Forever

Forever is a hard game to play.

‘Forever’ means infinite, endless, limitless or boundless. It suggests an indefinite period of time.

Forever is in everything …from relationships to career, personality and life itself. Achieving and maintaining ‘forever’ is a challenge. 

Patience, genuineness, loyalty and commitment in any relationship can make it challenging.

Achieving professional milestones requires consistent hard work, adherence to ethics, dedication and focus overs years and decades

The most challenging is working on personal growth and personality. It is not a one-time affair and is an eternal process. One has to challenge oneself, move out of ones comfort zone, be open to change and move with dynamic times.

‘Forever’ implies long term sustaining without no end in foresight. The intensity and consistency in every situation for infinite period is what makes ‘forever’ a hard game to play, but there is chance ‘forever’ to be better at everything – life itself. We have the whole lifetime to be better, happier, prosperous and the best version of ourselves. Here’s to an enriching life everyday forever!
