Lockdown #4: Holding Onto Anger

Life is truly just far too short to get hung up on things we cannot control. - Diksha 2020

HOLDING ONTO ANGER IS LIKE DRINKING POISON - well these times are crazy and calmness has left the body and brain. Yes, I realize that anger is a natural emotion that we can’t always control feeling but we certainly have the power to CHOOSE how we are going to respond to that anger. If we scream, holler, stomp our feet and throw a good old fashioned temper tantrum (and make sure we tell everyone on Twitter) what are we gonna solve besides dragging everyone else down with us? Is that fair? Yes, I also realize that you have the right to be angry and I don’t have a clue what you are going through, nor can I understand without experiencing it myself.

I could share 23 years of reasons to holler and tell the world that life isn’t fair, but what the heck is the point? Will it change anything at all? I don't think so. What if we decided to try something new? What if we DECIDED to use our anger to power positive changes in our lives or the people around us?

What if every time we got boiling mad we decided to challenge ourselves to bring a complete stranger a smile and kept doing it until we were smiling too?

I will probably still wake up a creature of habit tomorrow, but I think maybe I will focus on trying more new things now.

Hero Impulse and Rejuvenated Love For Adventure Motorcycles

Motorcycles have always been a symbol of freedom, power, and adventure. Riding a motorcycle is an experience like no other, and it is no wonder that so many people have a profound love for them. Recently, I have found myself falling in love with motorcycles, especially my new old Hero Impulse. I had always admired that Bike from afar, but I never thought I would own one myself. However, after some research and careful consideration, I decided to take the plunge and buy an old Hero Impulse. At first, I was nervous about riding my new motorcycle. I had to learn how to balance, shift gears, and brake properly. But with practice, I began to feel more comfortable and confident on the road. Riding my motorcycle became an escape from the stresses of everyday life, and I began to look forward to every ride. One of the things I love about my Hero Impulse is how versatile it is. It's great for commuting to work, but it's also capable of tackling off-road trails. It's a small bike, so

No matter how much we want to control our Life we can't always know what is going to happen. The Change is scary and Life will always surprise you with "Oh, this is your new truth Live It !" you cannot do anything you have to accept that.

Oppie Review

J. Robert Oppenheimer was a renowned physicist and scientific leader, often referred to as the "father of the atomic bomb" for his crucial role in the Manhattan Project during World War II. So, Back on Wednesday I watched Christopher Nolan's massive new movie Oppenheimer which I was also waiting for a Longtime as I am an avid World War 2 history consumer, even though we watched on IMAX but only bad thing was that we were on the Front Seats, Movie definitely got us hooked... Now about the movie it is just... wow I don't think I have ever felt like this watching a movie. Its like a blend of being sad but also scared, I read that Christopher Nolan said it kind of had themes of horror, and watching the movie I know what he meant, Very few movies can make you feel quite like this one can. The cast is also AMAZING with Cilian Murphy delivering the performance of his career as Oppenheimer, essentially becoming him, and pretty much securing himself an Oscar nomination for be
