Spreading Positivity

Mindfulness and positivity: A perfect Blend for Inner Peace When we think about mindfulness, it means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and bodily reactions, and learning from our surroundings through our natural lens—our soul. One such event I personally witnessed was the Mahakumbh, which occurs once every 144 years in our country. I was fortunate enough to take a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam, where the three sacred rivers—Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati—meet. The experience was both unimaginable and amazing. It is said that faith gives us everything, yet we often do not place enough trust in faith. Just imagine—some time ago, we faced a natural calamity, the coronavirus, which distanced us from one another. Despite the scientific advancements that brought the world closer, the pandemic forced us to stay apart to avoid infection. And now, through faith and the incredible strength of belief passed down by our ancestors, we are once again connected—this ...

  A Light on Social Media.... The digital age has redefined how we connect, communicate, and consume information. Social media has become an inseparable part of our daily lives, shaping opinions, influencing emotions, and even altering human relationships. While many argue that excessive screen time and viral trends are creating a disconnected society, there is another side to this story—one filled with hope, inspiration, and growth. Social media, when used mindfully, can be a powerful tool that spreads positivity, strengthens bonds, and rekindles faith in humanity. It is a platform that offers us a choice: to either contribute to the chaos or to illuminate the digital world with wisdom, kindness, and purpose. For me, social media has been a window to the world of hearing-impaired children, allowing their extraordinary stories to reach far and wide. Through photos, videos, and heartfelt narratives,  I am able to showcase their resilience, joy, and unwavering determination. A c...

  The Ripple Effect of Positivity.... Today marks my 250th article on positivity. Sometimes, I wonder when I first thought of this idea, how it all started, and how I managed to write 250 articles on positivity without interruption. I don’t know how many people have read them, how many have benefited from them, or how people have perceived my perspective on positivity. But as an individual, I have felt a change within myself. The ripple effect of spreading positivity was created in me by the hearing-impaired children I interact with every day. God has given these special children a unique strength—they possess immense positivity and an extraordinary ability to face challenges daily. For them, positivity is a way of life. For us, the best is always in the future—tomorrow, tomorrow, and tomorrow. The most inspiring part is that, while we often hear of people struggling with mental health issues due to genetic predisposition, environmental stressors, or chemical imbalances in the brai...

One Earth, One Family, One Future We recently organized an event through Josh Foundation with the theme "One Earth, One Family, One Future," where over 230 underprivileged hearing-impaired children performed on stage. This concept was designed with a holistic approach to life. There were 16 groups from 14 different special schools for hearing-impaired children. Since these are special children, they typically take time to understand and prepare, so we give them at least two months to rehearse. Every school put in tremendous effort to present this concept, and the results were truly unimaginable. Each child performing on stage exuded confidence and displayed remarkable coordination. Working with special children, especially those who are hearing impaired, I feel they are the perfect messengers to spread the idea of "One Earth, One Family, One Future" to create a better environment for our planet. Every school presented a unique story in a beautiful way. We believe th...

"Thinking Without Really Thinking" Wow! What an interesting subject! I read a book where it was mentioned that we humans have the power to think, but many people use their thinking without truly thinking. Why is that so? One of the writers stated that a common "disease" among humans is the "excuse and blame game." He also mentioned that countless people on this earth live ordinary lives and often try to mask their failures to achieve something with justifications and excuses. Many people are so habitual in making excuses that you could write an entire book. They construct strong, logical arguments to prove that they face greater difficulties than anyone else, which supposedly hampers them from fulfilling their desires or meeting their commitments to their loved ones. Interestingly, the study also highlighted that there are people who achieve their aspirations despite leading similar, or even tougher, lives than the average person. Recently, I had a very me...

  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...
