10 reminders for those who don’t know what they are doing with their life.
The word hustle is often emphasized a lot by the social media influencers and motivational videos, the world we dwell in is established by humans who thrive in whatever they stumble upon. Society has emerged from the foundationalism of being ultra productive every day to achieve milestones after milestones in every step of your trajectory. But the question lies how do we stay fluid towards every circumstance life brings upon us and work tirelessly towards our aims and desires. Achievements are often sources of validation for self that build our esteem and trust in the decisions we make for ourselves. It is normal for an individual to not forge their way restricted by the timelines that are benchmarked upon us. Here are 10 reminders that will help you realize life is more than hustling for productivity every day.

One Step at a time
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, a notion that I have embraced and ingrained in my psyche through the discourse of years. Life has its own ways of teaching you its lessons of joy, contempt, hatred, distress, love and healing. We dance, we stumble, we cry, we mourn and we get up. In the hours of plight we hold on to the tiniest peonies of hope, to get on the other side of life, to face the light, to face radiance that our soul craves and to be the best version of us that we have ever been. The healed version of us, the version of us that loves what they do and have faith in how far they can go and hold immense pride in how far they have come.

A Dear Me Letter
Dear Me, You couldn't ask people to write you letters without writing one yourself. That would just be plain rude. The frustrating about writing to myself is that I have nothing good to say about you. You still get sick to your stomach when you see yourself in the mirror. You still only eat once a day most days and that's only because your family watches you like a hawk and you have to (not to mention the low blood sugar issue, that sucks too). You go about everything you do with half-baked enthusiasm because you know you'll fail anyway. Just like your business. Just like your book.

A Tale of Unfulfilled Promises and Endless Waiting
In a certain year, he was nineteen years old and spending his only southern vacation at his aunt's house. She was the girl next door. Her stepmother was unkind to her. When he first saw her, she was wearing a dirty white cotton dress, with red and swollen finger marks on her face. Tears filled her eyes, yet her expression was cold. He squatted in front of her and asked, "Do you like puppies?" He showed her a white puppy he had picked up in a bamboo basket.

The Seductive Neighbour. Content Warning.
I’ll never forget those softly spoken words. The way that she made eye contact while getting out of my car and softly uttered those words immediately got my mind racing with possibilities. It seemed to me as if they were thrown out almost as an afterthought, yet I couldn’t help wondering if there was an unspoken invitation there. The impact of them resonated with me for months.

Secrets. Content Warning.
Have you ever looked back and thought about lies you told and secrets you kept in the past, and wondered why you told them or kept them – especially the ones that should have never been kept? She did. Everyday. Out of all of her past secrets and lies, there is one time in her life that stands out above the rest. One period where all she kept were secrets, and all she spoke were lies.

Ten Valuable Life Lessons Who Lead To A Balanced and Successful Life:
1. Embrace Failure as a Learning Opportunity Failure is not a dead end; it's a stepping stone. One of the most valuable lessons you can learn is that mistakes and setbacks are integral parts of growth. Failure teaches resilience, patience, and problem-solving skills. When you fail, you learn more about what doesn’t work, which helps you refine your approach for future success. Many of the most successful people—whether entrepreneurs, artists, or innovators—often attribute their greatest achievements to lessons learned from their failures. The key is to see failure as feedback, not defeat.
