Death Reminds Us to Live Better – Despite the Contradiction

Everything that happens in life is a lesson, even death. I truly believe in this adage. Everything that is happening, from the tiniest of things, to the biggest of things, is a lesson that we need to learn at that moment in time.

I am in India visiting relatives, taking my parents around, and I am seeing a lot of poverty. And also a lot of joy.

The biggest lesson that is served to anyone is to remember to appreciate life. Appreciate that you are here, and that you are alive. Appreciate that you can move your limbs, and make a noise, and eat some food, and talk to friends and family.

Without all of this appreciation, we are dead. Zombies moving through the world, pretending to be alive, but not.

My mother’s sister’s husband died while we were in India. It’s not a big deal. There are billions of people on this planet. And one more dying shouldn’t be a big deal. But of course, it is to us. He was a quiet, smiling man, who lived his life to the max, and died in his 80s.

The lesson is here for us to take, if we wish to.

Be Careful What You Wish For – You Just Might Get It

There are so many things I want to say about this topic. I have been thinking a lot about wishes, hopes, desires, dreams, and goals. I turned 35 this year. And thankfully, I have never been the kind of person who has to have accomplished a bunch of meaningless tasks before a certain age. I am not disappointed in myself or my life because I am not married. Or because I don’t have babies, or I don’t have a dog.

I am happy that I am who I am, I have done what I have done, and I own what I own.

Interestingly enough, I no longer have a bucket list. I used to have a long, long one when I was in my twenties. There were so many things on it, and I wanted to accomplish them all by the age of 35. But thankfully, I have either accomplished a lot of those things already, and realized they weren’t as much of a big deal as I thought they would be. Or I realized that most things, once achieved, lose their lustre, and turn out to be nonsensical wishes anyways. (more…)

[Ep 78] Dreamwork To Understand The Subconscious Mind

In this episode, I’ll be speaking about dreamwork and how we can use our dreams to understand our subconscious mind and the signs and signals that the universe is sending our way through our subconscious and dreams. Some people don’t think dreams are very important. They're just something random that happens while we sleep and when we awake, they are done and over with. Dreams are so much more than that - they are a gateway, a pathway, a tunnel into the future; to what we wish to have, what we wish to be, and what we wish to let go of. If we remember and really focus on our dreams, they can tell us so much information about us and our subconscious. Emotions and thoughts that we didn’t even realize we had.

You Can’t Go Back, No Matter How Hard You Try

Recently, I went to Dubai for a quick transit trip. I hadn’t been back to Dubai in 18 years at that point. I had spent some of the happiest years in my teenage years in Dubai, and then we left when I was 16. It was a bittersweet end to a few brilliant years in the country and I always had this desire, this internal wanting to go back – to go visit my childhood place, the country where I had made so many beautiful memories.

A few days ago, I got that wish fulfilled. I was going to visit my birthplace, India, for 3 whole weeks, and we were going to transit through none other than Dubai. Wow, what a coincidence. Could this be a sign from the universe? Telling me perhaps that I can go back and capture those years and memories from the past.

Of course, you know where this story is going. As the taxi drove us around the hot concrete jungle that is Dubai, I felt a pang in my heart. This is not my Dubai. This is not the place that I remember in my heart – the place that I had been dutifully storing in my memories for so long. It was an imposter! I felt angry, and betrayed. I felt hurt, and confused.
