My inspiration— October Blogging Challenge Day 11



We all find inspiration in different things at different times. For some, it is nature, for some it is people. Sometimes it's art, sometimes it's solitude. For me too, there are days when I am inspired by my friends, or co-workers. Also, there are days when just being with me gives me inspiration to do something. But, what moves me most are words. Even since I was a little kid, I loved to read. I asked for books for my birthday, and I love going to different worlds. As I grew up, writing got added along with it, and more words. Even when I don't have much time to read a book, I still get my dose of inspiration from simple quotes, poems, or excerpts from books. So, for the blogging challenge today, I am sharing some quotes that inspire me.

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

This quote by Robert Frost is my favorite quote, always. I find it really powerful, especially during low points of life. No matter what the situation is today, life will still go on and there will be a new tomorrow. It always gives me hope, and the strength to hang on.

Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.

I heard this quote in the movie Remember Me, which is one of my favorite movies. I think this quote is so true. In this huge world, we are all probably just insignificant. Whatever we do stays with us, but still we must do it. Because even if at end of life we are insignificant to the world, we still have meant something to some people and living the life we have touched other people's lives. So yes, it is important that we do whatever we do and be the best we can be.

“Is 'fat' really the worst thing a human being can be? Is 'fat' worse than 'vindictive', 'jealous', 'shallow', 'vain', 'boring' or 'cruel'? Not to me.

I am very thankful for quote from J. K. Rowling. In this skinny-obsessed and body shaming world, we need this. When someone like J. K. Rowling says this, it affects people. Especially the young adults who have grown up reading Harry Potter books and who love her for adding magic to their lives. When the world is treating being fat as the worst you can be, and bullying and shaming you for what your body is and totally neglecting your personality, things like this make a huge impact. This quote tells me I am much more than my weight, so much more. I am person, not a mannequin. I would rather be a better person than fit into some image.

Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.

We all have those moments of self-doubt, when it feels like we can do nothing right. but it's the faith in ourselves that keeps us going in the end.

Always act like you’re wearing an invisible crown.

Yes, you should. Just imagining that crown gives an instant confidence boost, and the day just gets so much better.



What inspires you the most?

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked.  Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l

What if ... ?

What if — an agonizing feeling that no one is spared from.  We all find ourselves in situations where we look back and think about things we  have done, things we should have done, things we should not have done, or things we should have done differently. They are not necessarily regrets, but more of questioning and second-guessing the choices we have made. I for one get this feeling a lot, and I find myself thinking about how life could have been if my choices would have been different.  What if I studied harder in school:   I would have gotten into a better college with more opportunities, which means better job and satisfaction. But, who can guarantee that would have happened- so I'd rather be happy about the other things I did and not just study all the time. What if I stayed at my old job:  I would have gotten to be roommates with my best friend for a much longer time, and would have definitely enjoyed more and I wouldn’t be stressed because of studying, assi
