It was perhaps this quote which drew me about learning more about Vivekananda and I can recall so many of my childhood memories, dreams and passions shaped around this.

Swami Vivekananda’s words for me were more than mere words - they still fill me with fire, passion and somehow feel like I am being kicked out of my bed to respect the inner self. The quote speaks to me in so many levels. In this particular instance, the article is about elevating ourselves to the higher standards. The perspective I would like to present is to grow beyond our limitations, limiting beliefs, thoughts and even shortcomings to become the person who is worthy of a goal.

Sometimes these dreams might be hiding in the fear of people laughing at them or not becoming true. Unless, we give it a try, there's no way these dreams can come true right?

Stress management is about managing your emotional health, mental peace and performing without being overwhelmed. The two are connected because sometimes when things don't go as per time, missed deadlines have an impact. These potential impacts immediately cause stress making us think about the ramifications of not doing things on time.
