Quote by AVIS Viswanathan

“Happiness is a decision you make. It is an intensely personal choice. It often stems from a feeling of being unsettled…something’s not right…explore deeper and you will find that you are unhappy…dig deeper and you will go to the source of that unhappiness…then you invest yourself in that decision to weed out, even pluck out, that source of unhappiness…that’s how you decide to be happy…it is a process of making a Life-altering decision…!”

“What has to happen will happen. Every lived experience teaches us to learn and evolve. Sometimes decisions we make work out well; and sometimes our choices blow up on our face. The best way to live Life is to learn, unlearn, relearn...and keep learning from every event, every decision, every choice, every person and every experience. Whether we like it or not, Life keeps on happening to us, Life keeps on flowing. And to be happy, we must keep flowing with Life…!”

“If you feel an unquenchable thirst in you, welcome it. Celebrate it. In children, this thirst presents itself as curiosity. In adolescents, it appears as a search for love, for belonging. In young adults, it manifests itself as a search for worldly success, validation, recognition and acceptance in society. And when you are past your mid-30s...latest by your 40s...it appears as a search for meaning. Slowly, if you are tuned, and are in sync with the energy that created you, you discover something magical! You awaken to the truth that Life is intrinsically meaningless. And bringing meaning to your Life is your responsibility. You do that by following your Bliss, by choosing not to postpone your Happiness!”

“Until a great awakening moment comes, we lead our lives in utter ignorance. We agonize over our existence and circumstances. We refuse to see what we can do to make this world a better place. The ‘what’s-in-it-for-me’ assessment is always louder compared to ‘what/how-can-I-contribute?’. And then the moment comes. And we start living a Life of Purpose – selflessly. That’s when – and how – we discover true Happiness!”

“Learn to pray for your detractors. Forgive them for what they have done to you and wish them good health and peace. It is very easy to love someone you like. But it is very difficult to love someone you don't agree with or relate to, or even, at times, hate. Praying for such people teaches you to dissolve hatred and embrace love. Important, you heal through this process. Try doing that. And see how happy and peaceful you begin to feel.”
