Hence we should make use of our social media time and attention with thorough caution.

I am a preacher and seeker of motivation and inspiration. The following are the three of my most favorite people.
Whenever I need to recharge myself, I seek refuge in their blogs, books or tutorials.
Frequently in this fast moving life, when life hits us with a brick in our head, we need to seek refuge in these books to enliven and revitalize ourselves.
This is why these three people are special to me.
All the 3 favorite meals of my family involve healthy ingredients. Being very conscious of your diet is a lesson in itself. Diet as Steve Jobs mentioned in his final speech, is one of the best doctors.
The three most loved meals are 1) Grilled Salmon 2) Veggies and Chicken Salad and 3) Fresh Fruits

I consider October as the Best Month of the Year.
The month of October, heralds the arrival of Autumn season as well as a string of festivals wherein you can enjoy quality time with family and friends.
This is also a time of the year when you take stock of the hard work done over the best part of the year.
Without family, friends and social bonds our life in incomplete. And that is why this part of the year starting from October, gives me a chance to socialize with friends and family.
The power of social bonds and the ability to respect it, indeed makes us human.
The best part of a city to go at any time is a LAUGHTER CLUB. I will explain in this post why you should join a laughter club.
There is a an emerging need of laughter clubs due to piling stress and anxiety in our lives.

The impression I want to give people is of optimism. Over the years I have understood the science behind the therapy of optimism.
Optimism is a unique human emotion which has the power of self healing by giving hope. Without optimism our brain functioning lacks proper balance and we end up leading non-fulfilling lives.
Science has proven that having hope and faith can improve the functioning of our mind for the better.
As Simon Sinek rightly defines Optimism:
“OPTIMISM is NOT the DENIAL of the CURRENT STATE. OPTIMISM is the BELIEF that the FUTURE is BRIGHT.”
