When a situation is not your way, do you label it as a problem, crisis, chaos or misfortune? In reality, it is just a scene of life, meant to be the way it is. Thinking about what already happened just because it did not match your expectations, destroys your inner power to fly over it. Any situation is not really the problem, our perception about it makes it a problem. The situation is only as big as our mind perceives it to be. We often radiate negative energy by blaming, judging, questioning or trying to control the situation, which is actually not in our control. Acceptance of what happened silences the mind. Our efficiency and decision-making powers increase. We start to see solutions and new possibilities in the stillness of our mind. Our calmness influences the situation and controls the situation. Let’s always be focused on what is in our control - our response. Resolve the situation and if nothing can be done, accept it with dignity. Remind yourself, 𝘐 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴. 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴.

We have so many accomplishments over the years right from childhood, that we are really proud of. We must have faced many challenges along the way of achieving them. There might have been difficulties, interruptions or disagreements. Remember all those times to see how you crossed them. You will notice that whenever you were focused on solutions you would have got better results than when you were focused on the challenge itself. So, whether it is an issue in our health, in relationships, in a project, or in finances, let us cultivate a solution-oriented approach. Do not avoid or delay during challenges. As a problem-solver you start converting dreams into goals, and goals into reality. You can handle everything that comes in your way, with your solution-oriented mindset.

Que Sera, Sera
Resistance leads to persistence. Whatever you resist or push against simply persists and pushes back in equal measure. Instead, transform resistance into acceptance by practicing "Que Sera, Sera ... whatever will be, will be..."

Don’t Give Sorrow, Don’t Take Sorrow!

Don’t give sorrow, don’t take sorrow! The qualities that stop me giving sorrow are mercy, love and honesty. If someone has these, they will never even think of giving sorrow. I need to be merciful not to give sorrow and I need to be strong in order not to take sorrow. In fact, the moment you stop taking sorrow, you days of happiness have begun.

These are your eyes, your ears and your lips – it is up to you whether to take sorrow or not.

Most of us have been through phases in life where we have either done something or not done something, only because we were concerned about what other people think about us. It is so valuable to just be who we are, even if people refuse to accept us that way. But if our life is governed by public approval, we live like victims, crushed under the opinions of society. It is a symbol of great strength to just be who we are and do what feels right and comfortable to us. But often we base our decisions on public approval. We even do certain things that don’t align with our priority, values or capacity.

𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘆, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲’𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹 –

1. Know yourself, accept yourself and appreciate yourself, then your happiness will not be dependent on approval from others.

2. Create your own definitions of right and wrongs, values and principles. Your priorities, choices, decisions, habits need to align with them.

3. Losing people’s approval when you decide to do something which is right, doesn’t make you wrong. Your peers might own an expensive phone, but you need not be embarrassed about buying a lesser expensive model.

4. If you do anything just to please people, you may do the act but create thoughts of stress, anxiety and unwillingness.

Train your mind to live life on your terms and ignore social pressures. Stop worrying about public approval and be authentic. Let’s revise this affirmation everyday -

𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 … 𝘐 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦 … 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘦 … 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 … 𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 … 𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 … 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘦 … 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘐 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 … 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 … 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘦 … 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘦 … 𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘬 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘭 … 𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 … 𝘐 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦.

𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞. Have you ever wondered that apart from living a life from morning to night, full of actions like dressing up in the morning, going to work, cooking meals and going off to sleep at the end of the day, we also have a higher purpose in this lifetime? Take for e.g. a machine in your home like an air conditioner. It runs when we put it on and shuts down when we instruct it to. When it is not running, it remains idle without ever thinking that it could do something else. Does it have a higher purpose? No. Then one day comes when we discard it forever and it is abandoned. We all are human beings first and not human doings only. Human doings work from morning to night, performing different actions, without a higher purpose. Human beings have a higher purpose - to look after the being while performing actions necessary to life. So, let us not be a like a machine from today. When we step into our workplace or when we look after our home, family and friends, let us think and be aware that one day we will leave this body and take with us nothing. No financial success, professional achievement, beautiful relationship and looks and outer personality will go with you, when you are no longer in this physical costume or body.

So, pause for a minute this moment and look inwards. I love my son or daughter or husband or wife but one day they will no longer be with me, when I leave this physical costume. For me, the purpose of my life may be looking after them. But my higher purpose is looking after my inner self, my sanskaras, my inner being, which I will carry with me. So take an affirmation every morning – 𝙄 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙮 𝙢𝙮 𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙄 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩.

Whenever you begin the day, look at everything and everyone around you and realize deeply that my education, my professional qualifications, my wealth and my role – all this and much more is not really mine.

The non-physical is controlling and running the physical. The non-physical is eternal and the physical is limited to this lifetime only.

Happiness is the primary quality that we are looking for. Also, we are looking for peace and love. As long as your consciousness is centered around the physical, all these three emotions will not be experienced by you permanently and forever. They will come and go. This is because everything physical is transient or changeable. One day your relationships are good and on another day there is a lack of co-operation and you feel less loved. Sometimes, everything is going smooth at the workplace and on another there is a pressure of uncompleted tasks and deadlines which make you feel peaceless. Also, at times your physical costume or body is healthy and running well and suddenly an illness arises and you lose your inner contentment and feeling of wellness. So, life is about twists and turns. When your consciousness is focused on your inner being, you are peaceful, loveful and happy at all times. This is because the foundation of your peace, love and happiness is not transient or changeable. Also, 𝐛𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞. They will come and go and you will remain stable, because you are a source of peace, love and happiness and you will fill every situation of your life with them. The situations are no longer your source for them and you are no longer dependent on them to remain full of peace, love and happiness.

Vision of Success

Having true faith in our goals and confidence in ourselves, determines our destiny. There is no room for doubt. Just as in nature, when the root is deep there is limitless strength, with every thought we can reaffirm our goals, creating a vision of success.

Seeds of Peace

Ignorance makes you believe that life functions haphazardly. Wisdom teaches you that everything that happens in this theatre of life has profound significance. What you see today is not the fruit of chance but a fruit from seeds planted in the past. Plant seeds of peace now and you will create a life of peace in the future.

A life full of inner happiness and contentment is only possible when everything you do is based on your real spiritual self. Suppose you have an important exam in your school and you are preparing for it with complete honesty and sincerity. Giving the exam is an important challenge for you but inspite of all your hard work you do not fare well in the exam. In such a case, we might feel unhappy but have we ever wondered that an external situation like this may be positive or negative. But do we allow our mind’s thoughts, feelings and emotions to be governed by them or to be controlled by them. Also, do remember that your life’s purpose is not only to earn wealth, play roles of different types, look after your family and children and excel in exams and get good degrees. No person in this world has everything going his way at all times in these different spheres of life. 𝐒𝐨 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐠𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.

When we have a higher purpose of redefining our thinking and modifying our feelings into better ones, our little world around us – our family and then the little bigger world around us – our workplace and then the even bigger world – our society followed by our country and then the complete world will begin to change. 𝐈𝐟 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐲. So, take a step forward today and start living like special human beings who love the being before the doing. This will create little worlds of happiness and full of peace and love around you … the little heavens, which will create a beautiful paradise in the whole world.

Trust In Others

Trust in others wins co-operation from them. To have faith in others also means reinforcing other people's faith in themselves. This naturally increases their self-confidence and creates enthusiasm. Then they become better able to respond to positive feelings and access their full potential.

If I notice someone I work with is not co-operating with me I need to check my own faith in that person. When I am able to appreciate them for their own unique qualities, my faith in that person will grow.

Comparison with Others

Comparing yourself with others will leave you vulnerable on three counts: you'll either feel inferior, superior or impressed. All three of these states are dangerous because they all disregard the underlying principle of our true connection with each other - mutual love and regard, based on independently generated self-esteem.

To protect yourself from this vulnerability, make sure that your attention remains turned within, towards the spiritual experience of pure pride. Staying centred in your elevated self-respect will help you remain undisturbed by others around you.

Enjoy Every Moment

Do you remember to enjoy every moment of each day?

Every day is important and valuable. Realise that each passing moment is the most important moment. Life is made up of millions of moments. The quality moments are those when the soul is focused, alert and in the present, yet very few moments are lived in this way and enjoyed to the full.

Consider each moment in your day as the most important moment to be lived and experienced to the full. Realise that when you are mindful of every present moment you are able to express and experience the moment in pleasure and appreciation

At times, it is great for fathers and children to reflect on the bond they share. It is also nice to say thank you to father, appreciate and acknowledge their role - of shouldering responsibilities of family, career, finances, social & spiritual life.

Success for a father has no unanimous definition. It appears to be about how much physical, social and financial comfort a father can provide, but today emotional bond between them is the key. Whether toddler or teenager, a child wants quality time and energy of the father, apart from having all needs fulfilled. So the responsibility is on the father to establish and sustain a loving relationship. Let us explore how as a father, I should bond with my child.

The first phase is my pre-natal bond which begins when my child is in the mother's womb. As a father, every thought I create for my child travels as vibrations, providing emotional nourishment. So I should radiate loving, comforting, welcoming thoughts. Conflict, anger, anxiety and other negative emotions should be avoided. I should not create thoughts of gender preference as my child catches it and feels unwanted if it is of the opposite gender.

Substance addictions for me and my wife is an absolute No. If I indulge in smoking or alcohol, I radiate vibrations of addiction to the child. Addiction not only depletes my emotional strength, it influences my child's mind and body. I must refrain from this stage and stay away from it, for life.

The next phase is infancy or babyhood and is the finest time for me to seal a strong emotional connect. Participating in baby-care tasks is important, but more important is how I feel while playing with, talking to, carrying or calming my child - do I create thoughts of love and comfort? Or do I create irritation and hurry up to get back to other work? Doing the latter sends vibrations of rejection to my child.

Worrying About the Future

Do you worry about the future? The future is unknown, uncertain and unpredictable, so instead of worrying about it, start trusting life a little bit more.

Trust that everything that happens, happens for your growth. Trust that life knows your potential and it will nurture you. Trust that life works for you and with you, no matter how things work out. Trust your future and this may help you to make the most of life as it happens.

Say Goodbye

The most powerful anchor on our potential to soar high in life is the past. The past contains the dead weight of experience, learned beliefs and all our mistakes. Life cannot truly begin until we are able to say goodbye to the legacies of yesterday at will. Like a filing cabinet, the past is a resource of information for learning, but it is not a place to live. When you go to work do you spend your day in the filing cabinet?

How often will you/did you live in the past today? Say goodbye and make it final. Saying farewell to yesterday, last month and last year is the sign of a person who wants to live for today and is truly alive to all the possibilities of 'the moment', while fully aware that all they think, say and do right now, creates tomorrow.

In the previous message, we explored how I as a father bond with my child in pre-natal stage and infancy. Today we will look at subsequent years.

During childhood years, my child's behaviour may not be the way I think is right. I need patience, understanding that it is all age-appropriate. I should love yet discipline. Be firm but never angry or punish, as they radiate vibrations of rejection, depleting my child emotionally. My role is to first accept, then empower.

Children do not learn what they see, they absorb what is around them as vibrations. So values cannot be taught but when lived by parents every time, they become a part of the child's personality. Honesty in simple acts like admitting to mistakes, paying taxes, paying fine if I broke traffic rules, and so on are essential. Respecting family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, domestic help, driver, cook or hospitality industry personnel is critical. My morals should flow in every situation with everyone, not just when my child is around.

Children share a deep connection with mothers. They naturally take a liking for anyone who treats the mother well. So how I take care of my wife creates a big influence on my relationship with my child. Of course, I must always respect my wife, not only for the sake of my child. In pre-teen or teen years my child deals with adolescence, peer pressure, media, expectations and competition. So I must continue giving acceptance, approval and appreciation so my child can share everything, trusting me to respond with stability rather than react out of impulsiveness. Only my calmness can open up a discussion where I can advice or guide.

Children are today exposed to an unsafe environment. To protect them, I should not simply care but connect, so that trust, respect and love grow. Our inner power, patience, compassion, love and joy reflect in them. If we lack them, they too will. By being aligned to the original nature of peace, love and joy, every father will raise an angel.

Remind Yourself

If you know a little of yourself, you will have realized that you are more than meets your eyes in the mirror in the morning. What you see is not what you are. You see the form not the content, the body not the soul, the matter not the mind. In quiet and profound moments, we innately know that is true. But we forget. The world tells us and wants us to believe that we are what we see - and we take the easy way out. We believe.

That's why the awakening of spirit and the flowering of our spirituality (nothing to do with religion) means we have to keep reminding ourselves, a hundred times a day, I am a soul - not a body, I am an eternal spirit - not a perishable piece of meat. I am quality, not quantity. I am. Otherwise, freedom is not possible. And if we are not free, in the deepest space inside our own being, we cannot be truly happy.
