Hakuna Matataaa

Hakunaaa Matataaaa...

Two crazy friends - Timon and Pumba

A bindaas motto - Hakuna Matata

Put them together and brew it for an amazing ride through life's toughest times.

Long, long ago, Disney brought these characters to life through drawings (yes, these were hand drawings, way back in 1988, when the idea was formed, although the movie, Lion King, released in 1994). And if there is one thing that instantly relates to these guys, its Hakuna Matata.!

After more than two decades, the song still resonates, fresh, in our memories. Its catchy, refreshing and simple. More importantly, it gives out a very strong message, not just for children, but for everyone, in whatever phase of life they are.

In essence, the phrase says "No Problems", when translated literally from Swahili.  It is formed by the words hakuna (there is not) and matata (problems) and its meaning is akin to "don't worry, be happy".

Worrying, of any kind does not bring us any benefit, at all.

It rather drains us off all the zest and leaves our minds crippled.

On the other hand, if we chose to keep calm, our minds garner the resources to brew up a panacea.

It is up to us to comprehend the cosmic nature of this philosophy and resolve to put to use its capabilities. The day we decide to stop worrying and start thinking is the day our problems begin to fade from existence.

And the best time is NOW.

So, cut the crass, and lets Hakuna Matata... for the rest of our days...

Lessons from The Lion King

The Lion King is one movie that never fails to Inspire... I've watched this movie over and over again and it never fails to astound. What is specially noteworthy about this movie is that there are subtle, but powerful, messages in the movie that can be applied to our daily lives.

Thoughts that are as powerful as they are simple...

Hakuna Matata “It means no worries for the rest of your days. It’s a problem-free philosophy.”

This is one line that rings a bell. Every. Single. Time... 

You cannot control the things around you, the people and their reactions. So stop worrying about the things you cannot change, because they are not in your hands… And the things that you can change, because they are in your hands!

Live life problem-free. No Worries..!

Put your past behind you “Bad things happen, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Yes. This is one thing we must all learn to do. The past is in the past. Nothing can be done about it. Get up... Move to the future…

Like it’s said “Shit Happens. Flush it! You aren't getting anywhere sitting on the Bowl!”

Be Brave “Being brave doesn't mean Looking for trouble.”

You don’t have to look for trouble. It just means that you have the strength to be yourself and stand up for things that matter to you.

It doesn't mean you are not afraid. It means that your courage is bigger than your fears.

Learn from your Past “Yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, is that you can either run from it, or learn from it.”

Running away does not solve the problem. Neither does ignoring.

It is important that we face what has happened and learn from it. Rafiki put it straight into Simba’s head … With a whack…

Learn from your past, apply in the present and improvise in future.

Be your True Self “Remember who you are.”

Situations and people lead us to believe that we are incapable of almost everything that we wish to do. The truth is, those people either did not have the guts to try something or they failed and never got back.

What we need to remember is that there is potential within that can open up endless possibilities.

Strive to be different. Stand Up. Stand Apart.

Remember that you are Worth It. Go ahead and grab what is truly yours.

Live to your true potential “look inside yourself. You are more than what you have become.”

There is power within that is stronger than anything external. Recognize and acknowledge that power. Nurture it.

There is more to life than the daily grind. What the mind can conceive, it has the power to achieve.

Push yourself, go out and get it done!

Life is……“Life is not fair, is it?”

Okay. How many times have we heard that life is not fair?

On an average, it would be once every day. That is about 365 times a year... Which means an average 25 year old would have heard it a  whooping 9130 times.!!!!!!!

Funny, isn't it? How we blame “Life” for everything that is wrong? Fate, Destiny, Kismet, Karma…. There is endless jargon used to emphasize this fact! Truth is, Life favors those who are ready to take risks, move out of their comfort zone and get something done.

Life happens to everyone. It’s up to each one of us to design it the way we like it.

So Let's Hakuna Matata 
                           And Live life King Size.!!
