The Day She Chose Her Dream


A simple visit that turned into a lifelong calling.


This is the story of my sister's daughter who is a teenager. She seems so confident and self-aware. Yes, I still remember how I used to play with her when she was a baby. She was so stubborn in her early years too. But now, the way I see her is completely different

One day, all of our cousins, including her, were sitting together. We were laughing, talking, and all of us were present in that moment.

She sees me as a mentor. One day, I asked her what she wanted to become. A voice full of pride came out, saying: “IPS officer.”

She said it has a story behind it too. Once, she went to a police station with her father due to some passport issue. She saw a board on which the names of the police officers were written. She also saw how they serve people and how much they contribute to our nation. It touched her heart. On that day, she decided to become an IPS officer.And I saw that clarity of purpose can come at any age. I saw a spark in her — a spark of serving others and contributing to the nation. No one told her what her goal should be. It was her inner voice guiding her, her intuition telling her that this is something truly meant to be.


I would say that every individual should have goals — goals that their inner voice tells them they want in life. Like her, she has a story to share about her goal. Reflecting on our goals gives us a purpose to live fully, and it is also a key to happiness.


So, what goal makes your heart light today? I would love to hear your story too.

You Can’t Control Your Thoughts… But You Can Control Your Life

Can We Really Control Our Thoughts? Or Is That a Myth We Have Been Sold? Every day, thousands of thoughts pass through our mind. Some build us. Some break us. And most… just exist. We like to believe that our thoughts define us. That if we could just control them, we would finally become our best version. Calm. Focused. Successful. Unbothered. Sounds perfect, right? But here is  the uncomfortable truth: If controlling thoughts was the key, everyone would already be winning . We have  been taught that “positive thinking” is everything. Think good → feel good → become good. But real life does not work like a motivational quote. Thoughts are unpredictable. They show up uninvited. You do not schedule them. You do not approve them. One moment you feel confident, the next moment doubt sneaks in like it owns the place. So what does that mean? It means thoughts were never fully in your control to begin with. Then Why Do We Feel Stuck? Because instead of acting, we start ar...

The Habbit I’m Most Grateful For

Journaling has changed my whole life; not just socially but mentally, physically, and spiritually too. It all started when I was in the 9th grade, a silly, underconfident, and insecure girl who was aware of the outer world. I used to watch self-growth and self-discovery video summaries of books on YouTube. After watching those videos, I wrote about it in my notebook, saying, “Universe, this is what I learnt today, thank you so much.” How journaling helped me to stay positive: I got so comfortable with that notebook as if she was my best friend. One day, there was a little incident in school and I was so emotionally broken. When I came back home, I was feeling low but I didn’t want to show that side of me to my parents. I felt like I was holding so much weight in my chest. It was the same feeling as when we want to cry but we force ourselves not to cry. So, I wrote about it in my diary. Afterwards, I really felt emotionally light by pouring my feelings into it. At that point in my life,...

Half In Love , Half In Syllabus

So Hey! Guys , I am Preeti . A girl who wants to be a entrepreneur , content creator , writer , public speaker , model , auditor , teacher and a god favourite child in this life. Today I want to share my perspective about teenage love and academics . This is a such kind of topic , we often don't discuss . But it is a very important part of our life which teaches a lot about life.  Why do we feel attracted to someone ? We feel attracted someone because we are living beings . Our brain , heart , and environment  all team up to make that person feel "special" to us . It's a good sign when you see that you are attracted to someone because this shows that you have emotions. We all are human being , we shouldn't feel insecure for liking someone. We're social and emotional beings . So , it's natural to feel drawn to people .  How should we deal with it ?  Sometimes liking someone feels like we are compromising  with our goals . We may end up procrastinating the t...
