Livinston Writes

Whenever we end up in a situation that crushes us, we ask ourselves, "am I not worth more than the birds"? Well, the question may not be the same, but the meaning is common where we think of the burdens and ask why me Lord? Why now? What have I done? And so on... In life, we often come across a series of various challenges that may disrupt our peace of mind. It could be an exam that may decide your career but you fall sick on the day of the exam, it could be your favorite product that fulfills all your basic needs but you are indebted to someone, or it could even be a relationship that you are fighting to win but you don’t know if it is meant for you. These are just some common examples as it would be exhaustive if we go on listing everything.  Each and everything in life is connected one way or the other. For instance; when we have a rewarding career, we'd be able to independently handle life by meeting the basic needs, contributing to the needy, and even getting married...

No matter what people tell you what you can do to make yourself feel better after a bad day, you are short of feeling better unless you eat this Secret Pill! “Provoke that dormant catalyst for change within you; a catalyst that breaks even the strongest Mountains!” Yes, this simple motivational pill can make you feel more than just better! You got to bluntly accept the fact that the change comes from within you and not from the outside. Accepted? Well, let's get started!  Analyze what made your day bad. Can you fix it? Then plan and execute it ASAP. Can you prevent it? Jot it down in your journal. If both are not applicable, then just let it go! Spend time with your family. Share the bad day with your beloved parents or spouse. Trust me, you will feel relieved. Have fun with little kids. They hold nothing in their innocent hearts; And, when you play with them, anything bitter will disappear and make you better. Cuddle with your pets (Fauna). Got a Dog or a fur ball (Cat)? Aw! That...

1. Never disregard the fact that God exists. If you do, you are screwed! "Be spiritual!" 2. Never react to a problem. Learn to respond with optimism. "Learn the Cockroach theory" 3. Never trust someone more than yourself and your family. "Always set a perimeter to keep you safe!" 4. Never hold a grudge against someone. It destroys YOUR peace, not theirs! "Forgive and let go!" 5. Never forget those who stood by you when nobody else did. "Be thankful always!" 6. Never underestimate the power and the purpose of your life. "Learn about Nick Vujicic to get some inspiration!" 7. Never waste your youth by chasing people who would never stay in your life anyway. "Build your career; find a hobby; chase your dreams!" 8. Never have the imprudent idea that you can change someone. Be it any, I repeat, you cannot! You can only accept someone for who they are! All you can do is just pray and get the strength to accept! "Change...

It has been a while since I penned down my thoughts or happen to share them although it makes no sense ultimately. Yet, the sun dawns and dusks; the moon rhymes it all over again, and it all goes round and round. They never ceased to amaze nor do we know what would happen if they cease to exist abruptly. But we do know one thing for sure; when everything ceases; when there’s a total blackout; when the birds don’t sing to the rising sun, and when the stars don’t dance to the pats of the moon; when there is no love or hatred; when there is no rich or poor; when there is respect or disrespect; when there is no inferiority nor superiority; (I leave you empty blanks here to fill it with whatever your hearts may not be content with); And the one thing we all know and admit for sure is that time is ticking and our end is coming. We just don’t know when!  Yes, none of this makes sense. Yet, we run a race in this world to compete with one another, treat others unfairly, bully the helpless a...

There should be a lot of more useful points to be noted too as compared to the points stated below. However, below are some of the points that I have personally gathered based on my experience to help you get started. Beetroot and Pomegranate must be consumed to increase blood count. Recommended to have one as raw, the other as juice, and vice versa. Beetroot increases the blood count faster than pomegranate. Drumstick Leaves (Murungai Keerai) must also be consumed to increase blood count. Even if vomiting is prevalent, having this water with a pinch of salt feels good and meets the purpose. A tender coconut a day every day is an added advantage.  Foods with protein content like nuts, grams, dal, etc. will increase the amniotic fluid inside which the baby grows. Should consume it more during the 3rd Trimester if the doctor says fluid is less.  The mother-to-be should be happy always so that the baby born will be a cheerful baby. Reading books during pregnancy will make the bab...

It is obvious that there are several other steps one can take to achieve a healthier lifestyle. But these simple steps help you to get started. Sleep for a minimum of 7 hours between 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. It helps in improving metabolism thus contributing to weight loss and healing the body.  Drink 2 to 3 liters of water per day while sitting and with little amounts over the day. Avoid drinking more at night.  Eat slowly and grind well before swallowing. Avoid eating fast which will take more air.  Completely cut on sugary products including ice cream until an optimum weight is achieved. Advised to not take sugar ever for tea.  Satiate on Dark Chocolate in limited amounts to your heart’s content rather than sugar. Read the Ingredients section of the product to see if Sugar is added. In such a case, avoid it.  Avoid eating heavy foods after 7:00 PM. Have supper before 7:00 PM always and eat light foods.  Cutting on fruits at night is also a good thing.  ...
