Getting motivated
Life seems a perpetually complex entity. To achieve our aspirations and dreams, we need motivation. But this motivation itself seems to be a strong reason for casting a spanner in this wheel. Such is its complex nature. Here, however, we strive to get a clarity.
The journey in motivation
Achievement expectations are high on everybody, both self propelled and externally imposed. However behind the obvious effort, there lies the crucial role of Motivation. This is a dynamic phenomenon and handling individual motivation is quite a complex affair.
Staying high on motivation
Motivation needs a steady action plan for its fulfilment, is the general thought. However the real plan is what is designed by your innermost being, the primal urge. Let us take a look at both the sides
My tryst with motivation
As in life, so with Motivation: we all have our own struggles. However it is we ourselves who have the answers to come out of them, find the answers to our problem of demotivation.
Motivation: an inward odyssey
As humans, particularly young people, we are intrigued by external stimuli for our motivation. Take a moment to look inward, and you will see a world vastly different casting a much stronger pull.
A study in motivation
We are all aware of our tasks at hand; however in most cases detractors, always present in copious numbers pull us away. This is a natural human behaviour. A reverse effect becomes necessary to keep us steadfast at our task. To those it comes naturally are the blessed lot. Others may need to strategise.
A journey in motivation
Curiosity is the spark that lights the fire of motivation. It drives us to ask questions, embrace the unknown, and venture outside our comfort zones. When curiosity is alive and thriving, it opens doors to new passions, enhances problem-solving skills, and keeps us...
The Intrigue about Vulnerability
In a world that often glorifies perfection and strength, vulnerability is still misunderstood as a weakness. Societal conditioning encourages individuals to be flawless, leading to self-comparison, inner criticism, and fear of failure. This critical mindset often has...
Be your true self
The right way to conduct ourselves has often baffled us. While strength and fearlessness have been considered to be timeless attributes, should one relinquish compassion in the process for its perceived weakness? Let us try to identify the parameters.
The Value of Vulnerability
Vulnerability, derived from the Latin word vulnus, meaning "wound," is often seen as a sign of weakness. However, when viewed through a different lens, it reveals itself as a profound strength. Vulnerability is not just about experiencing raw emotion—it is about being...
Uunveiling my strife
Our shortcomings exist in our mind alone, though we think the world is aware of it. It is our own terrifying anxiety which, the sooner got rid of, the better.
Vulnerability:an enigma
“We look before and after, And pine for what is not”, wrote PB Shelley in ‘To a Skylark’. Indeed we know not how our own vulnerabilities can be the cornerstone of our strength and success. That is, till we explore and embrace them.
Our journey through vulnerability
What is largely perceived in pejorative terms, ironically turns out to be the strength, saviour and prime guiding force. Such are the odds with which life moves on. We unravel the vicissitudes that this enigma entails.
Vulnerability could be your Strength
Have you ever thought of vulnerability not as a weakness but as your hidden superpower? Many of us instinctively shield our vulnerabilities, seeing them as imperfections to be tucked away. Society often glorifies the stoic, unshaken persona that appears invincible....
Perspectives on boredom
Productivity is often equated with activity. That, well, is an unproductive thought.Rip open the layers of our unproductive self spent in boredom, to find out why.
Take a break to break free
There is a guilt around idleness, perhaps because it is associated with lack or productivity. It is time we explored our myopic view of things and unravel the wonders that a break arising fror boredom can bring forth
