5 Life lessons from the movie Dear Zindagi

Hello! Friends, Last Sunday, I watched a movie called "Dear Zindagi'. Though I am not fond of watching movies. But when my friend suggested this movie, I decided to give it a chance and really it was worth watching and worth sharing too...


Relationships and life


Here are some great lessons I learned from the movie "Dear Zindagi"  ---


1. Don’t choose the tough path just because you have to:
We’re conditioned to believe that to achieve our dreams, we must go through hardships. Unless we go through a difficult struggle, we won’t achieve the ultimate prize. But that’s not always the case. Choose a path that you feel comfortable with, even if it’s the easier one.


2. There’s no such thing as the ‘perfect partner’:

We look for a partner who is just ‘perfect’ and we know, that’s just too much pressure. We don’t have these perfect expectations from friends, so why pressurize yourself to find that perfection in a partner? We know we’re not perfect either!


3. Don’t judge yourself. And don’t let others judge you:

Don’t judge yourself or let anybody else judge you if you can’t stay in a relationship. It’s only you who knows if it isn’t working out. We’re all looking for someone special & it’s not always possible to find them in the first try.


4. Don’t stay in a relationship if you’re suffering:

Don’t suffer if you’re not comfortable in the relationship just because you’re afraid to hurt your partner. If you’re suffering, the relationship will doom anyway.


5. Parents are people too. Don’t judge them too harshly for their mistakes:

We expect our parents to act in a god-like perfect way. But if we manage to see beyond the relationship, they’re people too. They will sometimes make mistakes and once we realize that, it’s easier for us to understand and accept their actions.

If I had to ask you, when was the last time you really, truly expressed your feelings? When was it that you cried because you felt like it? Or laughed because you wanted to? If you can’t remember, you know what I’m talking about.

For some odd reason, we’re living in times when the true test of a person’s strength is to always keep it together. We can’t show what we’re feeling, we’re always being judged for behaving a certain way and no matter how close a person may be, we somehow can’t open ourselves to them.

I hope you liked the article... If yes! Please do share your opinions via comments.

What is the biggest mistake of our life

Hello Friends, Welcome at ....SomeGoodTricks ! So... do you really want to know what is your biggest mistake ?   Guess what it may be : (1) To be lazy ? (2) To eat unnecessarily ? Or (3) To lie ? Yet these are also our big mistakes but there is another mistake probably we all do, is.... " Not believing in yourself and not taking any risk " In my opinion, this is the biggest mistake of our life and because of this, we always suffer with an unwanted work we have to do. If we believe in ourselves, we can take a risk and follow our dreams. Actually, I experienced that I didn't follow my dreams and didn't trust on my talents and did the job I don't like. As result, I failed. But then I knew the value of my skills, my dreams, my talents and started to explore them. I am still learning but enough confident to get my dreams fulfilled. Friends ! If we do what we like, at least we enjoy our work. " Life is not for getting things, life is fo...

The Tables Turned

The Tables Turned ( By william wordsworth )  Up! Up! My Friend, and quit your books, Or surely you’ll grow double ; Up! Up! My Friend, and clear your looks ; Why all this toil and trouble ? The sun, above the mountain’s head, A freshening luster mellow                                               Through all the long green fields has spread, His first sweet evening yellow. Books! ‘tis a dull and endless strife: Come, hear the woodland linnet, How sweet his music! On my life, There’s more of wisdom in it. And hark! How blithe the throstle sings! He, too, is no mean preacher: Come forth into the light of things, Let Nature by your Teacher. She has a world of ready wealth, Our minds and hearts to bless Spontaneous wisdom breathed by heal...

Attachment in Detachment

When my daughter, the older of my two, wed and left home, I felt a part of me gone. With a daughter and a son, I know what both mean, differently. When she was in her teens I felt as if she was my "physical extension" ! So when she left home to set up her own, I felt I lost a limb. Next time she came to stay with us, I was astonished how her priorities had changed. We too must've given the same shocks to our own parents ! When she said Amma, she meant her mother-in-law, not me! I felt she was always in a hurry to go back to her house and not stay with me for a few more days.  That was the first time, it dawned on me that I have to start practising detachment with attachment. Two years after my daughter’s marriage, my son left for higher studies to US. Having experienced a child's separation once, I was better equipped emotionally. I plunged head long into various classes held in the city starting from vedanta to healing to ikebana -  I just wa...
