10 Tough Truths You Must Accept To Move Forward In Life

Browsing your social media fed and someone looking so happy with someone/something popped up ! Feeling so sad for yourself ??? It can put you down, especially when you have to work hard to reach your goals. Well, you are not the only one who feels this way. Everyone does !
          Time to speak about some brutally honest truths about life that we need to face in order to move forward.

 1. It doesn't matter what others think.

 As the saying goes: "Other's opinion of you doesn't define you." Don't worry too much about what others think of you, as it will only hamper your progress in life. Embrace who you are and be your only role model. Set your own vision and don't let anyone prevent you from reaching them.

 2. Perfection doesn't exist, so stop pursuing it.

 We all have a different definition of perfection. The fact is, there is nothing like perfection. Strive for your own interpretation of it and go after what's right for you.

 3. Don't look for happiness.

 It lies within. We are so caught up in the search for The Big Happiness in life that we miss out on the smaller ones that bring us joy: a smile, a kind gesture, a laugh. Enjoy these smaller ones everyday and eventually find the happiness you were looking for.

 4. Worrying is useless.

 "Worrying doesn't accomplish anything.Even if you worry twenty times more, it will not change the situation of the world. In fact, your anxiety will only make things worse. Even though things are not as we would like, we can still be consent, knowing that we are trying our best and we will continue to do so."
                              - Thich Nhat Hanh

 5. Failing is necessary to grow.

 If you fear failure, you will never each your goals. Failure teaches you valuable lessons - consider it as a stepping stone to success.
"Rock bottoms will teach you the lessons that mountain tops never will."

6. Money won't bring you happiness.

Seriously, that new pair of sneakers or that new quad-cam phone will only bring you short term joy. It's the thing that you can't buy that brings you true happiness. So set your focus straight. Invest in your relationships rather  than in the materialistic things.

7. Time is Money.

Realize that time is more valuable than money. You only have one life, so you better make the most out of it and spend it the way it makes you happy. Don't ever let money stand in your way of living your dream life.

8. You are your best investment.

Remember it, again, you only have one shot in life - so be the best version of yourself. Invest in yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually. Don't know where to start ? Well, start by the things right in front of you, the tasks you can accomplish. It will prove to be a great head start.

9. You can't make everyone your friend.

Accept it: you will meet far too many people in your life to make them all like you. We all have different characters, so it is impossible for all of them to match. You're better off with a small circle of true friends than a large amount of Facebook friends you barely know. Quality over quantity !

10. Live now.

Today is the only time that matters. Start living in the present and you don't miss out on anything by worrying about yesterday or tommorow.

BLOG #1 - THE BIG BANG - COSMIC BEGINNINGS

Accepted astrophysical theories posit that at one point there was nothing: no stars, planets or galaxies - not even the space itself. The matter that makes up everything that now exists was concentrated in a single, extremely dense point known as a singularity. The force of gravity in a singularity is so great that the fabric of space time curves in on itself. In an instant known as the big bang, however, the contents of the primordial singularity escaped - and formed the universe.                The big bang is a catchy shorthand for a complex astrophysical theory, backed up with sophisticated calculations. The term was coined in the 1950s by British astronomer Fred Boyle, a proponent of a theory of the universe as a steady state. In fact, Boyle used the term derisively. Though the name stuck, it gives a false impression, making it seem as though the event that unleashed all the energy of the universe almost 14 billion years ago was an e...

Questions that question YOU from YOU - PART 1

Sometimes we get too caught up in our every day lives that we tend to forget one of our most basic instincts as humans — to question. And our lives have indeed become so easy and so simple, that we never get curious anymore. Thanks to the tech, obviously. After all, we are i the 21st century. So, in this piece for you, I've got some questions to make you spark the plugs into your grey matter.(not the GRAY matter,  its the grey matter) Now what's the grey matter first ? Grey  matter  contains most of the brain's neuronal cell bodies. The grey  matter  includes regions of the brain involved in muscle control, and sensory perception such as seeing and hearing, memory, emotions, speech, decision making, and self-control. Enough for the intro, I guess. So, here are the questions. Q. Why do we all FEAR death ? Q. What is REALITY ? Q. Is our SOCIETY teaching us the WRONG things ? Q. Is TIME only a concept made by humans ? Is it something we RESTRICT ourselves with ? Q....

So as winter comes to t he southern hemisphere, these dancing curtains of lights come out to play. Just like their colorful comrades in the north, the Aurora Australis too is an aftermath of the collision of gaseous particles in the earth's atmosphere with electrically charge d particles from the sun. The energy released from this collision takes place the form of the dramatic auroras. Red and Pink color Aurora Australis Green Colored Aurora Australis Why are they so exciting ?
