Are you grateful?

Published October 2, 2025 By 8ijay.shrestha

Desire is a contract that you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want.
Naval Ravikant

^{Lost Myself – SYML}

These days I have been hooked into the World History Videos.

It is hard for me to fathom the fact that no-one had hot shower until 50 years ago.

The electricity.

The entertainment.

Technology, the amenities, modern medicine, and the infrastructure we have today are mere fragments of imaginations for the ones who lived 100 years ago.

Someone said it right, “We are living like Kings.”

Yet.

We are never objectively happy.

Subjectively worse.

To top it off, the rampant social media; the flex culture in tandem bringing in the worst of us. Nakedly. Ignorantly. Unknowingly.

Are you grateful?

Namaste.

Is, Was

More is lost by indecision than wrong decision
Marcus Tullius Cicero

^{Chezile – Beanie}

Robin is an ordinary 88 years old man just sitting on a park — all by himself.

When asked about how he feels at his age. He says, “Well… it feels less than 88… I don’t feel 88. It sort of comes up upon me.”

He further adds, “The older you get, the q.u.i.c.k.e.r it goes. and you have to make the most of it.”

There I remembered my Grand Ma.

When asked about if he has any regrets in his life.

He goes,”I suppose, I do,… yes. Not marrying the right girl!”

He digs deeper confronting he had the opportunity but he was too slow. He stresses, “Be Decisive and Go For It if you feel it’s right.”

There I remembered my Wife.

As naked as it can be, there will be one day when my ‘Is’ will become ‘Was’

When, stuff I stress about today will mean Nothing!

When, people or things that mean world to me today will be a distant memory.

Live immediately! One step at a time.

Namaste.

Not everything in life is in your hands

Published September 4, 2025 By Bijay Shrestha

An easy life is mere a concept. Far from the truth. Lie. Destination without roads.

^{Me and The Devil – Soap&Skin}

Not everyday will be a Monday.

Not everyday will be the bad ones too.

Not everything in life is in your hands.

Not everything in life is promised your ways.

Memento Vivere.

Namaste.

Speak Less

Published May 22, 2025 By 8ijay.shrestha

The more you use your voice without care and caution, the more substance you spend at the expense of your integrity and self-worth.

^{The Hanging Tree’ James Newton Howard ft. Jennifer Lawrence}

Speak Less.

Actions speak.

Silence serves you.

You — Grind.

Namaste.

Good things take time

The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.
The Obstacle Is the Way – Ryan Holiday

^{Laxmi Thapa – Topic}

1293 days since I landed in JFK on October 03, 2021.

Took me 3 years, 6 months, 15 days.

42 months, 15 days to be able to step into the new phase of my life here in the US.

Today was a very special day.

Good things take time.

But your goal is important.

Perseverance is non-negotiable.

Responsibility,.. more responsibilities is called for

Obstacle is the way.

Setbacks would be an integral part of living.

Bits of rain, bits of sunshine are blessings.

Namaste.

Surfer Mentality

Published January 16, 2025 By 8ijay.shrestha

You can’t catch any waves siting on the shore. Always put yourself in the water.
Sahil Bloom

Laage Re Nain – Ayesha Omar, Rohali Hyatt

I was having a conversation with my Twin brother regarding the need of urgency in our lives.

I have been Pro-Urgent for a very long time.

I’m of an opinion that

Urgency invites change, demands commitment and hardship

Change invites Opportunities, demands consistency and discipline.

Opportunities invites responsibilities, makes like meaningful, purposeful and fruitful.

Wisdom demands what Bloom calls a ‘Surfer Mentality’

Meaning.

When a surfer rides a wave, they savor the present, knowing all too well that it won’t last forever. They fully immerse themselves in the experience, embracing each moment with the wisdom that more waves will follow.

Succinctly put.

Be mindful.

Of your decisions.

Of your indecisions.

Namaste.

Charlotte – please be kind

Published January 9, 2025 By Bijay Shrestha

Fall in love with places. Fall in love with the situations. Inspect. Accept. Adapt.

^{My Space is Overgrown – Aayushi}

I will be moving to Charlotte, North Carolina on January 11, 2025.

Having been living a nomadic life since I stepped in the US on October of 2021; The two suitcase life has been delightfully rewarding.

Who else than Colin Wright can explain this way of living.

Not having a stable, fixed household has never been a cause for concern.

I don’t have regrets a bit.

I take it as an opportunity to stretch and grow further.

I take it as an experience of the privileged,.. for the privileged — if things are full-well under control and fore-planned.

I like it.

Most certainly, it will be a wild, exciting, exhilarating and exhausting couple of days. Probably a week or two.

To settle down.

To acclimatize to new normal.

Charlotte — please be kind, gentle and beautiful!

Namaste.

Dream

Published December 26, 2024 By Bijay Shrestha

Sometimes I wonder, why can’t dream be the purpose, … a journey?
Musicpervs

^{500 miles – Joan Baez}

It would be a dream come true.

An ordinary random day I get to say,” We have been happily married for more than 45 years…”

That’s the dream!

Namaste.

Choose love

Published December 20, 2024 By Bijay Shrestha

Choose love, everyday, every-time!

Musicpervs

^{EKDEV LIMBU – Jhim Jhimaune Aankha}

Care to read and you will relate.

Care not, you will relate.

… about choosing love over the alternative!

The secret to lasting love lies in gratitude.
When you have someone special, resist the urge to look elsewhere.
The grass isn’t greener—it’s simply a different shade of the same.

Cherish what you have, for love isn’t about flawless perfection.
It’s about choosing each other, through the chaos,
through the challenges, time and time again.

In a world where quitting comes so easily,
a single argument or a rough day often leads to goodbye.
But the most beautiful love stories are born from resilience.

They are written by those who stay when it’s tough,
who confront their doubts,
and who remind themselves daily how fortunate they are to share their lives.

Love isn’t built on ease; it flourishes through commitment.
Be the story that endures—not because it was effortless,
but because you held on to the magic that made it worth it.

Choose love, always.

Namaste.
