25/12/2020, 12:57 - Raman Bharadwaj: A peaceful life is not one that is free of stress, frustrations, disappointments, expectations, anger, jealousy, suffering or responsibilities.

It is one in which , a person is able to go to bed , most of the nights, knowing that

1) He'd delivered his best with the available resources

2) He'd continued his efforts despite having people who would understand, if he had stopped.

3) He'd leashed his tongue, even when situations would have justified his lashings, if he hadn't.

 

25/12/2020, 12:57 - Raman Bharadwaj: When people laugh at themselves when there's no reason other than to make someone else feel comfortable, that's their maturity!

When people laugh at themselves before someone else gets a chance to, to diffuse the situation, that's their self defence mechanism!

When people laugh at themselves with someone else who care too much about them to judge them, that's their release and relaxation!

 

25/12/2020, 12:58 - Raman Bharadwaj: Many people live without realising, when or how they become hindrance or bothersome, to others. Some are aware, but don't care enough to do anything about it. Very few, go out of the way, as to not hinder or bother others but, it is these people who get jostled all over the place!

25/12/2020, 12:58 - Raman Bharadwaj: Words are powerful. Words can make or break. Words can hurt or heal. Words can begin or end...

Surprisingly, substituting 'Words' with 'Silence' can do exactly the same.

So, Silence & Words both have to be used with great care and discretion, understanding the life context of the receiving person, in order for the expression of the thought or the feeling, to be effective.

25/12/2020, 12:58 - Raman Bharadwaj: When you're in trouble and are still able to smile - those who like you will admiringly say, "look at him,smiling despite these issues!", so,keep smiling! Surprisingly, those who dislike you could also say the same words, mockingly! So what, keep smiling!!

25/12/2020, 12:59 - Raman Bharadwaj: Superior is that person who senses a friend is in need of money and offers it, before being asked for it. More superior is the person who senses a friend is in need of advice and does not offer it, until asked for it.

25/12/2020, 12:59 - Raman Bharadwaj: Whether at home or work, being organized is the first step towards prioritisation and peace. Being organized, is to have -  A place for everything and everything in its place; A time for everything and everything in that time; A space for everyone and everyone in that space.

25/12/2020, 12:59 - Raman Bharadwaj: Probably, the single most important skill, a person needs to live a peaceful and satisfied life would be ' Prioritisation Skill '. If this one skill is cultivated well, people would know what and just how much importance they should give other people, relationships, situations,skills,habits, events, tasks/activities , knowledge, information etc.

25/12/2020, 13:00 - Raman Bharadwaj: Sometimes, the very people whose feelings you've so carefully cared for - whose fight you've always fought, whose side you've always taken - are the very ones, who take yours very lightly!

25/12/2020, 13:02 - Raman Bharadwaj: Whether a person feels that he is being sensible or if he is being pushed to sacrifice, depends upon the speed with which and the extent to which he  accepts the reality of that moment.

 

The ability to take action on feedback given & the ability to laugh at oneself,even with others,are two great measures of high personal integrity!

Love, hope, compassion,  happiness,anger,curse, irritation, fear are some of the feelings or expressions, you can have for or give someone, without reducing from what you have given or 'kept' for someone else!

The time taken in reporting an issue, the validatability of the evidences on hand, the level of authority to which the 'complaint' is raised , the manner in which the case is presented and the track record of efforts made /resources spent in following up, form a complete picture on the core intention of the complaint raised!

Any person,who is asked to check if there is Rs.10,000 in a bundle counts and recounts till the last note in the bundle!

No one would count till about halfway , then stop counting saying that, since it was right till then, it would be right all the way to the end of the bundle!

I wonder why some people don't apply the same logic in tending to relationships!

I wonder how they stop nurturing the relationship midway and expect it to continue just fine forever!

When the problem is not theirs to solve or endure, when they don't have to face or live with the consequence of the decision made or to be made,the easiest thing for people to do,is to have an.opinion about it. The toughest thing for people to do is to keep their opinion to themselves!

25/12/2020, 13:02 - Raman Bharadwaj: Live while alive...

 

Somewhere between learning,

Toiling ,yearning,earning…

Somewhere between the triumph

And feeling down in the dumps…

Somewhere between the illness,

Physical,emotional wellnessness

Somewhere between the fears,

Hopes,laughs, joy and tears

Somewhere between hellos

And loss of known good fellows

Somewhere between the hugs,

Glares,swears,winks and shrugs,

Exists precious LIFE...

Observe , not just see

Listen,not just hear

Feel,not just think

Express,not just feel

Progress,not just move

Seek, not just wait

Enable, not just use

Give ,not just accept

Live, not just exist

Live while alive.

25/12/2020, 13:03 - Raman Bharadwaj: A good friend is a signpost, a microphone, a pair of binoculars, a scheduler,a charger, a window, a filter, a punching bag, an umbrella, an album, a panic button,a score board,a mirror,a bridge,a pair of oars, a dreamcatcher, a tonic, a shadow, a personal diary, a cup of chai and much more.

A good friend is a bit of yourself in another person.

Lucky are those, who have such a friend...

Blessed are those, who are such a friend.

Happy friendship day to all my friends out here!

God bless!

25/12/2020, 13:03 - Raman Bharadwaj: Not every ' thing ' can be classified as a materialistic item with a price tag. Sometimes, the greatest of love or emotions are only expressed in the form of things...

That shoe, a dad might have bought ,forgoing his diwali dress or that dress, a mom might have stitched overnight, not sleeping a wink or that watch , a spouse might have got with his first salary after the marriage...

These are all things. But, not materialistic, but priceless.

These acts are the ingredients that go into making great memories that last beyond lifetimes.

25/12/2020, 13:04 - Raman Bharadwaj: Statistically and otherwise too, a person who dislikes you - in a straightforward manner - whom you know for sure, will never be there for you , is anyday better than, a person who you think might be your friend,  but in such a way that, you can never really be sure as to whether you count on that person or not!

25/12/2020, 13:04 - Raman Bharadwaj: Sarcasm is a fine art. It's at its best, when it comes naturally.  It is one of the most epic creations of the human brain. It is an amalgamation of feelings, thoughts, timing, choice of words, body language and tone. Not everyone can be trained to embrace it, to convey themselves. Infact, not everyone can be trained to understand it, to defend themselves!

25/12/2020, 13:04 - Raman Bharadwaj: People who are not mindful, not only don't delight people who have emotional expectations from them, but also, are clueless about the mindfulness exhibited for them, by those very people.

25/12/2020, 13:04 - Raman Bharadwaj: A good friend can protect you from the hurt caused by other people taunting you. 

It takes that special friend, to protect you from the pain caused by you, daunting yourself !

25/12/2020, 13:05 - Raman Bharadwaj: Sometimes, the same people , who are our role models on ' how to be ' while treating people who are important to us, become role models on ' how not to be ' while treating people who are not (as) important!

 

25/12/2020, 13:06 - Raman Bharadwaj: Boundaries in relationships are not restrictive, rather, when clear, they are healthy , preventive of potential friction and hence, protective of the relationship.

25/12/2020, 13:07 - Raman Bharadwaj: Tears, certain memories, being alone, getting left out of laughter and fun, not having that one person around, who will make us talk it out -  These occurrences, which the mind recognises, as signalling 'sadness' , are sometimes, the same, it recognises as generating  'solace' !

When you feel the urge to yell at someone,count till 10.

In that duration, ask yourself, (a) Is the issue worth yelling for (b) Does the person deserve being yelled at (c) Is this environment suitable for an outburst. Yell, if your score is 3/3.

Otherwise, drink a glass of water. Talk things out with that person and fix the issue.

It's always about HOW you say it rather than WHAT you are saying. Let peace prevail!

If someone is afraid of people judging him,it could be either because he had done something wrong in the past, which he regrets today or because he does not fully appreciate, the blessings he has received from above.

25/12/2020, 13:07 - Raman Bharadwaj: The human hardware does get older. There is no stopping this. But the upgradation and virus protection of the software .... That is a matter of choice!

25/12/2020, 13:07 - Raman Bharadwaj: Seeking attention towards solving a problem , for a common cause,  is very different from 'creating a cause' out of an incident ,to gain attention. Unfortunately, those who receive such attention, lose respect.

25/12/2020, 13:07 - Raman Bharadwaj: Do something only if you believe in its purpose ,  after analysing its intended and unintended effects and the cost of reversing it , in the event of your wanting to or having to do so.

25/12/2020, 13:07 - Raman Bharadwaj: How we express disagreement or  put across an alternate opinion is a choice, that reflects on our persona and mentality, rather than, on the propounded thought or the person to whom it belongs!

25/12/2020, 13:08 - Raman Bharadwaj: It is easy to show understanding, give advice, offer situational support,be polite with and tolerate people who are neither listed in your ration card nor as your emergency contact persons !

25/12/2020, 13:08 - Raman Bharadwaj: Sometimes, clashes start between two sides, where one thinks he is a victim and the other is the victim. Over time,in the absence of intent, roles stabilize or reverse, clashes continue.

25/12/2020, 13:09 - Raman Bharadwaj: Most times, there are two visuals of a problem - one that is fact or truth based,sometimes demands effort to ascertain and the other, that is easier or more comfortable to believe in.

25/12/2020, 13:09 - Raman Bharadwaj: Everybody hears but very few listen. Showing signs of complete attention AND actually listening , are strong ways, to show a person, how much you  care for them! Sometimes, listening is all it takes,to mend a broken feeling...

25/12/2020, 13:09 - Raman Bharadwaj: Irresponsibility is never accidental. It is the sum total of poor upbringing, wrong social affinities, lack of right inspiration, inability to comprehend common  logic, absence of empathy towards fellow human beings, along with a strong sense of self infallibility.

25/12/2020, 13:09 - Raman Bharadwaj: Mostly, breakdown or failure, does not happen as one step outcome. It is the result ofprolonged negligence or ignorance, of symptoms of non alignment to standards or expectations, over a period of time.

25/12/2020, 13:10 - Raman Bharadwaj: Doing something which we usually do,that ends up in getting attention is very different from doing something that seeks attention, immaterial of how it is likely to end up.

Of the many kind of addictions in life, seeking attention mindlessly, is becoming the most dangerous one.

25/12/2020, 13:10 - Raman Bharadwaj: Faith and fear are mutually exclusive. Whenever the darkness called fear creeps into the heart, the light of faith has to flood it away.

25/12/2020, 13:11 - Raman Bharadwaj: There is a subtle difference between "I am sorry" and "I apologise". The former is expression of feeling bad and the latter is an admission of being the cause for that 'feeling'.

25/12/2020, 13:11 - Raman Bharadwaj: Being naive is to believe, what we see is what it is. Being experienced is to assume, what we see is never what it is. Being seasoned is to know when to trust and when to test.

25/12/2020, 13:11 - Raman Bharadwaj: Some people just don't understand challenges that they don't face, pains that they don't experience and passion that they don't have. Understand this and liberate yourself from having to explain and justify yourself,every single time!

25/12/2020, 13:11 - Raman Bharadwaj: Humanity is a virtue and a way of life. It thrives or withers in a person based on other virtues and values that person or his environment nurtures. The scarcity of humanity today is in a way, the result of unattended generation gap.

25/12/2020, 13:12 - Raman Bharadwaj: Sometimes, some people's cheery/kind disposition towards us is directly proportional to the actual or perceived quantum of use/help we can be for them! Sometimes it is inversely proportional to the actual or perceived negativity we cause them!

25/12/2020, 13:12 - Raman Bharadwaj: Consistent one word replies to someones' messages, specifically "Yep" or its variants,are a sure shot way of conveying to that person, that you are not interested in pursuing a conversation with them!

25/12/2020, 13:13 - Raman Bharadwaj: A true friend is a person who chooses to ...

 

Stand by you, even when it’s safer to move away

Trusts you , even though your story may fall short

Supports you, even if it means losing personal balance

Includes you, even if you are making it difficult for them to

Feels for you, even if you’re unaware of their own strifes

Misses you, even when they are amidst happy engagements

Cares for you, even if you are indifferent with them

Shares with you, even if it’s a sizeable portion of their need

 

A true friend is a rare find.

Blessed you are, if you have one.

More blessed you are, if you can be one.

25/12/2020, 13:13 - Raman Bharadwaj: People are different in the different roles they play in life. A good mother may not be necessarily a good mother-in-law. A good trainer may not be a good friend and so on. Once we recognise the individuals Attitude Behaviour Character (ABC) towards us, it becomes easy to accept them for who they are and that in turn, sets us free from potential disappointments and frustrations, as we move towards a positive and progressive future

25/12/2020, 13:13 - Raman Bharadwaj: People change. Needs change. Priorities change. They need to. This is called evolving.

Some changes would be in our favour while some might not. We may be enthusiastic about a few changes and reluctant about a few.

Nevertheless, the sooner we embrace the new reality of a situation or a person, the more peaceful and progressive we would be. Change afterall, is always a  constant in the unsolvable  equation of life.

25/12/2020, 13:13 - Raman Bharadwaj: The validity of appreciation is only until the next mistake!! Most times, many people, forget the good things one does  consistently over time and somehow remember only one's occassional mistakes or flaws.

So, it's safer to never take appreciations to the head or criticisms to the heart!!

25/12/2020, 13:14 - Raman Bharadwaj: Abusers are not always the seemingly loud, dominating, narcissistic, arrogant or bold people. Many times, abusers are those who paint the picture of being innocent, timid , well meaning, sufferers in their life, who care eternally for the welfare of others! These are the people who will talk anything about anyone in anyplace!!

25/12/2020, 13:14 - Raman Bharadwaj: In most situations, many people, see what they want to see, believe what they want to believe and do what they want to do  and yet think that they are always right!!!

25/12/2020, 13:14 - Raman Bharadwaj: The ones who have a great sense of humour are easy to manage. The ones who don't have any sense of humour are also easy to manage. It's the ones whom we can't ever make out -   which they will consider funny, when they will take something as funny and whose they will take as funny - those are the real challenges to manage!!

25/12/2020, 13:14 - Raman Bharadwaj: What is transactional & routine to one, may be substantial & life altering to another.

It's very  important to keep this in mind in dealings, discussions & decisions impacting other human beings.

25/12/2020, 13:14 - Raman Bharadwaj: Fixation develops when we start becoming dependent on something physical to avoid the void inside.

If this fixation helps to overcome the void, it becomes salvation. If it doesn't,it becomes addiction.

25/12/2020, 13:15 - Raman Bharadwaj: Everybody is fighting a war in their lifetime. It consists of multitude of battles.Some battles are won,some lost. Some battles are long,some short.

So, there will never be a time for anyone to complete all their battles to start doing something better or new ... Don't wait for the battle to be over to start being more pleasant or help around more in the house or be a significant contributor to the work team or to start learning yoga or get a puppy or.... whatever.

Don't wait for the battle to end to start living life.The end of a battle might be the onset of another or...it might be the end of the war.

25/12/2020, 13:15 - Raman Bharadwaj: A simple , spontaneous expression of love or care is anyday more valueable to an expectant person than a powerful, flamboyant expression that comes in late.

Don't wait to express. Don't miss the moment. There may never be a better time...

25/12/2020, 13:15 - Raman Bharadwaj: Words are powerful.Words can make or break. Words can hurt or heal. Words can begin or end...

Surprisingly, substituting 'Words' with 'Silence' can do exactly the same.

So, Silence & Words both have to be used with great care and discretion, understanding the life context of the receiving person, in order for the expression of the thought or the feeling, to be effective.

25/12/2020, 13:15 - Raman Bharadwaj: Sometimes people need their space & time. It's not that they are cutting you off. They need that time to take care of themselves in their own way. It's nothing to do with you. It's to do with their need to  rejuvenate in their own way.

25/12/2020, 13:34 - Raman Bharadwaj: Five thought lines (alone or in combination with one another), which are almost always the reason for emotional and therefore subsequent forms of  misery and disaster are

1. I am always good

2. My way of doing  is correct

3. I am the sufferer here

4. I need whatever I want

5. I thought...

25/12/2020, 13:36 - Raman Bharadwaj: The petty keeps you down, the expansive raises you up. Lose the dead weight and see yourself fly.

People will always tell you what you can't do and why you can't do it.

Only you can tell you what you can do and how you can do it. 

Shift your focus to what you have and go.

The holiday season is a great time to evaluate what you have. Friends, family, colleagues, fellow learners, teachers,  classmates, mentors. Identify your personal cheerleaders and feel loved. This is what protects and nurtures you going forward. Include them in your journey.

A great time to also evaluate what you leave behind, the toxic, manipulative, detrimental, what you thought you wanted, how ill it served you, or why you are the lighter for it. Have a conversation with your obstacles.

Perhaps the most useful line i've heard in the last couple of days: take the knives out of your chest.

You don't need to carry the burden of what others say or think of you. their betrayals, anger, envy, sorrow. let them carry them.

Clear your heart and move lightly.

25/12/2020, 13:37 - Raman Bharadwaj: The reaction to an emotion will always be an emotion. If you offer anger, you will get sadness or anger in return. If you want to change a reaction, change what you give: an expectation, a thought, an intention or an aspiration will elicit a response instead of a reaction.

25/12/2020, 13:38 - Raman Bharadwaj: We hold on to anger because it defines what happened to us. In doing so we allow it to define what will happen to us. We have come to believe this definition. Yet, we existed before and we exist after. Redefinition comes in looking beyond. Which means we have to release it.

 

Think of 3 things that really disappointed/angered you in your life. Now pick up 3 pencils or pens, one for each, and hold them in your hand. Now walk around all day, whatever you do, drink coffee, bathe, eat a meal, without putting them down. This is how we live with our burdens.

 

Until you put the pencils down, you will always have them in the way. Even if you are functional, you will feel obstructed. Soon you will come to be known as the 'guy who carries 3 pencils' and you will come to identify yourself by the definition. There is only one way: release.

 

How we each arrive at putting our pencils down is our individual process. Whatever it is, we have to start on that process if we are ever to be free of them. We begin this process when the cost of not beginning it is greater. Say we pick up so many pencils we cant continue.

 

Wisdom is in beginning the process of putting down whatever we happen to pick up as we move through life. This is detachment, or as Mr Debroy put it, non-attachment is a better word. Detachment can be dissociative.

 

As we diet, and the body consumes existing fat stores before hitting a space of lean food hygiene, so also the mind must feed off existing deposits that drain it before it can begin to use new ways of thinking. This is the resolution of unfinished business.

 

So any healthy ways of living, thinking, eating, and doing will kick in only after we have worked on what is obstructing us. This is the process that meditation, psychological intervention, and therapy works at. Without them, nothing new you do will help. Thus DIY/self-help don't work

 

So you've read a book, watched a blog and written down the tips and steps and follow them diligently. You're eating salads but havent resolved the obesity of the mind you've been living with for the past two decades. You haven't put down the pencils.

 

You stick to it for 21 days because that's how long (you've read in another helpful self-help book) it takes to break an old habit and start a new habit. Doesn't work/works for a while but you fall back to old ways. Old habit patterns are written into our code. Disrupt them first.

 

Long version short: go to therapy, get an intervention, clean out existing stores, put down the pencils, then you'll have made space for the new ways of being and doing.

25/12/2020, 13:44 - Raman Bharadwaj: I want us not to Survive but Thrive!

I want us not to Follow but Flow!

I want us not to Fear but Love!

I want our 2021 to be filled with Abundance.

25/12/2020, 23:24 - Raman Bharadwaj: *Keep Moving.. Don't Hurry*

 

*Guiding Quote:*

The moon moves slowly, but it crosses the town.

~ African proverb

 

*Point to Ponder:*

Haste is everywhere around us. But haste doesn’t always invite good outcomes. While we may not slack unnecessarily, we should always consider the fact that there may be unforeseen hurdles that might delay our plans. However, as long

as there is progress, there is hope. Sometimes we appreciate the outcome of an effort better if there were setbacks on the way to achieving it. It is hardship on our way to paradise that helps us value the destination even more.

 

Action:

Let's not allow ourselves to panic when things do not happen as rapidly as we want them to. Let's do our very best to accomplish whatever we can, but we should also practice patience where it is needed. We need to bear in mind that some things require more time than initially anticipated, so let that not discourage us.

 

Have a realaxed day and enjoy the weekend, my friend.
