About Positive Provocations:

This Blog This Space is For YOUR Help & Healing
I welcome YOU to your first step towards a Happy & Positive Life!

In my journey through life and all its adventures, I have learned two important facts and they are LOVING CARE & POSITIVITY.

I have realized that with loving care and just enough positivity in thoughts and actions everything can be achieved, not only personally but professionally as well.

Going each day one day at a time is the way i feel we should live. Think of the present time as a true PRESENT. And enjoy life to its fullest potential possible, while on the way learning to  be a better human{e} being and growing spiritually as well.

I want this blog to be a safe haven for you to come and explore your thoughts, your feelings, your growth, your life. A place where you feel safe to share, to care and to tap into those parts of yourself you didn’t even know you could experience.

In my strive to make this blog better for you the readers, I keep adding to the content, to the topics as I see fit. But, you as the reader have all the power. I want you to let me know what you want to see more often here on Positive Provocations. Feel free to make suggestions for topics I can write about, for questions you need answers for.

Together we can make such beautiful positive additions to our lives.

  1. Thank you for today’s comment on napple notes. I came to see if you had an email button, like the one on my profile page, but your pages look so different from Blogger, that I’m lost!
    Still, a comment box lets me say Hi!, at least. 🙂

    Hi,

    This is an Excellent blog! Its amazing to see some one as a wife to her “Best Friend” 🙂

    This is really an excellent blog. I am touched with the power of mind, prayers and soul. Its just like, the sun is so far away, yet we feel its heat & warmth, and the soft light falling upon us. Who says, the sun is far away, the moment your eyes link to the sunlight, it gives you the power to see and feel. It felt like a connection of positive energy as photons of love reaching you with the healing power and protection.

    I believe, souls like that of Zeenat’s have a destiny. A destiny designed and gifted by the creator only to a handful. May God bless her with great indefinite bounties of health, happiness, and success always.

    “Simple is always the best, but the best may not always be simple”.

    One of my favourite sayings is,.
    SUCCESS depends upon the terms in which it is measured,.
    another is If you dont try U cant fail,..
    For me happiness is many things,. from good freinds to all mother nature reveals to us,..
    To enjoy every moment,.. and be thankfull and honour it,s preciousness,..
    Knowing I AM NOT ALONE,.. that there is a certain union,.. that miraculously one CAN FEEL,.. across the universe,.. like meeting someone such as yourself,.. as distant as we are,. and yet we can share,. a universal oneness,…I remind myself of this whenever I feel sad,.. and acknowledge that I am truly blessed,..

  26. Zeenat,

    I believe that Presence led me to your site today and I am so blessed! About two months ago I embarked on a big shift in my spirituality to that of non-duality, learning to live in the Now, and of becoming a “watcher” of my mind. This transformation is not without some struggles and challenges as I am becoming “undone”.

    At times have felt lonely in this process as I don’t have anyone in my family or friends that I can discuss this with or learn from in this area. So far I have only had time to read a few portions of your site, but I can tell already that the thoughts you share will be a big help to me on my journey. I’ve subscribed to your newsletter and look forward to reading more of your posts. Thank you for sharing your life lessons and for being a “soul sister”.
