25.01.2022 Today is World Gratitude Day. It is also the International Day of Peace. What a harmonic convergence of goodness. It seems only so fitting that both these occasions would make their home on the same spot on our calendar each year. In ways not immediately apparent, gratitude and peace fit together seamlessly. Clearly, peace gives rise to gratitude. Living gratefully helps us to know and create peace from the inside out. We focus on cultivating emotional, physical and mental s...tates that embody peace, and we become better peacemakers. When we are grateful, we also become more of what the world needs in order to be trustworthy peace-keepers. Gratefulness makes us aware that life is a gift, and that treasuring and protecting this gift is paramount. It also engenders love, compassion, and respect. When we are grateful, less is more to us; we are more content and experience sufficiency more readily. It is the perfect opportunity to remind yourself to step back and think about what you are thankful for. #SimplyPrerna #Grateful #Blessed #worldgratitudeday #worldgratitudeday2020 #attitudeofgratitude #gratefuleveryday

22.01.2022 Remembering the great Mahatma Gandhi (Also fondly called Bapu) on his 151st birth anniversary. His resilience, compassion and call for unity is particularly relevant and inspirational this year as the world recovers from an unprecedented challenge. His values of truth and non-violence, swachchta and personal hygiene are even more relevant today. He continues to remain a source of inspiration for all humanity. There is so much to learn from his life and noble thoughts. ... On this Gandhi Jayanti (birth anniversary) let us pledge to bring a bit of more Bapu in our lives. If we do that the world will become a much better place. #simplyprerna #mahatmagandhi #bapu151birthanniversary #bapu

18.01.2022 Wishing a very ‘Happy Raksha Bandhan’ to the sisters who annoys me the most yet the ones who I love the most.

Blessed to have my family with me during this time; who love and care for each other unconditionally. ... Happy Rakhri to all Love & Gratitude #SimplyPrerna #rakshabandhan2020 #blessedbeyondmeasure

16.01.2022 This day, every year, people talk of the importance of peace, but not much is being done to achieve it. Conflict, whether it is internal, or among people or between nations, has become a constant state of affair. International Day of Peace is observed every year on September 21. It is a United Nations-designated day, established in 1981. All that the world needs is peace and harmony. The theme for the International Day of Peace this year is "Shaping Peace Together." The bar...riers to peace are complex and steep -- no one country can solve them alone. We must all renew our commitment to global solidarity. To sustain peace, we must build it every day, in every society, with every woman and man, by working together towards a better common future for all. Celebrate this International Day of Peace by reminding yourself how valuable peace is and by figuring out how you might go about finding it for yourself (and subsequently, others in the world around you). Let’s celebrate the day by spreading compassion, kindness and hope in the face of the (COVID-19) pandemic." The pandemic has emerged as a common enemy of the world today. I am Peace #InternationalDayOfPeace #simplyprerna

05.01.2022 Guru is truly the representative of Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. He creates, sustains knowledge and destroys the weeds of ignorance. ... And the true Guru said ‘I have no Kingdom. I own nothing. You cannot find me, except by searching deep within yourself. For I do not exist anywhere. But am everywhere. On the occasion of Guru Purnima I bow down to all my Gurus who shaped me and gave me a clear direction without which I would have been lost with no knowledge and purpose!

03.01.2022 To make life a little better for people less fortunate than you. That's what I think a meaningful life is. One lives not just for oneself, but for one's community." Hear some of the most memorable words from Ruth Bader Ginsburg's speeches over the years which I resonate with. The life and legacy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who made a career out of gender equity in law before serving on the U.S. Supreme Court for 27 years. She was a true patriot who loved her country and... dedicated her life to serving the American people and the law. Rest In Peace Justice #ruthbaderginsburg #simplyprerna #inspirationtomany #womeninspiringwomen
