Spreading Positivity

  Don’t Ask Permission to Fly. .. “Don’t ask permission to fly, wings are yours and the sky belongs to no one.” When I came across this thought, it made me reflect deeply. Birds are blessed with the special power to fly, and they explore the vast, endless sky with unlimited directions before them. Yet, even with this limitless freedom, their focus remains clear, to fly for food, to migrate, to survive, and to explore the universe. We humans may not have wings, but our mind has the same capacity to make us fly. Our imagination is boundless, our thought process unlimited, and with focus we too can soar and explore like the birds. As I sat in a flight, watching the sky stretch endlessly around me, I realized that even though the sky is open in every direction, the aircraft follows its path with guidance and clarity, reaching its destination. Just like that, our own journey in life also needs focus, direction, and determination. I also visited a place where all the wonders of the world...

  I am my problem, I am my solution... Wow! what a beautiful and positive thought for life. I read this somewhere, and it made me realize how deeply meaningful this sentence is. If one tries to implement it in life, we can achieve so much more. Recently, I also came across another thought: when you boil water and put a potato in it, it becomes soft; but if you put an egg in the same boiling water, it becomes hard. Here, the water is the common element, but it doesn’t decide the outcome. The result depends on how each one responds to the challenge. The essence is, don’t let situations harden you, let them reveal your strength. Be natural, be who you are. The moment you start changing according to the situations around you, you unconsciously start adding layers of problems. Many times, you flow into this without even realizing it, and one day you end up asking yourself, “How did this happen?” We recently saw a patient who was a very good singer. She came to us with an issue in her vo...

  Your kindness is your biggest strength… As we are about to celebrate our 79th Independence Day, let’s decide to make a change. Let’s be a little kinder than we are today. It is said that kindness never goes to waste. I know it takes courage to be kind, but I also know that we, as Indian citizens, have that courage. We are a nation blessed endlessly by our gods and goddesses. We can bring change simply by adding a little more kindness to our daily lives. Recently, I heard an advertisement on the phone. It began by talking about disasters, sudden deaths, and the importance of securing our families through insurance, mutual funds, banking facilities, and more. While these are important, I wondered, why start on such a negative note? Why not begin with positivity? Whatever happens in life, we all wish to remain safe and secure. If we focus on how best we can make wise investments, we can live a better and more beautiful life. This, in turn, will create positive waves in the universe....

CHANGE AGAINST RESISTANCE Someone said very aptly, “The world hates change, but that is the only thing that can bring change.” Change has come due to a revolution in every aspect of life. But which change is good and which change may not be good, people are not able to differentiate. Resistance to change is the biggest obstacle. But one must also be aware that change for the good is always painful. However, if you overcome it, it takes you to success. Recently, I saw many cases of youngsters, very young, having strokes. They are going through a lot of anxiety and stress. Why?? Maybe due to social media, a lot of competition, and comparison?? Expectations of oneself are also too high. They don’t have patience for any situation and are aggressive. Whatever they need should be done in a short time. And one important thing observed is that they are very rigid in their approach. They don’t feel like changing. A resistance to change according to circumstances is not learned, or they don’t wa...

  Be Free… Truly Free... Be free, it is easy to say, difficult to follow. If you see any bird flying in the sky, we can say, "Wow! What a free bird!" If you see any animal running in the jungle, we may say, "Wow! What a life, they are free to run wherever they want!" They love nature; they are lost in nature fulfilling all the responsibilities as a creature. But we humans, can we, as individuals, say we are free and make others feel free? The truth is, being in this universe and utilizing all the resources or facilities developed by us has made us live in a concrete jungle rather than being free. I met one aunty recently who has been having hearing issues for many years but is happy wearing hearing aids and listens to everyone patiently. At the age of 91, she also says, "I still have to learn so many things in this universe. I’m enjoying each and every moment of life and believing in having a connection with the great Almighty." I feel this is the real wom...

Childhood isn't a race, it's a journey... I recently came across many youngsters who are falling sick, facing major illnesses, and experiencing a lot of stress in life, unable to balance physical and mental health. I felt the need to write on this topic. A boy who is 32 years old, a child of well-educated parents, pampered by his mother and grandmother, very aggressive, has one sister who is now married and has just graduated. All facilities were available, but he doesn’t feel like working. Suddenly, after a few years, he realizes he should work but doesn’t get a job. He feels like a failure and one fine day starts getting headaches, still continues eating junk food and having fun on the other side, while also taking medicines to handle mental issues. One fine day, he gets admitted to the hospital with a stroke and internal bleeding. What the family goes through... Still in the hospital, with stubbornness, he doesn't cooperate with doctors and due to that, he is not improvi...
