There is no sorcery denying the fact that in the pursuit of driving cashless, we’re debarring ourselves from the chasms of a contended life. All these materialistic pleasures and shimmery human lusts, how far will they fare one? Everything comes with a price tag! All the joys, sorrows, and even the existence.

Human life is another name to a counter operation, dangling between the pendulum of uncertainty and certainty. Nothing is certain, everything is uncertain. Regardless of what it is, don't take it for granted. A good life is made up of a series of little goodies wrapped in essential goodness. Of moments of entrusting with an abundance of uncertainty. Of not fearing it. Of allowing ourselves to move forward. To take the next faithful step. It is in the completely unexpected events in life that the Universe pierces before us exposure to how uncertain things have always been. How every step we take is a leap of faith. How it brings a moment of transition. Introspect. Notice your bodily wavelengths on encountering the word, "CHANGE". Do you feel a little rush of stress?
