There would be no light without darkness

There is always a duality to things- good and bad, plus and minus, yin and yang, heaven and hell, the list goes on. Why should we be aware of those? Simply because we are always struggling to find a balance. We keep moving back and forth towards each extremity and that is no right. This takes away lots of energy. 

One thing I realised is that one cannot exist without the other. It's like light. Without darkness, there would be no light. I really like this anology because it emphasizes on how we always have a tendency to  go closer to eitherone side. When we start questioning life and our existence, remember that what seems like a bad thing also holds good. Everything comes as a blessing in disguise. We only have to be willing to see it. 

Be open and don't let yourself close in front of everything that happens before you. Most of the events in life can't be controlled, but you get to choose how you want to react. You don't want to give any power to those negative aspects, so let go. Choose to embrace positivity. Stay in the light when there is darkness- remember it's always there, but you have to be open to see it.

This is it

This is going to be an honest open letter about what I've been through lately.  For a long time, I felt like I was trying but not able to contribute. There is a lot of fear surrounding what I want to create. I stumble, I fall, I rise.  It's a never-ending battle. When the mind is in play, there is always a resistant of thoughts. My thought patterns haven't been the most positive. I was a bit harsh on myself. Actually, it's like I don't know what I was doing. I was lost. I get shivers writing this. It's like these new year resolutions. You have so much hope in the future. They hardly ever come true. This is the problem: to not live in the future. I try though. To live in the present, be mindful. Let go of the past. I've read so much. This is a bit contradictory in a way. I'm constantly looking for the next book that is going to help me. Which is telling my self that I'm not okay. I'm relying on external support to make me feel bet...

Ripples of Goodness

Steph's ripples is all about making a positive impact in this world. I've spent a quarter of a century, thinking that I'm unable to make any changes to myself, my surroundings, and the world. I was self-limited and blinded to the beauty around me. After reaching what felt like the end, I'm now committed to creating a better vision of the world, by spreading goodness- love, support and knowledge.  Rohl Dahl beautifully wrote, “Somewhere inside all of us is the power to  change the world .” Welcome to this journey with me!

You have all that you need

One of the biggest learning curve in my journey was to realise that I have everything that I need. As soon as I acknowledged this fact, I stopped holding onto unnecessary material or longing for what I felt I needed. It was a huge release because I was not clinging onto a made-up world anymore. I accepted everything as it came. I felt content and so peaceful. I used to rely on external aspects of life to make my life meaningful- external support, approval, material possessions. Those things are entirely out of our control. They place you in a victim role. You expect life to unfold in a certain way, you believe that owning such and such thing will make you happy and hold onto those limiting beliefs. It's like holding onto a running water, slipping away- no control.  Once you realise that you have all that you need inside of you, it's a liberation. You don't need anything, anyone, anymore. You simply 'be'. You start living when you let go of everything that i...
