Quote by AVIS Viswanathan

“When you are coping with a challenging phase in Life, try this approach. Do all that you possibly, and practically, can in the given context, even if you don’t like doing such stuff. And then pour your heart into your art, into whatever you love doing. Do this daily. Soon, you will train your mind to go with the flow. That’s really how you learn to go with the flow. One day at a time, slowly, surely…”

In any context in Life, no matter what you are going through and how challenged you are, you can always be useful. So, try being useful to someone, in whatever small way.

“There will be times in Life when you will find yourself in a deep, dark, hole. And you will not see any way out. Every idea you believed in will be challenged. This includes your faith in yourself…and you may even end up asking if there is really a God up there who still values ‘goodness’! In such times, know that you are not the first person to experience darkness in Life and you are certainly not alone. This is how Life works. Everyone has to bear their cross, everyone has the go through their spell of darkness – feeling clueless, helpless and hopeless…these are part of the process of Life. Realizing this truth, that such is Life, that you control nothing and you have to go through what you have to go through…this awakening, this is what enlightenment is all about. It is through experiencing darkness and pain that you see the light, soak in grace and learn to be happy despite the circumstances.”
