Take control of your life

Greeting Readers A smooth sea never made a  skilled sailor We all have certain ambitions in our life and willing to take action towards achieving them. That person is not out there. You create that person you want to become. I am working on myself every day. I create myself with my habits with my mindset , my interests . I am creating my story every day , and I have a chance to start a new chapter . You can let go of that you don't know what to do in life, just by accepting how you feel. Don't let society  "whatsoever they think?". Take control of your life. They don't care: How are you feeling? then why should we care? To control your life: First, you have to accept your life as your own and should have self-realization that you are the only one who can change it at any moment. I do remember I used to think that "I won't start a blog. What if no one reads it. And what if someone laughs at me?" The core truth is, there is no "if" . Take...

Then we grew up and or we have to think about to have a job that pays well and score 99.9% to get admission in your favourite university. We've become a racer to this unknown race of life . Even we have no idea when this race will end and where its path is going. But close your eyes and ask your self are you happy with this. If your answer is "No" then say "Hakuna Matata".  And take your self out! oops sorry, I forget the Government of India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi ordered a nationwide lockdown for 21 days, limiting movement as a preventive measure against the COVID-19 pandemic in India. But no worries if you can't go out you can go in!  Give time ...
