Spreading Positivity

  From Setbacks to Comebacks.... There was a beautiful statement I read: 'Everything in life that we do has two sides... but we need to focus on the bright side, the happy side, the side that is good for all of us, and the side that makes a difference in our lives.' Many things keep happening in everyone's life, including animals, birds, and human beings, as we all have to search for the real purpose of life, as well as for food and water for our survival. Sometimes, it's so simple that God has created everything around us. It's just that we human beings have one more quality: the brain to think, and we also have emotions and feelings, which make us feel setbacks. But if we focus on the brighter side, we can easily bounce back to a better part of our lives. Though I have had a smooth life, I faced some health problems, which I overcame. Now, I am more aware of my physical and mental health and work on improving it. Similarly, many positive people, who have faced set...

  New Year with New Positive Waves.... Corona has gone with the wind; so many natural calamities have passed, and we have lost many people at a young age. Crimes and cruelty have peaked, we are losing values, and relationships are becoming more insecure. The worst part is that we are losing faith in God, as well as in ourselves, and becoming absorbed in the world of selfies. Our school teachers used to tell us that our community on this planet can only survive if there is communication and connection. Over time, the world has become smaller due to digital innovations, making connections easier and faster. However, communication has decreased and has become more challenging to manage. The time has come for all of us to change. Communication and connection need to be in sync, accompanied by a positive attitude. Just as global warming, river cleansing, water conservation, and pollution reduction are essential for improving our health, cleansing our mindset is equally important. Priori...

  Positivity in Sound and Images.... Who understands this subject better than hearing- and visually-challenged individuals? I recently met one of my patients who has had hearing difficulties for many years. I have been fortunate to help her hear better for the past 20 years. She is now 91 years old and a deeply devoted follower of God. Every word she speaks is an expression of her devotion. I recently visited her at her request, as she wanted to meet and treat me with her kindness. She greeted me warmly and expressed immense gratitude for the help I provided to improve her hearing. She said, "The best part of the hearing help you gave me is that it has not only allowed me to communicate with my family, but it has also helped me hear my own voice. Hearing my own voice makes me feel I can sing better for my God. I also understand that I don’t make mistakes while praying because my pronunciations are correct when I pray to God." I was amazed by her devotion to God—our God. She c...

Positivity in Relationships.... I love this statement, and it is true in the sense that in a relationship, the most important aspect between two people is the ability to hear what isn’t being said. For example, when a baby is born and cries, the mother immediately realizes or senses whether her child is hungry, unwell, or upset. Without the child knowing, she acts on it. A mother instinctively ensures that her child doesn’t cry for long. She uses her intuition, thought process, or even seeks advice from experienced people to comfort her baby. What a beautiful relationship between a mother and her child! This bond mirrors the relationship between God and a true devotee. The moment a devotee faces difficulty, God performs miracles to help them overcome their problems without stress. We’ve often heard stories about Lord Rama, Lord Krishna, and their devotees. When relationships are deeply understood, there is no need for words—they simply exist for each other. Such relationships carry ete...

  Celebration of Uniqueness.... As I reflect on my journey as an audiologist and speech-language pathologist, I realize that the essence of my work and life lies in celebrating uniqueness—not just in others but also in myself. My ability to connect with people, whether through a warm smile, a heartfelt conversation, or an empathetic gesture, has been the foundation of my practice. Each patient I meet teaches me something new, reinforcing the belief that individuality is a gift. Every interaction is an opportunity to honor the distinctive qualities that make us who we are. What sets me apart is not just my skills or qualifications but my passion and compassion. We are trained to deeply care for every person who walks into our clinic, and this connection fuels our commitment to their well-being. Whether it's helping a child hear their first sound or guiding an adult through the complexities of communication, our work is more than a profession; it is our calling. Flexibility, both in ...

  Nurturing Confidence.... There are so many beautiful things around us, but the most beautiful thing we possess is confidence. Even if you are not conventionally beautiful in appearance, carrying confidence within yourself ensures that everyone notices you—not by your face, but by the elegant smile of confidence you wear, the aura you possess, or the goodness of your soul reflected in your deeds. In today's world, especially during this age of scientific progress, this self-assured confidence is essential. Recently, during a visit to Norway, we explored an ice cave. While trekking toward the cave, we came across a stream. Our guide performed impressive push-ups (a yoga posture) without touching the water or getting wet, demonstrating how to drink from the stream. Two men from our group tried it and succeeded. Watching them, I felt inspired to try as well since I practice push-ups regularly as part of my exercise routine. I managed to do it just like the men did, and it made me fee...
