Understood...✅

Just like everyone, I have been spending this closed-borders-summertime by watching dramas, reading books, listening lectures...aka exposing myself to new perspectives. Here's a short list of some randomly compiled ideas worth reflecting on (of course according to me)! 

• We have/keep relationships because we need them. But it’s worth pondering that how many of our relations actually know of our needs?
• Want to know someone, let them talk and you actively listen!
• To genuinely respect someone also includes to respect their personal space, which allows them to have secrets. So rather than being interrogative, show enough respect and care that they could simply trust you and open up. 
• My two favorite characters are well-proclaimed sociopath geniuses—Sherlock Holmes (from Sherlock BBC-series) and Ko Moon-young (from It's Okay To Not Be Okay). Why?
• If you want the other person to act in a certain way then in place of highlighting your need and requirements, focus on what’s in it for them; showcase their gain/s and merge it with your need/s.
• Problems change but chaos persists to maintain the natural flow of our existence.
• Thought is a physical process as it leads to entropy and that’s what universe favors!
• Best dispute prevention strategy is to humbly accept your mistake and apologize.
• When placed in an uncomfortable situation or with request, don’t brush it under the rug; instead confront it head on to avoid its future recurrence.
• Whenever encountering any known-unknowns it is better to have your best alternatives handy. 
• Anyone being benefited from your dispute would most likely want it to never end...to simply ensure their personal gains. 
• WRONG: Whatever others think about me got nothing to do me, it’s just the way their brains are wired. RIGHT: What others think about me is quite personal, especially if it involves continuous interaction. Because the way they think will determine the way I’ll be treated by them. And others' treatment and behavior towards me (good/bad) is quite personal!
• We are stardust—sacks of particles governed by the laws of physics; who miraculously happen to be alive, able to think and act, got emotional intelligence, able to develop and elaborate on the intricate web of communications; all this is simply awesome and extraordinary. SubhanAllah

So until next time, 

Keep seeing things differently!
