Overcome your Fear

We Fear simply because we are not living with life, we are living in our mind.

Our fear is always about what’s going to happen next, which could be interpreted that fear is always about that does not exist therefore fear is 100% imaginary. If we are suffering with something that is non-existent, it could be interpreted as insane which could also be inferred as "disturbance in mind".

The normal cause of suffering due to fear is either because of what had happened in past and what might happen in future, however, both don’t exist.

Mind had two parts - memory and imagination, however, both don’t exist in present, memory is related to past, and imagination is related to future. Fear is an outcome of sufferings caused by either memory or imagination. It’s like our mind is creating horror movies. “Fears are Stories that we tell ourselves”

Sometimes, we get too biased with our own mental creations (our thoughts and our emotions) and forget that Almighty’s creation is much stronger than our perceptions.

We should try to divert/master our mind to live in present i.e. reality. Live your life now! There are no greater phenomena than life. If we do our present well, our future will naturally blossom.

Take Life Easy – we should take life non-serious, however, we always need to get involved with life like what we do when we play sports. Be a sport for life!

If we truly care for what we want to do in life and that really matters to us, life will become worthwhile, and our existence will be meaningful, irrespective of what we achieve.

Find your Purpose of Life, before it is too late!

 

Nothing is more difficult than being successful

Dictionary defines SUCCESS as the achieving of the results wanted or hoped for.

Success is often defined as the ability to reach our goals in life, whatever those goals may be. In some ways, a better word for success might be attainment, accomplishment, or progress.

Unsuccessful people usually measure what success is in terms of MONEY and material things - the car you drive, the home you own, and the vacations you take.

However, Successful people, on the other hand, rarely measure success on materialistic grounds. Their interpretation is related to Happiness, Contentment, Good Health, Freedom, Peace, Joy, Balance, fulfillment, Good Friendships, Happy Family, contribution to Society, etc.

One may ‘succeed’ as a rag-picker, Industrialist, Teacher, Researcher, Revolutionist, Philosopher or even as a thief or robber. Success is about fulfilling the intent behind your action. Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If we love what we are doing, we will be successful.

Some define Failure as opposite of Success, however, that’s not true. Failure is a part of success. As defined, Success is a journey of failures, sacrifices, smart & hard efforts, perseverance, confidence, consistency in efforts. We always pass Failure on our way to Success.

As soon as we think that we have succeeded in a certain thing, the adverse forces make it a point to attack and spoil it and we become complacent. However, it shouldn’t be interpreted that we should not enjoy and celebrate our successes and keep thinking on our shortcomings and failures and get depressed. We need to strike the right balance!

We need to be contented with our successes, but not satisfied. This will ensure to enjoy fulfillment and joy for our achievements. However, if we are satisfied, we feel we have achieved enough and that’s prohibits us to access additional opportunities that we could further achieve.

Success is getting what we want, Happiness is wanting what we get. Success is a relative term. There is more to “what SUCCESS is” than that. Especially when it comes to success in Life!

To be successful in life, we need to identify our Purpose of Life and set our goals accordingly, there after aligning our actions to achieve the same. It’s good to setup rolling milestones so that we could intermittently celebrate the success of achieving the set milestones and after having achieved the targeted milestone we move to the next milestone without getting complacent.

One must be very great, pure, and must have a very high and disinterested spiritual consciousness to be successful without being affected by it.

Nothing is more difficult, than being successful.

Vitamins to rejuvenate the fading bonds in these troubled times

 

We can cure our body ailments by taking medicines but what do we do for disorders related to our relationships?

Do we have diagnostics tools like Ultrasound, CT Scan, X-Rays, etc. that could provide us status of our heart and relationships and recommend us appropriate medicines/vitamins to ensure that we are healthy and fit both from our heart and mind?

Here is the list of recommended Vitamins to boost immunity of your relationships, however, you will not get these in a Chemist shop.

If we are not happy with our life, with family members around us, with friends/associates, colleagues, society or it could also be due to the current Pandemic scenario wherein the relationships have been redefined or any financial stress, then it causes stress, anxiety and pain to both our heart and mind.

Out of all the above listed causes, our relationships play a major role, as their impact on our heart is strongest, good relationships can give us utmost happiness and on the contrary, bitter relationships can give deep trauma to our heart and mind.

Therefore, our relationships need frequent Nutrition.

In such situations, we recommend,

Vitamin-A i.e. Vitamin of Attachment is the most essential nutrition. No matter, how close or far we are from our loved ones, we need to keep ourselves attached and connected. The feeling of attachment helps us uplift our mood and sentiments.

Vitamin-B i.e. Vitamin of Bonding, helps to overcome any misunderstandings that are caused in our relationships. It helps in refreshing our relationship and helps to create sweet memories. As relationships are not temporary, if we could add Vitamin of Bonding along with Vitamin of Attachment, it could lead to phenomenal results.

“The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each others’ life.”

Vitamin-C i.e. Vitamin of Care, we should never be so busy as not to think of others. Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you Care. We rise by lifting others. To the World, you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the World.

Vitamin-D i.e. Vitamin of Dedication that brings constant prosperity. True dedication can convert our dreams into realities.

All the above Vitamins will boost your immunity to keep your Relationships hale and healthy. Stay happy and flourish your relationships with your loved ones.

Identify your Purpose of Life!

Don’t Give up! Keep Going…

 

Winners are not those who never fail, but those who never quit!

Let’s understand the “The Law of Wasted Efforts”

• Half of the eggs of the fishes are eaten…
• Half of the baby bears die before puberty…
• Most of the World’s rains fall in Oceans…
• Most of the seeds of trees are eaten by birds…
• Lions succeed in only 25% of their hunting efforts…

“Law of Wasted Efforts” is a law that is governed by nature; however, as humans we think that the lack of success in few attempts is a failure.

When we face defeat in Life, the conditions are not comfortable, it hurts as well, we feel the heat, we feel the pressure, we feel being pulled back. However, we need to move forward with our spirit of resiliency and get through the adversities of life.

Keep Focus on your Goals!

Don’t Quit!

Keep trying again and again, keep moving, eventually you will bounce back… Booooooom!

The truth is that “We only fail when we stop trying”

Success is not to have a life free of pitfalls and falls…,

but success is to walk over our mistakes, go beyond every stage where our efforts were wasted and looking forward to the next stage.

Efforts are never wasted even when it leads to disappointed results, because it always makes us more prepared, strong, capable & experienced.

Learn from your mistakes and keep putting efforts.

You could take a pause but don’t quit, continue, and keep trying until you succeed.

Stay Inspired. Don’t Give up! Keep Going…

Find your Purpose of Life!

Are you vaccinated against Emotional Turmoil?

 

Like we need the vaccine to protect us from the virus, we need to learn ways to immunize ourselves from our inner emotional turmoil.

The prolonged and seemingly unending nature of the disruption and losses caused due to ongoing Pandemic makes us routinely feel disoriented, anxious and exhausted.

We need to Cultivate sense of Equanimity – We need to develop and practice stillness within us so the changing external scenario doesn’t easily affect us. This doesn’t mean that we are not affected at all. It’s just that we need to raise the threshold at which we experience emotional hijack.

Building equanimity requires deepening our emotional self-awareness. We need to learn what makes us happy, sad, insecure and excited; how frequently we move from one emotional state to the other; and what triggers these shifts. Ordinarily, we are on an autopilot mode where certain triggers produce a predictable reaction within us time after time.

When we are in touch with our changing emotional states, we can quickly catch ourselves starting to feel anxious, envious or angry. We can then choose to acknowledge those emotions and without judging ourselves, explore alternate ways to respond. That’s how we can break the pattern of our emotional reactions.

We need to learn to deal with unexpected outcomes: One of the major reasons we experience emotional stress is our attachment to specific outcomes. For example, I should get promoted this year, I will get possession of my recently booked flat this year and many other such expectations.

The problem is that we associate so closely with the desired/expected outcome and in case, there is any deviation, it causes anxiety.

The way to deal with this is to open our heart and be flexible to accept any possible outcome of whatever may emerge. Whether that promotion happens this year or the next; whether we get the possession this year or the next, we need to accept the natural process of evolution rather than get stuck to fixed outcomes.

Our ability to deal with Setbacks: We fear and hate setbacks. We shouldn’t underestimate our innate ability to deal with setbacks. We must be more resilient than we often believe.

We can protect ourselves against this fear by learning to reframe our relationship with difficult circumstances. Almost nothing is as good or as bad, as it seems. Also, we can choose to assess what the situation is trying to teach us. In fact, invariably, it’s in such situations that we learn and grow the most.

We simply need to get more comfortable with being uncomfortable.

If we can practice these in our real life, we can be assured that our vaccination is effective and our immunity on emotional turbulence is in action!

If we have cultivated our mental strength to control our emotions, then we will realize that our existence should matter, it must have value, worth and importance for us and society.

Having reached this milestone, it’s time to find our Purpose of Life and achieve the same.
