Give Love A Chance

I used to be really obese once upon a time and that drove me to take up aerobics. Since then it's a total obsession. Being in the social circle I have come across the most artificial people.


I used to be really obese once upon a time and that drove me to take up aerobics. Since then it's a total obsession. Being in the social circle I have come across the most artificial people.

Fake is the most appropriate term. Why are people so pretentious? This is one question I always ask myself? Is it their inferiority complex that makes them behave so shallow? To some extent I have learnt with experience that all that goes up has to come down crashing one day.

So please keep in mind in the book of life, when you come crashing down. The whole world will mock and laugh at you. Getting famous overnight is easy in a city, but sustaining it isn't.

When you are successful, beautiful and strong, everybody is jealous and they only look for reasons to mock at you. So what I have learnt is, when I come across all these negative vibes, either I stay away from such people or tell myself that you are only getting more and more successful so these are signs of prosperity.

I come across at least 80 different women in my class everyday. And the most commonly faced problem is 'DEPRESSION'. Depression is a state of mind where a person loses confidence in him and becomes a total pessimist. Depression can be frustrating and because recovering from it takes time, things like financial problems, the break up of a relationship, or a death of a loved one can make it worse.

u00a0Sometimes too much success, fame and money at a young age can also get you depressed and you could lose your focus in life. Getting rich and famous is comparatively easy than sustaining it, leading to depression.

Mother Teresa said, "In today's world, people are not starving because they don't have food to eat, but they are starving for love and care and emotional support." Today people are more jealous of others' success. A musician is jealous of another musician; a fitness expert jealous of another successful fitness expert, and the count goes on.

But I wonder why we can't be happy with others' success? Can't we try to love everyone unconditionally. Let's dream of a world where there is love and fight this battle called 'LIFE' with open arms.
