Life is all about facing and overcoming challenges. And our problems are not problems , only our inappropriate reactions to problems are the problems.

In fact it’s not only about problems , some people walk on this earth just to be offended, and they find thousand reasons to be offended every day, someone doesn’t hold the knife n fork the way they think is correct, or someone dresses in a certain way that offends them , someone says something , or there is garbage next to the road or the way someone else is driving on the road, they get offended and resentful.

Let’s always remember that there are no justified resentments in this world and let’s not get offended even if someone abuses us , because Buddha said that if offering is offered to God and He doesn’t accept whom does the offering belong to , similarly if we don’t accept bad words aimed for us then those words only belong to the one saying them.

Let’s remember that we can never control what happens to us , however, the only thing we may control is our reactions, and that’s why it’s called responding.

We have the power and the ability to respond.

Stevan Covey wrote that we are responsible for everything that’s happening in our lives, which means we are response – able.

We have the power to choose a response and that’s why we must not choose to get offended or being resentful or angry as it’s said that if we are angry because of someone else’s mistake it’s like we are holding a red hot coal in our hand which is going to only harm us.

Life is leading ourselves from one problem into another , and the beauty of life lies in solving problems one by one and moving ahead in life, enjoying the journey.

May we keep exercising our power of discretion and choice and keep responding appropriately to what happens in our lives and keep moving ahead with excitement and enthusiasm, enjoying every moment.

Lets lead an appropriately responsible day everyday

The Four pillars of the life of a Karmayogi who makes life happen the way its desired http://divineflame.in/2024/02/22/the-four-pillars-of-the-life-of-a-karmayogi-who-makes-life-happen-the-way-its-desired/ http://divineflame.in/2024/02/22/the-four-pillars-of-the-life-of-a-karmayogi-who-makes-life-happen-the-way-its-desired/#respond Thu, 22 Feb 2024 03:17:38 +0000 http://divineflame.in/?p=263 The path of super achievers , the small minority who are making life the way […]

The path of super achievers , the small minority who are making life the way they want, is a path of fixating their minds on what they want.

Continuously focussed on the desired outcome.

Working consistently and swiftly and doing what’s needed to achieve the firmed up defined and imagined result.

And having unwavering conviction that whatever desired would be done without fail.

This is how the believers and the achievers and the doers and the givers think and act.

In the eastern scriptures, these people are called karmayogis.

The four pillars defined for this in the vedic scriptures are Sankalpa , Dhyana, Karma, and Shraddha.

When a karmayogi takes a sankalpa, often it’s done as a ritual through a priest at a gathering , and sometimes the Sankalpa is taken privately without even telling anyone..

Then the karmayogi gets into Dhyana often , sometimes meditating and often simply contemplating and reflecting on the sankalpa and assessing what has been done and what’s needed furthur to be done.

That’s being engaged in Karma, which says every action has a consequence, so if one takes actions, things move in the direction of the sankalpa, and you don’t take actions , there is no movement.

The karmayogi also has Shraddha the faith within and the faith in a higher energy, which will help the karmayogis fulfill their sankalpa.

And that’s how the doer the achiever the giver and the believer lives life.

Continuously taking firm resolves always focussed on them taking massive actions towards their fulfillment and always believing that what is asked will be given.

May you therefore understanding these four pillars and practicing the disciplines needed keep dreaming keep resolving and keep achieving to keep making life happen the way you want and keep living life of a karmayogi to keep growing and keep enhancing joy abundance and well being in your life and your world.

Keep living life like the karmayogi and keep making it happen the way you want

Live with a sense of urgency while continuously pursuing material and spiritual goals http://divineflame.in/2024/01/17/live-with-a-sense-of-urgency-while-continuously-pursuing-material-and-spiritual-goals/ http://divineflame.in/2024/01/17/live-with-a-sense-of-urgency-while-continuously-pursuing-material-and-spiritual-goals/#respond Wed, 17 Jan 2024 08:19:10 +0000 http://divineflame.in/?p=246 A human life is a privileged life.

A human life is a privileged life.

With the faculties of discretion and choice, we can choose to grow every day both in our material pursuits and our spiritual journey.

As per vedic scriptures we are spiritual beings having a human experience and our salvation is in growing our spirits to become one with the creator himself refrred to as Braham.

The vedic scriptures, however, also mention the need for material pursuits when it talks about four Purushartha, or pursuits.

Dharma Artha Kama and Moksha.

Artha is one of the central aims of human life. It translates to “wealth,” “means,” or “goal” in Sanskrit. Artha encompasses the pursuit of resources necessary for a fulfilling life, including food, shelter, education, security, and health.

This pursuit should be grounded in ethical principles and respect for nature.

Artha involves striving for economic stability and prosperity, both for oneself and for one’s family and community. It encourages productive engagement in work and society.

Artha promotes the ability to live independently and with dignity, free from dependence on others. This includes financial security, physical well-being, and personal safety. the pursuit of Artha should not be driven by greed or a desire for excess.

It should be balanced with Dharma (righteousness) and Kama (pleasure) to avoid harming oneself or others.

May you remember that growth in both material and spiritual realms must have a sense of urgency as life is passing by every moment, and every moment we are nearing the end of our earthly journey.

Let’s utilise it well with a super sense of urgency in enriching our lives with material goals and enriching our spirits with spiritual progress.

Yesterday is history, and today will also be gone before we know it.

May you remember that we all have dreams, desires, and aspirations, and those who realise them are continuously growing and progressing, and that’s the central aim of human existence.

May you therefore cultivate a sense of urgency which will happen by having a sense of purpose , imagining the enhanced existence , having discipline , getting uncomfortable frequently, avoiding distraction and being focussed and living in gratitude.

May you ever keep growing and becoming better with a sense of urgency and may you keep enhancing joy abundance and well being in your life and your world.

Have a life lived in sense of urgency.

Personal leadership is must before leading externally and living a joyful life http://divineflame.in/2023/09/03/personal-leadership-is-must-before-leading-externally-and-leading-a-joyful-life/ http://divineflame.in/2023/09/03/personal-leadership-is-must-before-leading-externally-and-leading-a-joyful-life/#respond Sun, 03 Sep 2023 04:51:21 +0000 http://divineflame.in/?p=203 A joyful life is one where an individuals dreams and desires are realised by achieving […]

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.

Our Destiny is made in the Moments of our Decisions and Choices http://divineflame.in/2023/06/09/our-destiny-is-made-in-the-moments-of-our-decisions-and-choices/ http://divineflame.in/2023/06/09/our-destiny-is-made-in-the-moments-of-our-decisions-and-choices/#respond Fri, 09 Jun 2023 06:55:40 +0000 http://divineflame.in/?p=96 Life is a journey filled with milestones, dreams, desires, hopes, aspirations, and ambitions.

Life is a journey filled with milestones, dreams, desires, hopes, aspirations, and ambitions.

From the moment we gain the ability to comprehend our existence, we start envisioning our future.

Each day, our actions and decisions shape our destiny.

Every choice we make, no matter how big or small, contributes to the path we follow.

It is through these moments of decision that our destiny is formed.

Our life is built through these moments of choices , and that’s why taking decisions or deciding to not take one is so important in life.

We are what our choices are.

May you remember that every decision we take propels us forward, like a divergent road in a forest.

Each path we embark upon carries its own set of experiences, lessons, and outcomes. The choices we make become the stepping stones that guide us towards our desired destination.

May you also remember that every decision involves letting go of countless alternative realities. The roads not taken, the dreams left unexplored, all exist as tantalizing possibilities shimmering in the background of our chosen path.

Through our decisions and choices, we become conscious co-creators of our destiny, and with each decision, we carve our unique narrative, contributing to our life’s unique experience.

Our dreams, aspirations, and ambitions guide us, serving as compasses to navigate the vast ocean of possibilities.

May you know that life is a delicate balance between seizing opportunities and accepting the consequences of our choices.

By understanding the power of decisions, we can craft a reality that aligns with our deepest desires.

May you, therefore, always remember that as we navigate through life’s ups and downs, our destiny unfolds before us, constantly evolving. It is up to us to embrace the opportunities that come our way and make conscious choices aligned with our vision.

With determination, resilience, and a clear sense of purpose, we can shape our destiny and strive towards a fulfilling and meaningful life.

May you have the wisdom to keep making the best decisions at the best time to keep co- creating your destiny and keep enhancing joy abundance and well-being in your life and your world.

Have a taking best decisions and making the best choices day in all moments
