When you feel stuck in your life, it is not the situation as in your work, family or any other thing which is the cause of it. It is because you’ve evolved to a different plane and you are just not fitting into your surroundings anymore. Your perception towards your job, family and everything else changes. This difference somehow stops you from letting yourself express adequately. It may not be simple for you to change your job, family just because you feel that you have more to offer or you’ve changed. Society may not be as flexible. But then, what is the solution?Well, to me, it is imperative that you keep trying to find something in which you feel you can express yourself fully, just be yourself. But, this is a never ending process, what intrigues you today may not do so tomorrow. You cannot keep on jumping, changing your surroundings all your life to seek betterment. What you can do though, is remain in your present with absolute gratitude as this present surrounding is undoubtedly the one which raises you to a higher plane. In doing that, explore newer parallel avenues in which you feel that you can be yourself. The one who is able to balance both the sides will surely be the one who’s absolutely at home.

While I was meditating today, the wife started doing something around the place where I sit to meditate. Upon finishing, I told her not to do anything near me while I’m meditating. While she was making absolutely sure that there be as less noise as possible, I was still getting annoyed with those subtle noises that she was making unintentionally. But, they were very few and far in between. Nonetheless, I had to tell her what I had to which is to stay away from me and the place while I meditate. Upon telling her that as I contemplated a bit, I realised that there were also other noises that were coming from outside the house and they were much louder than what my wife was making. Those were noises which I couldn’t prevent not hearing. But then, it was the wife making noises which was bothering me the most. Why so? Two things are there in my opinion. First, it weren’t the noises that were bothering, it was my attachment to the person, the source making them. The fact that the wife was making them was bothering me more than the noises. Second, in my mind I had accepted that stopping those outside noises were beyond my control and hence started focusing on what was in my control which is to just meditate and not get distracted by those noises. So, two things which can save us from unnecessary hassles in life are non-attachment on irrelevant things or situations and acceptance of the fact that happening of things are not hundred percent in our control but our reaction towards them are.

Leadership is about tsaheylu (neural connection) first and then gently putting forward your ideas. Well, if you’ve watched Avatar you will know what tsaheylu means. But how can the connection be established? By letting the the other person’s energy flow first and foremost. Every energy, be it in a human form or otherwise just wants to do one thing, i.e. to flow. In our social sphere, be it in business or otherwise ‘by letting the energy flow’ means to thoroughly hear out a person’s opinion, ideas, problems. Understand it and then gently put in your ideas, ideally not to counter it but to guide it, direct it, mould it for overall betterment. But, without a connection, your ideas might seem to be a counter measure to a person’s energy. And, that is why to establish the connection, allowing somebody’s energy to flow in an easing manner is the key to develop a deep sense of trustful energy.
