Home Actress Richa Gangopadhyay HD Photos and Wallpapers August 2020 Richa Gangopadhyay Instagram - Society puts so much pressure on us to accomplish and achieve a certain number of things by a certain age or “stage” in life. To have everything figured out well before we are in our 30s. To have this credential, that degree, this job, that salary.⁣ ⁣ We let all the “should haves” dictate what we are meant to do at any given time. We invariably compare ourselves to others in our age groups or fields and allow someone else’s success to get into our heads and get us down because maybe we haven’t made as much money, had as big of an impact or have as many followers as So-and-so. ⁣ ⁣ But here’s the thing. Everyone is at a different part of their journey than you are on yours. Comparison is the thief of joy. Instead of comparing yourself to a friend or family member who has “done so much”, use that as a source of inspiration. Uplift those who earned their success. Criticizing and badmouthing is the most negative and unproductive way to go about anything. Let it empower you to find your calling, and then do the work to go after it. And remember that elevating someone else doesn’t take away from what YOU have to offer the world.⁣ ⁣ Self discovery is a journey. Purpose is not found under a rock. You evolve, which means it’s OKAY to let your dreams and goals evolve too.✨⁣ ⁣ Living life according to my terms has worked out for me pretty well so far- through the ups and downs, successes and failures. Remember that you don’t need anyone else’s validation.⁣ ⁣ Forget the “shoulds”. Don’t let someone else decide how you should live YOUR life. You’re not “behind” in life. There’s no timeline we all must follow. 7 billion people can’t do everything in the same order. It’s YOUR life, YOUR schedule and everything is right on time.

Richa Gangopadhyay Instagram – It’s been really hard to wake up with a peaceful mind as of late. If you’re like me, the first thing you do when you wake up is scroll through all your social media apps. Social media is a wonderful way of connecting with others, share your voice on larger scale and learn from those that inspire you. ⁣
⁣
But these days, at least here in the US, the combination of the hostile political climate as elections near, combined with living through a pandemic and dealing with the constant debate on what’s best for us makes it hard to brush off how incredibly polarizing it can become.⁣
⁣
That’s why sometimes it’s best to take a breath and assess whether you are using it to spread love and enlightenment in a positive way, or using it to excessively vent your frustrations or mock others who may not share the same views as you. Social media consumes us whole and that’s what it’s designed to do, but it’s up to us HOW we use it. There is always a way to use it respectfully, instead of showing outward disgust towards others and making it personal. ⁣
⁣
So my lesson to myself for the day is to be more mindful and practice what I preach when it comes to the expectation I have of others in my social circle and community to be open minded and respectful. I will always be utmost authentic with everything I share, and today I reflected on how I can better myself. We can teach and share in more productive ways than resort to criticizing. It’s okay to realize when you slip up, and course correct. ⁣
⁣
This continues to be a rough year for all of us, wherever you are. That’s had an impact on our thoughts, behaviors and drained every last ounce of our spirits as we long for carefree socializing moments with our friends. Safety is a priority for us, but we miss our families and friends dearly! ⁣
⁣
So don’t beat yourself up if you were rude to someone inadvertently and felt terrible later. Or someone told you that you have room for improvement. Take criticism constructively, forgive yourself and just focus on being a better you the next day. And that’s my journal entry for the day 😉⁣

Richa Gangopadhyay Instagram – I received a couple of responses from Lululemon regarding acknowledging the inappropriate use of the word “Namaste” on their underwear products. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
While recognizing the mistake is a good first step, we hope they actually implement the change and walk the walk, sooner than later.
 
Large companies like this need to work on upping their diversity efforts from within. 
⁣⁣⁣
As @vaani.kc pointed out (where I learned about this first), the fact that not a single person thought there was a problem through multiple stages of review-through creation, design, marketing or sales- is a clear indication that the wider issue that needs to be addressed is the lack of diversity. It really shouldn’t be up to the general public to expend their energy to call out such things to protect their cultural identities. It would save a lot of time and energy if employees at these companies recognized cultural appropriation and offensive use of foreign words to stop such things from happening in its tracks in the initial stages. ⁣⁣This goes for all cultures as well, not just my own.⁣
⁣⁣⁣
****************************⁣⁣
@lululemon , thank you for taking the first step by acknowledging your oversight. I, along with 1.3 billion other Indians, would appreciate your prompt response through your actions. Going forward, we expect you to thoroughly research the history and significance of words and ideas borrowed from other cultures before labeling your products. We need to be prioritizing people’s feelings and respecting cultural sensitivities, not just think about what might be considered “trendy”. Thank you.
