I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. Everyone is in
the holiday mood and ready to enjoy the new year eve. While we welcome
the new year with new zeal and enthusiasm, it is also time to reflect on the
the new year with new zeal and enthusiasm, it is also time to reflect on the
achievements and challenges we faced this year.
The year 2017 has been a roller-coaster ride for me.
I took a very tough decision this year when I decided to quit a job that was
not fulfilling and was deeply unsatisfactory. After pushing myself to
survive on a job which I did not like for 4 years, I finally made a decision
to quit and find something that makes me happy. I started writing in 2016
but I was not as disciplined and focused as I was not in a happy frame of mind
due to the stress at work. After I quit my job this year, I had ample of free time
and that is when I decided to focus on my passion for writing. When I
realized the impact of a positive article on influencing someone’s life
positively, I became determined to make this my goal. After a lot of
introspection, I realized that my life purpose is to bring a positive
change in someone’s life by inspiring them to do more and be more.

I may not be making as much money as I would as a lawyer, but at least I am living a fulfilled life.
Apart from writing, I gained knowledge about the practice of yoga at the
Yoga Institute in Mumbai. This experience opened my mind to thinking more
positively and becoming aware of my inner conflicts. We get so busy in meeting
our daily ends that we forget to look within ourselves and find answers to the
problems that stress us. I highly recommend everyone to learn and adopt yoga
as a part of their daily routine because you are the most important person
in your life.

Since I had more time this year, I was able to explore a healthy style of cooking.
We still eat out a lot but I have now learnt the art of striking a balance between
an indulgent meal and a healthy meal. I have not excluded unhealthy foods
completely but I have now included nutritious meals as a part of our regular diet.
My husband and I exercise as many days as we can and eat well.

Every small step in a positive direction is an achievement.
Despite the challenges and difficulties I faced this year,
I am still here and fighting,
Despite the friendships broken and the new ones made,
I am still here and smiling,
There were good days and very good days and through tears and smiles, I survived,
I may not be a part of the rat race and the madness yet
my zeal to perform has not died,
Through tough challenges and loved ones support I have
realized that no matter how much life pulls you down,
realized that no matter how much life pulls you down,
One must always remember that you can if you think you can.
I once again wish you all a joyous and happy new year.
May all your dreams come true and may you spread the
message of positivity everywhere. Let us inspire and be inspired.
