Kanan Jaswal's Thoughts for the Days of August 2020
01 Aug: Nature does not tolerate a vacuum; either we control ourselves or someone else will.
02 Aug: We live in ideas, we live by ideas, then, how can we ever run out of ideas? 03 Aug: For achieving great success, dream big and live those dreams with enthusiasm.
04 Aug: Don't know any more what you should write? Start writing all the same and soon, out of sheer habit, you will be making sense.
05 Aug: Let us do something useful and beneficial to society and to the nation before death is able to steal yet another day from our lives.
06 Aug: The genes provide the hardware and the operating system but we have to write and run our own software for self-growth.
07 Aug: By paying attention to fact-based criticism, we open fresh avenues of our growth as a human being.
08 Aug: My goal beckons and challenges me to find a path to it, and to walk on that come what may.
09 Aug: If we try, we may or may not succeed, but if we don't, the outcome is not at all in doubt, it is unqualified failure.
10 Aug: Never lying takes a lot of courage. In that, in fact, it is only a step behind always telling the truth.
11 Aug: Life can be a burden for those who live it in weeks, months, and years, and not in days, hours, and minutes.
12 Aug: Don't leave it to tomorrow, how can you rob today of what rightfully belongs to it?
13 Aug; If unable to forgive someone for causing us emotional suffering, we can still achieve a closure by wishing them well while neither forgiving them nor forgetting their hurtful acts or words.
14 Aug: Only the strong and brave can truly forgive; the rest can just make a show of it.
15 Aug: We should try to be like weather balloons - tethered to the ground, yet soaring with the clouds.
16 Aug: It's a beautiful morning; let us remember the persons we have had differences with and wish them the very best in life.
17 Aug: If happiness is the objective of your life, let this happiness be derived from being useful to society, from being useful to the nation.
18 Aug: You have done your best, congratulations! Now, you should improve upon it.
19 Aug: Let us strive to become what we pretend to be.
20 Aug: Plan, by all means, for years, but execute those plans moment to moment.
21 Aug: While putting anything in public domain, one must be prepared to face criticism, even ridicule.
22 Aug: Life asks us questions, sometimes tough, sometimes easy, and we have to answer them all. So long as we are answering them mindfully and to the best of our ability, we should be content and happy.
02 Aug: We live in ideas, we live by ideas, then, how can we ever run out of ideas? 03 Aug: For achieving great success, dream big and live those dreams with enthusiasm.

23 Aug: Celebrate the gift of today, not because you may have an apprehension that tomorrow is going to be worse, but because here's a chance to improve upon yesterday.
24 Aug: Wrong practice makes perfectly wrong, and so does the practice of a wrong.
25 Aug: Everyone is selfish, the difference is in what they mean by self. For some, it means only their person, for others it could mean their family, religious community, race, nation, the earth or even the universe.
26 Aug: We can't stay the same, either we improve or we worsen. Can there ever be an easier choice than this?
27 Aug: Only the powerful who are in a position to effectively punish an offender can truly forgive. Forgiveness by almost all others is either sham or a painful admission of impotence and helplessness.
28 Aug: We procrastinate doing something because we fear not being able to do it properly. But the ingenuity with which we hide this fact should have been employed, in the first place, in doing that thing.
29 Aug: Don't turn solitude into loneliness; just think, if you, yourself, don't like your company, who else would?
30 Aug: The realisation that we are our own masters liberates us to become more confident and responsible.
31 Aug: We are what we are because of our thoughts, words, and actions, and not because of what others think or talk about us. We must, however, profit from constructive feedback and criticism.
