Mindful Musings


You may have heard the popular quote, “You are the product of the 5 closest people in your life.” Although studies actually shows that you are a products of everyone in your life and everyone in their life.

Think of it like a ripple effect. You may have heard of the ripple effect as: when you create a difference in someone’s life, you impact everyone influenced by them throughout their lifetime.

Well it goes exactly the same way back to yourself. You are impacted by everyone around you and everyone around them.

So the big question is, who are you surrounding yourself with?

It’s so much more than just the 5 closest people in your life.

Now let’s think about four very important parts of our lives:

Your Self:

  • Your personality creates your personal reality 

  • Have fun being your own best friend and enjoying your own company 

  • Mostly everything that got into your life is because you said yes to it 

  • What you think of yourself is a lot more important than what other people think of you

Your Love:

  • Love fearlessly

  • All that really matters is how you love.
    Nothing else is more important than loving. 

  • If someone makes you happy, make them happier. Nobody loses by you loving more. Ever.

  • Most importantly - learning to love ourselves is our biggest superpower



Your Time:

  • Your time is valuable

  • Be mindful of investing it doing what you love

  • Give it to people who know the worth of spending a moment by your side

  • Your time is irreplaceable - be present in every moment


Your Challenges:

  • Where there is frustration and challenges - there is room for expansion 

  • Expansion of the mind, of your values, of your education - we are never too old to learn

  • The next time you feel triggered, look for how you’re being asked to grow

I think we are a bit like stars. 

Something happens to burst us open ; but when we burst open and think we are dying; we’re actually turning into a supernova; 

And then when we look at ourselves again, 

We see we are more incredible than we were before. 








There’s an Indian proverb that says that everyone is a house with 4 rooms - a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time. But we must explore every room each day, even if only to keep it aired. 




Life is scary 

Following our purpose is scary 

Loving someone is scary 

Taking risks is scary 

Getting out of your comfort zone is scary 

Being vulnerable is scary 

Being out authentic selves can be scary 

Get real with yourself - Life is too short to pretend we have it all together 


And lastly…

Sending love and beautiful energy to anyone who needs it today and didn’t receive it today. Just because someone didn’t give it to you doesn’t mean you don’t deserve it. You are valued and important and loved more than you know.
