Quote by AVIS Viswanathan

“You have to believe in what you do surely. And you must not compromise on how you express yourself through what you are doing, what you are sharing. Most definitely, you must not compromise for any gain, material gain particularly! This is the key to Happiness.”

“Undoubtedly, you will be subject to the pulls and pressures of everyday living. You will feel angry, left out, let down, jealous, disturbed, fearful and insecure. Events, people, things – any of these can trigger off these debilitating emotions. Don’t resist any of these feelings. Hold them up. And examine them closely. What do they make you feel? Don’t they make you intensely unhappy? If they do, let them go. Anything, or anyone, that makes you unhappy does not have a place in your Life.

“Busyness” is not doing many, many things. It is not about being busy and not having enough time on your hands. It is about inflicting a lot of activity upon yourself without a sense of Purpose, without mindfulness, without understanding what matters most in your Life and why! "Busyness" leaves you constantly struggling, suffering, harried and unhappy.”

“[...] [A] dogma is generally based on a misconception. It is based on the misconception that there is some sort of certainty and control in this world. There is not. Embrace the uncertainty. You are not in control of what happens in your life. You just increase the chances of positive or negative events, but you will never be able to control it. For that, you need a paradigm shift. Forget all your core beliefs for a moment and acknowledge the fact that you know nothing for certain. The second step is to understand your own feelings. If you feel a certain way, you must understand why you feel like that. Very, very often, our problems with others reflect our inner conflicts with ourselves. We usually put contempt and resentment to those who remind us of our deficits and insecurities.”
