Many times in our lives, the Universe puts us in situations where we face complete mental and spiritual breakdowns. We start questioning everything around us from faith to societal constructs, educational practices to everyday life norms. It takes us to break down completely to reconsider everything we have been taught in our lives. This continuous questioning inside us about ‘What went wrong?’ is what leads us to start seeing things with a different perspective.
In order to overcome our setbacks and reconstruct our lives, it is important that we learn from our past mistakes. This accountability helps us in not only righting our wrongs but also in making impactful comebacks. Having said that, have you ever considered what is it that aids us in the process of embracing new beginnings? The answer is simple: #FOCUS
Yes my friends! ‘Focus’, a five lettered word with immense power. If you keep focusing on the setbacks and put all your energy into these events repeatedly, there will come a time when you will burnout. Your mind will get exhausted and soul dampened. So, what must one do? Shouldn’t we take our time in healing? Yes you should. You must entertain sadness when it comes, cry your heart out, meditate, pray, travel, vent as much as you want and be done with it. You must consciously make a choice to pull yourself out of the box of darkness other people’s actions or bad incidents put you into.
The secret is to let the phase of sadness pass gracefully and then let it go. Bury the past, burn the memories and then move on. You must decide to recreate life for yourself and make intentional efforts to do so. Do whatever it takes. Relocate, go for a holiday trip, read self help books, watch good movies, listen to uplifting songs, draw, color, paint and consume any type of content accordingly.
In addition to all the ingredients mentioned above, recipe of a new life does consist of good friends, supportive family and every person or living being who helps you keep your peace of mind. It is very important to have people in your life who love you despite your shortcomings and help you improve them. People who #support your dreams and #believe in your abilities. People who restore your faith in humanity and your confidence in yourself when you feel weak. Such people must be an integral part of our support groups. People we could look up to, go to for advice, share a secret with, party and enjoy life with, share our sorrows and happiness with. These people become our pillars of strength. Have you ever noticed closely, none of the superheroes are able to achieve their full potential without the support of their home teams? Be it #Flash, Batman or Arrow. Just like them we too need our home teams to chrish and cheer for us.
Last but not the least, we need to keep an attitude of gratitude in our lives. This one attribute helps us in rejuvenating our minds and souls. #Gratitude puts us in a good mood by highlighting the blessings we have in our lives. It shifts our focus from what was lost to what is still left to grow ourselves with. When things go dark and you feel your light’s about to get dim, harness your inner power with the help of those who bring the Thunder out of you ❤⚡

The Neverending Story (1984) is a captivating adaptation of a German novel ‘Die Unendliche Geschichte‘ written by Michael Ende. The movie has been co-written and directed by Wolfgang Petersen.
The story revolves around a young boy Bastian who has recently lost his mother. Her death has left him baffled and he keeps having recurring dreams about her. Bastian’s father is a busy man who wants him to move on and is little interested in talking about things which interest him. Bastian is now left in companionship of his books which feed his imagination and allow him to live the life of his dreams. On his way to school, Bastian meets his bullies who chase him off into a library. The librarian, an old man, talks about a mysterious book he has and warns Bastian to stay from it. Bastian, however, dismisses his warning and hides the book in his jacket while the librarian is busy attending a phone call. When the librarian returns, he finds a note by Bastian saying he will return the book.
Auryn: The Childlike Empress’s Medallion
Bastian skips the math test and hides in an empty classroom to read the book. As he opens the book, Bastian gets lost in its adventures and forms a bond with the main character who is also the savior of Fantasia(the imaginary land of human hopes and dreams) –Atreyu.
Through Atreyu, Bastian lives all the adventures and experiences until the Childlike Empress reveals to Atreyu that his main task was to bring the earthling child to her, carrying him within his soul. The Childlike Empress then asks Bastian to call her name and save Fantasia from ‘The Nothing’.
The Ivory Tower
Bastian finally agrees to it and saves Fantasia by believing in the power of his dreams. It is his belief in his dreams and wishes which brings back all the dead parts and beings of Fantasia to life.
The Neverending Story(1984) has some really good lines which can serve as life lessons or quotes. The ones which truly struck a chord with my soul were:
Everyone knew that whoever let sadness overtake him would sink into the swamp (of despair).
It has to hurt if it’s to heal.
Confronted with their true selves, most men run away screaming.
Fantasia is a fantasy land. Each part, each creature is made up of human dreams and hopes. Therefore, it has no boundaries.
Because people are losing hope in their dreams, the Nothing grows stronger. What is the Nothing? It is the emptiness that’s left. It’s like a despair destroying this world.
People who have no hopes are easy to control and whoever has the control, has the power.
These were just some of my favorite lines in the movie. If you want more good lines and motivating speech, then listen to the title track with lyrics, you will fall in love with it too. All in all, the Neverending Story is quite uplifting and motivating in its essence. It propagates the view that kids must be allowed to ‘do what they dream or wish to do’ and in doing so they may find their true selves. So this was a wrap, until next time, ciao from us.
