Miracle happens

Miracle happens

For most of us, it is very easy to accept or reject this tool or value “Miracle Happens” because of our own beliefs but can we study this without any liking or disliking, acceptance or non acceptance about this (those who can’t please check value “how I do one thing, I do everything”).

Let us see what is the dictionary definition of word “Miracle”

“an unusual and mysterious event that is thought to have been caused by a god because it does not follow the usual laws of nature

or

an extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore attributed to a divine agency.”

In both the definitions, it is something, which is beyond the natural logic or understanding of human being, so it is attributed to some one sitting up there. We don’t know he (or she) is sitting up or down but since we value word “Up” more than the word “Down”, it’s nice to say sitting up.

If it is really beyond understanding then concept of “someone there” is also a mystery. Let us see imagine how our cavemen ancestor’s came up with this concept.

Initially, it was daily life was just a fight for survival. At this stage, we as cavemen knew for sure that we did not create anything that is already there. So who created this? May be, there is someone who is more powerful and bigger than me who has done this but who cares? I need to fill my stomach and save my life from animals.

Slowly, we shifted to upper scale of social structure and moved into tribes, communities and this lead to systematic formation of religion. Since with this system, our survival was taken care and so “creator” started having good time. People started acknowledging him, praying him and asking for wishes.

This is our personal choice whether to believe or not to believe in this but one thing we cannot deny that there are so many things in this universe that we don’t really understand. People can fly would seem like a miracle to people who were born around a century ago and happened to visit this planet again.

So, can we say that something, which, we don’t understand is beyond our current level of logic and understanding but that, does not necessarily mean that does not exist? We also have lot of experiences of things in life which just happened to us out of no where as if it was a miracle.

When we apply our another value “How I do one thing, I do everything”, everything seem like falling in place like a miracle. So let’s celebrate everything that we don’t understand and say loudly “Miracle Happens”

  

It’s my Trump Card

It’s my Trump Card

My Trump Cards:

• I was stuck in traffic
• My family don’t support me
• I want to do it but not this time
• I will do this once I have money
• It’s not my kind of thing                                                                       list goes on and on….

A papplu or trump card is my very “GENUINE” reason for not doing something. 

It is so very genuine that I have started believing it to be real but somewhere deep down, I know whenever I use trump card, I feel disempowered. Although it seems to work in every situation but some how it limits my growth in many other areas of life.  And you know what, I don’t have just one but many. In fact last time I counted; it was around 167. How about you?

What’s your trump card for not being Happy?

With Love,

One of you (Who…How does that matter?)

Why we need to learn “Happiness”

Why we need to learn “Happiness”

When we utter the word Happiness, everyone think of it as a state of mind, feeling or an emotion derived from some outside experience but when asked where is happiness, every one points inside. Thanks to Self-help books, people know happiness is an inside job but still everyone is endlessly looking for it outside. So instead of happiness, this basic conflict is causing more confusion and thus more unhappiness in everyone’s life.

If we simply look at happiness, it means that when things happen as one expects or better than expected, one feels happy. The problem is that most of our expectations are unconsciously set and we are not even aware of it. So meeting such expectations all the time is out of question.

The only thing that is in our control is our ability to handle our own self. What we call as self is nothing but set of expectations, beliefs and values that are not even created by us, so we are not even aware of most of these but this is what that is driving our life.

So people have no choice to create their own happiness. Due to this, most of the people today are easily angry, frustrated or irritated. They are constantly under stress and anxiety that is leading to lot of health problems like Blood pressure, cardiac problems, diabetes and all other kind of lifestyle dis-eases.

There is lot of medical evidence to prove that when one is under constant fight or flight state. Due to this, blood start flowing toward arms and legs, so vital organs don’t get enough blood supply that causes all health related problems. This fight and flight is not because of some real external threat but small events of day-to-day life. For example, getting late for work, traffic, being impatient while waiting for elevator etc.

Earlier, this aspect of lives was taken care by religion but it is not happening with the current generations. In fact current generations are the most comfortable and technologically advanced so far but are they the happier ones?

Happiness Practitioner workshop is a 2 days experiential workshop on Science of Happiness which looks at this in a very scientific yet very experiential way. Science and Happiness seems like 2 words from different dimensions, one representing mind and other heart. One represents logic and other emotion; one is based on evidence and other on experience. So Science of Happiness is best of both the worlds.
