How to overcome negativity in life?

The process of balancing life and coping with the negativity starts with the realization of 3 things

1st - That you really want to do it!
2nd -That You can do it!
3rd - That you are already doing it!

The regret of uncompleted tasks and unaccomplished goals is what wears us down and creates toxicity in our present life,


We keep on dangling between the guilt of missed deeds and anxiousness of uncertain future.

It is similar to the situation when one gets stuck in traffic, you can either accept the fact that you are stuck, and keep moving forward gradually with a happy mind or you can choose to grim over the traffic every few seconds and distort your mental peace, The choice is always ours, we don't realize that.

Suppose there is a rotten apple in a basket and its stinking, you can either choose to simply say its stinking once and move on or you can keep on singing its praises like a song for many many hours,

when you choose to talk about the negative experiences of life, you are in a way filling your brain with negative contexts and thoughts, and when that is the case, when the input is negative in context, you can never expect happiness or good emotions as an output.

This is the basic principle or operation for everything around us, you water a plant with acidic water, it would never bloom but die eventually, but if you nurture it with care and proper nutrition, it will bloom for days and years to come.

The point is not that we always have to have positive emotions and aspect towards everything in life, that is not possible at all, there will always be bad phases and certain amount of negative influence around us.

but if we can practice and choose to spend minimum time analyzing and talking about negative things in life, the amount of its influence on our consciousness will also decrease.

The life becomes easier not when we never get angry or upset, but when we overcome that state of negative emotion in the shortest span of time. that is what real control is about.

And that is how you can truly overcome the state of negative existence in life.

Live, Laugh, Love💓

Do you see what I see?

Do you see what I see? Definitely not! Even if we all look at the SAME thing, at the SAME moment, we cannot see the SAME thing. If we remove the scientific angle from the explanation and only try to understand the philosophical or experiential angle, we would know that it is impossible for two people to look at things in the precisely the same way. How we experience things, places and people around us depends on our past experiences, our mental status and a lot other internal things. Though we can try to relate with others around us in a similar settings, we never know what they must be feeling exactly, sometimes they themselves don't know. Having difference of opinion is completely normal, very rarely it will be the case that two individuals can completely agree on something, and we should understand and respect that without any ego or negative perception. We all have a different life philosophy, different goals, different learnings, We all cross paths with each other for a short ...

Root cause of Depression and Anxiety in life.

Someone asked Sri Sri Ravishankar (Gurudev) that - What to do when everything around us starts to feel like a dream and superficial? This is what Gurudev answered with- When everything starts to appear superficial and dreamy, realize that you are waking up to the universe. When we are really woken up, everything do appears to be a long dream, and that is the true reality. When we all accept that everything around us is momentary and transactional we will wake up to a new paradigm of wisdom in life. The life full of happiness and contentment. The life with a bigger perspective. When the life has no set goals, it feels empty and meaningless, and gives way to depression and anxiety. But when you have bigger goals in life like, working to make this world and environment better than before, so that the planet is still healthy and livable when the next generation arrives, it will give you a sense of purpose and meaning in life. The lack of direction and purpose in life is the root cause of d...

Why I started writing this blog?

Ever since childhood I have been told by my parents and grandparents that whatever you do in life, just make sure that you never hurt someone or never succeed at the cost of others happiness. This thought has been the basis of my entire life. At the very core I have always tried to be a good man, someone who can be looked upon, someone who is a problem solver and not creator in others lives.  Then came a phase in my life when I started questioning everything around me, every person who was a part of my life seemed like a negative influence, every talk that I got involved in only led me down the path of spiraling negativity and I lost control of my own thoughts. It was the time when I had the deepest realizations, most of them eventually never made sense after a while but some of them had a life changing impact on my thought process and personality. I realized how people can be perceived just opposite of what they stand for, how our mind plays trick and fills the gap with negative t...
