“Be thankful for what you have, you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never ever have enough.” Oprah Winfrey

 

Gratitude is a powerful tool that we all can apply to our life. There are many different ways you can express gratitude, such as by your thoughts, feelings and actions. The word gratitude is derived from the Latin word gratia, which means grace, graciousness, or gratefulness. There are psychological, physical and social benefits you get when you become grateful for people, things and situations in your life.

Reflecting back on my life there are many life lessons I am grateful for. Those experiences have helped me to grow as an individual. It allowed me to understand that human beings always crave for love, appreciation and belongingness. It also aided me to realize that people want to feel important. So today I want to thank you all for letting me feel the same and trusting me to help you on your life journey.

One of the best experience in my life is that when I was unable go on stage to sing as an eight year old because of my financial situation. Today when I reflect back on that incident, I am blessed to have a mother who handled that situation in a manner that didn’t let my eight year old self realize she was unable to go on stage because of that. She asked me to choose between a holiday trip and singing competition. I chose the trip. That incident helped me to take decisions and be grateful for everything in life no matter what. Today I thank her for that life lesson and many more.

Many times we forget to be grateful for past events because we see it in a negative way. Everything is designed perfectly by God.

Always remember “What you resist persists”. Before you face a difficulty in life, it always whispers to you but if you don't listen and pay attention you will hear a scream. This is life's way of saying you need to change and grow.

Becoming the Woman I Needed: A Birthday Reflection for Every Soul Still Becoming

-

Today is more than a birthday. It is a celebration of the woman I have become, and the woman I continue to grow into. This message is not only for me. It is for you — for the women and men who are silently carrying battles the world never sees. Some of us smile while carrying invisible weight. This is for those hearts, and also for those who speak without knowing what others are going through. Let this be a lesson to pause, to listen, and to choose kindness. I grew up without a father figure. That absence created a gap, but my mother filled it with her strength. She was both mother and father. Her resilience shaped me. She taught me that love and responsibility are not about roles, but about action. Watching her lead our lives gave me the foundation to walk tall, even when my knees felt weak. In 2012, I made a painful decision. I was just four months away from completing my degree when my baby became critically unwell. There was no one else to care for the child, so I stepped back from...

Finding Strength in Uncertainty: Lessons of Inner Peace and Spiritual Growth

-

 As I stepped out of the home I had lived in for 19 years, with two debts in my name, I was afraid of what the future held. Having never experienced living with others, moving into a new home with unfamiliar people frightened me even more than the financial burden I carried. I believe in not boasting about the good we do, so I’ll leave out the details of why the debts were under my name. Regardless, this was the moment in my life when I had to gather all my strength to survive, knowing it was just a temporary phase that would eventually pass. I worked longer hours just to earn enough to cover my essentials. I am blessed that the new life I started wasn’t as daunting as I had imagined. This is when I realized that what we tell ourselves truly matters. From that day forward, I began seeking inner happiness. People often see me as a bubbly person—not because I don’t experience hardships, but because I refuse to let those challenges control my inner peace. The lessons I learned then ar...

A Glimpse into Motherhood

I still remember the day I found out I was pregnant with my first child. I was in the middle of pursuing my degree, focused on building my future. It was a surprise— one I wasn’t ready for. I didn’t know the first thing about motherhood. I only knew what I had seen in my own mother: a woman who gave everything she had to give us a better life. She worked tirelessly, often silently battling exhaustion and heartache, but she always wore a smile. That smile stayed with me. It wasn’t just about being strong— it was about choosing love, even when it was hard. Her quiet resilience gave me a spark: maybe motherhood, despite its demands, was a beautiful role. At the end of the day, you have someone to return to. You have your own blood by your side. When my daughter was born, I was afraid to hold her. I felt unsure, disconnected, even sad. I later came to understand that I was experiencing what many mothers do— baby blues , a period of emotional vulnerability after childbirth. E verything ch...
