Take Charge Of Your Destiny

Take Charge Of Your Destiny

I believe in one belief, life starts by loving yourself first, loving what you do. With such a strong feeling, I gather my energies and get up every day, thanking God and the nature around me for the beautiful life.

We asked our readers, contributors, and authors about their love for books and their responses are wonderful! Every year, in the month of February, we always celebrate the month of romantic love.

This year is a bit different! We decided that everybody loves several things in their lifetimes.

Someone might love cooking, someone would be drooling over fashion and style, someone else on the other side just can't resist traveling. And moreover, many of them out there are single too! So, this year, we decided that we will not be restricted to romantic love only.

Being a spiritual being, I totally believe in the concept of Karma. With more and more days as they pass by, I feel that I am becoming closer to myself, being self-aware! This idea of self-love and spirituality has helped me to evolve as a person. This has been made possible with the help of one - who is an Indian Yogi, mystic, and an author! Being a regular follower of him, he has helped me gain that peacefulness, calm, and a feeling of serendipity.

Yes, you must have got it by now. I am talking about Sadhguru. To have a discussion with Sadhguru, Founder, Isha Foundation on a call, I was not believing myself that we would be having a one-to-one discussion with the mystic himself. A mixed feeling of nervousness and excitement took me over!

Through Reflection's Nurturing Lens

Anil buzzed the doorbell repeatedly, while his feet tapped the ground to the rhythm of a jolly song he kept crooning. Resembling a tiny bird that made abrupt, sharp movements with antsy eyes, he rehearsed how he'd break the news of his promotion to his wife, Sujata-a raise that was well-earned, an outcome of several fair-unfair competitions.
