  After all the fussing around, It comes down to one point and one question, How badly do you want it? The distractions might be pleasant ones, making you all happy and cheery, but just for the time being... You would never want to let anything come in between you and your goal, that's how you succeed!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         - Shruti Bevara Motivation, a temporary desire; One thought that always kept me curious was, How are people consistent with their motivation game? What is it that they are doing right and I am lacking? It is like a 24*7 desire that drives them to the right path, to success! Years of self-analysis and numerous trials and errors brought me to this solution -  "Motivation is a temporary desire"  What drives a successful person is Consistency and D

We build new worlds, from the ashes of old flames... And wonder why they never stay burning. We inhale hope and exhale disappointment, guilt, and sorrow, thinking we breathe!                                                                                                             - Shruti Bevara    Do You Breathe Often? Yes, you read it right. I did ask Do You Breathe Often? Breathing is not inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide; it is about living in the moment . It is about being fully present at the moment, with zero distractions , and no thoughts jumping in and out of the mind. It is like meditating. Focusing on the present task. We tend to manage multiple things at a time. We multitask a lot. Especially women; multitasking is in our veins. We manage to dive into this bottomless well of tasks, and happenings of our lives that we forget we need a breather once in a while. To remind ourselves we don't function if we don't breathe. I am not here to talk about the ba

  Life is pure imperfection, change is inevitable and so is failure; We learn survival, only after loosing lives. We live it as if there's a tomorrow, but deep down we question, will there be a tomorrow?                                                                                                - Shruti Bevara What is failure? Failure !! Oh it is such a chaotic word! Don't you think? It is one such huge terms which changes the course of future by happening in the present, change is not positive even! At least we tend to think it is not in the present. Failure is lack of success. Failure means, there are expectations and wishes, and the person has not met up with those said expectations and dreams. Failure is seen to be such a negatively influenced term, but truth be told it is one of the most positively influenced one.  Failure is the state of not meeting the set objective, it is said to be the state of "inability" to meet an expectation and to perform a certain

  Even the most beautiful wave has to break, at the shore to return back to return back to itself; Unravel from the darkness to discover the real you!                                                                                      -Shruti Bevara What is open communication? I once read - "If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying"                                                                        - Dale Carnegie.  Being the homo sapiens, the highest in the order of food chain, highly intellectual mammals on the freaking earth! It comes with a lot of needs and desires. We should award ourselves for wanting more of everything! Because what we have is never enough, is it? There were days when having telephone (landline) at home was "Oh! those people are rich! They have a telephone" and everyone used to come home and use our phone to communicate. Fast forward to this day, who doesn

Pick up your abandoned dreams, Fold them back into your heart; Think, work on it. Until you find it a reality and not just a dream you have;                                                                                              Shruti Bevara What is INSOMNIA?? There's no denying when I say all of us, at some point ,of our "thousand nights" a life spend our time tossing and turning, more like rolling in our bed trying to (more like struggling) get some sleep into our lives. Hey! I can say I am guilty of being insomniac for the most crucial parts of my life. It is okay to admit our failures, struggles out loud. It is okay to be low, to feel unproductive sometimes, it is perfectly fine to ALLOW yourself to feel every emotion instead of burying it deep inside of you, for it to only burst out like a volcano of suppressed emotions on someone else one day. Anyways! that is a topic for another blog, back to our beloved insomnia! Insomnia - is a common sleep disorder wher

  "Expose yourself to your deepest fear, once you face it; the fear will have no power over you! Instead the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes; You are Free: Mind, Body and Soul;"                                                                                                             - Shruti Bevara  Balance; Life is all about balance - Hello! Let's talk about realistic stuff, more like things we see a person doing from day to day life, at some point we do it too. It sure is not a job (as you may think) but what exactly is it? "Management" Yes! Even a kid who goes to school is "managing". Managing the school work, studying for tests, exams and most importantly the play time! ain't no-one's missing that. Who doesn't love a good old school life!! Anyways, back to the topic; So what exactly is Balance? By definition it goes - The ability to maintain the line of gravity. Balance is the ability to distribute your weight in such a way that
