There's something so very liberating and soul-satisfying about redemption
A chance to make ammends
A chance to eliminate the ghosts of the past
Life doesn't give you a lot of those
So whenever you get one
Make full use of it

Your religion or nationality doesn't define you
Your words and actions do
It's pretty sad that a lot of people still think that people belonging to a particular religion or country are terrorists
Terrorism has no religion
When a bomb goes off or when a bullet is fired
It doesn't pick and choose it's victims

It's amazing as to the effect self-belief and confidence can have upon you
For if you have these two
Even the most daunting of tasks can be accomplished
And the greatest challenge lies in having these two attributes when things are going bad
For that is the real test...
...When no one gives you a chance
Give yourself a chance by believing in yourself and being confident in your abilities

Boy when you lose your health..you really do lose your mind!!!
It's true what they say..'health is truly wealth.'

It's pointless trying to hold on to someone whose heart is no longer inclined towards you..you have to let go of that person and all the memories associated with him,no matter how hard and painful it might be.Sometimes it hurts to do the right thing but you still have to do it.

It heats up your mind
Makes you lose your senses
It makes you lose control
It  makes you do things which you later regret
It is never a pleasant thing
But sometimes it’s just a natural reaction to a certain thing
But never take any decision when under the influence of it
When angry try and curb your instinct to react unless and until you feel that you must react
At times keeping your cool is not easy
But it is the smarter thing to do
If a confrontation or an argument can be avoided then try to do so
Anger mostly leads to something undesirable
You will come across people in life who will constantly provoke you
And by reacting to what they say you will just be making them feel important
We all have rage inside of us
But rage can be displayed in a non-violent manner as well
When angry write down what you are feeling
Just distract your mind
Get away from that place
Channel your anger into something productive
I know at times it can be a bit difficult
Sometimes things reach a boiling point and you just want to burst out
And at times you should probably do that
But in general try and curb your anger
For it never does you any good

As Aristotle had once said:-
“Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.”

Drugs and medicines will not help you get through depression
Rather it is your courage,willpower and effort which will help you overcome depression
When going through depression..try and divert your mind from the thought that is depressing you
Engage your mind in some sort of an activity or the other
Sometimes a change of environment helps..travel to some other place
Offer a prayer everyday
Write down what you feel..don't keep it imprisoned within you
Talk to your close friends and family
Talk to people who you think will understand you
Try and accept the reality and move on
I know it's all easier said than done
But that's the only way
I have gone through it many times at various stages of my life
And i know it's not easy
But if you want to defeat depression..you have to conquer yourself first
Remember..no one will be able to help you unless and until you're ready to help yourself
