The best answer to anger is silence

Marcus Aurelius
Tap Elderly Women's Wisdom for Youth (TEWWY)

Oftentimes, when we’re angry, we end up saying things we regret. Some may view silence as passive aggressiveness, which it can be, but it can also be a wise decision.

Every struggle in your life has shaped you into the person you are today. Be thankful for the hard times; they can only make you stronger.

Life is a series of unexpected adventures, where we don’t know where it is going to take you with the next turn of the road. This uncertainty makes the journey enjoyable. However, in most cases, we face difficulty to overcome a situation. We sometimes think of giving up. We don’t feel like running behind something we wanted anymore. We feel like the struggle we are doing is worth nothing, and we are not worthy of getting what we want at all.

Put your worries in a bubble and blow them away

Whenever you find yourself worrying about something, note to yourself that you’re “just worrying.” By doing this you become present as the witness of your thoughts instead of being completely taken over by them. You now have the power to choose to let go it go.

Don’t waste your time trying to get people to love you. Spend your time with those who already do!

Life is short and full of adventure. Life offers shocks in each turn it has to offer. You will always have to expect the unexpected. So never waste your time trying to get people to love you. You will come across a lot of people, and you will never be able to please all the people you interact with. Everyone will never be your loving friend. They all have different mindsets that, in most cases, will not match with your point of view.

Therefore, you should not expect everyone to love you. Besides, there are also some people who will always be ready to find your faults. Anything and everything you do, these people will always have some excuses ready. Those kinds of people are not going to love you anyway. However, in life, you will also get some good people who will be with you, who will understand you, who will not let you feel down for once in your life. These kinds of people will always be with you even in your hardest times.

You learn nothing in life if you think you are right all the time!

Tap Elderly Women's Wisdom for Youth (TEWWY)

There is a saying that we have two ears and one mouth for a reason. We should speak less and listen more. Only by listening, can we learn something new, in addition to what we already know. 

If you think you are always correct and just speak out your views to everyone and every time, you will repeat only what you know. Whereas, if you listen to others, you may expand your horizons. 

Life is the greatest teacher, and we should enthusiastically learn from it. In order to be successful, it is not possible to experience everything alone. We should try to listen to others and learn from the mistakes they made along the way.

Let’s keep in mind that there cannot be any true understanding of the present without the knowledge of the past. Our history defines us. Try to always listen to your elders and keep their valuable advice in mind. 

This will not only save us from pitfalls but also give some much needed boost to achieve our dreams and also achieve them in the shortest time possible. Time plays an important factor in determining how successful any individual is actually in his or her lifetime. 

Success comes only when efforts and intelligence combine along with strategic experience to yield a masterstroke. Life is to be lived, and we should try to make the best possible use of our time, as our stay on this planet is short-lived, and we should continuously make efforts to build our empire. 

One should always view the process of learning as as enjoyable and fascinating experience. Learning from life, or in other words, learning from your own life, can actually give you significant lessons for your lifetime and may prove to be the most beneficial. 

Life doesn’t work the way it seems. It should be noted that struggle is an important factor in order to be successful, and one must be humble to acknowledge their mistakes and enjoy the process of learning and evolution.

Work Hard, Dream Big, Never Give Up.

Divya Srivastav
Tap Elderly Women's Wisdom for Youth (TEWWY)

One should never give up, no matter what happens. Life is meant to face challenges, without that we would be nothing. Ups and downs are part of life, try not to let those moments overwhelm you.  If something bad is happening, just keep this in your mind that everything happens for a reason.

Life has extraordinary ways of surprising us, we don’t know what is waiting for us. If we are feeling like the universe is against us and there is nothing left in living now, just do one thing, calm down, give your thoughts a little relax.

When you feel like quitting, think about why you started. The bad phase in life will get over, and the good will happen. We should just wait for the next phase of life, nothing is permanent, just do your work and wait for the results. If you have given your hundred percent, then you will get the best out of it.

Never give up!

Nobody an take away your pain but God. SO don’t let anyone take away your happiness.

Joy and love are the most two essential things in life. We do everything for our pleasure. If we are not happy in our life, there is no point in living a life. So, always try to stay happy, no matter what happens.

However, some toxic people will try to take away your happiness. They will work hard to poison your life with a dose of sadness. You have to make sure that you are not letting those people take control of your life. Or else, it will be hard for you to live your life according to your preference. You have to understand that God is the only one who is responsible for taking away your pain. He is the only one who will take care of your sadness and sorrow.

Therefore, you have to understand that no one has the power to make you sad. Similarly, no one has the power to take away your happiness. Thus, the best thing that you can do is to stay away from toxic people. They are the reason for your melancholia.

Nobody is perfect. We make mistakes. We say the wrong things. We do wrong things. We fall. We learn. We grow. We move on. We live!

Nobody is perfect, we often say wrong things, do wrong things and thus, make a lot of mistakes all throughout our lives. However, that’s what makes us human beings. It’s important to understand that all of us make mistakes but that does not depict that we are a failure. Many times things don’t happen the way we want. We fail, but then again, we get up. We learn from each other all the time and this makes us keep growing. We move on and thus we live.

It’s important to understand that we are human and that to err is human, all that we do, is part of our lives. It doesn’t matter how many times we’ve done wrong, all that counts is how many times did we make it happen and stood up all over again to rectify the wrong doings. 

All that matters in life is not the number of times we failed, but the number of times that we got up.

If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito

Dalai – Lama
Tap Elderly Women's Wisdom for Youth (TEWWY)

Never think that you are too small to make a difference. Never place yourself in such a low position. Never think of yourself as being insignificant. No one in this world is insignificant. All of us are worthy of doing something useful in this world. Those who can do that are the ones who have dedicatedly done their work without looking at anything else. Those who are trying will certainly do something. But if you do nothing and keep yourself in a low key position, and with a low self esteem, you cannot do anything at all.

All the people we have around us are the people trying to make a difference in their lives. At least everybody is trying to do something worth for the nation. If they can do it, what’s stopping you? If you think you are not worthy enough, try sleeping with a mosquito. Because you see mosquitoes are such tiny creatures, but even a single one is enough to ruin your good night’s sleep. So never think low of yourself. Even the smallest creatures of the world can do wonders. Scientists say that and ts can carry 20x of their body weight, termites make huge colonies underground, and there are many more examples. 

Always keep your head high and keep trying, success will surely come your way. Good luck.

Believe In Yourself And You Will be Unstoppable!

Tap Elderly Women's Wisdom for Youth (TEWWY)

The limiting item in your ability to be unstoppable is yourself. All you need to do is believe in yourself. When you believe in yourself, you will believe that you can get the result you want. If that’s a possibility, then it’s not so silly to do the simple things that you know will get you there. With consistency you pick up momentum and then boom! You’re unstoppable!

You see where it all starts? It starts within you. You need to believe that you can do it. You also need to be sure it’s what you truly want. You cannot second guess your ability or reasons, you just need to go for it. 

So what steps are you taking today to become unstoppable?
