To discover the grace in your Life just look at what you have!

Only when you let go of all that you are clinging on to, will you receive whatever you need. It is in your unclinging, and opening the palms of your empty hands in surrender, that you invoke grace and abundance into your Life. That’s how Life works – no logic, all magic!

Abundance is a state of mind. It is about looking only at all that you have, feeling grateful for all of it and choosing to not complain about what you don’t have.

The human mind always pines for what isn't there. That is scarcity thinking. But all human progress and your Happiness lie in the celebration of what is there, in doing what is possible with whatever you have. That is resourcefulness. That is abundance thinking! Cheerfully, fearlessly, embrace this way of thinking, this way of Life…your Happiness will never let you down!

Practicing silence periods daily works for your mind in the same way that anti-virus software and firewalling protect your computer against virus attacks. Silence or mouna, practiced daily, helps prevent wasteful, debilitating, thoughts and emotions like anger, greed, jealousy, hatred, self-pity, self-doubt, guilt, fear, worry and such from invading your mind. mouna firewalls your thinking and helps you stay anchored – happily, peacefully, in the now.

The ability to drop anchor and find your center is the secret to thriving amidst chaos. Just like the place that’s in the eye of a cyclone is calm, you too can be calm when dealing with an upheaval or crisis. Find your center through a meditative, immersive, practice. Then, the whole world around you may be running amok, but you are unmoved, watching all the mindless circus. When you anchor and you are centered, you are unmoved.

When the cost of clinging on is higher than the cost of letting go, that’s when we will act, that’s when we often take decisive steps to change our Life.

Learn to pray for your detractors. Forgive them for what they have done to you and wish them good health and peace. It is very easy to love someone you like. But it is very difficult to love someone you don't agree with or relate to, or even, at times, hate. Praying for such people teaches you to dissolve hatred and embrace love. Important, you heal through this process. Try doing that. And see how happy and peaceful you begin to feel.

Life offers no security. The idea of security and certainty are a function of education and economic power. While both are important, neither can bring you Happiness. You are happy only when you are doing what you love doing. And that means you must be willing to go where Life is taking you. Uncertainty, adventure, journeying into the unknown…all these are an integral part of the process of Life!
