Be grateful for every little things

A lunch and a grateful heart

Tucked away between villages, in a place embraced by peace and serenity, stands a quiet nunnery that fate somehow led me to visit. It is a place that fills the mind with peace and tranquility. Nuns and elderly people live there, quietly circumambulating the stupas while chanting mani prayers, creating an atmosphere of deep faith, simplicity, and serenity. We went there to offer our prayers and on the way, we came across a group of people clearing the road under scorching sun. Despite the heat and the demanding work, their faces were filled with smiles and a spirit of service. Witnessing their dedication and cooperation was truly heartwarming, and I deeply appreciated their hard work as we passed by.

Upon reaching the nunnery, we were warmly welcomed by a nun who graciously guided us through the premises with utmost sincerity and heartfelt hospitality. We offered our prayers and lit butter lamps, then circumambulated the majestic stupa. For a moment, we found ourselves lost in the beauty of nature surrounding us.

The nun kindly welcomed us for tea, which was served with such warmth and love. My heart was already filled with gratitude, and then they went on to prepare lunch for us. They called it a simple lunch, but it was truly a sumptuous feast. For them, it may have been just a simple meal, but for me, it was an expression of love, care, and heartfelt hospitality.

We offered a small amount as a token of our gratitude. Though it may seem modest, the feeling behind it was profound. What we experienced was beyond words, and it is something I will carry with me and remember always. Gratitude in life does not always come from financial help or grand gestures. It can be as simple as a cup of tea, a bottle of water, or a kind and polite conversation—small acts that can leave someone deeply grateful. Life becomes more beautiful with gratitude. Gratitude has the power to calm the mind and connect people with one another, because within gratitude lies the love, care, and understanding that people truly need.

Gratitude is a necessity—an intangible quality that can create tangible effects on the people around us. Be grateful, and let the love you carry be shared generously with the world.

Introspect yourself, but More Importantly, LOVE yourself.

How many embarrassing moments do you have in your life? Well, for me I have many. Some are quite depressing to even think about. Have you always spoken your thoughts out to the people? It's a big No for me. If I have always spoken my thoughts out, I don't know whether I will be proud and happy of myself or maybe left out somewhere with no one around. I have always suppressed my feelings, filtered the words that came out of my mouth and put on a smile to disguise everything so that I can fit in this society. Have you ever regretted doing something and did it all over again? I did it so many times and regretted every time. I don't know why but I am sure that's my unstable mind making the same wrong choice over and over again. Does your mind replay the embarrassing moments again and again? My mind does it every time and I feel depressed and embarrassed every time I remember. Have you bought something and wished you never bought that just so you could hav...

Leadership, Legacy, and Lessons: The Words of Bhutan’s Kings.

11.11 I am truly blessed to be born in Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon. Our country is not only rich in values and culture but also takes great pride in its natural heritage, with 69.71% of its land under forest cover—well above the constitutional requirement to maintain at least 60%. Bhutan is a peaceful nation, often referred to as the last Shangri-La, and above all, it is fortunate to be guided by benevolent and visionary leaders who embody the highest ideals. Our monarchs lead by example and inspire, motivate, encourage, and empower every Bhutanese. We, the people of Bhutan, are privileged to have selfless monarchs who have gone to the battlefield to protect their citizens and who have sacrificed personal comforts to serve the nation. Since the establishment of the monarchy in 1907, our kings have served with unparalleled dedication, compassion, empathy, love, care, and determination. This year, our Fourth Druk Gyalpo turns Seventy. When His Majesty described the Fourt...

Why gratitude matter and how it can change our life.

Things I am grateful for in life I am grateful for the beautiful motherhood that my son gave me. He always smiles at me and he understands me more than anyone would ever do. He gave me the reason I should be at my better version and the reason I should do the best. The energy he gives me and the motivation I see in my son make my life a lot better. I am grateful that I have him as my son and I will try my every best to give him the best life he deserves. As a working mom, things would have been so difficult without the help of my mother. Taking the role of baby sitter to take care of my son. I am forever grateful for her for giving me this life and now I am even more grateful for her for taking care of my son. Though it aches my heart for not being able to do anything grand for her. She stood beside me for any decision I make in my life, she was there cheering for every little success I have and she just feels happy to see me living, giving a whole lot of reasons that...
