My 3 Fundas That Bring Out The Best In Me
If three things actually mean a lot to me, and I am lucky enough to do regularly, they would be ~ travel, love, and laugh ~ though not necessarily in that order. For me, these three words transcend all boundaries and give me a permanent continuum amid the randomness and chaos that exist around me. Though there are many wars waged inside me about myself and my life, I hold these three words in high regard. They embroider collective thoughts and images around me giving me a decisive framework on how I should make them manifest.
We are all individuals with our own identity and individuality that defines ‘us’ as people who are unique and different from each other in many ways. During my growing years, I was encouraged to find myself and not imitate the voices of others around me. In fact, it was not that easy initially to be myself {because you are at times influenced by the people around you} but as I grew older those words made sense to me. I am glad that in this journey called ‘life’ I have been able to find my passion and trudge along happily on this path of self-discovery. And in the bargain, rediscover new things about me which at times have taken me completely by surprise.
My 3 fundas that bring out the best in me: Let me break them down for you. I have always believed and I was always told from a very young age, that travelling was the best way to broaden my horizons as new places introduce you to different cultures, provide you with the opportunity to learn about different cuisines, and you get to meet new and interesting people. All these play a role in shaping your perception thereby making you the person you are today.
Love is addictive and is a universal feeling. Everyone needs love ~ from our partners, friends, and family ~ to bloom and blossom. We need companionship to share our innermost thoughts and feelings, to share the good and bad times, and to just let our hair down and be unguarded with the people we love.
We need to laugh more and become light-hearted and a tad less serious when it comes to life. I find laughing therapeutic, and there is something so energising and relaxing about really laughing with someone; the friends that have me in fits of giggles are my best friends!
To conclude: Let us make our lives a refined and cohesive manuscript with lots of love punctuated with giggles and laughs as we discover the magic that lingers in new destinations!
I would love to know what your views are about my experiences, so we both can benefit from them. Please feel free to share in the comments below.
Beautiful post, Tanya. Always inspiring us <3
I'd like to share that humour helps me deal with difficulties, grief and monotony in real-life situations, even if it is brought on by something fictional.
That means a lot, Aparna. Thank you 🙂
Loving this one! It’s always nice to get to see your real side. Oh, and that’s how I’ve been feeling lately.
We are all a reflection of our behaviour and the environment…
This rings a bell… One of the reasons why I pursue personal development is because I want to be the best version of myself! Loved it ❤️
This has been my opportunity to learn about life; about delivering a new form of energy out of the old ones.
I definitely agree with this! Motivation is merely the start; resilience will get us to the finish!
This is how individual channels work too and it’s empowering.
The face reflects the soul… Doesn’t get any better than this! Amazing post as always, Tanya!
p.s. The thrill of discovering new cultures and cuisines is best experienced with someone you love. It is the perfect blend of the familiar with the unfamiliar.
Thank you, Pavana.
Really enjoyed this! And that’s an attitude! Thanks for the added motivation, Tanya. xx
Aw ~ thank you, Kajal. It allows us to dig deep into ourselves and pull the winter out of us.
That’s what I need now… Indeed my friend, your work is just amazing and has the potential to change the world.
Thank you for your kind words, Naina.
Motivating content, Tanya! We all grow up in different environments… But in my case and regardless of how things are now, this rings true.
Yes… use your past and experience as your advantage.
That’s motivational! Although I don’t believe it’s this cut and dry, but it’s definitely food for thought.
Thank you for sharing, Rashi.
Always love your posts, and today I want to deposit some appreciation into your account. Thank you for what you do, Tanya!
Big hug!
Wonderful writing, and very inspiring. You have some great life lessons on your blog! Loving this post especially! xx
…change the vision of your life. 🙂
Couldn’t agree more! My most favourite emotion to share with my partner on a daily basis is laughter. Something about sharing a laugh with my partner makes me feel closer to him. Thanks for the needed motivation, Tanya!!
You’re very welcome, Padma. It certainly allows us to grow into the person we want to become.
Love, Travel and Laugh ~ all three are real essentials of life.
Yes, they are. 🙂
As you said, travelling helps you learn new things, especially in a country like INDIA. It’s the best way to learn more about different cultures and taste different cuisine. Of course, hand-loom fabrics all across India are a real treat to women as well.
Thank you for sharing, Lakshmi.
Well said. This world is filled with so many negative and bad events that people fail to realize and see all the amazing events happening right in front of them and all around them.
Wouldn’t it be nice to always try to see the brighter/ positive side of life and be thankful for all that you have?
If I make even the tiniest bit of progress each day then today I’m stronger, more insightful and kinder than I was yesterday. This personal story arch is centering and operating from strength gives one confidence. Thank you for sharing. xx
Improve myself. Improve the world around me. 🙂
Yes! I say ~ never stop trying or moving ahead in life. Life happens to those who choose to live. So rather than existing live it.
The benefit of being comfortable with change is that you operate from clarity instead of fear and make better decisions.
This is a beautiful share. My personal motto is that I may not be able to help everyone but I can choose not to worry or bully them.
Thank you, Prathima. Life can be a difficult and confusing experience at the best of times…
Beautifully written! I, personally, love the diversity in this world and never feel threatened when there is a difference of opinion with others. I think each new perspective or idea gives you a chance to learn something new sometimes about the idea or about yourself or others. 🙂
True. One shouldn’t see any need to feel superior or inferior to anyone.
Loving this blog, and love, love, love your writing! I’ve only blogged sporadically, but you’re motivating me to be a better blogger! I hope you are well and having a lovely week, Tanya!
Glad to hear it, Priya! I can’t wait to read about your adventures!
I can so relate! Rather appreciate this, Tanya!
On a side note: Your blog is gorgeous and exquisite, with wonderful storytelling. And every time I visit, I find myself marking quotes, nodding along and getting the warm and fuzzies! xx
Aw ~ this is darling! Thank you, Veena. 🙂
It’s a bit of a personal one today, eh?! Love the honesty. Seek positive ways in moving forward, but ultimately seek happiness and take action keeping love in mind!
Definitely food for thought…
So well written.. touched. I love that today’s blog post is a personal one on your life’s journey… I could have written it myself, it is so close to my own thoughts! Keep inspiring.
Thank you, Abhijeet. I can’t help but be amazed at the changes in myself, especially in this year… If this is an indication of the growth and learning that I’m going to have into the future, then bring it on!
