Hope, finding the benefit of hope.

Don’t be the nicest person! No,no, don’t get me wrong I’m not delusional… Don’t ever be the nicest person… Nicest person get hurt and they get betrayed… If you are the nicest person the next thing you’d do after getting hurt is to forgive them and to move on… and to move away from them… Now, don’t you ever try and be the mean person either… Being yourself doesn’t mean, you get pushed over, discarded and disrespected… and then expected that you be okay with all of it. Being yourself is standing for yourself. demanding the respect, drawing the boundaries with everyone and commanding your position. All the while by being kind and honest… Don’t be the nicest person. Be the person you have earned through all your hardships. Be the person you aspire to be, someday, everyday! -Hope

The one who never complained, always smiled and amidst all the pain stayed calm. People say be like lotus and bloom in a pool of ditch… but my goal is to be like You, my dearest Maama…  it’s been three full years without you!! Yet I still cannot accept that you are not here.  To me you are still there at your store, staying super busy minding your own business… One of my fondest memories of my childhood would definitely be seeing you work endless hours and still be very warm and fatherly… Your way of treating everyone felt so godly that no one could take your place. That heart of yours was so pure… always...  It hurts so much to know that you are not here with us… and that everything broke apart… Not talking to you while you were here, considering that I still have time will always be my biggest regret of this life…I miss you so dearly… those people around you didn’t deserve your love and kindness… they didn’t recognize your worth while you were here…...

I always believe that being yourself is the best gift you can give to yourself… The world is very beautiful but fragile, there are millions of people and countless circumstances that would influence you to do something against your thoughts and beliefs… Being yourself is not easy and will never be easy, no matter how old and accomplished you become, being the authentic self can be quite challenging. Or is it? and Wouldn’t this make you stagnant?  No, when I say, be yourself!  You, Be yourself, but still accept the fact that you can be wrong, Be yourself, by being humble no matter how high you rise, Be yourself, by being honest with everyone about your hardships,  Be yourself but whenever you see any opportunity to change the littlest of things for your betterment, accept and change, Be yourself and stand your ground for positive things, Be yourself and stand against negative things, Be yourself and know how to forgive and move ahead, Life is too short, Before ...

Sometimes truth breaks you,  it breaks you to see the light,  the light from the crack,  the crack from the bruise,  the bruise you said was alright,  the bruise you let become a scar   Sometimes truth breaks you,  to see the scar that reminds you of the truth,  the truth that you chose to ignore,  the truth that you defined as a lie,  the truth you thought was an illusion Sometimes truth breaks you,  to show you the mirage,  the mirage of your success,  the success that cost you your love,  the love you once took for granted. Sometimes truth breaks you,  to show you the parts of the regrets,  the accepted regrets from the mistakes,  the mistakes that seemed like a last chance,  the chances you hoped would last forever,  the hope you desired for one last time. Sometimes truth breaks you,  it breaks you to be kind,  the kindness that let you hope,  the hope that let y...

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter,  Your work, career, goals, busyness, traits, and millions of other things you navigate toward don't matter when you're not complete ... same old "I wish I was better today",  same old "I wish things will be better tomorrow" Same old trade of valuable relationships for valuable growth  Same old trade of "chance of making good memories with loved ones" for "chance of making something out of myself"  Same old loneliness even though surrounded by many,  Same old emptiness even after having all the wants, same old fatigue,  Same old "all is well" smile Same old "hoping for the best" faith same old patterns, but a magnified impact  All that matters is happiness and peace, at the end of every day at the end of everything! And that you are a better person than you were when you woke up... -Hope 

3 simple words that don't need any explanation, little did we know how many times we needed this and how many times we should have told them.  I understand you  we might have said this sentence in innumerable moments. To understand someone without belittling them, or without glorifying our problem. Being vulnerable in front of others and opening up about problems is the most difficult thing to go through as an individual and this adds a large toll to the problem making it an impossible situation. Though the world says you can build your life and only you can form your life , we need our loved ones at times of difficulty, and to share our joys.  If I say, the world is so atrocious and makes a person end their life, would you be shocked or would you say normality?  An estimated 703,000 people a year take their life around the world. For every suicide, there are likely 20 other people making a suicide attempt and many more have serious thoughts of suicide. M...

It is not the company that evolves with the change, it is the individuals within that company who identify the need for the change, bring in the change, and go through the change which is ultimately seen by the outside world as the company's growth evolution.  Now what is change, How to communicate this change without bringing a lot of commotion and fear? Is change always good? does it always give the desired outcome, and is it worth the effort? These are just surface area questions when there is a little to heavy modification in an organization structure.  If you think presenting such an idea is difficult then I would suggest you try and seed an idea into others mind,  If you think becoming that leader is difficult then I would advise you to try moulding one to be. Effective leaders are not just seen always on the screen, on flyers, or on rare mandatory occasions but rather are on the ground working with people for a common outcome.   This isn't new...
