Caring is true love instead of expecting gift, on special occasions

Anniversary of Birthdays or weddings or anything else always leaves us with an expectation for all of us.



On my 12th wedding anniversary today, I also had some expectations towards the wedding anniversary as a normal human being, that I could get any gift from my husband or any flowers at least as a small gift.

But when I was down with a fever for the entire day, the way my husband took care of me and the cooking for the full day along with his hectic work schedule, left an impact on me realizing that exchanging gifts is not the exact way of showing true love. Exchanging the care whenever needed is true love.

Expectation always hurts. Reduce the expectations and shower the love as much as possible.
Let's accept the better half as they are!

Lets us understand the reality of life. A gift is not the only way of exchanging love on some special occasion. Caring for one another is also true between couples.

#12: Renew yourself

Image
I used to think many a time why elders in the family are resistant to renewing themselves or refreshing them with what they want or wish to have. Elders in the family like Parents or Grandparents always think of their children or grandchildren many times. They are not even ready to spend a few bucks to renew themselves. Be it buying a dress they like with a little extra cost, a haircut, or some extra stuff they want to do for their soul satisfaction. Do we need to sacrifice everything including the renewal of oneself or refreshing the mind for the sake of Children or Grandchildren? It is not really required and let us live our lives on at least a few occasions. However, we want to live without thinking of others or any family members, obviously without destroying morals. I had a chance to take my mother out to a hotel alone when she visited Bengaluru this Summer. But she really had a concern for her Grandchildren who visited my home along with her. I have never seen my mom fulfil...

Experiences of learning adoption and Implementation in real

Image
Every situation provides us an opportunity to learn and grow day in, and day out. Somehow I gained the trust to get nominated by the director for a wonderful training program, especially for women's leadership within 10 months of timeframe in the new organization. Fortunately, I have had a chance to attend the WINGS (Women In Gaming) Women Leadership Training program by my company  Light & Wonder . The Trainer who might be 60+ years old shared amazing experiences of her own life while teaching us strategic networking, work-life balance, personal branding, etc. A two-day full-day ground working training program taught me a lot of things. Actual learning starts not at the training to be frank. It is how we implement the lessons learned in day-to-day life and get more benefits.

Being bold and courageous to succeed in our inner mind

Image
Fortunately, I have got a chance to raise my voice to ask some questions to a writer Erode Kathir whom I have met virtually in a Toastmasters club meeting. The Toastmasters meeting emphasized the importance of book reading and did a book review of that specific author as well. Before shooting my questions to the writer, my inner voice questioned me that am I eligible to ask questions about the writing journey as I hadn't given a try to write a single line to publish in any blogs. Still, my inner mind threatened me to not ask any silly questions. I was somehow convinced and asked the questions that came out of my heart as I could feel the writer was so interesting and inspiring.  So I gathered all my courage and started asking questions without even bothering others and my inner mind. The opportunity got extended in the networking session as well once the Toastmasters meeting was over. The writer was shooted up with a couple more questions by me. I could say that the questions which...
