27 Days To www.TheLifesWay.com 5th Birthday Celebrations #5YearsofTheLifesWay #27Dec2017 #Dreams

Hi Friends,

#Dreams

The Life's Way is going to celebrate its 5th birthday in 27 days now and the best thing that has happened is the launch of Anytime Anywhere Magazine South Africa Print Edition on 29th November and it features 2 articles written by me. Minimalism in Digital World and Margate: A Nostalgic Journey. It's my first experience and I am looking forward to all the comments/tips and tricks of the trade. Here are the links to the online magazine.

Another story from my life belongs to the part where I always had a dream to drive an SUV for more than 2500 kilometers. It happened in India when we planned to travel to Allahabad for a friend's wedding from New Delhi on a road trip of 700 kilometers in Tata Safari. Tata Safari used to be the most sought-after vehicle in the SUV category because of its huge legroom and boot space along with a comfortable ride. As we started picking up friends in the evening, we planned a stopover after 200 kilometers for the night at her house. During that time we laughed, enjoyed and loved the journey all the way to Mathura. On reaching her house, we were served with the best food and comfortable night stay. But alas! as morning happened, I received a call from my wife that my daughter who was still 3 months old at that time was not well. She told me to come back immediately as we need to take her to doctor. I could not continue my journey any further and I had to return by roadways bus back to Gurgaon.

But another chance to fulfill this dream came in London when we planned a trip to Scotland during one of the Easter holidays and we planned a road trip of more than 2500 kilometers along with 4 friends. It involved visiting several places and booking accommodation at all those locations. We booked a category B car for the trip so that it's comfortable and can carry our luggage for the whole trip. When we reach Enterprise Car to pick up the car for the next morning ride to Lake District, to our surprise the guy gave us an automatic Chevrolet Captiva LT. It was awesome and took me some time to get adjusted to the automatic gear-box. As it was my first time, it gave me a hard time to find out how to open the petrol tank? It was so funny as I went through the manuals and took some 10-15 minutes standing in front of the petrol pump.

I started driving that night at 230am and continued to drive till 1100 pm in the night covering 1200 kilometers from London to the Isle of Skye via Lake District in a single day. It was an awesome trip and I felt very happy to be fulfilling my dream to drive an SUV for more than 2500 kilometers. Thank You, Universe! We always have a lot of small and big dreams and we shall always try to fulfill them sooner or later. Also, we need to keep making new dreams all the time as that gives us Hope to carry on and work towards them! 

Cheers!!!

28 Days To www.TheLifesWay.com 5th Birthday Celebrations #5YearsofTheLifesWay #27Dec2017 #Perseverance

Hi Friends, 

#Perseverance Part 2

Nobody believed my luck that day as I called my friend who was with me and also that day I had my house owner's daughter's birthday party so I returned immediately after getting the Sony Handycam from UEFA executives. As I was sitting in Jubilee Line to go to Wembley Park, I was all smiles as I always wanted a Handycam and thought that now I can make awesome videos from the same. London really fulfilled many of my small and big dreams and I simply love and adore this city!

Coming back to Perseverance, as it was London Summer time the sun used to set very late in the evenings and UEFA stalls used to get closed around 630-700pm. I used to leave office around 530 and reach Hyde Park to participate in the online contest at the stalls. I did it continuously on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and right on Thursday afternoon, I got another call from UEFA that I have won 2 tickets to the Finals between Manchester United and Football Club Barcelona. Again, I was overjoyed and collected the tickets in the evening that day. I couldn't believe my luck and it was awesome to win the prestigious tickets to the Finals of Champions League Trophy. 

Perseverance is what kept me going on my blog www.thelifesway.com as I continue to face discrimination despite creating content which is above average and giving ROI to brands much more than they deserve too for free. I have used my channels to promote a lot of brands from whom I have never got anything in return. As I celebrate my 5th anniversary of the #TheLifesWay I won't work for brands those who are not invested in me unless it's their first or second post with me. I also have family and also need time and money to work on myself and all these social media handles so there has to be a reward for the same.

Another story of perseverance in my life is all the facebook contests where there is some app and you need to play certain levels to win once you clear all the levels. Similarly, an Indian gaming website once had a campaign where you can redeem the points collected by playing their mini-games for a Hand Blender. I had heard earlier from my mom how much she desired the hand-blender so I thought it to be the right opportunity to work out the plan to reach that levels of points and earn the hand-blender for my mom. I worked for continuous 10 days playing a lot of games each evening after office hours at home till the time my eyes automatically used to shut down. I reached the level and ordered the hand-blender without the knowledge of my mom and took the delivery of the same in my office and then when I traveled back to my mom's place 275 kilometers far and gifted her the same she was so happy. I thought that my perseverance has paid off big time that day. 

Once I have set my mind to achieve something no one can change the same until I get that thing. I have that in me but it doesn't mean I have not struggled in my life. My life has always been a Life of Pi because I was born on 22 July so numerically its 22/7 which is a Pi value. The Life's Way is my love and passion which gives me smiles all the time I look at and some unfulfilled expectations which I am working towards on a daily basis.
