➸ Be Patient. Great things take time.

I never understood the concept on patience.
They brought me up, telling me patience was a virtue, but never telling me why. 
So today we are going to unravel that mystery and understand how powerful patience is.

I was was folding a swan out of origami with my sister one day, and me being me, I took it as a competition and I quickly made a swan out of the origami in just 2 minutes. Seeing that my sister was not yet done, I sat down beside her, looking at how she was making her swan. I eventually got bored and decided to take a nap. When I woke up, my sister enthusiastically came running towards me with her paper swan in her hand, and to be honest, it looked much more majestic than my floppy swan. I went to my mom sobbing and asked her why I couldn't make such a pretty swan. Then she told me something I will never forget. She said, "You have to be patient while working with origami. Some Things Take Time." But then, I never understood what she meant, I was only 6. 

Some Things Take Time
I like to think it should be 'Great things' instead of 'Some things'. 
We have all heard the common saying "Rome wasn't built in a day". Rome took approximately 1,010,450 days to build. That's a long time.

We all have goals we are chasing in life, and usually we seize every small opportunity we see and rush through them just to be closer to completing our goal. Slow Down! Whatever you are chasing will come around and catch you, the universe promises!

    They say Patience is not a mere virtue but a mother of virtue. That's how important it is. Anything done in haste nay even a hasty reaction is likely to have adverse effects and put you in a spot. Well said, Perfection can be achieved only if you have patience. They also say "Marry in haste, repent at leisure.

Unity...It starts with YOU!

"Unity... it starts with YOU, ends with WE and brings SUCCESS."  ~Annanya Desai    If we all remain united, we will not be defeated. Even when everyone on planet Earth is going through difficult times, it makes the situation look much better when we realize that we are all going through it.... together, to realize that everyone understands and is there for you. We all know the story of a farmer and his quarrelling sons. The sons could each easily break a single stick, but when several were made into a bunch neither of them could break it. The sons then recognised the value of unity and gave up their quarells. We understand from this that peace and success come from from overcoming our differences. If together we are unable to do so we will all 'fall', only to learn our lesson and get back up together. Unity is strength...and if we all no matter our race, gender, ethnicity, etc.. come together and work towards a common purpose we are more likely to succeed. During thes...

Dance and how it moulds me.

 I have been dancing since I was only 3 years old, me now being 11 have been dancing all my life.  Ever since I started going to my dance class, I feel like I find myself and connect with me through dance. It is my safe place, whenever I am sad, frustrated, mad or even happy I go dance. Dancing helps me feel better, it helps me be better. Whenever I dance I feel like i know who i am, i feel like I am not lost anymore, I feel like I am at home. Dancing makes me smile during the darkest days and let's me enjoy the days when the sun is up and bright. I do ballet, but am very fond of other dance styles, like hip hop, contemporary and many more.   Recently I went to a national dance competition, where me and my fellow dancers won the first and second place. I know I will get more opportunities and I am forever ready to take them on.
