#Happiness has a lot of significance in our lives. We focus most of our life doing VERY BIG THINGS like setting up a business, getting a good job, earning lots of money, building a multi-storey house, achieving dreams/lifegoals etc. to accomplish such happiness. That’s really great but realizing that with VERY SMALL ACTIVITIES also we can achieve cent percent happiness is worth living our life to the fullest.

We can define our own happiness. It's definition is different for each of us.  Right from morning till we go to sleep there are many things that can make us happy. 

  1. Waking our kids up with a sweet smile, greeting them a happy morning. 

  2. Embracing them after they return from school or after we return from work.

  3. Having a leisure dinner with family. 

  4. On Sunday, watching a movie on OTT or playing a game with our family. 

  5. Visiting a temple once in a while, sitting there for sometime peacefully with our family. 

  6. Talking on the phone with our parents at least for a minute daily to find how they are. 

  7. Watering a plant, watching a flower blooming in our garden, a bird/butterfly seeking the honey from a flower. 

  8. Listening to a favorite song and making small moves. 

  9. Reading a good book sitting on a balcony or lawn with a few plants around and sipping tea. 

  10. Telling a story or teaching something important to our children. 

  11. Walking and chit chatting on the terrace in the moonlight after dinner with your partner or kids or parents. 

  12. Cooking our favorite dish once in a while.

  13. Experiencing absolute positivity after dusting our home and performing our everyday ritual. 

***Sometimes making others happy will make us happy like 

  1. Visiting our parents or parent-in-laws or grandparents.

  2. Wishing someone on their birthday through a 2 min talk on phone. 

  3. Giving out a few food packets at least once in a year to the beggars on road.

  4. Forgiving who we didn't like gives more happiness than anything else. (My next article)


Many more like these. No end for it. You may have different list like exercising, travelling, Sports etc. Give yourself some time to write the list. If you feel lazy 😜then count them on your finger tips. Your list goes on increasing point by point and you recognize yourself as a super happy person. Let's not stop, let's keep updating our list by identifying such very small activities that give us a lot of happiness. It doesn't even cost us much right. Then why should we fail to make ourselves more and more happy? 😍 Let’s Live Life to the Fullest.

Learn, Unlearn, Relearn

  Learn, Unlearn, Relearn We might have heard alot about how important it is to be a consistent learner for being successful. But; Just not learning; it is in fact very important to unlearn and relearn. Unlearning is the secret sauce of personal growth. It clears space for new perspectives, ideas, and skills. When we embrace it, we can find ourselves evolving faster than ever. In this learning process, being agile and authentic has its own significance and makes us different from others. If we could be like a curious little child, we can absorb things and learn from anything, anyone, anywhere and anytime. Examples: [Projector teaches us to cast our ideas and goals onto a larger screen of life. It shares our visions, enlightening others and projecting a positive impact. Just like adjusting focus on a projector, clarity in our goals is key to a successful outcome.] [Lizards remind us of adaptability. They can change color to blend in or stand out, showcasing the importance of adjusting t

Threads of Freedom: Explorations by friends

By
  Meenakshi started reading a book “Freedom from the Known” authored by J Krishnamurti to understand his writings. The author had a great philosophical view, very skilled at expressing complex ideas. She enjoyed reading the book. Being free from whatever knowledge you have gathered, and all your experiences is the theme of the book. ‘Freedom’ is what caught her attention. She felt authors do not hold a monopoly on defining freedom. Everyone’s life journey contributes to their understanding of freedom. Freedom is a deeply personal and subjective concept, and it can be defined and understood differently by various individuals. So, she thought her school friends who are in early 40s can provide valuable insights into what freedom means based on their accumulated knowledge and life experiences. She believed the friends’ collective wisdom can offer a rich and relatable perspective on this profound concept. As the group of friends continued their quest to explore the various facets of free

The light from Diya - to  burn the negativity, to get purified, to find path towards goodness and to glow.

By
The duality of devil and divine exists in everyone. You should nurture the divine within you through self-awareness and get rid of the devil completely through self-reflection and self-purification. If the devil dominates the divine and if you allow negativity to overpower your inherent goodness, it destroys the beautiful inner garden. When you are on the devil side, don't ask where the divine is. It is just inside you. Self-introspect. Without Self-introspection, you may remain unaware of the root causes of your negativity. It can lead to a cycle of repeating negative patterns if you don’t understand and address them. Mind gets programmed due to the cycle of negative thoughts, actions, patterns and attracts negative energy. Self-awareness is a key to breaking this cycle, as it allows you to recognize, and challenge negative thoughts and behaviours, fostering personal growth and a more positive mindset. Along with self-awareness, self-improvement is very much important, developing
