Today Yashendu, Ramona and I were talking about how people see their own body. Especially many women have big self-esteem issues about their body and Yashendu somewhere read a study that each third woman is not happy with her figure and trying to lose weight. And in many western countries the numbers of obese people is increasing more and more. But there are many people who are cheating themselves about their weight. Not everybody seems to be aware of it that they are overweight and I believe the biggest problem of all is that people always compare themselves with others.
Everybody should find his own perfect body weight. If you feel that when you are walking, you are carrying too much weight, you feel that you could do something about it. And many people start comparing themselves with others who are bigger than themselves. They see someone and think ‘He is fat, he must have 30 kilogram more than me! So I am fine!’ But they do not look at those who weigh 20 kilogram less and they do not really look at themselves. And this is why this is a very difficult topic here.
You can really insult somebody if you say something about their figure or weight because they are not comfortable with themselves. I would suggest to everybody who does not feel comfortable with their own body weight, to change something! And I do not talk about people with eating disorders, that is something else. I am talking about a healthy relation and conception of your own body. love it as it is and remember that it is always in your hand to change something! You are not helpless about this. Be happy with your body, love it and take care of it.

It's very unfortunate for some people who inherit certain genetics that they dislike. Maybe they are naturally thicker and bigger because that is what their parents are. And if they want to change their bodies, they are going against what is natural and normal for them. Ultimately, I think they can change their bodies if they want to. But I would hope they would only change their habits to a degree that is healthy and balanced... and at that point, they need to accept how they look. Weight and image are not everything in life!! Be grateful for your breath and your heart beat. Be grateful for your mind and soul. :)

If food is your love then maybe she wants to show off a little bit. :)

I welcome, not only in my home but in my life, those people who either don’t have any expectations or whose expectations I can fulfill. I want people in my life who respect my feelings and care for my happiness as well as their own happiness. I apply a filter at the entrance to my heart, too, so that I can let those in who will make me happy and whom I can make happy.

SourceYou need to have enough self-esteem to know that your time and effort is valuable. Don’t let others ignore that and don’t ignore it yourself. If others take advantage of you, it happens because you let them!
SourceWe don’t need rituals to find God and God will not be especially happy if we do rituals for him. You can find God through love and by being in love, you do the best service to him that you can.
SourceDear unmarried, Indian young people: Take the decisions of your life on your own. You need to take your responsibility for your marriage, you cannot blame your parents forever for your life.

SourceFall in love often. And not only with people, no, fall in love with a smell, fall in love with a colour, love the moment. Love the way how a person talks, love how friendly your neighbour is, love it that your body feels healthy. This will help you to live in a positive way.

SourceMaking an effort to make your loved one happy makes you happy. This is love: you want to make your beloved happy.
SourceYou will never get love by begging. You only get love when you give love. Open yourself, find love inside you and spread it.
SourceWe often live for others, trying to make them happy by being how they want us to be. We want to wear a mask of what we are not. But you cannot make everyone happy! We have had this experience hundreds of times but still we do the same again and again. Be original and who you are.
SourceThe only good reason for the wish to have a child is because you have love in your heart and you want to share it with a child. You want to give a child the happiness that you feel when you are loved and when you can love someone.
