Peace Within

"Peace Within"
Didn't I tell you? I am a chemist by education and a photographer by passion and experience. As, New Year, 2017, started, I feel myself to start new chapter and each page speaks about me. At the same time, I am lover: love my parents, brother, friends, and everyone and a giver. I give without regret or restraint and rarely expect anything in return. Admittedly, this combination can be lethal to my well-being.
I know many of us like me and see a discouraging pattern: those who have it in their nature to love without limits ironically impede the pathways of self-love. The more they love another, it seems, the less they are able to love themselves. Along with many other things in life, introspection and inner evolution taught me an invaluable lesson in caring for myself.
Through honest reflection and a mindful shift, I will discover the secret hiding place of my self-love. Through daily efforts, I will be able to live by my new-found sense of self-worth. These are some of my fine actions, I will be doing this year and as always in creating a positive switch in mentality and reestablishing a profound love of the self:
1. Put myself first
2. Forgive myself
3. Say, I love myself
4. Recognize myself
5. Do something that I love each day
6. Cut out all the negative influences
7. Do meditation when I have time
8. Read research articles related to chemistry and books a lot.
9. Maintain my health
10. Celebrate my worth
11. Thrive on creativity
12. Work hard as never before and as always
13. Do photography mostly on my weekend.
14. Tolerate people and their behaviors.
15. Never make vicious circles and feelings.
16. Never miss the opportunity.
Yes, I thought of keeping all the actions here point wise. But, while writing, I got asleep. These actions at least I will be doing now onwards. I promise, I will not distract people and their happiness.
Yes, now looking back 2016 briefly, it feels like it has been violent year so far. We have so many terror attacks, they are even so hard to contemplate. Syria, Iraq were the most affected countries by the war and conflict. Places like Aleppo, Mosul, Isatanbul( Last night also 39 people have been killed by gun man or woman in night club who were celebrating new year's eve), Paris, Brussels, Orlando and many other places have been prey of terror attacks.
Thousands of people were killed, millions have become refugees and homeless. Many of them lost their loved ones. Children lost their parents and so on. I feel very sad and compassionate for those people what they have been through with: struggling and walking to refugee camps, empty stomachs, without water, waving white flags on the way, waiting for rescue teams, sound of guns, snipers, bombs, and etc. These sound very terrifying.
Yes, talking about violent event in my country, the most heart breaking violent event was a month + long blockade by India. I don't want to explain those hard times in details. Thank you so much former PM for maintaining stability among Nepalese people in those days. We are one.
Now, moving on with some of our achievements and discoveries in the year, 2016, the discovery of the earliest known physical evidence of tea from the mausoleum of Emperor Jing of Han in Xi'an is reported, indicating that tea from the genus Camellia was drunk by Han Dynasty emperors as early as 2nd century BC.
Astronomers identify IDCS1426 as the most distant massive galaxy cluster yet discovered, at 10 billion light years from Earth.
Mathematicians, as part of the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, report the discovery of a new prime number: "274,207,281 − 1".
A successful head transplant on a monkey by scientists in China is reported.
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) approved the name and symbols for four elements: nihonium (Nh), moscovium (Mc), tennessine (Ts), and oganesson (Og), respectively for element 113, 115, 117, and 118.
Scientists announce discovery of clear gravitational wave signal, ripples in spacetime first predicted by Albert Einstein.
Yes, these are some of the discoveries of the last year.
I thought of defining 2016 in pages but now also I felt very asleep...
I hope this year brings much happiness in people's lives and equanimity among us...
Follow the above actions, you will find something change in your life in a good way. Bad ways, I don't write. Thank you so much for reading this quietly.
