Passing judgement on other people is – sad to say – easy. When it’s the other way around, the story becomes totally different, doesn’t it?
Let’s be realistic. There is no lack of judgemental people on this planet, and sometimes, we add to that number. That is why I’m publishing another post about judgement quotes even though I’ve already shared a bunch of related quotes in the past.
When you find yourself sizing up someone, or when you find yourself being sized up, I hope you remember these quotes. [Read more…] about Judgement Quotes That Will Keep You Grounded

Think positively. That’s what we’re always told, and that’s what we usually say when we encourage others (and ourselves).
But the route to thinking positively is not a straight path. There are times when we have to destroy blocks like negative thoughts in order to start thinking positive ones. [Read more…] about Stop Negative Thinking: Don’t Believe These Thoughts

Can you name one person who has never been through any trouble in their life? If you can, then you probably don’t know that person that well, and you are not aware of the struggles they have faced. Everyone has problems, and dealing with them is one of the rules of living. No matter how blissful the current circumstances are, life will inevitably go down before it rises again.
These cycles create a complex problem for some of us: we are too afraid to appreciate the happiness in our lives because we are guided by the notion that “all good things come to an end.” We’re afraid to be happy because we know we’ll face sorrow again in future, and we’re certainly not happy when we have reasons for being sad.
Do we leave any space for happiness? Are we going through our lives in constant fear that something would make us feel miserable? Are we afraid to love because we expect to be hurt? Are we living at all? [Read more…] about Easy-to-Follow Steps to Start Living Your Life

Social media addiction is real, whether you want to admit it or not. As early as 2012, psychologists acknowledged the existence of addiction to texts, Twitter, and Google. That doesn’t even take into account Facebook, which has hooked one person too many.
In a previous post, How to Break Free From Social Media Addiction, I shared an infographic providing statistics regarding the number of active users on the major platforms. More disturbing is the fact that not a small percentage of users cannot go for a few hours without checking Facebook.
Yup.
Social media addiction is real all right. [Read more…] about Quotes on Social Media Addiction That Will Make You Think

Let’s face it – almost everyone has fears they wish they could conquer. Even the most successful people harbor some form of concern or anxiety even if they won’t admit it to themselves or to others. But facing your own fears could be one of the best and bravest things you can do for yourself. How else to find ways to overcome them if you won’t even admit they exist.
Grownups in particular are loathe to acknowledge their fears for fear of (no pun intended) being seen as weak. Here are three things people fear that are universal to all adults. Don’t be scared to see yourself having them, too. Now you know you’re not alone and hopefully, you can do something about them.
Whether we like it or not, women are more afraid of getting old than men. If you’re female and looking at yourself in the mirror, you may wonder how you’ll look 10 or 20 years later. Will you be wrinkled and have graying hair? The natural course of time guarantees it but living a healthy lifestyle – eating well, being physically active and having a positive outlook – will keep you in great shape even at an old age. Add to that the wisdom gained from experiences and growing older doesn’t seem like such a bad thing anymore.
For some, plastic surgery is an option to stopping the years from showing. It’s a personal choice but looking too young for one’s age may also appear unnatural.
Feeling lonely is different from being alone. It is also one of the common things people fear. Some people are alone by choice but most would rather have a partner to share their lives with. Man by nature is a social being; hence the need for company. But being lonely by force is not anymore an excuse not to meet people online. The internet has made a lot of things possible that were not heard of before.
These days, a lot of singles are online day and night. They are people like you also looking for someone to meet and talk to. It’s so simple. Look for the top dating site where lots of singles converge and find someone there.
When people reach a certain age, say 30, they may prefer constancy rather than venture into the unknown. Stability is a comfortable position to be in. It can also be very boring. But life can play tricks on us and things may happen that put you in a situation where you have to make a choice between dull predictability and excitement. Don’t be afraid to go for unexplored territory. Don’t spend the rest of your life telling yourself “what if…” Who knows what awaits you there. Take that leap of faith.
Here’s hoping you’ve been shaken out of your dreary comfort zone and are willing to try something new. Life is too short not to take a chance.
