The Subtle Art of Saying No

“Hey, do you wanna go to the movies tonight?”

Your brother asks and it’s been a while you haven’t watched a movie in theaters. But there isn’t any good movie and you have more important stuff to do. Should you tag along? Or do the harder thing by saying no?

Sometimes saying no can become hard since you have been procrastinating these outdoor plans a lot lately, and you get afraid of losing people around you. Sometimes it’s important to sacrifice, but other times you got to learn to say no to unimportant stuff in your life.

When it comes to being busy, everyone is busy, because it depends on the priority of your life. Set those priorities! When you will be clear on what you like to do, what makes you happy, and where you wanna go next, you will be able to say no more adamantly.

But how to say no without hurting feelings? Well, you can lie at times, but there’s a huge risk of getting trapped in your own web of lies. So instead of lying, tell them the real reason, the vision (or at least a part of it), that keeps you awake. Most importantly, tell them the importance of your vision; and they should understand. Keeping your life minimal is crucial nowadays. With loads of distractions, ‘Live Before You Die’ philosophies; Will you be living if you keep saying no to everything? Well, maybe not. Saying no to everything would be bad, but you got to understand what you want from your life, from yourself, and what makes you happy, and you will be fine saying no.

First blog review of my first novel:

Let me know what YOU think of GABLET!

Thanks to Sai for his precious time!

Am I a human?

Am I a human?
I fight for land
I fight for water
I fight for everything
I kill other humans
I kill other animals
I am slowly killing this Earth

Should I be called a human?
I torture voiceless creatures
I eat them to fulfill my taste receptors
I cage them and experiment on them
For what?
For my luxuries?

Do I deserve to be called a human?
I should be love
I should be empathy
Instead,
What am I?

I am lost!
Lost within these walls of nothingness
Taking with us the entire world
Destroying it

I want to ask each one of you
How recklessly do you waste water, paper, gas, electricity?
Are you aware of the consequences?
How innocently you eat animals?
Who were given a caged life,
A life without a reason,
To be butchered one day,
To be served on your plates!

Do you think about the Mother Earth?
Earth that gave you a wondrous world to live in?
I am afraid not!!

How to love a stranger!

There are 3 phases of life you go through when you meet a stranger. First, (let the stranger be male) he is interesting, since you are looking the world with a new pair of eyes. You are exploring the world a little more through someone else's other than your own self.
 

Second, you start to find little faults in him, that you didn’t see before. You think that he has changed. You start to get annoyed by his petty actions. You get bored of him. You compare him with every other stranger, and you realize that he is not the right guy for you.

Third phase is reached by fewer people, including only those who fight and stand with their loved ones. Here, you start to understand his heart instead of his actions. You understand why he is doing that. You fall in love with him again, with a small difference of maturity within you.

These were written as short as it could be. The crux is that don’t give up on him or her. If your heart says s/he is made for you, stand beside him/her, trust me, you will see more than you ever did.

Epiphany of NOT Being LOST

Have you ever thought that you are lost? What you planned was failed! You couldn’t follow the path that you chose. Do you call that being lost?
 

What if I tell you that you were always meant to follow the path that you are in? Universe led you to the path that you are walking right now, and Universe wanted you to embrace the beauty of the path that It showed you. You will never know if the path you are following will lead to your destination or not, but you will always have your fate standing beside you, waiting for you to accept it the way it is. Everything happens for a reason! That reason might be good or bad, but there will always be a reason, you just have to look closer and with a lively heart.

I will tell you one of my stories, I was in a strange city, riding my bike, in a weather in which most couples would love to make out! My destination was away and by mistake, I chose the longer path than the right one, that I should have taken. I was afraid and lost, since it was starting to rain. While following the wrong path, I found a better way, a way away from the crowd and traffic, and honking of the fast-pacing lives. That was one of my best rides, amidst the pleasures of nature wrapping me away from the whole world.

Whenever you feel lost, enjoy the moment, live the wrong path, and you will realize that that was the path meant for you to walk on, you were never lost, you were just taken the better detour of your life.

HeartBreak

Heartbreak is inevitable. You know why, because love is inevitable. You live to love, you live to make your soul shine in the light of other’s care and warmth. If you are one of those, who won’t agree, stop lying to yourself, because everyone needs someone, and that’s the fact. And what does love lead to? Heartbreak!
 

You can’t stop yourself getting attached to anyone, you can’t restrict your aura of love, you will always love someone at every moment of your life, and since we all humans will agree, life’s a bitch! It won’t go on as we would like it to, it will do its best to break us or make us.

So, don’t be afraid of heartbreaks, don’t be afraid of your heart falling for someone else. Heart is like a giving tree, it is meant to spread love around you, so let it spread!

Heartbreak has a tendency to acquaint every living being on this universe, you know why, to make you understand the meaning of love, to make you stronger, to prepare you for your relationship with your own self.

Keep loving yourself!
