I am super excited and need your help too

I am glad that I post regularly here. This helps me clear my mind, and any negative thoughts that build up over time.

Why I am excited 😊

I feel like I am a part of this large community where I can share my thoughts and ideas 💡

What am I doing?

Blogs and Book Writing:

I write blogs here and additionally I write books on mindfulness, repentence and related topics. I am currently writing a book titles ” Healing in Silence” I will share more details as I progress.

What else do I do?

I gave up my Job due to ongoing family and personal issues, health issues as well. However, I have not given up hope of bouncing back and reviving myself.

Following this I registered myself as a sole trader, where I could write as a freelancer and start a small business, this would be a social entrepreneur where I will donate a part of my income for good causes. My business name is Jazeez Store. Further details to come soon.

How do I plan to earn:

By writing blogs and books and other digital products.

I also do affiliate marketing where I write posts about products and upload videos on my YouTube channel “The Global Pulse by Zee”.

I coming weeks I am looking forward to introduce my own range of products. These would be Gifts sets with various themes, like gift ideas for Mindfulness, gift sets for students, teachers, nurses and so on. As I do not have means to do all of this in one go I would be starting slow.

How can you help me

Please do subscribe me here or on YouTube channel to help me grow. You can also donate to help me. This would be a big help, and to return this favor back I will endeavor to give back an appreciation gift of digital or non digital form.

Lastly, please do join in my journey to grow and make positive changes to lives of people who are struggling in some form or shape.

In today’s fast paced world 🌎 every one is going through struggles and even though the intensity of struggles might not be same for everyone their struggles and their personal outlook is unique in its own sense.

If I Opened a Shop…

If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?

Not all shops sell things.Some sell hope.Some sell change.Some sell the belief that kindness can be bought — and given away — in the same moment.If I opened a shop, it wouldn’t be just shelves and counters.It would be a beating heart wrapped in four walls,a place where each item whispered a storyand every sale became a seed of change.

I would call it “The Giving Corner.”A space where books breathe hope,where handcrafted treasures carry the touch of their makers,and where even the smallest purchaseripples out to feed a hungry soul,lift a struggling dreamer,or plant dignity where the soil was once barren.In one corner, my words would rest —poems, stories, and thoughts stitched with care,waiting for hands to hold themand hearts to carry them forward.Because to me, a shop is not a business.It’s a bridge.

A way to connect your kindness to someone else’s tomorrow.A place where buying becomes giving,and every transactionis just another way of saying,“You matter.”And if you walked out of my shop,you wouldn’t just carry a bag.You’d carry a piece of someone’s hope.

💬 Your turn: If you opened a shop, what would your walls hold — and what would it stand for?#SocialImpact #Entrepreneurship #KindnessInAction #PenByZee

Signs You Need to Change Your Roots for a Fulfilling Life

(Continuation of my earlier post: “Letting Away Your Roots to Change the Fruits”)

In life, our “roots” aren’t just where we come from — they are the thoughts we nurture, the habits we repeat, the people we surround ourselves with, and the stories we keep telling ourselves.

Sometimes, these roots feed us with strength and wisdom.
But other times, they keep us stuck in the same season, producing the same “fruits” — outcomes we no longer want.

Why We Hold On to Old Roots

Comfort Zone – The familiar feels safe, even when it limits us.

Fear of Change – Letting go means uncertainty, and uncertainty can feel risky.

Emotional Attachments – People, places, and patterns we’ve grown with feel like part of our identity.

Signs It’s Time to Change the Roots

Issues Encountered
You keep repeating the same mistakes or cycles despite wanting different results.
Your goals excite you, but your daily actions don’t align with them.
You feel drained, uninspired, or “stuck” even when everything seems fine on the surface.

How to Start Changing the Roots (Without Losing Yourself)

Self-Audit Your Garden 🌿 – Write down the influences, habits, and beliefs shaping your life right now. Identify which ones feed your growth and which ones starve it.

Prune with Purpose ✂ – Let go of one unhelpful habit, thought pattern, or commitment that no longer serves your bigger vision.

Replant with Intention 🌸 – Replace the old with something that energizes you: new skills, empowering relationships, or a mindset shift.

Water Daily 💧 – Consistency is the secret. Small, repeated actions grow new roots stronger than you think.

The truth is, you can’t grow mangoes from an apple tree.
If you want different fruits, you must be brave enough to change the roots that feed them.

So today, ask yourself:
What one root will I change so my life can bear better fruits?

What change,big or small,would you like your blog to make in the world?

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

If I could ask for one change—just one—from the words I share here, it would be this:

That we remember how deeply we need each other.

Not just in moments of crisis, not just when headlines remind us of suffering, but in the quiet, everyday spaces of life. The way a kind word softens someone’s day. The way shared stories remind us we’re not alone. The way a simple act of giving—whether food, time, or listening—can be a turning point in another person’s life.

My blog isn’t just about ideas, it’s about connection.
It’s about building a place—however small—where we remember that compassion isn’t weakness, it’s strength. That empathy isn’t a luxury, but a foundation. That when we choose to lift one another, even in the smallest of ways, we are building something far greater than ourselves.

I want this space to be a quiet rebellion against indifference.

A reminder that even when the world seems hardened, you still have the power to soften it—through your words, your presence, your care.

What if we stopped seeing people as strangers… and started seeing them as stories waiting to be heard?
What if we treated kindness not as a random act, but a conscious practice?

That is the change I hope this blog brings.

To inspire a deeper commitment to helping one another, to showing up with honesty, and to creating community where no one feels invisible

Because the truth is:
The world doesn’t change because of grand gestures.
It changes because we choose, again and again, to care.

So let this blog be a place where care lives.
Where trust is nurtured.
Where hope is kept alive not through perfection, but through the simple, sacred act of showing up—for one another.

This is Zoeb Ali – Zee, wishing you all the good luck in whatever positive, small or big you are doing in your life to improve life of your loved ones, unknown individuals and families struggling and needing your love ❤ and help and yourself. Keep reading my posts and comment,like and share so I know if my words make any difference to you. Thank you for reading my posts.

🌱 Letting Away Your Roots to Change the Fruits

Discovering Your True Worth and Cultivating a Growth Mindset

Have you ever felt trapped by your past—your upbringing, beliefs, or circumstances—and wondered if you’ll ever become the person you dream of being?

Many of us were not born with a mindset wired for success, confidence, or abundance. Instead, we inherit habits, values, and limitations from our environment, often without realizing how deeply they shape our lives.

But here’s the truth:

You are not a tree. You can move. You can change. You can grow.

🌿 The Roots That No Longer Serve You

Your “roots” may include:

  • A childhood filled with self-doubt or fear
  • Cultural beliefs that limited your ambitions
  • Trauma, poverty, or discouragement
  • Internalized messages like “You’re not good enough” or “People like us can’t do that”

These are the invisible forces that feed your fruits—your current life outcomes. If you’ve been stuck, stagnant, or unfulfilled, it may be time to look beneath the surface.

But letting go of roots doesn’t mean losing your identity. It means choosing which parts of your story still deserve a place in your future.

🍎 Changing the Fruits: Shifting Your Mindset

To change the fruits, you must nourish your tree with something new:

  • Self-worth: You were born worthy, even if life taught you otherwise.
  • Awareness: Notice what patterns are repeating in your life. Ask why.
  • Courage: Breaking generational habits is hard—but it’s brave, and it’s worth it.
  • Relearning: It’s okay if no one taught you how to succeed. You can teach yourself now.
  • Mindset: Trade “I can’t” for “What if I could?”

Changing your mindset is not pretending everything is okay. It’s reprogramming your beliefs to align with what you want to achieve.

🌟 You Don’t Have to Be Born With It to Build It

Let this be your reminder:

You don’t have to be born with confidence to become confident.
You don’t have to be raised by dreamers to become one.
You don’t have to have all the tools—just the willingness to start.

Maybe no one handed you the mindset for success.
But you, right now, have the power to choose different thoughts, to nurture different habits, to feed your soul with belief, growth, and purpose.

🧠 How to Start Shifting Your Roots

Here are some powerful steps to begin:

  1. Reflect deeply: Ask yourself, “What do I believe about myself—and where did that belief come from?”
  2. Challenge your limits: Are your limits based on fact or fear? Whose voice is still echoing in your decisions?
  3. Feed your mind with growth: Read books, listen to podcasts, or follow people who inspire the mindset you want to grow into.
  4. Take small risks: Confidence grows through experience. Try something new, fail with grace, and keep going.
  5. Affirm your worth daily: Your past doesn’t define your future. Repeat to yourself: “I am enough. I am capable. I am evolving.”

💬 Final Thoughts

Changing your life starts with changing your beliefs—and that means you might have to let go of the roots that were planted long ago. But don’t be afraid. You are not betraying your past; you are honoring your future.

Your roots got you this far. Now it’s time to choose which ones stay—and which ones you’re brave enough to let go of, so new fruit can grow.

You are not stuck.
You are not broken.
You are becoming.

So ask yourself today:
What fruits do I want in my life—and what roots am I willing to let go of to grow them?

If you enjoy reflections like these, you might find peace in my poetry — whispers shaped by silence and spirit.

The Journey Home

There’s a certain pull that comes with the idea of “home.” It’s not just a place—it’s a collection of moments, memories, and emotions, woven together like a patchwork quilt. For me, that place is my hometown in India, where narrow streets hum with life, the aroma of freshly cooked spices lingers in the air, and laughter bounces off the walls of small, vibrant homes.

I left all of it behind, chasing opportunities in a distant, developed land. The choice felt right then, practical even. But as the years passed, I realized that while I gained material comforts, I left a part of my soul behind. My hometown—the soil, the people, the essence—called to me, but I was too distracted to listen.

Writing The Forgotten Garden brought back waves of nostalgia and reflection. It reminded me of a garden that once thrived in my childhood—a garden I abandoned along with my roots. Revisiting that garden in my mind stirred something profound: a longing to reconnect, to revive not just the garden but the parts of myself it represents.

This continuation is about that call, the journey back to one’s origins, and the healing that awaits when we answer.

The  call of home

The winds of time carried me far,
Across oceans wide, beneath foreign stars.
I built my dreams on distant lands,
With golden towers and weary hands.

But somewhere deep, a whisper grew,
A voice I knew, yet scarcely knew.
It called me back, both soft and strong,
A melody I’d lost too long.

The streets I walked in childhood days,
Now shadowed paths in memory’s haze.
The laughter, the cries, the scents that stayed,
Their echoes formed a fleeting parade.

The garden waits, a patient friend,
Its story unfinished, far from its end.
The flowers wilted, the fruitless trees,
Yet hope lingers in the breeze.

I pack my bags, not just with clothes,
But with fragments of dreams, with humble oaths.
To tend the soil that shaped my name,
And light once more that tender flame.

Each step I take feels bittersweet,
As past and present gently meet.
The forgotten blooms will rise anew,
In colors bright, in morning’s dew.

For home is not just bricks and stone,
But the seed of love we’ve always known.
It waits, it whispers, it longs to see,
The part of itself that lives in me.
