“Nature shows that with the growth of intelligence comes increased capacity for pain, and it is only with the highest degree of intelligence that suffering reaches its supreme point.”  -Arthur Schopenhauer Everyone is afraid of pain. We try to avoid every painful experience we ever had but still continue to be in a state of psychological pain. And the more we try to keep away from pain, the more we find ourselves in pain, because by avoiding it we can’t find out what is the cure for it. If you are sick of your pain and your suffering, know that there is another way. You can invite your deepest pain, to become your greatest teacher and take yourself further along the growth path. The choice is yours. The experiences we have and how it is registered in our minds also play a great role. That is why painful experiences teach us a lot. It is a mental condition which causes a pain inside your emotional heart. It implies that something is wrong with our life and ...

Don’t let negative thoughts surround you welcome positivity and live with it. Remember my friend if life is throwing lemons at y...

“Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.” ---- Anais Nin Friendship is the most beautiful and wonderful relationship that an individual shares.It is a special kind of love.

Ever wondered, what is the impact of our thinking on our life? In both, our professional as well as personal life we have two types of thoughts positive and negative. So basically these people are called optimists and pessimists. Our attitude defines our whole thinking. Attitude is a choice, we live with it. It reflects our way of perceiving life. Optimists, the people with a positive attitude towards life, live life more casually then the pessimists. The pessimists remain negative for a long time but when the problem passes by their life comes to an equilibrium again. Negative attitude leads to unhappiness and depression.

Hello Readers. I am back after a long gap.Sorry to keep you waiting. It is said that humility is the key to success. Humility in a dictionary is defined as the quality of having modest or low view of one’s importance. It is a skill to admit that we have problems, experience pain, make mistakes, we are faulty, act in ways we shouldn't have, say things that are not good, think bad for others etc. the list goes on. We face all the negative and painful conditions without trying to escape from them because humility helps us understand it. How can we escape from a prison if we don't admit that we are a prisoner? How can we run if we cannot even walk?How can we swim if we are afraid of water? How can we solve our problems if we do not admit that we have them? Humility saves us from arrogance, false pride, overconfidence, egotism etc. It is a necessary quality for self-improvement of a human being and helps him/her grow and heal. It helps us to find answers to our own pro...
