Every human life has duration , quality, and meaning.

While one can’t do anything about the length, the duration , one can definitely do something every day about the width, the quality and depth, the meaning of life.

That’s why it’s said that you can’t add years to your life, however, you can definetjy add life to your years.

Every day is a beautiful day for us, no matter what we are going through.

Just like sunshine and rain are integral parts of life , so is joy and pain.

Blessed are those who have learned to be grateful for both.

Every day is a beautiful day just because it comes in our lives as the supreme power grants it to us.

May you remember to add more life to this day. And increase the width by increasing the breadth of experiences and opportunities we encounter.

We have a degree of control over this aspect.

By seeking out diverse experiences, learning, and embracing new challenges, we can broaden the “width” of our life.

This can include exploring different cultures, pursuing various interests, and fostering a wide range of relationships.

You can enrich the width of your life by trying new things, traveling, engaging in hobbies, and seeking out diverse friendships and experiences.

This breadth adds variety and excitement to your life, making it feel more fulfilling and dynamic.


May you also remember to enhance the “depth” in your life, which relates to the depth of our emotional and intellectual experiences. It’s about the profoundness of our connections, our personal growth, and the depth of our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

We have a substantial influence on this aspect through self-reflection, personal development, and meaningful relationships.

The depth of your life can be enhanced by pursuing your passions, practicing mindfulness, and nurturing deep, meaningful relationships.

It’s about delving into your interests and emotions, leading to a more profound understanding of yourself and a richer emotional life.

May you remember that the teachings from Vedic scriptures emphasize the importance of leading a life of purpose, self-realization, and spiritual growth.

They provide valuable guidance on how to make life wider and deeper by aligning one’s actions and intentions with higher principles and values.

Ultimately, the goal is to attain a sense of inner fulfillment and a deeper understanding of the nature of existence. And in turn lead a rich quality life with meaning.

May you remember that by continuing to add more width and depth to your life and by having your intentions and actions aligned to higher priciples and values , you keep being better and keep creating better things to keep enhancing joy abundance and well being in your life and your world.

Lead a rich and meaningful life by adding width and depth to your life everyday

A joyful life is one where an individuals dreams and desires are realised by achieving pre-defined goals.

Personal leadership is necessary to achieve such goals with integrity and determination.

Before one is ready to lead externally, one must be leading oneself effectively.

Kautilya an ancient Indian philosopher, teacher, economist, and political strategist in his work Arthashastra, has emphasized the importance of personal leadership to gain competency in not only state craft and governance but also in leading personal lives.

As per Kautilya, also known as chanakya , strong leadership in personal life comes from self-awareness, knowing what ones strengths, weaknesses, values, and goals are , and is absolutely critical.

This is followed by clear goal setting and a clarity of purpose. Knowing why you want to do what you intend to do is very important.

Then comes discipline. Strong leadership, whether in a nation or an individual’s life, requires discipline.

Chanakya advocated for self-discipline and self-control.

In personal life, this translates to managing your time, finances, and habits effectively.

Chanakya furthur advocates , ethical conduct, courage and confidence , resilience, relationship building , taking calculated risks, and continuous learning as an integral part of personal leadership.

May you realise the importance of personal leadership in having the ability to build great individuals, families , organisations, institutions, and nations.

The first step starts with the self.

May you by having this understanding and insights keep building a beautiful life and keep achieving your goals and keep realising your dreams and desires to continuously keep enhancing joy abundance and well-being in your life and your world.

Always be ficussed on cultivating and harnessing personal leadership to build a joyful and beautiful life.

Be a Truth Seeker to build a beautiful life http://divineflame.in/2023/08/25/be-a-truth-seeker-to-build-a-beautiful-life/ http://divineflame.in/2023/08/25/be-a-truth-seeker-to-build-a-beautiful-life/#respond Fri, 25 Aug 2023 03:33:28 +0000 http://divineflame.in/?p=188 A beautiful life is built by leadership of the self.

A beautiful life is built by leadership of the self. Maximum understanding of the self and of the real and the unreal helps in making the right decisions, creating better things, and fostering deep meaningful relations.

Leadership of the self comes from being a Truth Seeker.

Truth Seekers are individuals who actively seek to uncover, understand, and pursue the truth in various aspects of life, whether that’s related to philosophical, scientific, religious, or personal matters.

They often question conventional beliefs, critically analyze information, and engage in introspection to arrive at their own conclusions.

Truth seekers value evidence, open-mindedness, and a willingness to challenge their own assumptions in their pursuit of deeper understanding and knowledge.

Truth seekers fall in the category of wise people, as explained by a great author, who said that fools are those who think they are wise , while those are the wise ones who believe themselves to be fools.

The lyrics of a very popular song resonate with the same idea, when it says the more I learn, the less I know about before.

Truth seekers know very well that the greater the understanding they get , the more they find how ignorant they were.

May you know that being a Truth Seeker helps you do things better because you create a positive impact, foster growth, and guide yourself and everyone around you toward success.

May you also know that the ancient vedic scriptures associate Dharma, Satya, Ahimsa, Viveka, and Seva apart from other aspects with truth seekers.

If you try to listen deeply, seek to understand better, aim to discern the real from the unreal , try to gain more knowledge and question the norms, you will start living a life in Dharma , which is the righteous path where you make just and ethical decisions that benefit the greater good.

You will also start to follow Satya , which is speaking and upholding the truth, as it leads to trust and harmony.

You would follow Ahimsa, non-violence, where everything is resolved peacefully and an atmosphere of non-agression is created.

You will also experience enhanced Viveka, which refers to discernment or discrimination between the real and the unreal. Which helps you make informed choices, distinguishing between short-term gains and long-term benefits.

Finally, you indulge in Seva, or selfless service, which leads to prioritizing the well-being of others.

May you thetefore remember that by being a Truth Seeker you become wiser , more peaceful and more successful and you continuously keep creating better things keep getting better and keep enhancing abundance joy and well being in your life and your world.

May you keep living a life being a Truth Seeker and practicing self leadership to create and live a beautiful life

Living the extraordinary life in Dharma and by transcending pain and suffering http://divineflame.in/2023/08/12/living-the-extraordinary-life-in-dharma-and-by-transcending-pain-and-suffering/ http://divineflame.in/2023/08/12/living-the-extraordinary-life-in-dharma-and-by-transcending-pain-and-suffering/#respond Sat, 12 Aug 2023 02:43:48 +0000 http://divineflame.in/?p=178 There’s an ordinary life and an extraordinary life, individuals choose which one they want to […]

There’s an ordinary life and an extraordinary life, individuals choose which one they want to live.

The ordinary life is when one is able to provide adequately for oneself and one’s family, while the extraordinary life is when one is able to go beyond and serve others too.

The more one is able to serve, the more extraordinary a life is.

This all begins from self care. The first step is to serve yourself first , imagine a more healthy you, a more powerful and more connected and more wealthy you.

When you are more, you can serve more.

However, one must know beforehand what one is going to become in the process of being more.

The vedic scriptures provide a compass for this called Dharma , the path of righteousness, living life ethically, and with responsibility aligned with the highest universal values and principles.

The eastern wisdom also provides the foundation on which a successful growing and serving life is based.

May you know that an extraordinary life learns and practices to transcend pain and suffering.

May you remember that pain is a necessary and important element in preserving and maintaining life, which is contained in the body.

Pain tells you what’s wrong with your body, and either it self heals or you need to take available care for its healing.

According to Buddha, while pain is an inherent part of life due to physical and emotional experiences, suffering is the mental and emotional response to that pain.

He believed that suffering is caused by our attachment, desires, and aversions, which create a cycle of dissatisfaction and discontentment.

Buddha’s teachings are aimed to help individuals understand the nature of suffering, its causes, and how to transcend it by changing one’s relationship with pain and cultivating a state of mental clarity and equanimity.

An extraordinary life is built in spite of the mandatory pain and by transcending suffering

May you by understanding the impermanent nature of life including pain , keep transcending suffering and keep building an extraordinary life following your Dharma and keep creating the impact you are supposed to create on the world, and keep enhancing abundance joy and well being in your life and in your world.

May you always be living and building an extraordinary life everyday
