, unless and until you are a kind and consider...

  || IDENTIFY YOUR INNER STRENGTHS ||   Whenever a new year starts, many times we, as human beings, have a general habit of making new resolutions and thinking of trying something different. Nowadays, in the fast pace of the world, everyone wants change—whether it's a change in routine life or a change in the way they eat, drink, sleep, or work. Now, the new generation or the new era requires a change in relationships as well, very fast. Working with many parents, youngsters, and senior elders, what I have observed is that the major changes people feel the need to make are often due to peer pressure. Many times, we try to follow what others do. Recently, we follow so many people on social media and try to move with that flow. I have seen a few people who study and do research, trying their best to develop something new. There are also those who work hard to overcome the challenges of their lives, and the majority of people just flow with the competition and often feel inse...
