Quote by AVIS Viswanathan

“When dealing with a seemingly insurmountable obstacle or an enduring crisis, and when you want to give up, ask yourself two questions: 1. What will be lost if you quit just now? 2. And where will you reach if you kept going? The answer to the first question defines your Purpose and the answer to the second one is your Vision. This is the bifocal approach to intelligent living that you must cultivate: of keeping your feet firmly on the ground, rooted to your brutal current reality and yet being unwavering with your sense of Purpose and your Vision.”

“Be easy on yourself. It is the first time always – whether you are an adult, spouse, parent, professional, #BlissCatcher or entrepreneur. And each situation, for each person, is unique. Besides, Life does not come with an operations manual! It is only by playing the game of Life, and learning from each experience, that you get better and better at living Life fully!”

“Often, when you are feeling beaten and broken, you conclude that Life is cruel. You think that only you have an unsolvable, insurmountable, problem. You also begin to believe that most people around you don’t want to understand you. To find inner peace in such times of upheaval and turmoil, step back, and look at your own Life from a distance. Think of yourself like a fly on the wall – and be a witness of your own Life. You will then realize that there is no grand conspiracy to vanquish you. You will see that: • There are many blessings in your Life that you can count. • Your problems are not so severe after all. • People are behaving the way they are because they are caught in their own web of emotions, circumstances, beliefs, opinions and problems. These people are beaten and broken too; they are searching for meaning themselves. It is your craving, that you shouldn’t have any problems, and that you must be understood, which is causing you pain – and suffering. Drop that craving. And you will, at once, be peaceful – and happy.”
