Quote by AVIS Viswanathan

“Intelligent living is not about applying your human intelligence, your cleverness, to your Life. It is about living intelligently, it is about choosing wisely on what, how, where, and why to invest your time and energy! You know you are going to die some day, so, do only what is worth it, what is worth your time and effort, and what gives you unadulterated, unparalleled, indescribable joy, a.k.a your Bliss!!!”

“You can’t face Life when you are running away from it. And only through facing Life do you find solutions and discover Happiness despite the circumstances. What you run away from, always comes chasing you, hunting you down…and so, turn around and face your fears, your demons. Don’t fight Life, face it! Any fight causes friction and acrimony. But turning around and facing a situation means telling Life, “This is me, I am going nowhere, let’s deal with this…!” Then, invariably, Life’s ferocity diminishes. Your problems still persist, but they don’t haunt you anymore, they teach you and mold you into who you are meant to be!!”

“Life is intrinsically impermanent. Over time, everything – and everyone – you know will change and, eventually, will be gone. When you understand this truth about Life, you will learn to live in a ‘let go’! This is what intelligent living is all about. It is only through living in a ‘let go’ that you are happy – because only then you are celebrating what is and are not imprisoned by what was or are fearful of what will be.”

“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.”

“Play your Life back from your imaginary deathbed. Think of a situation in the future when you know you are dying…and ask yourself what will you have still wanted to do if you had more time. Go do that thing right now. Do not postpone your Happiness! There is no tomorrow. You don’t get a second shot at living Life. This is it!”

“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!”
