“And does not true freedom mean choosing ways in this world that to the good of all and are guided by love?” – Pope Francis Reading one of the morning affirmations today, the above stated quote of Pope Francis got my attention and made me wonder that what actually freedom is; whether it is Love, Existence, Self-Reliance, or a State of Mind. Freedom is acceptance, the ability to embrace mistakes, choices that turn out good, bad or ugly and not denying fears. Instead of trying very harsh on making your life perfect, give yourself the freedom to make it an adventure! Freedom as a word never meant breaking chains; rather it is the power to choose your own chains. There is no greater freedom than the freedom to be you.

In the end of a life time don’t regret the choices you didn’t made and the dreams you didn’t fought for. I was never sure what my purp...

Stephen Hawking quoted “One of the Basic Rules of the Universe is that nothing is perfect. Perfection simply doesn’t exist…Without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist”. This thought got me in the dilemma, rather made me realise that why we don’t have a growing appreciation for basic experiences of life. All of us I seem have confused ourselves between progress and perfection. It is important for people to transfer the attention and energy into striving for progress and grow instead of perfection. Because I really haven’t met a single human who even has got a “perfect” definition of “perfection”; I strongly stand in favour that there is less probability of perfection even existing. I stand in the defence of being average about everything, why do even we get into the question of making everything so extra ordinary? Why is not being normal or content about things or individuality not appreciated? The beauty of an average human being is that of doing everything...
