Harness positive life within you

Last Sunday I opened the newspaper to find a death of a young couple and the entire week something or the other have been always like this in the newspapers. The truth is, at times, when we step out of our house we are unsure what’s going to happen next. The fear of unknown things creeps inside our mind, we start feeling unsafe, will something bad happen to me and worse is how do I live with positivity when the world around me so much negative.
You think this is something you live with it every day right? But have you wondered the impact it has on your life. Your power to think something positive fades away, the power to achieve your dreams gets limited. Why? Because when you start thinking about your dream you associate it with the failures and instances of something bad that has happened to people who had such dreams.
A real life example would be if a person likes cricket, he would hear from others, there are already so many players, why you chose cricket. He would then think I will not be able to survive in the crowd and he stops following his dream.
Then, how do we overcome this situation of negativity around us.
Talk to yourself. Yes, you read it right. When you constantly talk about your dreams and how you plan to  achieve it. No matter how bad you are in talking to yourself, your self-esteem rises. The moment you recognize this positivity, the situation around you starts changing. People start noticing your self-confidence and pat your back to cheer you up.
What are the other methods to achieve this? Vision it. Visioning is setting up a goal and visualizing that the goal is achieved, but however the goal should be realistic and in your capabilities. You shouldn’t be dreaming about something that you are not born to do, like, say cricket is not your strength, you can’t be a cricket player, even if you set up this as a dream.
Recognize your specialization, the thing that you are good at and practice towards refining it and visioning that it gets achieved.
Seems easy, right? Then why doesn’t everyone try this and get their dreams fulfilled. Here comes the twist of God and power of good work.
When you give negative vibes or negative attitude to the world, it comes back to you as well. Positivity is built up inside your heart, a part where God resides so, whatever you do your actions are noted down. If you give negative to the world, you can’t get positive vibes in return.
Positivity can be experienced when you do good and are good. In a nutshell, if you want to harness the positive life within you, do good, work towards it and vision it happening around you.

How To Train Your Wife - Satire

Hello!

I know I am pretty late with a blog post this time, but I am trying to be more active in my writings. I along with that if you might have noticed, I also changed the commenting box so that anyone of you can comment with or without any IDs. Well people who don't have any accounts can also now leave their feedback on posts. So feel free to leave out your opinions and lets have a cool interaction.

While I was scrolling through my Facebook Feed a few weeks back, I found a very interesting article written by one of my close buddies. So I just messaged her to send the that article, so that I can let it out to much bigger audience.

Below I am now upload that article 'as it is' So feel free to drop down your comments, I am pretty sure you'll have a lot of things to be shared.

~*~*~*~

A/N: This was a draft written for an Eng. Comp class I had. Information cited on this page was accurate as of November 9, 2016. I do not endorse spousal physical/mental/emotional abuse. This satire was not written to make you buckle with laughter. I am satisfied with your level of forewarning. You may proceed. ;p

How to Train Your Wife

After many revisions post 1923, the 1982 Equal Rights Amendment declared that women are equivalent to men. However, thriving marriages cannot function while wives claim equal rights. Unsuccessful unions with balanced spousal power are conveyed by the increasing rate of divorce. There must be a leader, a head of the household, someone that takes the reigns in tough situations. Patriarchy must be restored.

In the past, a woman’s role in culture was fair, practical, and uncomplicated. Sensible explanations concluded husbands governed income and the house, so a wife’s place was simply attending it and the children. Ideology shifted in the twenty-first century. However, the same crucial, undeniable facts demand acknowledgement and acceptance. Females are physically inferior, which explains why 84.7% of men compose the military and 88% of the police force nationwide. Women are not as decisive as men, raising issues when affirming her family’s needs. As it stands, with the 20% wage gap, females (especially minorities) cannot financially support a family as well as their male counterpart. Perhaps the most compelling argument is that religions, such as Catholicism, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism all support patriarchy. Scripture in Ephesians proclaims that managing the household is a God-given right and duty bestowed upon a man.

Society injects women with atrocious notions that they can accomplish anything a man can. The majority of these encouraging snakes are executive women who have no idea what labor and commitment it takes to be a real, suitable leader! Absurd morals prompt feminists to rob traditional authority from men. Modern women are less compliant and reluctant to submit themselves to their partner. These beliefs must revert lest girls run the world. I guarantee things will return to the way they were before the 1980s–when laws first began restricting a husband’s power to maintain domestic order. After all, a woman should know what trains women faster. Control and tenacity are necessary components to paving the relationship. Repentance and repetition are the two r’s of any enduring union.

To establish a prosperous marriage, transition complete sovereignty to the husband. While cementing merited supremacy, control must be assertive and unrelenting. Any man that hopes to survive in today’s world must lay down laws. Women view vulnerability as a prime opportunity to challenge every verdict. I cannot stress the utmost importance of setting the bride into line as soon as possible. It behooves new grooms to enforce two fundamental laws: Address men with honor and humility. Subservience is non-negotiable.

If she struggles with rational, remain indefatigable and resort to physical measures. Do whatever is necessary. As women are progressively pig headed, I recommend grand intimidation tactics. For optimum effectiveness, encroach the wife’s space. Tower, point, scream, and shout. Let it all out. Females are biologically programmed to cower, so once she does, a strong male mustn't capitulate and coddle. Witnessing the weaker gender frightened may be afflicting, but women are mistresses of manipulation and may initially whimper as a ploy. That is why husbands must remain tenacious during discipline.

Repentance seems counter-productive since women always instigate drama. (Sometimes they just deserve harsh, intimate retribution for outright insolence.) However, females operate complex mind games. Thus, an intelligent husband can appreciate uttering "sorry"––accompanied by chocolates and flowers (whatever ensures her interest)––automatically coaxes forgiveness towards “cruel,” corrective measures. Modern women worship men who graciously admit (false) blame and will work to be better for their faithful lover. Perhaps these gestures will inspire her to concede; she'll realize she was wrong all along.

Zig Ziglar once said, "Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.” This is particularly the case for females. These techniques require frequent reinforcement. Drill proper commandments and mannerisms into her brain for a lasting foundation. If she cannot recite them in her sleep, all this invaluable training is in peril.
Be paranoid for her safety; install cameras to capture every room just in case someone dares to corrupt her studying. Limit contact with outside parties to reduce temptation. Exercise consistent comeuppance. In no time, a tamed and tempered wife will humbly serve at her rightful place. I urge adherence to these instructions, but intensify lessons until the woman is fit.
Order will resettle in homes. Wives will have wired household laws into their brain while regarding their man with flickering, wide, revering eyes. Freely confessing guilt for every flaw, they will dutifully volunteer for appropriate punishments. In this type of healthy environment, husbands can reflect on their resolute control, their unquestionable tenacity, their repenting wife, and subtle need for repetition.

Tips for Writing a Good Book

In the previous posts I had been talking a lot about the Don'ts of book writing. Here are some Do's about the book writing.

1. The title and the story should be in sync. You cannot have a title like 'The Hardest Choice' and don't have a difficult choice anywhere in your plot. (Quite obvious but many don't follow it)

2. Try to keep the title of maximum four words. Personally I turn down those novels which have a long title like, 'I am a model undercover as a school's nerd.' It gives away quite a lot. Be creative in title. Do a bit of research over the internet and brain storm with friends for the title.

3. A Blurb should be strong enough to grab the attention. A good blurb can attract many readers similarly a bad one can drive them away. So it's quite essential to have a good, catchy and creative blurb for your book.

One of the golden rules for a good blurb is that you don't give away too much. Introduce the theme and leave it at the point where the reader feels curious to know more about your work. Also I would suggest that if your story is a conventional drama then  you should keep a creative summary. Having an opening line or a dialogue from the book definitely helps to make it better.

3. The MC(Main Charachter) should be seen from the beginning of your book i.e. from the first chapter itself. Keep in mind that there your book shouldn't start with a dialouge in the first paragraph itself. Give a bit intro to plot or something on the similar lines.

4. Out of all the books I read till now, most of them had overused character names. Please try being creative with your character names. Don't use the same old overused cliched names. You might think that they are good but honeslty they are too overused. We already have a lot of names that have an impact. So why not to use them?

5. Be consistent with your POVs. Refrain from changing them frequently. If you are a new writer, try writing in Third Person Limited. It is the easiest way to write.

6. Then there are the Casting Maniacs. Often I see the people casting unnecessary characters. Please your story is not a multi star cast movie. Casting should be of the main two characters and one or two supporting characters. There's no need of casting too many characters as they might turn out to be nightmare for you.

7. Grammar and punctuation errors should be rectified as soon as possible. This can be done by proof-reading the chapter every time. Grammar and punctuation show how much command do you have over English language. Editing can be done later on when your book is finally completed leaving no stuff behind.

8.  Over describing of feelings should be avoided. Nobody is interested in three page description of how somebody is feeling. It drags the story unnecessarily and makes it a bore. Unless and until you are writing a Cancer novel, emotional drag should be avoided. Use good words to make impact, not too many words.

9. Good usage of words and vocabulary doesn't hurt. Refer to a dictionary for good words but it should not be undecipherable at the same time. Refrain from using the chatting languages and slangs.

10. Avoid mixing of languages in your book. You can surely use a few words but don't overdo of those words inside the book. choose the language you want to write your book in and stick with it.

11. No need to add the past of the supporting characters if it does not have a link to the MC or the story. Refrain writing about the past of any character in a few initial chapters.  Stick as much to the story as you can, don't go too much with the past.

13. Try to keep the chapter length to maximum 2K words if posting online. If it is getting more than 2K, divide it.

14. If you write a long author's note, it's advisable to add it at the end of the chapter so that the reader get to read the chapter first.

15. Unnecessary twists and turns just to create spice should be avoided. Every twist in the story needs to have a good reason behind it.

17. Until and unless it is a teen fiction, try to have a justification for villain's behaviour. Nobody is born a villain, try being more realistic.

18.One of the most important things is that dialogues should be as realistic as possible.

19. You should have a proper ending for a novel, even if you are planning to have a sequel of the novel.

20. Lastly, don't promote suicide, self harm, domestic violence and rape. Try to keep negativity away from your book as far as possible.

Hope it helps. Keep writing.

Tutorial - Enhance your Poetic skills

Hello guys, I am here to let out some of my thoughts and tips on writing poems. This article will help you out in writing poems in a much better way.

So well,  first let's see what poetry is?
Poetry is a form of literature. Writing a good poem is not less than creating a beautiful art. It not only has to have some quirky or intelligent rhyming qualities but also should evoke meanings in the place of a prose within the restricted amount of words. A good poem should tell a story itself with just a span of few words.

Once you have started after jotting down your ideas, now let's have a look at steps involved in writing and enhancing your lovely art of poetry.

STEP 1 - Plan what you want to write about, choose a topic. Get detailed information on the topic for example let me take a topic "life" well we know about what life is, so go ahead with the experiences in life. Think a lot and brainstorm about it. Jot down the points that you can immerse into your creation.

STEP 2 - Pen down what ever comes in your mind, let it be any way possible. Let the lines be long or the poem be long don't worry about it. Just go ahead with the flow. Just think about anything and start writing, grammar doesn't matter here just write whatever you feel is connected to the topic and the lines above or the paragraph.

Well let me give you an example

STEP 3 - Keep a dictionary handy, now check the poem how you've written it. Try to change the words like using one word with multiple meanings. Using words of that kind does give more meaning to your poetry and try making it rhyming.

STEP 4 - If you are not able to make much changes, use a dictionary and note down different words. Check the flow of your poetry and see if it flows smooth. Only copy pasting and making it rhyme won't work at all if your poem is meaningless and doesn't have a good flow. Better flow makes it more pleasing while reciting or looking through it.

Remember not all words suit your style, you just need to pick out those words which will be suiting your poetry the most.

In This way you can learn new words each day, although it depends on how frequently you write it and you can also improve your poetic skills and after a few days you will be able to do it without a dictionary.

Hope this tutorial was helpful, thanks for spending your precious time. If you like this article don't forget to share it with your friends.

Blogging 101 For Starters…or everyone, really.

Hey there! I’m Mia Zephyr – A creative & glitter-obsessed soul.
I am 23 and a full time artist from Saxony, Germany. Whenever I’m not busy creating art, I read, write, take photos, … the list is endless.
 I still like to spend my time in the most creative ways possible.
I love life and want to see & learn as much as possible. If you’d like to experience the world with me, grab a coffee and come along!

Most of us peeps roaming through the depths of the blogging world are kind of strange and needy.
Sooner or later, we all want to be adored by a loyal audience and dance through our house or apartment whenever we see that we gained a new (and therefore deeply loved) follower. I’ve heard of that rare species of bloggers who run a blog just for fun, but there’s still us: The ones who want some sort of approval.

Come on, you have to admit that nothing is better than publishing a new post, knowing that hundreds, thousands, even millions (Hey, a girl can dream, right?) read what you have to say. Oh just wait until they tell you that they actually like your gibberish. Now that’s a reason to throw a party.

In my perfect little dream world, everyone who takes a look at my blog likes it and decides to visit regularly. Sometimes they would share some of my posts, comment on them, tell others to check out “What that Mia girl has got to say”. Unfortunately, the real world is far from perfect.
If you’re like me, or one of us (aka people who take their blog seriously), I’ve got a little starter kit for you on how to start blogging and doing it right from the very beginning.

1. MAKE SURE YOU’RE EASY TO FIND AND EASY TO SHARE.
Some blog designs are easier to… let’s say, handle than others. The trick is to have a simple blog design that looks interesting by having the right details. Does that make sense?

You have to make sure that it looks professional and organized. This will help your reader to not become utterly confused.
You want to make sure that your posts are easy to share on Facebook, Twitter, etc. This will expand your audience and bring more opportunities in the long run. If one of your posts is particularly long, be brave and put it under a ‘read more’ – segment, if you can. You don’t want your blog to consist of nothing but words. Which leads me to the following…

2. DON’T DROWN THEM IN TEXT.
Have you ever been attracted to a computer screen with nothing but words on it? Yeah, didn’t think so.
Your text might be an absolute masterpiece, but only a few readers will actually take the time and dig through 800 – something words. This is why it’s important to put some pictures and / or videos in it.
By the way, please don’t use these stupid and unoriginal stock photos. You have a camera, right? A phone? Why don’t you go outside and take your own photos? You can definitely use them in your blog posts. Taking your own photos is fun and way more original than using something you found on the Google image search. If you really have to use them, give credit.

3. BE YOURSELF.
I should have put this on the very top, since it’s actually the most important thing. Choose a blogging style that represents you as a person. You can also use that strategy for your blog design. If you decide to entertain your audience with humor and sarcasm, you will have to do your best to keep them laughing and smiling whenever they look at your blog. You want them to come back, remember? Keep in mind that your reader’s friends and family will hear about your blog. (Let’s hope they will.) So if you planned to become a blogging comedian, be sure that it’s not an easy task. …If you truly are a blogging comedian, post your link down below. ;)

WHAT DID WE LEARN?
By making a few changes here and there, you will be able to attract more readers, likes, comments and probably earn some new followers. Soon enough you’ll be the one dancing through your home far more often than ever before.
