All of us have problems. A problem is a problem, until we find a solution for it. But most of the times, we think or assume that our problems are our obstacles in life. Don’t we??? 😲 I would like to start with a story. Once upon a time, there lived a king who was very generous with his people. One day the King had a boulder placed on a roadway through which people often pass. He then hid himself and watched to see if anyone would move the boulder out of the way. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many people loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them did anything about getting the stone out of the way. A poor farmer then came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the farmer laid down his burden and tried to push the stone out of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. The farmer then went back to pick up his vegeta

W e often spend time to know what our talents are and concentrate on how to develop our skill sets to achieve great heights. That’s good! But…. Are only these technical skills enough for our life? Not definitely, There are other interesting and important set of skills required for everyone to be a complete human. They are the “ LIFE SKILLS ” .

You may come up with a big list - not being able to lose that extra weight, not being able to apologize to someone for a mistake that has been made, not being able to afford something that you desperately need, not being able to effectively discipline your kids, not being able to control your anger, anxiety, frustrations that make you feel absolutely miserable, not being able to make money, etc. I tell you my friends, Problems are uninvited guests in our lives.

It’s easier to just live a carefree life without having to deal with problems, right?   OK  now, How to think when you face a problem? 1.      First as

# Parenting   Once when I went to my daughter’s school, I had chance talking to other mothers there. One particular lady came to me asking for parenting tips. She started complaining about the child that the child is not listening to her, not at all doing her works properly, scoring very low marks in tests, teacher complaining about her and so on. She was bursting out of frustration. I stopped her and asked what the age of the child was. She told she was talking about her younger daughter who was just 4 yrs old. Most of us find difficulty handling kids in our family. Am not gonna tell you anything new, but then reminding few things that you can follow. 1.     Do not compare : Each child is created differently. They have their own ability, strengths and talents. Even with siblings, it is not good to compare. This pushes your child into a complex. Love all your children equally. Give importance to all your children equally. And comparing with others is not going to he

We see so many friends who have done great achievements in their school life, in sports and in academics, but who are now wasting their lives just like that.  We see so many people who already enjoyed victory is nowhere in light today. Have you ever thought why this happens? " GIVING UP " You may find yourself alone, broken, unemployable, and quickly losing everything you had that you worked your entire life to earn. Despite going through hard times, just realize who you are? What you want to be in your life? What pushed you all these days? You had dreams. You wanted to see success. You wanted to win.   Did you only dream or had a desire to pursue it. If you didn’t see any progress to your dream, it means you have already buried your dreams. Do you know why you gave up? You started finding excuses, you started blaming others, you started to listen to others who de-motivated you and most importantly you started doubting yourself. Here

#SUCCESS  SUCCESS means different things to different people.  For some people it may be financial  💸  achievement, like becoming a millionaire for example.  For a sportsperson, it may be trophies, championships and medals  🏆.   For some, it can simply mean being in a state of wellness – being healthy and staying happy🙋. There are few elements every successful people have or they follow to be successful. 1.  Set your Goal      Setting goals are really important. If you don’t know where you are going, you end up going somewhere you don’t want to go. Decide your goals. Define exactly what you want. Define your end goal. Strive really hard to reach your goal. Have strength and purpose to keep going even if you break down at any point. 2.  Take responsibility Take complete responsibility for all the successes and failures that you face. If something does not work out, don’t blame others or find excuses.  Instead learn  lessons from your failure.
