The Letter Z

Image
Zesty Always have a zest for life. Once you are zesty, only then you will be able to enjoy your each day with full of energy and get most out of what life has to offer. We must appreciate what comes our way and enjoy it to the fullest. Zesty is simply a lively quality that increases enjoyment, excitement and energy for whatever you do. Living life with a positive outlook and never losing your charm is one of the most beautiful ways to be happy.  But you also have to be serious about stuff alongwith being zesty. There must be a perfect balance between these two.  #26DaysOfLettering #Day26 #LetterZ

The Letter Y

Image
Young This personality trait must be adapted by all of us. Being young at heart is what we don't follow at all. That energy and madness of doing something (be it creative, new or normal) shall always be there. Rather than fearing the outcomes or aftermaths, one must be excited to try new things and have a thirst for knowledge. It's important to be open to new experiences and engage in activities that bring you joy as this is what keeps you young at heart.   Also, being young at heart has nothing to do with being silly and foolish. We must not become absurd at any given time.  #26DaysOfLettering #Day25 #LetterY

The Letter X

Image
Xenodochial Someone who is friendly to strangers is called a xenodochial. In today's era of technology, we are, most of the times, stuck to our mobile phones, laptop etc. We have only a little idea of who is travelling along with us, who all exactly live in our neighbourhood and other such stuff. Make it a habit that whenever you are travelling or are sitting somewhere, instead of getting indulged in the electronic gadgets try to talk to the people around you.   While trying to be a xenodochial, always know the fine line between being friendly and over friendly.  #26DaysOfLettering #Day24 #LetterX

The Letter W

Image
Welcoming One must be able to react with pleasure and open to help. Being welcoming is all about making the other person feel welcomed. The more you'll be there for someone and help them to adjust easily, the more grateful they'll feel. Greet people with a warm and soft smile as often as possible. When you welcome people around you, you create a positive aura around yourself and your positive vibes attracts people toward you. Feel good and make others feel good as well.  Though one must not invade other's dome of privacy just for the sake of being welcoming.  #26DaysOfLettering #Day23 #LetterW

The Letter V

Image
Valiant  It simply is a synonym of brave and courageous. Valiant people do feel fear, but they are able to manage and overcome their fear so that it does not stop them taking action. Being valiant is not only about knowing what it takes to stand up and speak but also knowing what it takes to sit down and listen. One must be valiant because only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. Being valiant should not at all be confused with showing muscle power or being tough or having an upper hand. #26DaysOfLettering #Day22 #LetterV

The Letter U

Image
Unique  We all are unique just like everyone else. Others may share some of our talents and abilities, but there is no one who is identical to us. It's absolutely okay to have different opinions and different perspectives. So, don't be afraid to present yourself even if you don't share the same opinion as your peers do. Dare to be your own person and disregard what others may think. Celebrate your uniqueness and be confident of who and how you are.   But you don't always have to disagree with someone just in order to be different and unique.  #26DaysofLettering #Day21 #LetterU

The Letter T

Image
Tolerant  Being tolerant means showing willingness to allow the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with. We need to understand that sometimes there are different ways in which different individuals deal with situations and that doesn't means one way is right or the other is wrong. Without tolerance and harmony the lasting peace of societies cannot be maintained and loyalty for each other can also not be established.   Though giving up to stand against someone, knowing that they are doing wrong, just to avoid disputes is not at all being tolerant.  #26DaysOfLettering #Day20 #LetterT

The Letter S

Image
Sincere Being true to our own self, our feelings, our ideas is what it all means. Not pretending, not lying, not being hypothetical about literally anything. Our sincerity improves all our relationships and allows us to know our weaknesses, which brings in room for improvement. Being sincere, in simple words, means being genuine in every sphere of your life. The more honest one is, the more trustworthy he is. But being sincere also means knowing when to give up instead of trying hard and sticking just to complete something even when knowing that it's futile.  #26DaysOfLettering #Day19 #LetterS

The Letter R

Image
Respect It's a sense of worth or personal value that we attach to someone or something. Respect basically covers three main aspects that are respecting your own self, respecting ideas and respecting other individuals. We all are in the same race yet in different ways and we must respect each other's way of dealing with situations and life.   But respecting is not as easy as it seems to be. There's always a need to maintain a balance amongst all the three aspects i.e. One shouldn't compromise one aspect of respect for the other aspect.  #26DaysOfLettering #Day18 #LetterR

The Letter Q

Image
Quirky  Being quirky simply means being unusual in an attractive, interesting and appealing way. In other words, quirky is strange/not normal but cool. Any person who is weird but in a good way, is indeed quirky. So, just be out there expressing your ideas and thoughts, even if they may seem odd to others, even if people may perceive you strange; don't give up. Be quirky. But being quirky is not only about being unusual but also about finding something totally new and making a valid point at the same time.  #26DaysOfLettering #Day17 #LetterQ

The Letter P

Image
Patience  Patience is all it takes to reach to your goal without giving up in between. We very soon get irritated and feel lost when something goes just even a little bit different of how we wanted it to be. We must understand that no matter what, if we have the strength to work hard and that too with patience, there's nothing we can't achieve. So, if an obstacle comes, be patient and overcome it without compromising your ultimate goal.  But showing patience is not about just sitting and enjoying whatever happens, it's about being confident enough to reach your destination.  #26DaysOfLettering #Day16 #LetterP

The Letter O

Image
Open There is no reiteration of the fact that until and unless you are open to both appreciation as well as depriciation, you can't make a positive growth in your life. Everyone loves praises but he who truly takes the criticism also in the same manner, is the one who is ultimately going to win. Hence, one should be open to both positive as well as negative comments, reviews and suggestions.  Being open shouldn't be confused with letting any random person demotivate you, make you feel less confident or make you question yourself.  #26DaysOfLettering #Day15 #LetterO

The Letter N

Image
Natural Don't ever try to be someone that you actually are not. Your abilities, your likings dislikings, your principles is what defines you and makes you different from every other person out there. So just be your natural self, the way you are. The more natural you will be, the more easier it will become for you to make your own identi ty in this world as well as in people's heart, purely different and unique. Obviously, being natural must not be confused with being reluctant to adapt the good things that you may learn from others. #26DaysOfLettering #Day14 #LetterN

The Letter M

Image
Mannerly The truth is that we neglect manners at our own peril. Far from being superfluous to morality, manners are indispensable to it. But it isn’t just that manners supplement morality; they are a species of it: A connoisseur ship in manners indicates good character. Conversely, the unmannerly reveal weak character. Though being mannerly doesn't mean not standing up for what is right just because of showing courtesy and respect.  #26DaysOfLettering #Day13 #LetterM

The Letter L

Image
Loyal If you are faithful and devoted to someone or something, you're loyal. Someone who is loyal, is reliable and always true and loyalty is considered to be a true virtue. The fact that loyalty does not provide an immediate benefit, and indeed often hurts, is exactly why it is a virtue. Loyalty can be a key relationship shock-absorber as well. When something goes wrong, or the going gets tough, loyalty means you stick with it. But do not at all mistake it with being willing to compromise the essence of who you are and your principles for loyalty. Loyalty is a decision and the choice and actions to continue need to be conscious ones.  #26DaysOfLettering #Day12 #LetterL

The Letter K

Image
Keen Being keen is very very important for progress. If you have a keen interest in something, it means you are really, really into it. Keen is basically an adjective that describes something that is intense, sharp, or focused. And that is why we often describe a person as having a keen interest, keen observation, keen inclination etc. No matter what you do, if you aren't keenly into it, there's no use of doing it at all.   But one must be very clear about the fact that being keen is not an easy task, one needs to be patient and calm enough! #26DaysOfLettering #Day11 #LetterK

The Letter J

Image
Jaunty  This is the word for being able to express yourself in a lively, cheerful and self confident manner. The major factor where we lack today is expressing ourself to others. And we must understand that until and unless we won't express ourselves confidently, people are going to underestimate us and might even not take us seriously. So just forget about the aftermath and express yourself as lively and confidently as you can. Also, be the smile and the confidence that others might need to open up.  Though jaunty does imply considering what kind of reaction should be given to a certain situation and then expressing your thoughts and opinions.  #26DaysOfLettering #Day10 #LetterJ

The Letter I

Image
Inventive  Being inventive simply means having the ability to create or design new things or to think originally i.e. to be inventive is to be creative and original. People who copy others aren't inventive, because they're not being original. When people are being inventive, new ideas flow. No matter how silly your idea may seem to you, don't discard it until you have actually worked according to it. If you succeed, very good and if you fail then atleast you will get to know what modifications your idea needs.   Being inventive doesn't refer to thinking out of the box, it only means to show creativity with original thoughts.  #26DaysOfLettering #Day9 #LetterI

The Letter H

Image
Hopeful Life is unpredictable, hard and quite notorious at times. Things go out of hand and beyond of our control many times. No doubt life is a solid war zone but it's not too bad either. I know it's very hard keeping up with the inner faith during the most critical times, but, those who are always hopeful actually make it till the end. Our mind has lots of effects on our actions. If your mind tells you to stay strong on a path and not to loose courage, you will do so. But being hopeful doesn't mean sitting idle and hoping things to be good rather it means putting your best foot forward and hoping for the best. #26DaysOfLettering #Day8 #LetterH

The Letter G

Image
Gracious Grace is a golden link that binds us to others and it applies to all our relationships. Being gracious costs nothing and it buys us a lot of goodwill. It also means knowing the difference between disagreeing and being disagreeable. Also, everyone is entitled to be treated with courtesy. The true mark of a gentleman is how he treats someone who can be of absolutely no use to them. And remember there is a lot of difference between being gracious and being a sweet bee. #26DaysOfLettering #Day7 #LetterF

The Letter F

Image
Fantasize Okay, so some people might not agree with this but I strongly believe that fantasizing is a positive trait. Though this is related to imagination and day dreaming but of the good stuff. So, when you indulge in dreaming about something good you actually motivate yourself to do stuff so as to turn that into reality and actually live it. Most of the times our goals are related to or born by the things that fantasize us. But fantasizing is good only when it inspires to achieve that in real life. #26DaysOfLettering #Day6 #LetterF

The Letter E

Image
Empathy It simply means to share and understand the feelings of another. We need to understand that no two people are in the same shoes hence the struggles and success of every individual is different. So we need to respect and understand the decisions taken by other people and also try to share the way they feel. We have to be there for someone to listen to them just the way we want someone to be there for us with whom we can share our feelings and thoughts with no cover at all. Though we must make sure that along with being empathetic to others, we must be empathetic to our own selves as well. #26DaysOfLettering #Day5 #Letter E
