Take a Heed :

—When you hear ‘doing more with less’, two ideas click you. The two proponents in school of thoughts are:

• —Spiritual point of view for Life
• —Personal point of view

 Spiritual Aspect:

 How do you define what is ‘more’ or how do you define what is ‘less’?

• A Ten Rupee Note is ‘less’ for me but ‘more’ for a beggar living across the street.
• I’m not happy with even 1 crores of rupees but the beggar, being a small businessman, is sufficed with Rs. 20.

—An Insight: 

• —The terms ‘more’ or ‘less’ are not determinable.
• —Not definable in terms of capital, or, size of industry.
• —Holds true on both ends: customer side and business side.

An Example: —

—

• —As a customer, I go to a 5 Star Hotel and ask for free water, free tea, free lunch, free dinner, free internet.
• —Even free drinks!
• —Where To Stop?
• —Not sufficed by whatever being offered to me.

Art Of the Trade:

—

The contentment depends on:

• —Upbringing,
• —Spiritual thinking,
• —Type of business,
• —Type of philosophy in business,
• —Goals set-up.

Everyone and everybody wishes to be happy. Seeks to prosper.

So, where to find happiness, felicity? How to be happy?

——

—Happiness is here. Happiness is Today . Happiness is Now. Happiness is not Tomorrow.

Illustrations:

• —Enjoy that you are sitting here reading this article.
• —There are people who are dating , meeting PM, adoring Almighty in temples, but still not enjoying the moment. Not happy. Busy On Mobile Phones, talking with nearby persons, cribbing temple/place alleged bad points.
• —Youngsters aspire for a job to be happy, joyous. But when they get the job, they are unhappy (Boss, room, desk not good).

Prosperity is also comparative.

• —Things needed for human survival: food, air to breathe and place to sleep.
• —You will sleep only if and when you are sleepy or sleep comes to you..anywhere anytime…nothing needed…
• —You can have a gold/jewel decorated bed, a gold plate, but at the end of the day, you need 5 by 3 feet only to sleep, you need food to eat so as to satiate your hunger.

Hence prosperity is what we expect, and, how we define happiness.

—

• —You cannot make me happy or unhappy. Neither can I make you happy or unhappy.
• —Variables are same: $ 5m do not make me happy.
• —Any humiliation does not upset me. Because ‘I do not think of it as a humiliation”.

—Its all in mind. Its how you react to any given situation…

—

• —Failures too do not affect me.
• —Yet to see a failure.
• —Even if I fail, I do not see it as a shortcoming, depressing , demotivating event. Because I know if I was not able to get something done in one way, I still have other ways to try.
• —Albert Einstein – “I have not failed, I have just found 10000 ways that don’t work.”

Personal Aspect:

—What about me personally ??

• —Me and my body
• —My past Karmas and ways of doing Karmas
• —My health, state of mind, peace,
• —Love and Sex most talked & less confused
• —My work and life balance
• —MY stress management
• —My utilization of time
• —My energy levels
• —My friends
• —Meditation

Thoughts are endless, Ideas are endless,  Talks are endless!!

So are you confused and have a question?
