Photo: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/love+being+single+posters I came across this beautiful article today. I am writing it down here so that some day I will read it again and again and again. Original post here . ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- There I said it. I’m not looking for pity or reassurance that someone will come along. I’m not looking for the sympathy. I’m just stating a fact. Most days I am quite fine with it. But we all have days where life is just not quite what you thought it would be or should be. As humans, we long for connection. We were not meant to go it alone. We need that feeling of belonging. We all have connections with others; our family, our kids or our friends. But that connection with someone special is just different. I have lots of people in my life that love me. I am, indeed, a very lucky person. But some days—sigh—well some days I long for more. Some days, paying the bills on our own sucks . Some days an...

  https://pngtree.com/freepng/poster-illustration-love-heart-shaped-pink-love_3946415.html Based on this post, there are 14 stages/degrees of love in the Arabic language. 1. Al-Hawa (Attraction) Love begins with attraction and lust, which is described in Arabic as "al-hawa". This is when emotions are running high, but they're still indefinite... kinda like when you're swooning over a crush.  2. Al-Sabwa (Amusement) "Al-sabwa" is derived from the Arabic word الصبا (al-siba), which means boyhood. This phase depicts the sweet spot before things get real, when two people are enjoying each other's company without putting a label on the relationship. The "flirtationship" hasn't evolved into a legit relationship yet, but it might. 3. Al-Shaghaf (Passion) This is when feelings of actual love begin to surface and people are basically love-struck. The Arabic word "al-shaghaf" refers to الشغافة (al-shaghafa), which is the outer layer of the ...

Crying is no sign of weakness; quite the opposite.  Sometimes you have a shallow understanding of emotions, and you set up too much of a barrier  that makes you cold. A good exercise for today would be to let go of all those emotional devices that stop you from fully experiencing your feelings.  And that's what life is about, Geminis, emotions. Life needs to be lived radically. Experience naturally the situations that bring you to breaking point, whether they're sad or happy.  Crying will make you empty your insides so that you can fill the void with love and positive feelings.  Sometimes, when we want a rebirth, we need to let some feelings wither and die. via  MagicHoroscope

via Power of Positivity 10 Laws Of Karma That Will Change Your Life Modern-day life brings us many factors that weigh us down mentally, physically, and spiritually. If these negative aspects of life are allowed to take over and become all-consuming, we can become physically ill or even say or do things to others that could, in turn, be harmful to them thus spreading the poison of negativity. Therefore, it is imperative that we all learn to take care of our own mind, body, and soul. One way we can work to lift the burden of negativity from our shoulders is to  be aware of how actions bring consequences . More specifically, we can practice the laws of karma and let that guide us to a life of peace. Karma is basically an understanding that good becomes good and bad becomes bad, and life is a constant exchange of cause and effect. As we practice the law of karma, we can find inner peace which will give us better mental clarity, better physical health, and also be extended ...

गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुर्गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः । गुरुरेव परं ब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः ॥१॥ Our creation is that guru ( Brahma -the force of creation); the duration of our lives is that guru ( Vishnu -the force of preservation); our trials, tribulations, illnesses, calamities and the death of the body is that guru ( devo Maheshwara -the force of destruction or transformation). There is a guru nearby ( Guru Sakshat ) and a guru that is beyond the beyond ( param Brahma ). I make my offering ( tasmai ) to the beautiful ( shri ) remover of my darkness, my ignorance; ( Guru ) it is to you I bow and lay down my life ( namah ). Guru is the remover of darkness: Gu means darkness, and Ru means remover. Darkness refers to what obscures the light of awareness. Guru is the enlightenment principal that aids one in the realization of the true Self, the whole Self, the holy Self. The guru removes   avidya , or ignorance, which is a case of mistaken identity. It is when you think y...

Mo Gawdat, Executive at Google shares some of his thoughts on #Happiness. Truly, happiness is not about what the world gives, happiness is about 'what you think' the world gives you. Happiness is equal to or greater than the difference between the way you see the events of your life and your expectations of how life should behave. We have mixed two things, HAPPINESS AND FUN. Fun is the modern world's replacement of happiness. When I am unable to reach that state of happiness, what I do is I go out on a weekend and party and BOOM BOOM! and my brain STOPS thinking. As long as it stops thinking, I think I feel happy. Not because I am actually in that peaceful state of happiness but because I suspended my unhappy thoughts.

Bright Side  has compiled a list of the most surprising psychology facts that can help you better understand yourself and others. Any friendship that was born in the period between 16 and 28 years of age is more likely to be robust and long lasting. Women generally prefer men with deep husky voices because they seem more confident and not aggressive. The people who give the best advice are usually the ones with the most problems. The smarter the person is, the faster he thinks, and the sloppier his handwriting is. Our emotions don’t affect the way we communicate. In fact, the very opposite is true: the way we communicate has an influence on our mood. The way a person treats restaurant staff reveals a lot about their character. People who have a strong sense of guilt are better at understanding other people’s thoughts and feelings. Men are not funnier ...

DEPRESSION "दबे पाउ आकर बेठ जाता है,  हमारे अन्दर ... चलो उसको जाने, पहचाने... जरा सा भी कुछ सहि ना लागे, तो देखे दोबारा, सम्झे दोबारा" I am myself a victim of depression, a chronice and periodic one. It is not always. But there are times, I have no control of what I am feeling. Am I an expert in this? NO! But writing helps me not have that phase. And that's why I want to write about this as well. BEING ALERT HELPS A LOT. Being alert that you might be actually a victim of depression helps. Here's how Deepika Padukone (yes, the superstar) talks about how she felt about her phase. "I felt empty; directionless. I didn't know where to go, what to do. My mind stopped talking to me. I felt a pit in my stomach. I kept crying. I didn't know what was wrong. I often locked myself up and cried. I lost my appetite. Sometimes being out and around people helped. Sometimes, it didn't. When I was out and about and with people, I felt ok. When I wa...
