Telling People What To Do

Telling people what to do, generally doesn't produce fruit. When you can help individuals connect and feel supported and cared for, the motivation becomes more rampant than ever.

Out There To Get You?

Nobody is out there to get you. People attack because they feel scared, insecure, detached, isolated, lonely. People are angry because they cannot feel love. People are depressed because they don't see how they are part of everything and everything is part of them. The remedy to all this suffering is love, connectedness and embrace.

The Third Ingredient for Change

Knowledge and wisdom alone does not trigger action. Motivation is required for the knowledge and wisdom to produce the fruit they are intended to produce - and this motivation is central for any change to proactively occur. Knowledge is the What, Wisdom is the How, and Motivation is what will make it happen.

An Inkling of The Extended Realm

Neither you nor I are at the centre of the universe, but in fact an inkling of an extended realm.  Not realising so will cause us much suffering.

Smile and Make Smiles Happen

I was walking to university this morning when I saw a man smiling. The thought that he was smiling for no reason rubbed off his smile on me, then I was smiling - I looked back and realized he was smiling because he he had seen his partner in the distant behind me. That didn't change the fact that his smile had already rubbed off on me and I continued walking and smiling. The I realized the same phenomenon had happened to be a few years back when I saw a friend in the distant and smiled, and noticed strangers walking past were smiling at my smile. This phenomenon is mood contagion - it happens with negative moods, feelings and behaviors too. Lets use its positive effects. Lets smile today and make others smile too! You feel good, so will others, and its contagious !!! Challenge: Can you have all your colleagues smiling by the end of today? :)
