Taking break is a part of the journey....not the end of it. Rest is to recharge, not to retreat.
We all feel tired or overwhelmed sometimes nd it’s completely okay to take a break... to pause, breathe, nd regain the strength.
But what’s important is that you don’t confuse a break with giving up. Resting doesn’t mean you stop chasing your goals. It simply means you’re preparing yourself to come back stronger, with more clarity and energy.

तर्क किए बिना किसी भी बात को आंख मूंदकर मान लेना भी एक प्रकार की गुलामी है।

If you don't know who you truly are, you'll never know what you really want.
यदि आप नहीं जानते कि आप वास्तव में कौन हैं, तो आप कभी नहीं जान पाएंगे कि आप वास्तव में क्या चाहते हैं।

Initially when you start something it will be difficult , do not expect that you will be fine doing it initially No. You will feel pain , you will feel like giving up , you will over think too. But as you control your nerves you will then get used to it. You don't feel it difficult anymore because you will then start loving it. And when you love doing something you will do it no matter what. So dear comrades, have patience work like you love doing that not merely out of pressure.Then you will definitely excel into what you are doing.Love it.Own it.✨✨✨💫💫

Life isn’t just about reaching goals, but growing through every lesson...
Life is not just about reaching a destination...it's about becoming something along the way. Each day, each moment, brings a hidden lesson.
Sometimes life teaches us patience...when things don’t work our the way we want. Sometimes it teaches us gratitude.... for what we already have but we often ignore... it put us in such situations that makes us realise the value of things we have. There are moments that break us....failures, rejections or even losing someone but there will also be moments that lift us... success, love, peace.
But the truth is...whether we win or lose, if we keep learning, we keep growing and even a slow growth is the most beautiful proof that we’re truly alive.
So, don’t fear the tough times...they’re just lessons in disguise.🌷✨

Negativity is an incomplete feeling
It is a sensation that was cut off
Blocked, suppressed
And is now stored in the body
As illness, as irrationality
To truly heal is to remember
It was only your mind keeping these orphans settled in
your cells
It was only the idea that you couldn’t feel
That you were broken, that you were helpless
That made you that way
It is a sensation that was cut off
Blocked, suppressed
And is now stored in the body
As illness, as irrationality
To truly heal is to remember
It was only your mind keeping these orphans settled in
your cells
It was only the idea that you couldn’t feel
That you were broken, that you were helpless
That made you that way
