If a child has poor self-esteem, it is because you advise them more than you encourage them. If a child lacks confidence, it means you have never allowed him/her to take any decisions.

Vijay, a man leading a dull and monotonous life, marries his vibrant childhood crush, Astha. Their happiness is short-lived when Astha is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Rather than succumbing to despair, Astha creates a bucket list of experiences she wants to fulfill before she dies.

When she passes away, Vijay is left with a heart full of memories and a new understanding of love, resilience, and the importance of living fully.

Redemption and Self-Improvement

"Her Last Wish" by Ajay K Pandey is a touching novel about Vijay, whose monotonous life changes when he marries his lively childhood crush, Astha. Their joy is short-lived as Astha is diagnosed with a terminal illness, forcing them to confront the complexities of life, love, and loss.

His father's over expectations only ruined his self-confidence further with each failure. A ray of hope walked into his life as his wife, a charismatic personality spreading joy wherever she went. Everything is going per plan, but darkness comes knocking soon. He finds out that she does not have much time to live and takes it upon himself to fight all odds – even his family, if need be – to help her fight her medical condition. His father sees his own redemption in helping them; he knows his son will be a winner only if he will fight for her, with her. Will a defeated son prove himself to be a good husband? Will the father-son duo together be able to change the course of fate? Her Last Wish is an inspiring story of love, relationships and sacrifice, which proves once again how a good wife makes the best husband.

Her Last Wish

Never stop believing in the universe because when we think that life gets tough to the point when it becomes extremely tiring to hold onto life and that nothing is working in our favor , just let go of all your worries and let the universe handle all of our problems but most of all we have to believe in the universes magic only then all of our wishes will come true and witness the magic in our life .

Magic Of Universe

"Desire is prayer "

These ideas make me feel that even though life becomes too tough my belief in the universes magic has made my life a little bit easier than before . 

Understand yourself and those around you.

Being alone is a power that very few can handle.

People are used to pairs. Pairs of socks, gloves, eyes, ears. And if not pairs than groups. We are just used to seeing people in pairs holding hands, or two friends sitting over a cup of tea, a group of friends having a picnic or going to a bar, so they can join the paired-up community.

What We Are Used To

People tend to feel out of place and weird when sitting alone in a restaurant or café, going to some event, cinema or just hanging out in the park, but that's totally unnecessary! Yes, you may recieve some weird looks from various people, but that's just because they can't fully grasp the concept, that you can enjoy the time you spend alone, because they have never tried it.

Preconceptions

When you recieve some of these looks don't worry, it usually isn't even about you... Those strangers go through tough times just like you do, so maybe they just needed to let go of some steam by throwing you a disgusted look.Just enjoy your time, have fun and do the things you always wanted to do.

Don't Let Them Judge You

Being alone teaches you many useful things. You have to take care of yourself and your surroundings, but you should also treat yourself.It doesn't matter if you will use something materialistic or spiritual, the goal is to pick up your mood and do something nice for yourself. You can take it as a reward for all your acomplishments.

Treat Yourself

Alone time is when I distance myself from the voices of the world so I can hear my own.

Living as a single responsible person with few to none friends, you can focus on improving your existing skills or on learning new ones.You can start going to pilates or fitness centre, improve your second language, learn to crochet, do pottery or write interesting articles, maybe even a book!The time you spend focusing on your life is simply the best gift you could ever recieve.

Focus On Your Growth

Sometimes, you need to be alone. Not to be lonely, but to enjoy your free time being yourself.

If you do ever feel lonely and not just alone, don't tell yourself that it will cross. It won't. So you better meet up with your friend for coffee or make new friends in the pottery studio you joined!Another great option is going to therapy. Even if you feel good, even if nothing bad happened to you. Just go there and talk. You will see how you feel afterwards.

Don't Overdo It

Sometimes you just need to live in your separate world.

How to be happy alone 

The end product of education should be a free creative man, who can battle against historical circumstances and adversities of nature.

Those who know, do. Those who understand, teach.

The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence

The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.

"Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace."

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.

It is by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by showing that we look, by writing that we think, by pumping that we draw water into the well.

The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you on to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth.

True teachers use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.

Defining a personal mission statement is crucial for providing direction and purpose in life. It helps to ensure that time and efforts are spent on meaningful activities, reflecting on life's finite nature.

Understanding the Importance of a Life Goal

A clear life mission guides decisions and aligns daily actions with long-term goals. It helps in creating a strong foundation for a purposeful life, as emphasized by Stephen Covey in "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

The Role of a Life Mission

1. Keep a DiaryEngage in free writing to explore feelings and values. Regularly review these entries to identify key life decisions and personal insights.2. Find a Role ModelIdentify and study individuals whose lives inspire you. Analyze their qualities and values to help define what you aspire to embody in your own life.3. Self-DefinitionReflect on your passions, strengths, and aspirations. This self-assessment helps in setting realistic and meaningful goals that align with your true interests.

Methods to Discover Your Mission (Part 1)

4. List Your ValuesClarify your core values through journaling or psychological tests. Use these values as a foundation for your personal mission statement.5. VolunteerGain practical experience by volunteering. This allows you to explore different paths and understand what resonates with you without long-term commitment.6. Create an Ideal PortraitWrite lists about how you want to excel in various roles (e.g., family member, professional). This exercise helps align your actions with your ideal self.

Methods to Discover Your Mission (Part 2)

Formulate a mission statement by clearly stating what you want from life and how to achieve it. Use positive language, refine the statement over time, and place it somewhere visible for daily inspiration.

Crafting Your Personal Mission Statement

Reassess your mission based on personal experiences and evolving priorities. For example, shifting focus from career achievements to nurturing family relationships can realign your mission with what truly brings happiness.<a href="https://substack.com/@oneweek1?utm_source=profile-page">You can subscribe me on Substack, I've wrote about my path in the post about mission</a>

Reflection on Personal Goals

I've searching for some time for real exercises to clarify a mission. Don't forget to follow, if this theme is valuable for you. 

Have you ever wondered what legacy you’ll leave behind? The thought might seem daunting, but considering what you’d want on your gravestone can profoundly clarify your life mission. It’s a stark…

How to Create a Personal Mission Statement That Truly Reflects Your Life Goals

There are two kinds of personalities. There are those who have everything and still complain as if they have nothing. And there are those who lose everything and act like life has given them everything. Sometimes both these personalities exist in the same soul. Kill the first one, I love the second.

Every person has his or her own ideology about life that gives them confidence

Different Perspectives

Society has never helped anyone; whether you do something right or wrong, it only criticizes

There are two kinds of personalities. There are those who have everything and still complain as if they have nothing. And there are those who lose everything and act like life has given them everything.

Ajay believes in living for himself; Bhavna teaches him to live for others. Ajay is a planner for life; Bhavna makes him live in every moment. You are the Best Wife is a story of two people with contradictory ideologies who fall in love. It changes them for good. It changes the way they look at the world and the way the world looks at them. Until destiny reveals its plans. This is a true inspiring story of the author and his struggle with life, after his beloved wife left him halfway through their journey. But her last words, ‘you are the best husband’ gave him the strength to live on, and fulfil his promise of love. Told with frankness and doses of humor, this heartwarming tale of a boy and a girl who never gave up on their love in face of adversities, ends on a bittersweet and poignant note as Ajay comes to terms with the biggest lesson life has to offer.

You are the Best Wife

Forgiveness is a conscious decision to let go of resentment, anger, and desire for revenge towards those who have hurt us. It breaks the cycle of negative emotions and allows us to move forward with our lives.When we hold onto grudges, it creates feelings of hostility and wariness that can damage our relationships and hinder our personal growth.🙏 Choose forgiveness and free yourself from emotional burdens. 🌱

The Power of Forgiveness

Self-compassion entails the recognition from people who have hurt us, it creates a core feeling of animosity and distrust that may stifle our interactions and limit our possibilities of being genuinely connected with others.Self-acceptance is a process of love and acceptance of the whole self with imperfections and without special circumstances and conditions. It signifies recognizing that we are of worth.We are unconditionally valuable due to our humanity combined with all its variations, weariness, and distinctive existences.

The Importance of Self-Compassion and Self-Acceptance

Radical forgiveness doesn't mean excusing or staying in touch with the offender, nor absolving them of responsibility. It's about acknowledging the inherent worth of all people and showing compassion, even in the face of hurt and betrayal.Rushing into forgiveness can be liberating, allowing an individual to break free from a victim mindset and reclaim their power as the author of their own story.

Empathy and Radical Forgiveness: A Path to Empowerment

Journeying Toward Tranquility in Letting Go

The Forgiveness Journey by Monday Farouq

"If you have nothing good to say, remain silent. Each time you open your mouth to speak, you're letting others know the state of your mind & what's in your heart. If your heart is filled with bitterness, it will come out in your words. Be mindful of what's going on inside you!"

" We are not created to please creation but rather to please the creator. "

" You don't have to be good at something in order to enjoy it. "

" You are trying to understand madness with logic! This is not unlike searching for darkness with a torch.

" Dont grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form. "

" A lot of people become unattractive once you find out how they think. "

" A fool is known by his speech; a wise man by silence. "

" Don't be afraid to start over again. This time, you are not starting from scratch, but from experience. "

" Do not disturb yourself by imagining your whole life at once.

" Just because you pain is unbearable, doesn't mean that your behaviour is acceptable. "

" No one is perfect Charlie brown. That's why pencils have erasers.

" The bravest people don't mind looking like cowards.

" Who are we to judge other when we walk imperfectly ourselves. "
