Sparkle in the crowd- arrive!

Everybody is intelligent.

When it matters, they are all hard-working.

What is the difference between you and every other?

What makes YOU stand out?

Why should you win?

Because you pray??

Almost everyone does that.

Besides, God's love isn't subject to bribery, is it?

If it teases your ego, it'll make you win

Sometimes, the lamp you're lighting, adamantly resists.

But you're strong-willed.

You face the fear of burning yourself.

And go on to overcome it.

Your heart beats wildly in it's cage.

Yet, you're surprisingly calm and spirited.

The matchsticks, you find, are so easy to strike.

They don't break this time.

You're evidently, quite pleased with yourself.

You bring the glowing match closer to the wick.

Blow the balloon, don't focus on the hole

There will be several laying claim to your weaknesses.

You'd be surprised at how close they are to you.

You might find yourself asking-

"What do they get by hurting me?"

They have ALL of your love.

They command every itsy bit of your attention.

You might not expect anything in return.

But surely, their unnecessary sting hurts.

Don't feel enraged.

I'll be here no matter what

You were worried to feel no stress until yesterday.

Today, you're so anxious that you feel frozen.

You swallow repeatedly on account of a dry mouth.

You breathe short, fiery, frequent, raspy breaths.

Result- You find that you're left oxygen-deprived.

You fumble with your phone, wondering whom to call.

You're talking to yourself, thinking up a solution.

You hear me screaming in your mind-

"Is this what I've taught you for so long??"

STOP.

I'm not saying any of that!

I want you to be honest with me.

So what if you're scared?

Will lying about it help?

Paint your picture true

You've been worried- not about your goal though.

Certain issues in your life have come to the fore.

You wonder about what kind of life you'll live.

You often think about where you're headed.

The achievements are one aspect.

But what is your purpose??

You do realize that this is an inappropriate time.

  

D-day is too close.

You find yourself swinging to and fro in your mind.

I want to bring you relief.

It takes a lot to win

Your task might take away from your relationships.

It might steal from you your honesty and forthrightness.

It might attempt to break your spirit.

It might leave you sore, hurt, teary, cranky and wanting.

But ALL of that is fair.

You were willing to give it your all, weren't you?

I must add a note.

All the loss is temporary- painful but temporary.

Soak in the luxury of a day off! :)

Taking a break is fine.

Retain your sanity and take care of you.

That itself is an important job.

You're doing commendably well.

It is easy for you to pick up the loose ends.

You're forging ahead, taking giant strides each time.

Several people quit at the same stage that you're at.

You're a fighter.

Let's spice up your life a bit, shall we?

You think I'm going to bore you with my usual talk, huh?

No, I won't! :D

I totally get that you're starting to feel saturated.

But guess what?

I'm here to make things a lot more fun for you.

Do you realize that the moroseness will be gone soon?

Life is going to be SO awesome!

Life is demanding you to look UP

You've always had very high expectations from yourself.

You've known for sure that you're capable of the best.

You're intelligent.

You're sensible.

You know that you grasp like a sponge.

You've learnt to be calm.

You've trained your mind to think positive thoughts.

Remember each thing I've said here.

YOU are the person I'm referring to.

The cure is at the core of it all

When your heart stings with broken emotion, trust me-

YOU are the biggest fool that ever lived.

You think you know what your heartache is all about.

But, oh no! Oh no, no, no!

If only you knew, you'd laugh out loud, too. :D

A wee bit of investigation is all it takes.

Hold on- You're getting there!

Is your enemy really who you think it is?

OR Is it just a red-flag that went up in your head again?

You could have that debate with yourself forever.

The fact is that words are YOUR greatest strength.

It is easy for you to read between the lines.

You know that most people mean well.

But you cannot for the life of you understand one thing-

Why do they speak before thinking, every time?

You're tired of decoding the truth masked by meanness.

You deserve what you give, don't you?

List your reasons to win and strike 'em off

Anyone who instills fear in you ought to be fenced out.

Those who sabotage your emotions aren't worth you.

The ones that harm you never win without your consent.

Everybody has an ace card up their sleeve.

Identify it.

Work your way around it.

To win, you've got to be forever on your toes.

You are alone in this

Don't care about the thorns.

Don't hurt on account of the sadists.

Don't take from the worriers.

Don't get enraged by the unaffected.

These are all reminders to you from God.

He sends them to you each day to give you direction.

He wants you to renew your resolve in every moment.

You were tailor-made for this

So, you're scared??

You've spent plenty of time thinking of what you'll do.

"What if this doesn't work out?"

Yes, there are other avenues.

Yes, you might have to accept something smaller.

You've talked yourself into it even.

You've convinced yourself that you'll be happy.

That is all just pure rubbish, if you ask me!

I'll tell you what I think- You won't be happy.

You will have compromised, however.

Isn't even the thought of that just pathetic to you?

Obstacle = Perception defect

The solution to life's problems lies in your perception.

You don't like biscuits.

But one fine day-

You decide to have some with your coffee/tea.

You dip one in for a tiny fraction of a minute.

And oops! :( :( :( It's gone. :0

It's sitting at the bottom of your unsweetened beverage.

Are you going to get ticked off?

OR Will you dare to wonder if life is hinting at you?

When guilt comes to bite, slam the door!

Somebody may love you to bits.

They may want the best for you always.

But even they may not understand YOU fully well.

Only YOU know WHAT you need.

You're the only one who knows WHEN you need it.

Burned-out?

It is a beautiful new day, today. :)

Don't chide yourself on having a bit of fun.

You WILL complete every task you've been assigned.

You will even outdo your target.

Your happiness, energy and bounce will make it happen.

  

Yes, D-day is close.

But life is NOW.

You don't harm one event to benefit the other, do you?

So, the pressure is building, huh?

1. Do one simple thing first.

STOP repeating that lame sentence to yourself.

It ain't doing you no good.

2. A little anxiety is good.

But you're letting it blow out of proportion.

THAT is sabotage- pure sabotage.

You aren't working for the enemy camp, are you?

You're winning

Sometimes, God gives you impatience.

When He does, consider it your luckiest moment.

In your irritation, purely out of frustration-

YOU will play your biggest masterstroke ever.

The reasons for it are simple.

There is a time for everything

Set a time limit and stick to it.

You can.

Eat, sleep, live, breathe, dream your goal.

Don't budge from your position.

The joy of achieving is immeasurable.

Don't allow yourself to digress.

Embarrassed of your existence??

Each day, you do several things.

Some of it is fabulous, some is good and some not.

Nobody really remembers any of it.

Only YOU keep the memory of it burning in your heart.

If it ups your self-esteem, great!

But if it embarrasses you, depresses you or drives you to the brink of suicide; something is amiss, don't you think??

Concealed Goodness

Even the devil is filled with goodness.

It is just like you and I- same texture and consistency.

The coating of evil is waiting to shed.

It might be tough- the Light within will break it apart.

Have you had a bad day?

Do you feel haunted and conquered by the wrong??

What really matters is You, Here and Now

At the most important times of your life, temptation resides deep within your being.

It is the parasite that eats you up from your very core.

Stop it from entering into your heart.

Don't let it penetrate into your mind.

You know exactly where you ought to be focusing.

Are you worrying about the future instead?

Or Are you lost in faint memories from your past?

Challenge yourself

The beauty of life is that you'll always live the next day.

Don't be floored by your progress from yesterday.

The goal is to keep rising.

Rise a step higher from where you are.

Keep going.

There is no full-stop.

You are needed

The Earth is our safe haven.

Goodness comes into it as frequent fresh bursts of light.

It's glow makes up for any evil that tries to take root.

But sometimes, negativity refuses to let go.

It wonders how long your niceness can persist.

What is your answer to that?

Can you go on if I tell you that YOU are needed??

How can I start loving myself?

Start small.

Anything drastic can seem unappealing.

Consider yourself to be a separate individual.

You know it's easy for you to love others.

Give this person in you the same kind of love.

Speak to him/her like you would to a victim of abuse.

Stand up for YOU

YOU are not someone else's thrash.

Don't let anyone compel you into believing otherwise.

Take a deep breath.

Think.

There is a solution to your every question.

YOU will have that last laugh

Take all of that fury from within you and rise.

Don't fall to your knees in helplessness.

Stop feeling miserable.

YOU are the ONE single hope glittering in my heart.
