Embracing the Process in Lenten Days✨

Image
Lent is a time to slow down, reflect, and grow. Change does not happen overnight. Just like a seed takes time to become a tree, we also need time to become better. Lent is not just about giving up things like sweets, non veg, flowers or social media. It is about making space for kindness, patience, and faith. We can let go of anger and choose peace, or let go of doubt and choose trust. Silence is also important. In our busy lives, we rarely stop to think. Taking a few quiet moments each day can bring peace. Even Jesus spent time alone in the desert to prepare for His journey. Some days, we may forget to pray or struggle to keep our Lenten promises. That is okay. Lent is not about being perfect. It is about trying, learning, and trusting that we are growing. As we walk through this season, let us be patient with ourselves. Every small effort counts. Even when we do not see change, God is working in us. Lent is a journey—one step, one prayer, one day at a time. One of the mos...

SAY NO❌,CHOOSE YOU✅

Image
Saying no felt like an impossible task. Every time someone asked me for a favor, invited me somewhere, or handed me extra work, I felt this invisible pressure to agree. Not because I truly wanted to, but because I was afraid of what would happen if I didn’t. What if they think I’m rude? What if they stop liking me? What if I regret missing out? So, I kept saying yes, even when I was exhausted, overwhelmed, or simply uninterested. At first, it seemed like the right thing to do. Saying yes made people happy. It made me seem helpful, reliable, and easygoing. But over time, I realized something important—every yes I gave away carelessly was a no to myself. No to my rest, no to my peace, no to the things I actually wanted to do. And the worst part? The more I said yes to things I didn’t want, the more I started resenting them. I remember one specific moment when this hit me hard. A friend asked me for a favor—something small, something I could do without much effort. But that week, I was al...

KNOWING, BUT NOT DOING 🤦‍♂️

Knowledge vs Wisdom: Why Do We Keep Making the Wrong Choices? We all have knowledge. We go to school, read books, watch videos, and learn countless facts. We know what’s right and what’s wrong. But do we always follow what we know? Of course not! That’s where wisdom comes in , where it usually goes missing. Take food, for example. We know that greens are healthy and fried chicken is not. Greens have vitamins, fiber, and all the good stuff our body needs. Fried chicken, on the other hand, is loaded with unhealthy fats, calories, and the guilt that comes after eating it. But what do we actually eat? The crispy, oily, mouthwatering fried chicken. Because, let’s be honest, who craves a bowl of spinach when there’s a plate of perfectly seasoned, golden-brown chicken right in front of them? That’s knowledge versus wisdom in a nutshell: knowing what’s good for us but doing the opposite anyway. And food is just the beginning. We know staying up late scrolling through our phones wil...

WHY BEING A "GREEN" PERSON IS BOTH A BLESSING AND STRUGGLE ✅🍀💚

Image
When I first read Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson, the Green personality type felt like a mirror reflecting my soul. It wasn’t just the fact that green is my favorite color—it was the realization that my patience, my love for harmony, my silent stubbornness, and my expert-level avoidance of conflict were all neatly categorized into one personality type. Being Green is both a blessing and a struggle. On one hand, we’re the peacekeepers, the steady rocks in a chaotic world. On the other hand, we often find ourselves carrying emotional baggage that isn’t ours, resisting changes that everyone else embraces, and battling an internal paradox of being both easygoing and quietly unshakable. Let’s dive into what makes being a Green personality such an interesting experience. 1. We Are the Glue That Holds People Together We don’t seek attention, yet somehow, we end up as the unofficial therapists, problem solvers, and mediators in every situation. When friends fight, we’re the...

"MORE LEMONS IN SINK THAN SIP 🍋"

The other day, while sitting in class, my professor made a sarcastic comment that made everyone laugh—“You’ll find more original lemon in dishwashing liquid than in your juice.” It was funny at first, but the more I thought about it, the more it stuck with me. How did we end up in a world where cleaning products proudly claim to have real lemon, while the lemon juice we drink is often filled with artificial flavors? It’s strange, isn’t it? When you look at a dishwashing liquid bottle, you’ll often see big, bold words like “Real Lemon Power” or “With Natural Lemon Extract.” But if you pick up a bottle of packaged lemon juice, you’ll notice that it contains mostly water, artificial lemon flavor, citric acid, and preservatives. The irony is that the thing meant for washing dishes is marketed as being more natural than the thing meant for drinking! The reason behind this is simple—cost and convenience. Fresh lemon juice spoils quickly, so companies prefer to use artificial flavors to give ...
