Quote by AVIS Viswanathan

“The key to Happiness is dropping all your wants. Even "wanting to be happy" is an expectation that can cause you so much anxiety and unhappiness. Just being, embracing what is, chipping away at what you can do in a given context, and doing what you love doing, will suffice to live a full, meaningful, Life. Clearly Happiness cannot, and must not, be pursued; simply being, consistently just being, at some point in your journey, upon reflection, will reveal to you that it is a great quality to have lived/live Life by.”

“Life will always come up with three demands: 1. Asking for your time to be invested in what you love doing 2. Asking you to urgently focus on what you don't like doing (sometimes what you intensely dislike) but stuff which is unavoidable and important 3. Asking you to try and keep doing multiple stuff that definitely interest you, excite you, but are not your Bliss...they are likeable stuff, but not exactly loveable stuff. Often times, you end up constantly responding to Demands 2 & 3 - 2, because they are non-negotiable and 3, because they are enticing, seductive, also financially rewarding. Now, if you did not have an idea about what you love, what your Bliss is, what your Purpose in Life is, you can dabble in 2 & 3, until you have your "1 Zone" clearly defined. But if you have a clear idea of 1, stay with 1 & 2. Make Demand 1 your non-negotiable too. You will live happily ever after!!!”

“Do you find your Bliss or does your Bliss find you? When you step out of the earning-a-living or economic circle of your Life, when you are willing to allow Life to lead you, your Bliss will come calling. It will come back, again and again, whenever you step out of the earning-a-living circle…until you embrace it, until your make your Bliss your Life! This is an irrefutable truth, this is how Life works!”

“Conviction is an inside job. It is a very personal feeling. It is intuitive. You can’t explain it. Words will fail you. And it is your Bliss that fuels your conviction. Your Bliss will drive you to take decisions, make choices, convince people and it will draw you into its fold…into a beautiful, magical space where logic hardly matters or prevails!”

“When your Bliss comes calling, you have a huge responsibility: you must trust the process of Life! You have to let go of whatever you are clinging on to and go with the flow of Life. It may be scary, even unnerving, at times, but this is what makes Life fun. So, think of it as romance, celebrate its raw beauty, that sense of uncertainty…Remember, only an unscripted adventure can offer you this quality of inner peace and joy – pure and immersive!”

“I think social media and WhatsApp are extremely worthy if you use them, like everything else, intelligently. There is some (limited) good, useful, content out there, there is definitely some utility for these tools/platforms and we must stay with those in focus. There is no point in berating their intrusive and mindless nature/character. Know the beast. Tame it. Use it for its true benefits. This holds the key to your inner peace and Happiness!”

“In a way, we are all imprisoned by our beliefs, our opinions, our fears and our worries. We are therefore causing our own suffering. We are responsible for our unhappiness. Happiness truly is a decision. It is the ability to unshackle ourselves, to break free from all those people, events and things that makes us intensely unhappy. And this ability manifests itself in you when you understand that Life is intrinsically a limited-period offer and when you realize that by postponing your Happiness, you are actually squandering an opportunity of a lifetime – literally!!!”
