Life Simplified to LIFE BOOK!

There is an element of uncertainty to everything you do. What makes life exciting and unpredictable is this factor. Every time you plan something, and you know where you are heading, life takes it's stand to let you know, what you do not know by showing you a part of the journey that you could have never anticipated on your plan.

What's the title of your LIFE BOOK?
The faster you convert that uncertainty to knowledge, experience and lesson of life, is how quickly pages of life start getting filled and it's the largest volumes written with deep content that become the best sellers after the books are finished. Basically, before you leave the world, you must understand deep and clear that the only way you will survive in this world after you are gone, is through your LIFE BOOK you compile, through your LIFE STORY. If it is worth sharing, it will get shared, but if it ain't your coming and going out will be like a pedestrian on the busiest roads of the world, totally unnoticed and highly lost in the crowd.

It's those that write loads in their LIFE BOOK and make it exciting on every single page, have something worth to pass it on to the next generation of readers. Uncertainty is the spice of life, and the thrill of this brilliant book. When all that you do ends up as failure, your LIFE BOOK can still be a best seller and that's the secret of having lived a life, which doesn't die after you are gone and doesn't fade in events of failure while you lived.

Each of us have a chance to correct ourselves and rectify ourselves, grow and make a mark through every act of ours, while some of us choose to exercise the power given to us to write our LIFE BOOK, the rest of us are too lazy to pick up the pen and write this much, just like the many exams in schools/colleges we wrote. A short book too can be powerful and worth sharing as long as it's got the element of twists, is spicy and has the taste that can leave your mouth watering for more.

While Anne Frank is an example of one a short story, you could also be Mother theresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Hitler or for that matter Sachin, Michael Jackson or Tom Cruise. Your story is yours write and no other person can ever write your book. They can be a part of a few pages of your book while they are writing their own, but never write your complete book.

So time to look back into your life and re-read all that you have written and introspect if your STORY is worth sharing, if your dish is tasty enough to make someone drool for more, if your LIFE is a message strong enough to be forwarded to generations to come. If yes, make it deeper and stronger, If no, you still have time. I truly thank you, for spending your time reading this blog and making this little time a part of one your pages of your LIFE BOOK. While I hope this simplifies your life LIFE SIMPLIFIED! also will.

Thank you

"Happiness lies within" - A re-inforcement!

When I came across this picture - I was pretty sure there is heavy depth in it! One of my friends asked me elaborate my view on this. I totally agree that greatest happiness lies within us. It's after all a feeling and not a material object to lie outside us. Though outside world control feelings, it's not always necessary to allow the control. When the pain is going beyond a threshold from the world outside us, it's better to shut the window of control and take back the control in our own hands.

It's like the television and the remote functionality, the remote control can change the channels as long as the Television is connected to the power plug. Once it shuts itself down, it still remains a television but absolutely no action can the remote have on it. One might think what's the point in being a television that is switched off. Metaphorically this only needs to be done under situations of deep pain, until the user changes and someone else has the remote then. As long as the right channels are being played that can bring joy and positivity to the world and you - Allow the user to have control. Else just switch yourself off wait and for the user to change (either THE user itself changes, or the user changes his behavior!)

Hope this analogy brings some clarity. There is peace already within, it's the burden of desires, expectations, worries, hopes, material dreams etc that we put on our soul that it's pressurized and breaks down. It was as such born without any of this and devoid of these it's peaceful by nature. The best way to keep the soul at peace with all of this is to ensure you outsource the task of dealing with all of the desires, expectations etc. to your intellect and not your emotions. Let the result (positive ones) make you happy and work more harder and let the failures (negative ones) trigger happiness and challenge in you! Keep no channel that plays pain and misery.

For sure, you shall attract the best only and the best shall happen with you. You might believe or think that this is hypothetical, but all the lives of those men who lived at peace with themselves and made a mark and spread the message of peace and happiness lived by it and their lives are a standing testimonial to what we just discussed.

Give space on your mind to pain and problems only how much it deserves! (it deserves NONE!). Let joy, happiness, peace, love sleep in luxury in the space of your mind, like your mind was their backyard (backyard of a billionaire's palace - unlimited expanse, beauty, greenery and serenity!)

Keep smiling (half your problems stop existing!)!

Peer pressures are killing dreams & purposeful lives of many! Fight it!

The peer pressures in the world are increasing by the day. There are enough people to advise but none to mentor. People are trying to pull us on all sides, the moment they see you are talented they all want your service and work and then at one point when they feel they have had enough of you, you are left wandering all alone.

They want you to become this, they want you to become that, either because they couldn't become what they wanted or because they need someone like that. It it unites with what your passions are, interests and capabilities are - Great! Else once they are gone, you are left in no-man's land. For, the reason for which you started doing what you did, itself doesn't exist. Hence if you are mentored to become what your passions are - then the source of ignition is something you are not dependent on and that is what a great mentor or a leader is, who makes himself irrelevant once he shows the path and that's why he is bestowed with the title of a great leader.

But today, people title themselves mentors and coaches and every other person is coaching others to have a successful living though they themselves are still search of their own purpose of existing. It's always to share knowledge and information but to share wisdom you first must own experience.

Meanwhile, to convey this message of what is happening to a lot of us today - when we are being pulled on all sides - Here is a small video that I have created.

Inspired from my first creation which you must have watched in the previous blog: Be Yourself!

A small message today: "BE YOURSELF!!!" (Conveyed trough a video!)

In today's world its a common sight to see that people are being carried away by trends. That which becomes a trend people flock it and suddenly when the trend is out-dated, people are left confused. It's a need to empower masses and make them follow sustainable trends, so that they could make a worthwhile mark and add meaning to their existence.

Trend setters' objective is to have people flocking! But, the ones that are clean in objective and have a true genuine impact to progress the mankind are truly appreciated for being trends. Those that simply divert and make men get mislead, are many in the world today. This is disheartening!

I believe a visual always has a great impact on mind and hence I created a small video to give my message. Hope you interpret right and are able to catch the depth of what I am trying to convey. Do share to help this message reach more people!



Thank you!

Make sure you are not being played by the trends and you know to make a choice/call and you support visions that are truly sustainable and not those that are around for a little time and have no specific target or impact on the mankind!
