STOP PLEASING AND LEARN TO SAY "NO"

                                  🙏WHEN YOU HAVE TO PLEASE🙏

  💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

                        WE ARE ALL SURROUNDED BY A CLUSTER OF RELATIONSHIPS- IN ADDITION TO OUR OWN FAMILY, THERE ARE EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS, COLLEAGUES, BUSINESS ASSOCIATES, ACQUAINTANCES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, NEIGHBOURS,CLUB MEMBERS, AND SO ON. IF YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON AT HEART AND HAVE NOT FELT THE PRESSURE OF TIME CRUNCH YET, I AM CAUTIONING YOU - BE PRPARED TO FACE IT SOONER OR LATER.

                       YOU MIGHT WISH TO BE AVAILABLE TO ONE AND ALL WHEN THEY ASK FOR FAVOURS OR HELP FROM YOU. YOU MIGHT FEEL THAT YOU CAN MANAGE IT AND THAT IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL BUT MORE PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO COME FOR YOUR HELP. ONE DAY, SUDDENLY, YOU WILL REALISE THAT YOUR LIFE IS A MESS AND THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE ADEQUATE TIME FOR YOU OWN FAMILY OR FOR THINGS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU.

                  YOU WILL BE SOMEBODY ELSE' AGENDA, BUT, WHAT ABOUT YOUR OWN ? IF YOU ARE PART OF A LARGE ORGANISATION OR FAMILY. YOU WILL KEEP COMING ACROSS HELP SEEKERS FREQUENTLY, AND IF YOU START PLEASING EVERYBODY, YOU WILL ONLY REMAIN AS A TASKMASTER HELPING EVERYBODY COMPLETE THEIR JOBS. YOU WILL BE STRANDED WAITING TO FIND SOME TIME FOR YOURSELF, WHICH WILL NEVER COME.

                  YOU MAY ASK HOW I KNOW THIS - YES, YOU GUESSED IT RIGHT - I WAS ONCE IN THAT SITUATION. I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME PLEASING MY SUBORDINATES, PEERS, AND BOSSES (NOT FOR RISING HIGHER IN THE ORGANISATION, JUST TO FEEL GREAT ABOUT MYSELF ), I WAS PART OF A LARGE ORGANISATION SO YOUCAN IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF TIME I HAD TO INVEST. I SPENT ENDLESS NIGHTS/WEEKENDS/HOLIDAYS TO PLEASE PEOPLE. IT COULD BE GENUINELY REQUIRED SOMETIMES BUT MOSTLY WAS TO BE NICE TO OTHERS,

                  I SACRIFICED TIME WITH MY FAMILY MORE OFTEN THAN NECESSARY, AND IT WAS BY NO MEANS WORTH IT. MAYBE YOU ARE NOT IN A SIMILAR SITUATIOJ OR MAYBE YOUR WORK CIRCLE IS LIMITED AND YOU ARE NOT PART OF A LARGE ORGANISATION - IF SO, THAN GOD!

                 THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT PART OF LARGE ORGANISATIONS BUT HAVE WIDE SOCIAL CIRCLES - THEY HAVE TOO MANY FRIENDS WHOM THEY TRY TO PLEASE ALL THE TIME. MANY FEMALE READERS MIGHT RELATE TO THIS. I HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF FEMALE GROUPS ENGAGED IN FREQUENT LUNCHES / DINNERS / BIRTHDAYS / NEW YEAR PARTIES, AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE A NUMBER OF EXCUSES AND REASONS TO GET TOGETHER.

                  AN ENDLESS AMOUNT OF TIME IS SPENT IN SHOPPING AND ORGANISING GIFTS TO BE PRESENTED TO THEIR FRIENDS. THIS IS ALL WELL, BUT, HOLD ON! WATCH THE AMOUNT OF TIME / MONEY / ENERGY YOU SPEND IN THESE ACTIVITIES, AND CHECK IF YOU ARE COMPROMISING ON ANYTHING - MAYBE YOU ARE EXTERNALLY MOBILEAND MODERN BUT ARE YOU INTERNALLY HAPPY? ARE YOU DOING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO ? ARE YOU INVESTING ENOUGH TIME IN YOURSELF? ARE YOU RUSHING BEHIND ARTIFICIAL HAPPINESS? 

                IF YOU FEEL THAT EVERYTHING AROUND YOU IS GOING WELL AND THAT THERE ARE NO COMPROMISES - GREAT, GO ON!  I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK.

                                                                ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

                                                              LEARN TO SAY "NO"

     

                     BY AND LARGE, WE ARE ALL VICTIMES OF THIS, AND WE ALL HAVE REASONS JUSTIFYING WHY WE CANOOT SAY "NO" TO SOMEONE. WELL, THIS POINT IS INTERLINKED WITH THAT OF A PLEASING PEOPLE AREOUND YOU. SOMEHOW, WE HAVE NOT DEVELOPED THIS MUST HAVE HABIT OF KNOWING WHEN AND HOW TO SAY "NO".

               WE ALL HAVE ONLY SO MANY HOURS IN A DAY. WE SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE TIME TO KILL. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE SOCIAL ANIMALS AND THAT WE NEED TO DO SEVERAL THINGS WE MAY NOT NECESSARILY LIKE OR HAVE TIME FOR. WE DO TRY TO BE CLEVER, UNDERSTAND OUR PRIORITIES, AND ALLOCATE TIME APPROPRIATELY FOR BREAKS, SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT, COMMUNITY, SOCIETY, ETC.

               HOWEVER, ANY UNPLANNED UNTERUPPTION IS TO BE THOROUGLY ASSESSED. YOU SHOULD BE WISE ENOUGH TO DECIDE IF IT SUPPORTS YOUR SET AGENDA AND GOALS OF IF IT MERELY INTRUDES ON YOUR TIME AND DERAILS THE PROGRESS OF YOUR TASKS ON HAND. YOU MAY NOT REALISE IT BUT EVEN THE SMALL PORTION OF TIME SPENT ON THAT INTERRUPTION GETS ACCUMULATED, AND WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE, IT BEOMES MONTHS AND YEARS!

             WELL, THAT'S ENOUGH OF TELLING YOU WHY YOU NEED TO SAY "NO" WHEN NECESSARY - NOW, LET ME TELL YOU THE TECHNIQUE TO DO SO IF YOU HAVE NOT LEARNT THIS THUS FAR. FIST, PRACTICE IT WITH YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS- THOROUGHLY EXPLAIN TO THEM WHY YOU ARE DOING THIS- AND THEN,  PRACTICE THIS IN YOUR DAILY LIFE.

              I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW THE OTHER EXTREME - THEY ALWAYS SAY "NO" FIRST BEFORE EVEN ASSESSING THE REQUEST AND LATER, TURN AROUND AND DO IT ANYWAY. DO NOT LET YOURSELF FALL INTO THAT CATEGORY AS WELL.

             THE TRICK IS TO SAY "NO" BY SAYING "YES" FIRST - WHEN YOU SAY "NO" FIRST, IT MEANS THAT YOU ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE NEEDS OF THE OTHER PERSON OR EVEN IGNORING THAT PERSON COMPLETELY. AT LEAST, IT IS PERCEIVED IN THAT MANNER BECAUSE WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS WHO HAVE THIS STRANGE, HABIT OF TAKING "NO" PERSONALLY.

                                              SAY "NO" BY SAYING "YES" FIRST

         SO, WHEN YOU GET A REQUEST FOR SOMETHING, WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS :

 

      1. LISTEN TO THE REQUEST ACTIVELY

      2. ACKNOWLEDGE IT BY SAYING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THAT PERSON AND YOU RESPECT THAT.

     3. THEN, SAY THAT YOU ARE INCIDENTALLY OCCUPIED WITH MORE PRESSING THINGS THAT NEED YOUR ATTENTION AT THE MOMENT AND HENCE, YOU ARE SORRY AND ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO FULLFILL THE REQUEST.

             ANY REASONABLE PERSON WILL UNDERSTAND THIS AND DROP THE MATTER. NOW, IF SOMEONE IS PRESSING YOUR FURTHER, YOU KNOW THAT THE PERSON IS BEING UNREASONBLE, AND YOU MUST GIVE IMPORTANT TO THE REQUEST ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT PERSON.

           FOR EXAMPLE, IF IT HAPPEN TO BE YOUR BOSS, YOU HAVE  TO HANDLE IT VERY DELICATELY AND WEIGH THE PROS AND CONS. IF IT'S YOUR FAMILY MEMBER, YOU HAVE TO ASSESS THE PRIORITY AND URGENCY OF THE REQUEST. IF IT'S YOUR KIDS, YOU NEED TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF YOUR PARENTING DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF THE NEED. IF IT'S A VERY  CLOSE FRIEND, LEARN MORE ABOUTTHE SITUATION AND UNDERSTAND WHETHER YOU ARE GENUINELY REQUIRED OR MERELY DRAGGED IN.

             THERE ARE NO CONCRETE OR CAST-IN-IRON WAYS TO DEAL WITH THIS - IT IS MORE OF A ARE THAN SCIENCE. THE MORE YOU PRACTICE, THE BETTER YOU WILL BECOME AT SAYING "NO" GO FOR IT, IT 'S WORTH IT.

YOU MIGHT SAY, THEREFORE, THAT THE FIRST AND LAST OF THESE CAUSES OF FAILURE CONTROL ALL THE OTHERS EXCEPT ONE.

LISTEN TO YOUR MENTAL MIND

                                           👀    MENTAL EXERCISE   👀  

   

                                                   😇😇😇😇😇😇

               THE PURPOSE OF MENTAL EXERCISE MUST  NOT BE MISUNDERSTOOD. THERE IS NO VIRTUE IN CHARMS OR FORMULATED STRINGS OF WORDS, THERE IS NO SHORT CUT TO DEVELOPMENT BY REPEATING PRAYERS OR INCANTATIONS. A MENTAL EXERCISE IS AN EXERCISE, NOT IN REPEATING WORDS, BUT IN THE THINKING OF CERTAIN THOUGHTS. THE PHRASES THAT WE REPEATEDLY HEAR BECOME CONVICTIONS. THE THOUGHTS THAT WE ARE. THE PURPOSE IN TAKING A MENTAL EXERCISE IS THAT YOU MAY THINK CERTAIN THOUGHTS REPEATEDLY UNTIL YOU FORM A HABIT OF THINKING THEM, THEN THEY WILL BE YOUR THOUGHTS ALL THE TIME. TAKEN IN THE RIGHT WAY AND WITH AN UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR PURPOSE, MENTAL EXERCISE ARE OF GREAT VALUE, BUT TAKEN AS MOST PEOPLE TAKE THEM THEY ARE WORSE  THAN USELESS.

                TAKE A TIME WHEN YOU CAN HAVE TWENTY MINUTESTO HALF AN HOUR SECURE FROM INTERRUPTION, AND PROCEED FIST TO MAKE YOURSELF PHYSICALLY COMFORTABLE LIE AT EASE IN A LOUNGE CHAIR, OR ON A COUCH, OR IN BED, IT IS BEST TO LIE FLAT ON YOUR BACK. IF YOU HAVE NO OTHER TIME, TAKE THE EXERCISE ON GOING TO BED AT NIGHT AND BEFORE RISING IN THE MORNING.

             FIRST LET YOUR ATTENTION TRAVEL OVER YOUR BODY FROM THE CROWN OF YOUR HEAD TO THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET, RELAXING EVERY MUSCLE AS YOU GO. RELAX COMPLETELY. ANE NEXT, GET PHYSICAL AND OTHER ILL OFF YOUR MIND. LEET THE ATTENTION PASS DOWN THE SPINAL CORD AND OUT OVER THE NERVES TO THE EXTREMETIES, AND AS YOU DO SO THINK. MY NERVES ARE IN PERFECT ODER ALL OVER MY BODY. THEY OBEY MY WILL, AND I HAVE GREAT NERVE FORCE.

             NEXT, BRING YOUR ATTETION TO THE LUNGS AND THINK. I AM BREATHING, DEEPLY AND QUIETLY, AND THE AIR GOES INTO EVERY CELL OF MY LUNGS, WHICH ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION.MY BLOOD IS PURIFIED AND MADE CLEAN.

              NEXT TO THE HEART: MY HEART IS BEATING STRONGLY AND STEADILY, AND MY CIRCULATION IS PERFECT, EVEN TO THE EXTREMITIES.

           NEXT TO THE DEGESTIVE SYSTEM: MY STOMACH AND BOWELS PERFORM THEIR WORK PERFECTLY. MY FOOD IS DIGESTED AND ASSMILATED AND MY BODY REBUILT AND NOURISHED. MY LIVER, KIDNEYS, AND BLADDER EACH PERFORM THEIR SEVERAL FUNCTIONS WITHOUT PAIN OR STRAIN, I AM PERFECTLY WELL. MY BODY IS RESTING, MY MIND IS QUIET, AND MY SOUL IS AT PEACE.

         

                                                                   ❤  VIEWPOINT  ❤

                ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD. IT IS PERFECT AND ADVANCING TO COMPLETION. I WILL CONTEMPLATE THE FACTS OF SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND INDUSTRIAL LIFE ONLY FROM THIS HIGH VIEWPOINT. BEHOLD, IT IS ALL VERY GOOD. I WILL SEE ALL HUMAN BEINGS, MY ACQUAINTANCES, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, AND THE MEMBER OF MY OWN HOUSEHOLD IN THE SAME WAY. THEY ARE GOOD.NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE UNIVERSE, NOTHING CAN BE WRONG BUT MY OWN PERSONAL ATTITUDE, AND HENCEFORTH I KEEP THAT RIGHT. MY WHOLE TRUST IS IN GOD.

                                                             ❤  CONSECRATION ❤

                I WILL OBEY MY SOUL AND BE TRUE TO THAT WITHIN ME THAT IS HIGHEST. I SEARCH WITHIN FOR THE PURE IDEA OF RIGHT IN ALL THINGS, AND WHEN I FIND IT, I WILL EXPRESS IT IN MY OUTWARD LIFE. I WILL HAVE THE HIGHEST THOUGHTS CONCERNING ALL MY RELATIONSHIPS, AND MY MANNER AND ACTION SHALL EXPRESS THESE THOUGHTS. I SURRENDER MY BODY TO BE RULED BY MIND, I YIELD MY MIND TO THE DOMINION OF MY SOUL, AND I GIVE MY SOUL TO THE GUIDANCE OF GOD.

                                                              ❤  IDENTIFICATION ❤

                              THERE IS BUT ONE SUBSTANCES AND SOURCE, AND OF THAT I AM MADE AND WITH IT I AM ONE. IT IS GOD. I PROCEEDED FORTH AND CAME FROM IT. GOD AND I ARE ONE, AND GOD IS GREATER THAN I, AND I DO HIS WILL. I SURRENDER MYSELF TO CONSCIOUS UNITY WITH PURE SPIRIT, THERE IS BUT ONE AND THAT ONE IS EVERYWHERE. I AM ONE WITH THE ETERNAL CONSCIOUSNESS.

                                                                   ❤  IDEALIZATION ❤

 

                          FROM A MENTAL PICTURE OF YOURSELF AS YOU WANT TO BE, AND AT THE GREATEST HEIGHT YOUR IMAGINATION CAN PICTURE. DWELL UPON THIS FOR SOME LITTLE TIME, HOLDING THE THOUGHT, THIS IS WHAT I REALLY AM, IT IS A PICTURE OF MY OWN SOUL. I AM THIS NOW IN SOUL, AND I AM BECOMING THIS IN OUTWARD MANIFESTATION.

                                                                    ❤ REALIZATION ❤

                               I APPROPRIATE TO MYSELF THE POWER TO BECOME WHAT I WANT TO BE, AND TO DO WHAT I WANT TO DO. I EXERCISE CREATIE ENERGY, ALL THE POWER THERE SI IN MINE. I WILL ARISE AND GO FORTH WITH POWER AND PERFECT CONFIDENCE, I WILL GO MIGHTY WORKS IN THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD, MY GOD, I WILL TRUST AND NOT FEAR, GOD IS WITH ME..

                                                                 💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

                                               

 

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE GOD

                                                    🙏   THE TRUTH 🙏

               STRICTLY SPEAKING, THIS CHAPTER SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST CHAPTER BUT I DELIBERATED WITH MYSELF AND DECIDED TO BRING IT UP AFTER SETTING THE CONTEXT. MOVEOVER, THERE MIGHT BE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD OR FOR THAT MATTER, IN ANYTHING SPIRITUAL.

                                                                              💫

             MY HUMBLE SUGGES- WTION IS HETHER OR NOT YOU BELIEVE IN GOD AND SPIRITUAL POWERS, JUST STAY TUNED FOR A WHILE LONGER AS YOU HAVE COME THIS FAR. CONTINUE WITH TE FLOW, AND SEE IF IT MAKES SENSE TO YOU. MY SINGLE OBJECTIVE IS TO LET MY DEAR READERS SEE AN ALTERNATE PERSPECTIVE, UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON, BE AT PEACE, AND FEEL BLISSFUL WHEN DOING WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING.

                                                                             💫

           I HAVE COME A LONG WAY WITH RESPECT TO MY RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE, GOD, AND UNDERSTANDING OF SPIRITUALITY. I HAVE REALISED THAT COSMIC ENERGY IS ACTIVE AROUND US WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT, WHETHER WE BELIEVE IN IT OR NOT, AND WHETHER WE ACCEPT IT OR NOT.

                                                                             💫

           ONE CAN DEFINITELY INVEST AN ENTIRE LIFETIME READING ABOUT, RESEARCHING, AND REDISCOVERING HOW THE WORLD EVOLVED AND HOW WE ARE ALL PARTICLES OF COSMIC ENERGY CHANGING FROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER IN THIS COSMIC CYCLE BASED ON OUR SPIRITUAL EVOLVEMENT.

                                                                             💫

             A CLEVER WAY TO UNDERSTAND THIS IN THE SHORT TIME THAT WE HAVE (UNCERTAIN TOO ) IS TO LEARN FROM THOSE WHO HAVE NOT ONLY SPEND THE MAJORITY OF THEIR LIFE LEARNING, RESEARCHING, AND SELF-REALISING THESE THINGS BUT ALSO MADE IT A POINT TO JOT DOWN THEIR EXPERIENCE AND SHARE THEM WITH WORLD.

                                                                          💫

                IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT THE ENERGIES CREATED BY OUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS ALSO IMPACT US IN SOME FORM OR THE OTHER. IF YOU ARE LEADING A GREAT LIFE TODAY, IT IS SURELY DUE TO YOU OWN KARMA AND THE SPIRITUAL ENERGIES CREATED BY YOUR PARENTS AND FORE PARENTS. SIMILARLY, THE CHALLENGES YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IN YOUR CURRENT LIFE ARE ALSO BECAUSE OF THE ENERGY YOU HAVE CREATED AROUND YOU DUE YOUR PAST DEEDS AND THAT OF YOUR FORE PARENTS.

                                                                         💫

               HUMAN LIVES ARE THE HIGHEST FORM OF LIFE CREATED BY COSMIC ENERGY. ONLY OUR SPECIES HAS THE ABILITY TO THINK, LEARN, AND APPLY KNOWLEDGE TO PROGRESS SPIRITUALLY TO A  LEVEL WHEREIN ONE CAN BE FREED FROM THIS CYCLE OR FERA, NON-EVOLVED BEINGS (SPIRITUALLY) DO NOT EVEN KNOW THAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THIS CYCLE OF BIRTH AFTER BIRTH. THEY GO THROUGH THEIR LIFE CYCLES PASSIVELY AND CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE THE PAIN, MISERY, AND TEMPORARY PLEASURE THAT COME WITH THEM.

                                                                          💫

            MY SUGGESTION IS TO GRASP AT THE LOW HANGING FRUITS FIRST. THEY WILL BE EASY FOR YOU TO PRACTICE, AND ONCE YOU MASTER THEM, YOUR MIND AND HEART WILL KNOW THAT THEIR  MASTER IS SERIOUS ABOUT IT AND BECOME EAGER FACILITATORS. THUS, YOUR STRIKE RATE WILL BE HIGHER WHEN YOU PICK UP THE NEXT SET OF ITEMS ON THE LIST THAT SOUNDED TOUGH DURING YOUR FIRST ATTEMPT.

                                                                          💫

                                     👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

    ❤   1. SPEAK ONLY THE TRUTH.

    ❤   2. CHEAT NOBODY, INCLUDING YOURSELF.

    ❤   3. EAT AND DRINK ONLY WHAT YOUR BODY IS DESIGNED TO DIGEST.

    ❤   4. SLEEP AS REQUIRED BY YOUR BODY TO RECOVER - DO NOT LAZE AROUND.

     ❤  5. KEEP YOUR BODY HEALTHY -IT IS A PRICELESS ASSET OF YOURS.

     ❤  6. KEEP YOUR BODY ACTIVE THROUGH SOME ACTIVITY - YOGA, EXERCISE, GYM, WALKING, JOGGING, CYCLING, SWIMMING - WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU.

    ❤ 7. KEEP YOUR MIND ENRICHED BY READING THE RIGHT BOOK - SELF-HELP, AUTOBIOGRAPHIES OF SUCCESSFUL AND SPIRITUALLY EVOLVED PEOPLE, SPIRITUAL BOOKS ( REFER TO THE LIST OF BOOKS GIVEN IN THE ANNEXURE ), ETC.

    ❤ 8. ASSOCIATE YOURSELF WITH PLACES AND PEOPLE WHO CAN BOOST YOUR SPIRITUAL PROGRESS.

   ❤  9. WORK FEARLESSLY,DILIGENTLY, AND WITH CONVICTION IN WHATEVER YOU DO.

   ❤  10. FIND A MENTOR WHO WILL SELFLESSLY HELP YOU IN VARIOUS AREAS OF LIFE - YOU CAN HAVE MULTIPLE MENTORS, INFACT.

   ❤  11. LEARN MEDITATION, AND START PRACTISING IT REGULARLY.

   ❤  12. BECOME NON - JUDGEMENTAL OF PEOPLE.

   ❤  13.HOLD NO GRUDGES WITH ANYBODY.

   ❤  14. KEEP AN OPEN MIND - LEARN MORE ABOUT NATURE, AND APPRECIATE ALL THAT IT PROVIDES.

   ❤  15. BE THANKFUL TO THE ALMIGHTY ON A DAILY BASIS FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH.

  ❤  16.  SHARE WHAT YOU HAVE WITH JOY (MORE ON THIS IN THE NEXT CHAPTER)

                          IF YOU START PRACTISING THESE, YOU WILL ATTRACT COSMIC ENERGY, WHICH IN TURN WILL LEAD YOU TOWARDS SPIRITUAL PROGRESS. MAKE THIS YOUR WAY OF LIFE, AND START LIVING THE BLISSFUL LIFE THAT HUMAN BEINGS DESERVE.

ABOUT MONEY

                I KNOW WHAT SOME OF ARE THINKING - WE ARE LIVING IN SATYUG TO JUST DO OUR WORK AND NOT EXPECT MONEY IN RETURN. NO, I DID NOT MEAN IT IN THAT WAY.

              WHAT I MEAN HERE IS - LOVE WHAT YOU DO, AND DO WHAT YOU LOVE. DO NOT DO THINGS YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO. MOREOVER, DO NOT BE AFTER MONEY SO MUCH THAT YOUR LIFE BECOMES MONOTONOUS, DRIES OUR COMPLETELY, AND YOU DO THINGS WITHOUT ANY PASSION.

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-2132216722897449"

                            👀  LOVE WHAT YOU DO, AND DO WHAT YOU LOVE 👀

              ONECE YOU PASSIONATELY DO WORK THAT YOU ENJOY, YOU WILL NOT ONLY PRODUCE BETTER RESULTS BUT YOU WILL BE ENJOYING IT AS WELL. IT IS ALMOST LIKE BEING PAID FOR ENTERTAINING YOURSELF ! I KNOW IT IS DIFFICULT FOR MANY OF US TO ACCEPT OR BELIEVE IN THIS - YOU MAY EVEN SAY THAT THIS IS MEANT ONLY FOR THOSE FORTUNATE FEW WHO LOVE WHAT THEY DO AND ARE PAID DO IT.

              LET US BREAK THIS MYTH RIGHT NOW- GOD HAS CREATED ALL OF US AND IMPLANTED A SEED OF PURPOSE IN EACH ONE OF US. HE HAS FURTHER LEFT IT OPEN FOR US TO DISCOVER OUR PURPOSE THROUGH SELF - EXPLORATION. WE BECOME WHAT WE ARE MEANT TO BE BY GOING THROUGH OUR KARMIC CYCLE STEP BY STEP. IT IS SIMILAR TO HUMAN BIRTH - THE NEW ARRIVAL HAS TO GO THROUGH A LONG PROCESS OF NINE MONTHS OF BE BORN AND BECOME READY TO FACE THE ENVIRONMENT OF AN ALIEN WORLD.

          ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND THIS, YOU WILL GET A DEEP SENSE OF INNER CALMNESS, AND YOU WILL BECOME MORE FOCUSED IN DOING YOUR WORK, CUTTING DOWN ALL THE NOISE THAT KEEP CLUTTERING YOUR MIND ALL THE TIME.

          MOST OF US KNOW MONEY IS A BY - PRODUCT BUT STILL END UP TREATING OUSELVES LIKE MACHINES AND ASSUME THAT WE ARE PAID FOR THE WORK WE DO - LET US CHANGE THIS BELIEF AND LOOK AT IT AS A REWARD FOR OUR ABILITY TO SERVE.

           JUST KEEP SERVING AS MUCH YOU CAN - YOU WILL NOT ONLY FEEL SATISFIED BUT YOU WILL EARN MUCH YOU CAN - YOU WILL WHICH CAN BE UTILISED BUT YOU WILL EARN MORE MONEY, WHICH CAN BE UTILISED TO MEET YOUR PERSONAL NEEDS AND SERVE OTHERS AROUND YOU. THE MORE YOU SERVE, MORE MONEY WILL START ROLLING IN, WHICH WILL GIVE YOU DEEP SATISFACTION AND A SENSE OF FULLFILMENT.

                        👀  MONEY IS A REWARD FOR YOUR ABILITY TO SERVE 👀

            MOST OF US HAVE A WEIRD FEELING ABOUT OUR WORKS. WELL, IF YOU ARE NOT LIKE ME, THAT IS GREAT - BUT, FOR ME, IT WAS NOT A PLEASURE STORY, AND I WAS OUT OF SYNC FOR MANY YEARS.

          I WANTED TO START WORKING AS SOON AS LONGER TO EARN - A STUDIES BECAUSE I COULD NOT WAIT ANY LONGER TO EARN - A SELF - IMPOSED PRESSURE. I REMEMBER MY INITIAL PERIOD OF WORKING. I WAS SO DEEPLY INVOLVED IN MY WORK TO LEARN NEW THINGS, TO UNDERSTAND PEOPLE AND PROCESSESS, TO PLEASE EVERYBODY AROUND, AND SO FORTH.

          WITHOUT REALISING IT, I BECAME GOOD AT WHAT I WAS DOING AND WAS GENERALLY LIKED BY EVERYBODY - AND WHY NOT?

          I WAS  THERETO PLEASE EVERYBODY. A YOUNG, BUDDING ENGINEER WITH A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM CAN SPEND OF A FEW YEARS LIKE THAT WITHOUT ANY HURDLES AS IF THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN LIFE OTHER THAN WORK. SLOWLY, THAT BECAME A HABIT AND MY WAY OF LIFE - FAMILY, PERSONAL TIME, SOCIAL OBLIGATIONS, FRIENDS, ETC. WERE JUST NOT THERE ON MY WORK, I MANAGED TO HAVE TIME TO FIND MY LIFE PARTNER, GET MARRIED, AND GO ON A HONEY MOON. IN FACT, IT WAS ALL INCIDENTAL BECAUSE IF THOUGHT THAT I HAD TO DO THOSE THINGS.

         AFTER SPENDING THE EARLY YEARS OF MY LIFE LIKE THAT - MAYBE AT LEAST TEN YEARS - I FELT IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO MOVE ON AND TAKE MORE RESPONSIBILITY AT WORK. SO, I JOINED A MULTINATIONAL ORGANISATION, GREW IN NO TIME FROM PRODUCT MANAGER TO GENERAL MANAGER. WHY NOT? I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO TAKE CARE OF EXCEPT FOR WORK!

          ANYWAY, LIFE WENT ON LIKE THAT UNTIL I TURNED FORTY. IN BETWEEN, I HAD ALSO PICKED UP THE NETWORKING BUSINESS TO BUILD ON DURING MY FREE TIME ! I WAS EXHAUSED - PRACTICALLY ENGAGED 24/7 I MUST HAVE SLEPT FOR LESS THAN FOUR HOURS MANY NIGHTS. I CONTINUED WORKING LIKE A MACHINE, FROM AIRPORT TO AIRPORT AND THROUGH NEVER - ENDING INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL BUSINESS MEETINGS.

         I FREED MYSELF OF THAT HECTIC LIFE AND TOOK UP ASSIGNMENTS THAT GAVE ME MORE PEACE OF MIND. I COULD FINALLY DO ONLY THOSE THINGS THAT WERE REQUIRED RATHER THAN PLEASING PEOPLE AND REMAINING BUSY 24/7.

       AS I AM WRITING THIS BOOK, I HAVE PICKED UP AN ASSIGNMENT WITH A MID-SIZED MULTINATIONAL ORGANISATION TO BUILD AND INDIAN OPERATION WITH A SMALLER TEAM. I AM ENJOYING MY WORK AND AM FEELING COMPLETELY SECURE ABOUT MYSELF. I DO WHAT NEED TO BE DONE AND AM NOT BEING CARRIED AWAY BY ANY ILLUSION. YOU MAY NOT BE IN THE SAME STATE AS I WAS - MAYBE YOU ARE MORE COMPOSED AND ARE ALREADY ENJOYING YOUR WORK, IF SO, YOU NEED NOT CHANGE THAT. I AM NARRATING MY STORY ONLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE THE CROSSROADS OF A SIMILAR SITUATION, HOLDING BACK FOR THE ONE FINE DAY, THAT WILL BEVER COME.

                ONCE YOU COME TO TERMS WITH YOURSELF, YOU WILL ATTRACT THE JOB/WORK YOU LOVE ( UNIVERSAL FORCES WILL WORK AT GETTING THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS TO YOU - YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND AND HEAR YOUR OWN INNER VOICE) ONCE YOU SEIZE THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY, THINGS WILL FALL IN PLACE. YOU WILL DO WHAT YOU LVOE AND LOVED WHAT YOU DO - AND THE WORK YOU DO WILL BECOME LIKE MUSIC IN YOUR LIFE. MONEY WILL BE A MERE BY-PRODUCT.

JOY OF GIVING

                      THE MORE YOU GIVE, THE MORE YOU GAIN

                     GIVING CAN BECOME A VERY COMPLEX THING IF YOU START ANALYSING IT TOO MUCH - GIVE TO WHOM, HOW MUCH TO GIVE, GIVING THROUGH NGO S, IS IT RIGHT TO GIVE ANYTHING TO A BEGGAR, AND SO ON. THE SIMPLE ANSWER TO ALL THESE QUESTIONS IS THAT IF YOU GET JOY IN GIVING, THEN GIVE WHATEVER YOU CAN TO ANYBODY YOU PLEASE - TIME, MONEY, THINGS, KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, OR JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.

                   WE MAY NOT REALISE THIS BUT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WORKS ON A "GIVE AND TAKE " THEORY. TAKE A MOMENT, AND DWELL OVER ALL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN. YOU WILL BE AMUSED WHEN YOU THINK BACK ON THIS.

                ❤ THE VERY LIFE YOU ARE LIVING

                ❤ THE AIR YOU ARE BREATHING

                ❤ THE WATER YOU ARE DRINKING

                ❤ THE FOOD YOU ARE EATING

                ❤ THE HOUSE YOU ARE LIVING IN

                ❤ THE DOMESTIC HELP YOU ARE GETTING

                ❤ THE COUNTRY YOU ARE LIVING IN

                ❤ THE CITY YOU ARE LIVING IN

               ❤ THE WORK YOU ARE DOING

               ❤ THE NATURE YOU ARE ENJOYING - PARK, MOUNTAINS, RIVERS, BEACHES.

               ❤ THE TRANSPORT MEANS YOU ARE USING - BIKES, CARS, COACHES, AIRCRAFTS

               ❤ THE MOTORABLE ROADS AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE YOU ARE USING

               ❤ THE MEANS OF ENTERTAINMENT YOU ARE ENJOYING - THEATRE, THEME PARKS, AMUSEMENT PARKS, MALLS

                      THIS LIST IS ENDLESS. WE TAKE THE THINGS PROVIDED BY NATURE FOR GRANTED AND FURTHER THINK THAT IT IS JUST OUR MONEY THAT IS BUYING MOST OF THE SERVICES AND MEANS. THINK AGAIN, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE INVOLVED FROM THE INNOVATION OF THE PRODUCT UNTIL YOU GET IT IN YOUR HAND. IF THEY HAD DECIDED NOT TO DO WHATEVER IT IS THEY DID, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF WHAT YOU ARE USING CURRENTLY.

                   WE LIVE IN A BIG COMMUNITY IN THE UNIVERSE WHERE IN EVERYBODY HAS A ROLE TO PLAY, AND THE MORE YOU GIVE, THE MORE YOU GAIN- IT IS A SIMPLE AND ROBUST RULE OF NATURE.WE SIMPLY CANNOT MANIPULATE THIS.

                                       THE MORE YOU GIVE, THE MORE YOU GAIN

                         ONCE YOU HAVE THIS FEELING OF GRATIFICATION, YOU WILL START SHARING JOYOUSLY. ONCE YOU START SHARING AND FORGET ABOUT THE GRATIFICATION AT THE END OF IT, IT WILL BECOME REAL JOY CALLED THE JOY OF GIVING.

                     DO NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT YOU GET IN RETURN. YOU DO NOT NEED TO GET ANYTHING IN RETURN BECAUSE YOU ARE ALREADY ABUNDANTLY PROVIDED FOR. IT IS ONLY NOW THAT YOU HAVE REALISED THIS FACT AND STARTED GIVING BACK. GO ON, AND GRAB EVERY SINGLE MOMENT OF THIS JOY AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY YOU COME ACROSS.

                    IF YOU ARE STILL NOT SURE WHERE TO START, THE FOLLOWING LIST                          CAN HELP.

     

               ❤ COOK OR BUY FOOD FOR SOMEONE WHO IS HUNGRY - FAMILY, FRIENDS, OR A STRANGER.

               ❤ GIVE TIME TO SOMEONE WHO IS LONGING FOR YOUR COMPANY - FAMILY, FRIENDS, OR THE ELDERLY.

               ❤ TEACH THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO LEARN.

               ❤ SUPPORT SICK PEOPLE BY NURSING THEM, PAYING THEIR BILLS, AND HELPING THEM RECOVER FASTER.

               ❤ GIVE A FLOWER TO SOMEONE WHEN YOU MEET HIM OR HER.

               ❤ DEVELOP THE HABIT OF TAKING SOME TOKEN WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO TO MEET SOMEONE. IT NEED NOT BE EXPENSIVE-FLOWERS, FRUITS, BOOKS,. IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT IS IMPORTANT AND NOT WHAT YOU BUY.

              ❤ WHEN YOU GO OUT WITH FRIENDS, TREAT THEM TO A MEAL AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY YOU GET.

              ❤ LISTEN CAREFULLY AND INTENTLY WHEN SOMEONE IS TALKING WITH YOU.

              ❤ SHARE YOUR LOVE AND CARE WITH THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU.

              ❤ GREET AND THANK THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GENERALLY TAKEN FOR GRANTED, LIKE WATCHMEN, SECURITY GUARDS, DRIVERS, DOMESTIC HELP, OR ANYONE WHO IS RENDERING SOME KIND OF SERVICE TO YOU.

              ❤ IF YOU SEE ELDERLY PEOPLE CROSSING THE ROAD, HELP THEM AND WISH THEM WELL.

              ❤ IF SOMEONE IS IN A HURRY AND WANTS TO MOVE AHEAD IN THE QUEUE AT PUBLIC PLACES, JUST LET HIM OR HER THROUGH - THE SKY IS NOT GOING TO FALL DOWN.

             ❤ IF SOMEONE IS IN DISTRESS, PRAY FOR HIM OR HER - IN FACT, PRAY FOR ALL THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW.

             ❤ HELP PEOPLE WITHOUT THEM FINDING OUT WHO IS HELPING THEM.

               ONCE YOU START DOING THIS, IT WILL BECOME SECOND NATURE TO YOU, AND YOU WILL BE ALIGNED WITH THE LAW OF NATURE. YOU WILL EXPERIENCE AND INNER JOY THAT CANNOT BE COMPARED TO THE TEMPORARY PLEASURE YOU GET OUT OF THE VARIOUS MEANS OF ENTERTAINMENT YOU USUALLY ENJOY.

               WITH THIS, I COME TO THE END. I HOPE YOU WILL FIND USEFUL GUIDE IN YOUR PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

                                                               ❤.... GOD BLESS.....❤

  

                           

           

 

HARD WORK NEVER GIVE YOU MONEY

                                                   DONT BE SERIOUSLY

                  IT TOOK ME MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS TO UNDERSTAND THAT WORK COULD ALSO BE ENJOYED. TO BE FAIR, I SECRETLY ENJOYED IT BUT WAS CONSTANTLY REMINDING MYSELF THAT IT WAS WORK AND THAT I SHOULD NOT ENJOY IT. I HAVE TO DO IT "SERIOUSLY" BECAUSE I HAVE TO EARN. WHAT A STUPID THOUGHT! IF YOU, LIKEME, TAKE WORK VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE YOU THINK IT HAS TO BE TREATED SO, WELCOME ABOARD!

                   I THINK THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH ONE'S BACKGROUND, UPBRINGING, AND FINANCIAL SITUATION. WITH DUE RESPECT TO MY PAST, THE ONLY AIM OF MY LIFE WHEN I WAS SIXTEEN WAS TO SOMEHOW STUDY HARD, GET THE REQUIRED MARKS IN TENTH AND TWELTH GRADES, OBTAIN ADMISSION INTO AN ENGINEERING COLLEGE, START EARNING SOONER THAN LATER, AND SUPPORT MY FAMILY! WHEN I SEE PHOTOS OF MY YOUTH, THESE FEELINGS ARE REFLECTED ON MY FACE. I FEEL THIS PRESSURE EVEN NOW!

                 I DID NOT HAVE THE CONCEPT OF ENJOYING LIFE, SMELLING THE ROSE ON THE WAY, OR TAKING A REFRESHING BREAK- I WAS  CAUGHT UP IN A RACE LIKE HOW IT WAS SHOWN IN THE HINDI MOVIE 3 IDIOTS-JUST RUNNING AROUND WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT I WAS DOING. SOMEHOW, I GOT DONE WITH ENGINEERING AND THEN, I WAS IN HURRY TO GET A JOB MORE THAN MY RESULTS.

                  I GOT A JOB, THEN, I WANTED TO SWITCH OVER TO A BIGGER ORGANISATION FOR BETTER PAY, POSITION, AND RESPECT.

               YES, WE ALL NEED MONEY, AND WE DO NEED TO WORK HARD FOR IT. HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE CAN'T ENJOY OUR WORK OR THAT WE HAVE TO BECOME TOO SERIOUS ABOUT IT. TO START WITH, 

                       LET US LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTIONS:

             ❤ FREE YOURSELF OF WORRIES  ABOUT THE FUTURE - YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT ANYWAY.

             ❤ STOP PLEASING EVERYBODY AROUND YOU.

             ❤ LEARN TO SAY "NO" WHEN NECCESSARY.

             ❤ ALIGN YOUR HEART AND MIND.

             ❤ REDUCE EXTERNAL COATING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

             ❤ BECOME NON-JUDEMENTAL OF OTHERS.

             ❤ STOP BEING HARD ON YOURSELF.

             ❤ DON'T WORK FOR MONEY.

                NOW, LET US DWELL IN DETAIL OVER EACH TOPIC, AND SEE HOW TO FOLLOW EACH OF THEM. IT IS NOT AS DIFFICULT AS IT SOUNDS. BELIEVE ME!

               I AM SURE EACH ONE OF US ALREADY HAS CERTAIN ABILITIES AND COMFORT ZONES WITH REGARD TO SOME OF THE ABOVE POINTS, IF NOT ALL - SO, FOCUS ON THOSE POINTS WHERE YOU NEE HELP, AND JUST GLANCE THROUGH THE POINTS YOU ARE ALREADY COMFORTABLE IN TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING NEW TO BE LEARNT.

                  FIRST, LIST OUR YOUR FEARS. SOME OF THE EXAMPLES COULD BE:

         1. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I DO NOT HAVE A JOB OR MONEY COMING IN ONE MONTH FROM NOW?

         2. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I DIE TOMORROW ?

        3. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF MY SPOUSE IS NOT THERE TOMORROW ?

        4. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF MY CHILD DOES NOT BECOME SUCCESSFUL ACCORDING TO SOCIETY'S DEFINITION ?

        5. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF SOMEBODY IN MY FAMILY FALLS SICK AND I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO TREAT THEM ?

       6. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I MEET WITH A SEVERE ACCIDENT ?

      7. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I FAIL IN ACHIEVING THE REQUIRED TARGETS AT MY WORK/JOB ?

       8. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I LOSE THE CONTRACT I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS ?

      9. WHAT IF I AM UNABLE TO BUY THAT SWANKY FLAT, WHICH HAVE I DREAMT OF BUYING FOR MORE THAN A DECADE ?

     10. WHAT IF DO NOT HAVE THAT SEDAN, WHICH I DESERVED TO HAVE FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS BUT AM HOLDING BACK ?

     11. WHAT IF I CAN'T AFFORD TO GO ON A VACATION WITH MY FAMILY FOR ANOTHER FIVE YEARS OR EVEN MORE ?

                   THESE ARE ALL NEGATIVE THOUGHTS NOBODY LIKES TO DWELL ON, RIGHT? WE KNOW THAT THE VERY THOUGHT ITSELF GIVES US JITTERS, AND IT IS CERTAINLY NOT A GOOD IDEA TO THINK ABOUT THEM IN MORE DETAIL. HOLD YOUR BREATH - IAM GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO EXACTLY THAT.

                  IF ANY OF YOU HAVE PRACTICED VIPASSANA MEDITATION, YOU MIGHT ALREADY KNOW THIS - OUR BODY EXPERIENCE SEVERAL SENSATIONS THAT KEEP REOCCURRING AND VANISHING ON THEIR OWN, AND THIS IS A CONTINIOUS PROCESS. WHEN YOU ARE PRACTISING THIS TECHNIQUE, YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO NOT RESIST THE SENSATION - JUST BE PRESENT, OBSERVE IT. AND IT WILL GO AWAY ON ITS OWN AS NO SENSATION LASTS FOREVER.
