GoodMorning Astral Souls!!
I have witnessed that our lives carry weight as we grow older. The sparkle can fade a bit under the pressure of responsibilities, disappointments, and the grind of routine. Burnout, exhaustion, and emotional letdowns can dull even the most passionate spirits.
But knowing that there are still things we haven’t accomplished, emotions we haven’t felt, versions of ourselves we haven’t met—that’s where the hope quietly lives. It’s not about constant excitement, but about remaining open. There’s still wonder left, just quieter and deeper. Sometimes it’s not in the grand goals, but in small, meaningful discoveries.
Even a single new experience, connection, or realisation can breathe a little life back into our tired corners. I have a list that reminds me of why to live. Hope this list has things you still have to accomplish, and it gives you a thought to live life more fully in every moment.
1. To honour the ones you have loved and who loved you back, but you lost them to death.
2. To see yourself grow wiser and see yourself unfold through various phases of your life .
3. To see yourself overcome challenges that will turn you into your finer version and talk about these challenges with gratitude.
4. To see yourself being loved for who you are and not what you have.
5. To see your future children and see yourself being a wonderful parent you never had.
6. To feel the water on your skin and enjoy a good bath again.
7. To capture the beauty of this Universe till the time you can see, stargazing, seeing a rain flower bloom, playing in the soil and seeing the sky change colours every moment.
8. To love this Earth and see the wonders of living on this wonderful blue planet
9. To do wonderful things with this gift of life-Write, sing, dance, laugh, feel deeply and enjoy every emotion to its fullness.
10. To see yourself live an abundant life with someone who sees your potential and you see their potential, and together you create a world where you are believed, and you believe in them.

When not working, can usually be found reading a book, spending (perhaps a little too much) time meditating, practicing yog, or just vibing in the present moment like a mindfulness pro. And—despite claiming she knits very badly—she still picks up the needles now and then. Blogging to share her life learnings is her passion!
