Making a difference

We all have this ingrained need to matter, to be significant, meaningful. We have a tendency to find for meaning in everything we do. Because we need that assurance that we're doing something right. One of the first questions we ask when we're growing up is 'why'? If there's no reason, then we won't be taking any action.

To make a difference, all we have to do is to grow ourselves, improve ourselves every day. It begins with our daily actions, daily attitude and mindset.

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.

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.

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...
