Every moment that you live inside your head thinking about the past or the future is a moment that you've missed. And while it feels that the moments in our lives are abundant, they slip away so quickly. Live every moment. Live in the here and now, not inside your head.

Like a video game, life will surprise you with its twists and turns. You can frown upon its unpredictability or, like a true gamer, you can acknowledge that this is what makes the game FUN. Enjoy the game. I hope you have the TIME OF YOUR LIFE.

One of the most powerful conversations I had on #SloMo till date. Alya Mooro openly shares how society attempts to mold a woman. Everyone needs to take score and change behavior till we really learn to empower the feminine.

There is nothing more to lose; there is nothing more to fear. Eckhart Tolle says this is “to die before you die,” to live life knowing that, because one day it’ll all be gone, there’s really nothing that you have, and so nothing you have to lose.

Acceptance is not a sign of weakness, it is not a form of surrender. It is a sign of strength An acknowledgment of the new reality of one's life that prepares us to recognize what it is that we can no longer influence and, as a result, focus on what we can actually change.

You are not the star of the movie. Most of what happens around you isn’t about you at all. There are infinite numbers of other movies. In those, if you feature at all, you’re just a supporting actor. It would really help your happiness if you started to look at your life that way
