Just Wait for second and look forward for life.





For most of us the average day includes a mix of things we both look forward to and things we don’t look forward to. We look forward to coffee in the morning, we regret that we have to go to work; we look forward to coming home at the end of the day, we dislike that we have to do laundry.
But how much of your life are you giving up if you dread, dislike, regret and don’t look forward to, say, 50 percent of your average day? Logical reasoning says that, based on this estimate, you’re giving up half of your entire life. And you’re giving it up simply because you aren’t looking at your life from a healthy perspective.
When we don’t look forward to something—when we don’t enjoy it—we aren’t very present in that current moment. It’s like life is just passing by, and we’re just waiting for it to pass so we can get on with the more fun or interesting parts of each day.
When we get caught up in this waiting-for-better-moments routine, we aren’t actively living, are we?
We end up passive, joyless, unhappy, and unfulfilled. All because we’re waiting for the good things in life to happen for us.
Stop waiting.
You can have crazy amounts of joy and excitement in life if you just change the perspective from which you view things. And you can do it by following this one simple rule:
Look forward to each day.
Looking forward to even the smallest parts of your day can not only make that day more enjoyable, but it can also improve your outlook on life, help you appreciate the things you have, keep you from getting stressed out, and help you have better relationships.
Look forward to each day and you’ll realize the millions of silver linings you’ve been ignoring, if only because you weren’t looking for them.
Maybe the first time you actively decide to look forward to going to work, you’ll realize how lucky you are to simply have a job. The next day you look forward to work, you might remember a kind act that someone at the office did for you the previous day and look forward to repaying that action.
Once you start looking forward to things more often, you’ll find more and more reasons to appreciate and be excited for everything that comes your way.
Look forward to paying your bills. You’re buying a roof over your head—something that other people in the world might never have the luxury to afford.
Look forward to sitting in traffic during rush hour; think of it as down time to reflect on the events of your day.
I might sound a little crazy to you right about now if you’re used to hating all of these things. Bills and traffic, after all, are never something to look forward to, right?
Only if you choose to have that perspective about them.

Be the craving for your long distance Bae!

You hear it all the time—relationships are hard work! It's two individuals coming together with their own imperfections, values, and belief systems. But long-distance relationships? Well, that's another category of challenging. I would never wish a long-distance relationship on anyone, especially doing it in the beginning of a relationship. Distance is a blessing in disguise. Distance teaches you unique, valuable lessons that you wouldn't ordinarily learn without going through this—and they're lessons every couple needs. Here are some of the most crucial ones: 1. Watch your tone. Communication is foundation to a strong relationship. And when you can't turn to any physical means of connecting, then it absolutely takes on a whole new priority. I learned quickly that the tone of my voice could be condescending and aggressive even when it was not my intention. My tone would easily turn a conversation into a negative one, and the only person to blame ...

Self Importance

Roughly speaking, a person builds up an idealized image of himself because he cannot tolerate himself as he actually is. The image apparently counteracts this calamity; but having placed himself on a pedestal, he can tolerate his real self still less and starts to rage against it, to despise himself and to chafe under the yoke of his own unattainable demands upon himself. He wavers then between self-adoration and self-contempt, between his idealized image and his despised image, with no solid middle ground to fall back on. There is, to mention only one other factor, the alienation from self that robs a person of his motor force. He can still be a good worker, he may even be able to make a considerable effort when put under external pressure, but he collapses when left to his own resources. This does not only mean that he cannot do anything constructive or enjoyable with his free time; it means nothing less than that all his creative forces may go to waste. When a person feels th...

Women’s day, a celebration that needs upgradation.

International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality. International Women's Day (IWD) has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific. Starting from the very history, during World War II, women were the backbone of the nation, taking on the jobs left vacant by men drafted into the army. At the end of the day, every woman would punch out and remind us: Anything a man could do, she could do better. Fast forward decades later and women still show us it’s no longer a man’s world. Women have left their mark on every industry and career path. There are many professions dominated by women like social service workers, teaching, veterans, and many more. Eve...
