Hope and Optimism the Game Changers of Life #Day17

By -


Being used to living in a practical life, we usually associate optimism and positive thinking with a utopian world and not the imperfect world we live in. While it's true that always wishing for things to happen your way is not always a good idea, but having a subconscious mindset of thinking everything will be okay, is much powerful than we think it is.

Hope is wishing for good things to happen. It can have different meanings for everyone. For businessmen it might be earning maximum profit from their deals and for a hungry man it could be as small as having a meal. Regardless of what you hope for, what it does to us is make us enthusiastic of the future and hence enthusiastic about working for it.

In times like these when the pandemic is taking toll on lives and our lifestyles have gone through big changes in different ways, hope is what keeps us going. The hope of this pandemic getting over helps us stay calm and focused on what lies ahead of us.

Lack of hope can make winners fail a winning race and failures win a race they think they are losing. Hope gives us a new ray of optimism and brings up a whole new perspective. It gives wings to dreams and motive to our thoughts. Hoping, unlike how it is perceived, is not just mere daydreaming. It's the building and planning of ways to get to success and achievements.

The only thing that makes hope impractical is when you hope for the impossible and when you have not worked hard for what you hope to achieve. The attitude must not be to build sandcastles in the air but to work hard as much as you can and then hope for the best instead of worrying about the outcome.

Art isn't limited to paper, pencil, and colors; it goes beyond that. It is a method to express your emotions, thoughts, and feelings. It is also found to be therapeutic by some.  Whether it is painting or sketching here are some tips to get started: 1. Brush Pen Techniques: You can use them for calligraphy and even for creating bold sketches or posters.  ◇ For Calligraphy : Calligraphy entails faux and real calligraphy.  ○ For the real kind, the upstrokes are supposed to be very light and put minimal pressure while the downstrokes are supposed to be thicker and firm. ○ For faux, create an outline of the word and then fill it in.

Let's get real about this - nobody feels cheerful and motivated to work all the time. In fact, many a times we fall into the loop of putting off work until the last day ending up with a huge pile of things to finish and then getting demotivated by the amount of work we have. You will find hundreds of advices and search results on "How to Stay Organized at Work". In fact even I did a similar article a while ago on how to get through a hectic day. But nobody tells us how to get out of this vicious loop of procrastinating until the very last minute possible and then feeling hopeless. So here are a few tips to get yourself in schedule back again: (1) Create a time table for yourself THE RIGHT WAY : I can nearly assure that you must have been told this once in your life - to create a time table, a to-do list, maintaining a diary, etc etc. However, one thing I have definitely learnt the hard way is that you need to make sure that your time table must be created in such a wa...

What I Learned from taking a break from Instagram

Having used the app for so long had made me immersed in this "virtual facade" for so long that I had forgotten to draw the difference between real life and social media and so getting out of the app for a while really helped me in gaining clarity. Recently, I reinstalled instagram since after a very long time I had the time to spend just scrolling by posts. But as I opened the app, I realized a lot of things about myself and the nature of social media in general. Firstly, the social media break made me lose interest in the lives of those people who didn't really matter to me in real life. Now this might seem absurd at first since that should not be happening anyway. Why would I have any interest in people whom I barely know? But Instagram makes you want to know more about them. All that everyone is doing is glamourising their lives in the best ways possible by putting the most aesthetic filters, the sassiest captions and the most inside jokes possible. Having used the ap...
