A Navigator of life.

I recall my first deployment as a social worker for an NGO in a remote village. Our small plane landed on the snowy airport, I saw children and women standing around the airport holding ropes and sacks, were porters. I was guided to the office from the airport on a two-hour walk, and a woman approached me on the way, showing me her badly infected and wounded hand. I was unable to fully examine the wound because it was too infected. She believed that any pills or medicine could heal her wound, but at that time I couldn't help her immediately, I was afraid. Later, we organized a few medical camps in many villages to provide aid.

This incident deeply disturbed me, and I remember asking my father why he had migrated from the mountain to the flat land called Kailali, where I grew up. As he took me to my birthplace village in the mountain, he smiled and told me that the reason for the migration was to provide a better life for me and my brothers and to send us to school. At the time, I didn't fully understand, but later on, with time, it became my source of inspiration.

In conclusion, we may not get the favour all the time, but something is there to show the path and way then after we must navigate our own lives, our families, and our communities, regardless of our past circumstances. We must find our own source of motivation to live on and continue sharing our experiences with others so that we can stay on track.

I decided to write.

On January 7th, 2023, as I sat down to write my New Year's resolution, I decided to take a look back at my old diaries from 2008. I reviewed all the goals and plans I had set for myself each year and felt grateful for how many of them I had achieved. However, I noticed that some dreams and wishes remained unchecked on the list. I realized that while I made plans each year, I had not taken any real action towards achieving them. I began to reflect on why that was, and one goal that stood out to me was my desire to write something every day. I recognized that I had started writing a few times, but I always seemed to stop after a few paragraphs or a day. I realized that I needed some help to get started and started searching for someone who writes regularly to get tips and advice. Then, I decided to reach out and request for a meeting with the blogger whose writing I liked and sought some ideas from him. The meeting turned out great and the blogger shared some handy tips and advice, h...

Count blessings and be thankful

Change is an integral part of our lives, both professionally and personally. It's important to remember that ups and downs are a natural part of life, and it's up to us how we choose to react and manage difficult situations. We often consider happiness, success, and prosperity to be blessings, while negative consequences make us unhappy. However, it's important to remember that a life full of joy is impossible, and it's unrealistic to expect that everything will always go smoothly. The most important thing is how we choose to focus on blessings and positive experiences, rather than dwelling on negative events and expecting them to repeat themselves. By focusing on the positive and wishing for good things to come, we are more likely to attract them into our lives. It's important to make a conscious effort to remember precious moments with loved ones, to expect and wish for beautiful things to come, and to accept failures and setbacks as opportunities for growth.
