Unplug Yourself

-

Unplug yourself from the world around,
Rest, breathe, and rejuvenate.
In these turbulent times,
Meet your inner mate.
Read an empowering book,
Introspect while you read,
Tune in to some soothing music,
Rather than that scary news feed.
Look at the beautiful blue sky,
Hear the chirping of a bird on a tree,
From the fear that is clutching your mind,
Set yourself free.
Let the mind meander to far off lands,
That in the past you may have seen,
Call some friends and let them know,
To connect with them you’re keen.
Family time is the way to go,
Sit together and enjoy a simple meal,
With small gestures let them know,
The extent of what you feel.
Let gratitude and generosity,
Be your guiding force,
Unplug yourself even if for a bit,
Let go of life’s woes.

Jealousy can consist of one or more emotions such as anger, resentment, inadequacy, helplessness or disgust. So what is the basis of jealousy? It’s basically a lack of confidence in one’s abilities and a poor self-image. When a person feels inadequate or lacking in some department, he/she begins to compare himself with those who are good and successful at that particular activity. When he sees others doing a great job of something that he/she is not able to, this gives rise to resentment and jealousy. Very often, people feel that others around them get things easily and their lives are much more comfortable than theirs. What they may not realize is that everyone has their share of good and bad in...

Nemesis

-
His ego was his Nemesis Slowly he lost all who were close to him His love left, when there was no love left The kids turned their back when their dignity was challenged He stood there like a rock Unmoving, unrelenting Arms wrapped around his chest Not letting any warmth in Lest it melts his heart He may as well have been in a graveyard For there was no life left Truly his ego was his nemesis It knew how to defeat him so well.
