WORLD BACK UP DAY 31st MARCH

-
Today 31st March 2021 I got two notifications on my phone.

1.. From my calendar app saying that today is WORLD BACKUP DAY MAR 31ST...strange I was not aware of this.

2... The phone software said new updates are available. Please back up your data and update. Nothing unusual.

Suddenly a thought struck me - The dumb smartphone reminds me about updates and periodically tells me to back up my contents. 

Do we do this in our everyday life? Do we express our gratitude everytime? Do we thank our family, friends and acquaintances? Do we acknowledge the universe for what it has bestowed upon us?

The almighty has blessed us beyond measure.
Just like if we do not back up our data we stand to lose our valuable information. The same applies to our relationships too. Isn't it?

May you back up everyday.

THE REAL LAXMI

-
(In the Hindu religion, LAXMI is the Goddess of wealth) " I am Laxmi", she said. I simply looked at her! The contradiction of her name reflected in her attire. Dark skin, crumpled clothes with loud colors, a large bindi adorning her forehead. Laxmi had come to take care of the additional work in my house. She had a son and daughter-in-law, barely in her forties. “My parents married me off very early Memsahab," she said, sipping her tea. She was an early riser. 6.35 am and she would be at the door. At times I felt guilty ... jealous too! My inflated ego of corporate life would deflate before her professionalism. The utensils would be shining, her cleaning was neat and she went about her chores like the formulated excel sheets in my laptop, utmost precision... Weeks passed, I returned home from work one day, to some commotion at my building. An elderly lady had passed away. Neighbors paid condolences and the cremation took place after 2 days. Their children came from abroa

Borrowing Strength Builds Weakness

-
Borrowing strength builds weakness   is a concept that hit close to home with me. When you borrow strength from others, you build weakness in your own character.    And just to be clear, we’re not talking about   effective delegation . Trying to do everything yourself is not only ineffective and impractical, but it’s selfish and just plain wasteful.  What we’re talking about here is the idea of staying within your comfort zone, avoiding risk, calling it quits too early, asking for help before you really   try , letting your inner weakness take over before you allow your inner strength the opportunity to build you up for the next time, etc. One of the realities of life is that challenge, struggle, and difficulty will always turn up on your path.  You can count on it.  And what we’re here to remind you of today, is that the other reality of life is that you always have 100% control over your mindset and how you choose to handle those challenges, struggles, and difficulties when

WORDS - Healer & Dealer

-
Words hold the power to destroy, but they also hold the power to create.  This is because words do more than define our experiences.  In many cases they actually create them. Help me finish the following phrase: “If you can’t say something nice…” That’s right: “don’t say anything at all.”  Most of us only think of that phrase in terms of how we talk to others.  But what about how we talk to ourselves?  If we say something nice to ourselves, it can be wonderful, encouraging, uplifting.  And if we say something negative or critical or depressing to ourselves, it can be absolutely devastating. What about that little voice that lives inside all of us?  You know what I’m talking about.  Listen.  I bet you can hear it right now:  “What voice?  I don’t have a little voice.  This Sean guy is crazy.  I ate too much and feel bloated.  I’m tired.  That girl over there doesn’t like me.  Did I leave the stove on? Yeah, that voice.  It’s constantly talking to us.  During the day it chatters i
