Don't Lose Hope: Show Faith, Share Love


When Shree stepped off the bridge in mid-2017, she had every reason for wanting to throw in the crappy hand life had dealt her. Recently divorced, her career was going nowhere, living on her own was proving to be financially tough.

But on her way down, she had a realization. If she checked out now, her own children would suffer precisely the same mom-shaped hole in their life as she had. So instead of giving up when she hit the water, she swam to safety.

This was despite suffering a collapsed lung, shattered ribs, and burst spleen—all so she might see her kids again.

But that isn’t even the amazing bit. That came two weeks later when Shree’s story made it to the newspapers and caught the eye of a serial investor. Specifically, he read about her experience, and it just so happened that she was freaking amazing organic farmer.

Within a week of reading her story, he had tracked her down and put two other potential investors in touch. After literally years of trying, Shree had finally able to start her MSE & make it big enough to employee 37 other people —all because someone cared enough about a stranger’s misery to sacrifice few hours of his life helping her.

There are thousands of stories of sons, daughters, friends, sisters, brothers, parents who came so close but realized at the last moment there was someone out there who still loved them. 

There are always people who will miss you when you go, no matter how hopeless things might feel. There are always people willing to help, even if it doesn’t seem like it at the time.

Demystifying The 4:00 am Morning Routine

What happens when you get up early? That’s a question I have researched many times. I like getting up early and knowing that it does good for my body & mood; I get that extra strength to keep this habit. In this article, I explore some of the deeper mysteries of how the mind works when it is activated earlier than usual. Hope you feel as inspired reading it as much as I loved writing it. Making the morning routine To those who can get up early without setting alarm, I say you are blessed. Not many have that much of control over the self. To me, the greatest thing that made me develop this habit was reframing my idea of it. I had tried everything. From putting up a running gear in bed for the morning to setting puzzles as the alarm on the phone, I did it all. Some days I got up before the alarm even rang, but other days were a pain. I slogged out of bed, put down the alarm, and slept again. The intoxicating morning sleep had me in its ever-long grasps. Every night I wo
