Your Life Your Way

Spice Up Your Life

Since time immemorial, human beings have always longed to have friendships and other close relationships because it fulfills one of the basic needs of humans. Scriptures, epics, myths, literary works, all speak volumes about friendship. We have the examples of David and Jonathan from the holy Bible, Gilgamesh and Enkidu from the myth of Gilgamesh, Antony and Cleopatra, Pyramus and Thisbe, Radha and Krishna, Shakuntala and Dushyant, Shah Jahan and Mumtaz, the list goes on. Friendship is something which adds spice to our life and it helps us to march ahead successfully in our life. As Anais Nin puts it, "Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born." 

Researches reveal that one of the causes of modern day problems like broken relationships, health problems, depression and loneliness is lack of genuine friendship. Without friendship human life becomes mundane, cold, sterile and mechanical. Friendship adds zest to our lives, helping us to bask in the warmth of love and understanding. It enables us to surge ahead in life without being submerged in the complexities of life.

Friendship is the glue that keeps us and the universe around us together. It could be between people with no age bar. It could also be between blood relations as well. The great Greek philosopher Aristotle said, “In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. They keep the young out of mischief; they comfort and aid the old in their weakness, and they incite those in the prime of life to noble deeds.” Just as air is necessary for the humans to survive, so too is friendship in one’s life to thrive.

If humans have survived so long beating all odds and have moved ahead in life, it’s because of the relationship that has existed among them. It does not matter how rich or poor we are. The true measure of our life consists in how many good friends we have. It is a necessity in all walks of life. 

Favorite Color

Most of us have favorite color, may be the same one since childhood. Some must have changed their choice of color or may be the same for their whole life time. Some might change their choice of color according to their need and come back to their favorite when their needs are met.

If you don’t think that you have a personality color  you might think wrong. We dress up, decorate our home or office and choose things according to the choice of color  Do you have any color that you tend to choose constantly? If so then, bingo, that’s your personality color  that the color that reflects your personality and your deepest reflection that of thoughts. The color you like or dislike speaks about your experience with life. It also shows your positive and negative association to the color according to your need.

A best way to keep yourself happy is to surround yourself with the color you love either by wearing them or by decorating your world with it. This will empower your positive emotions and reflect your true self to the world.

Color & its Mood

Color and its Mood

I always felt fascinated and admired the beauty of color. I looked at it differently and I tend to generate different meaning to it. I never thought I would ever put a post on color, but recently I read articles and research papers which happened to really enlighten and influence me with the knowledge on ‘color’. As I am into, once you step into the magical world of color I am sure this knowledge will excite you too and maybe you will never look at color the same way you did before.

What is color?

The scientific explanation to it defines, ‘The property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light’, in simple words the vibration of light energy.

Color Psychology an Introduction

But here I am going to explain in completely different context. I will be focusing on how color affects us and our mood. What color denotes and how it defines the human character.

Yes! I will be referring to color in a psychological manner. Color manages us to give the insight into a powerful tool that we can use in all aspect of our life that includes clothing to the things we decorate and design and to all those things that surround us.

Color Psychology basically tries to explain and define how color affect our emotions, our mood, they way we think, our health and well being, and also our spiritual awareness at conscious and subconscious level.

Color is a vibration of light energy, it affects us all whether we can see it or not and whether we can feel it or not. Visually impaired people understand this accurately and many can feel colors very accurately.

Of course we all see color differently and denote different meaning too each one of it in favor to our choice and affects us with different degrees of intensity, yet it still affects each and every one of us on a subconscious level and it enriches our emotions, our relationships and our lives.
