Quote by AVIS Viswanathan

“Mindfulness is the art of being present in whatever you are doing, whatever you are thinking. It involves holding up each thought, examining its value and utility and discarding it if it is debilitating or wasteful. Hold up each thought just the way you would see a dew drop hanging on to a blade of grass – if the thought is empowering or inspiring, let it be; if it is making you feel suffocated or frustrated, shake it off, let it go. Mindfulness is like any other art – over time, with practice, it can be learnt.”

“No, loving a crisis isn’t easy. But loving a crisis is the only way to deal with one. Because every crisis comes into your Life to teach you unputdownable lessons. Such is Life. You have to go through the darkness to see the light. To appreciate the magic and beauty of Life, you have to experience pain. And you must have felt suffocated by sadness to understand the value of Happiness…of living fully with what is!”

“How will you ever learn that you had an option to deal with a situation differently, unless you deal with it one way and realize – and understand – its futility? This is why pain is a great teacher. Pain teaches you that Life must be faced and that you must always choose for yourself, for your Happiness…which is why pain, eventually, always, makes you strong, wise and happy!”

“Adolescent and young adult children will continue to question or even challenge their parents’ decisions, choices and wisdom – until they become parents themselves! This is irrespective of whether the parents are regressive or progressive, controlling or empowering, conservative or liberal. This is just how Life works. So, a simple way to zero-anxiety parenting is to offer your perspective and step back. And, over time, evolve into being a by-invitation-only parent – which is, offer that perspective only when it is sought!”

“We are all going through our evolutionary journeys in Life; and there is a quiet search within each of us that makes us feel restless and incomplete. Who am I? Why do I feel the way I am feeling? What do I love doing the most? What is my Life’s Purpose? These are some of the significant questions that arise within us when we go through this search. Each of us has to through this phase individually, often privately. And we have to answer these questions – for ourselves, for our Happiness. We should then go to work on those answers – by being the change, by leading the change around us. Only then will we be able to live happily ever after!”
