I was watching this movie today- “Raya And the Last Dragon.” Me being me, I started feeling connected with the character Raya in it, A girl who finds it hard to trust people. But that’s what her learning is all about: learning to trust and acquiring the courage to trust. So yeah, my brain started to point at the stuff going on in my life currently. I realized that all I need at this point in my life is self-belief and the courage to take that first step even before I am ready. But again, where do I start from? After having lots of head-scratching, I found my answer. With a Mean drink! Hahahah! Yeah! A drink that is made up of Intentions and actions! I might not have all that it takes to reach where I want to be, but I always and definitely have what it takes to start! I have the intention to make it happen, and I can start taking action towards it. Practically and spiritually, this is the only way to go for the things you wish for in your life.

Sometimes life takes us to the roads where the journey exhausts us in all ways, the weather lows us, we can’t even see where the road leads to, where the next turn is. A journey, full of unexpected twists and turns. It all just drives us crazy. But if you keep reminding yourself where you want to reach and why have you started this journey, it will help you cross those haunted roads where there is always a fear of taking a wrong turn. When I am talking about the ‘wrong turn’, I mean going to rebel with yourself for a wrong cause. Don’t force anything on anyone, not even on yourself, even if it’s for good. Because most of the time, anything which is forced doesn’t give a positive outcome. And that’s why it becomes important to do anything with heart. Anything which you do with your heart becomes the intent. Doing things beyond the limits but without an intention brings regret and hurt. It makes the heart go hard.

One of the trickiest aspects of life. Almost all of us fall into the trap, sometimes because of emotions and sometimes because of ethics and culture. We always value the ones who we love rather than loving the ones who value us! We need to start surrounding ourselves more with the people who have good intentions for us, who value us, who appreciate our presence, who let us be ourselves, who bring out the best in us. But it can be seen that we allow ourselves surrounded by the ones who suppress us, who try to change us according to them, who try to limit us in different ways, who try to change us in the name of goodness without having goodness in their heart, for the sake of love, ethics and culture! It’s heartbreaking to witness this. Nothing is worth losing yourself, your inner voice; it is like letting someone grab your neck, choke you and take your breath away! Don’t be hard on yourself, don’t lose you breathes. Remind yourself that you too deserve kindness.

Human is indeed gifted with the art of uncertainty in many ways. Still, it’s all gifts and art until the universe itself knocks on your door with it. So we need to save our skill of uncertainty for other aspects of life and not for intentions! Intensions have to be certain from the beginning to the end!
