Beneath Life of Warrior

By Sumaiyya Syed Ever noticed that throughout the day you either act out of fear or act out of love? For instance, let's assume you want to complete your office work on time or have a bite of your favourite snack at break time! Aren't these activities either out of fear or love?  Well, you act out of fear when your focus is on getting something, whether it be other people's approval or attention, money or power. On the other hand, when you act out of love, your focus is on giving, be it your time, attention, love, or money etc., Your intention is solely to share and improve the lives of the people you love, not for your own interest, just as an act, out of love. To master your emotions, you must be able to identify your behaviours, whether you are acting out of fear or love. For instance, look at one of the major goals in your life, whether it is a fear-based goal or a love-based one? Is your intention to serve the world or take from it?

It might be your friend, an acquaintance or maybe a colleague. Now ask yourself how often you think about him in your daily routine. Now put yourself into his/her shoes. How much do you imagine how he or she thinks about you d...

By Sumaiyya Syed How often do we think 'Log kya sonchenge'? Do we get this question in our mind every single time when we take a decision? Even when you have to wear a dress for the party? I'm sure you may have! I have also been a victim of such thoughts. In this blog, I will be highlighting a couple of reasons why we tend to think more often and how do we alleviate the situation. Before I state, I would like you to give a thought for fraction of a second, when do you last remember any pain? Like a toothache or surgery? Or a heartbreak or death of your loved one? Were you worried about anything that was happening in Russia? Did you care for the person who was elected as a president in your state? NO! Because YOU are the most important person to yourself. You just wanted that pain to go away. You stay with yourself 24/7, and it's absolutely normal to feel that way. So you have to understand this goes the same with other humans on the planet, you might not be the most imp...
