“Three kinds of people achieve illumination: those who learn, those who teach, and those who do both continuously.”

“Hope is a better friend than despair.”

“You are a seed; that is why God plants you in adversity when He wants you to grow.”

“Use the dirt life throws at you to plant the seeds of your success.”

“Before leading us onto the path of success and glory, the Universe tests how serious we are to pursue our dream...how passionate we are. And, it has a very interesting way to find out. Example, after much cajoling and inspiration, when we start our fitness regime, exercising, yoga, etc, our body starts aching on 2nd or 3rd day...so much so that we find it difficult to walk...and as a result...we stop our fitness regime. So, nature filters us out. Then there is the 2nd level of filtering. Within 10-15 days of embarking our fitness regime, we come across a situation when we are required to travel or attend a function or report at workplace early or work till late in the evening. After this gap of 3-4 days, many people don’t resume exercising. When you want to pursue your dreams...you will be deprived of resources and will find yourself surrounded by naysayers and negative thinkers. Result: You stop pursuing your dreams. The key is – “Never ever give up”. Believe in Yourself. Let the Universe know that you will pursue your dream and goal, no matter what.”

“Every problem has a solution”. I have never come across a problem which couldn’t be solved. However, in order to solve a problem, we need two things – a. Define what the problem is? For example, “I am not happy with my job” is a generalized statement. Detect the root cause; is your reporting manager’s behavior is a problem? Is your inability to cope with the demands of your job a problem? Are the processes and the systems you need to follow to complete your job a problem? Is your compensation a problem? Are you not motivated enough to do your job? Is work-life balance a problem? Often, we combine multiple problems into one and then look for one solution to solve them all. It doesn’t work that way. b. Take ownership to find a solution to your problem and stay committed until you find a solution. There is a saying, “Problem is not a problem. It is our approach towards the problem that’s the primary cause of the problem”. And, most importantly, it is YOU who need to solve problems of your life...problems that are bothering you. So, take the ownership. If you are not able to define your problem in less than TEN words and if you don’t take the ownership of resolving it and you still cry about problems in your life...that process is called ranting, playing blame games, spreading negativity, etc.”

“The high cost of greatness is better than the low cost of mediocrity.”

“I will ignore those who ridicule me. I will ignore those who undermine me. I will ignore those who undervalue me. I will ignore those who envy me. I will ignore those who disparage me. I will ignore those who betray me. I will ignore those who wrong me. I will embrace those who mentor me. I will embrace those who support me. I will embrace those who celebrate me. I will embrace those who improve me. I will embrace those who inspire me. I will embrace those who motivate me. I will embrace those who love me.”

“If a lion invites you home for dinner, it is you he wants to serve as a meal to his guests.”

“Ignorance is your opponent, fear is your enemy, vice is your adversary, virtue is your friend, and wisdom is your helper.”

“Conquer your vices. Exploit your virtues. Release your vices. Embrace your higher self.”

“Water is soft, but can maneuver any obstacle; be shrewd, and be gentle, and you too will be able to do likewise.”

“If you have a house but no home, you are homeless; knowledge but no wisdom, you are imprudent; acquaintances but no friends, you are lonely; money but no happiness, you are poor; and life but no joy, you are lifeless.”
