“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.

Why We Become a Child Again Around Our Mother

They say a mother can take your pain away and make you feel like a child again. It is true—not just in a poetic sense, but in a very real psychological way. After living with my in-laws for some time, I started to notice something strange whenever I visited my mother. The moment I entered her home, something inside me shifted. My voice softened. I felt lighter. I would leave responsibilities at the door and sit on the floor or curl up on the sofa like I used to. I was not acting strong or trying to be put together—I simply became… myself. A softer, more vulnerable, more peaceful version of who I am. I often found myself wondering, “Is this really me? Or am I just slipping into some old pattern?” That question stayed with me until I started reading about the neuroscience and psychology behind it. What I learned made everything make sense. The Brain Remembers Safety Our brains are wired to remember emotions. When you are around your mother—especially if she represents love, sa...

When Pain Finds a Voice: A Story That Mirrors the Lives of Many Women

With my client’s full consent—while keeping her identity protected—I am sharing a story that reflects the silent suffering many women carry in their hearts. As I sat listening to her, I realised how deeply emotional distress shapes a woman’s life, and how many endure heartbreaking experiences behind closed doors. No woman should ever face such pain alone, yet her story echoes countless untold stories in our society. What moved me most was the resilience in her voice. She did not speak like someone defeated. She spoke like a woman who will one day look back and recognise the strength it took to speak up, to rise, and to share her truth so that even one other woman may find the courage to change her life. She discovered her husband had been cheating on her, but long before the betrayal surfaced, she had been living under constant criticism and fault-finding. While she devoted herself to raising their three children—building a home filled with warmth, stability, cleanliness, and love—he d...

My Experience in HDh. Kulhudhuffushi

My recent trip to HDh. Kulhudhuffushi for a training and group coaching turned out to be much more than a professional assignment—it became a journey of learning, connection, and cultural discovery. Having lived all my life in the capital city, Malé, I have always been familiar with its fast pace, modern lifestyle, and limited sense of community due to the city’s busy rhythm. Although I used to travel to islands as a child, years passed without such experiences. Now, traveling as a professional—conducting training and coaching sessions—has given a completely new meaning to island visits. Kulhudhuffushi, often called the “heart of the north,” is one of the largest and most vibrant islands in the northern Maldives. It serves as the main hub of Haa Dhaalu Atoll, connecting the surrounding islands through its port and domestic airport. The island is well-developed, with schools, healthcare facilities, shops, and cafés, yet it still carries the charm of island life—peaceful, community-drive...
