A whole new world opened up for me. Read the about me page. Trust me, you always find what you are searching for. How will you be successful? How will you meet your soul mate? Stop trying to solve the equations of life. Stop trying to control or change anything outside yourself. Stop trying to force feed anyone. Let go, trust life and enjoy the present. Do you have a person in your life who stands by your side when you are going through most troubling situations? Then you are among the most fortunate people in the world!

Because most people in this world are just like you. They are fighting their toughest battles alone. You know happiest people on earth are not necessarily the richest or most popular ones, neither the poorest or the least popular ones. In last 7 years I have seen something very unfortunate again and again. But after few years, I saw most of these inspiring figures gave up on their dreams themselves. They gradually depleted their reservoir and gave up one day.

Blessed I am that I got right guidance early. Everyday I took few hours to read inspiring books, listen to inspiring audios, watch enlightening videos. It kept me going. So do you have to keep recharging yourself again and again? Know your true self. And if there is love, compassion and forgiveness in your heart, then there is light in your heart. If you are true to yourself, you are worthy enough.

You are unworthy only when you live a lie, no matter how many people you please with that lie. I guess you know that I am an Online Marketing Consultant.
