Why did you spill coffee?

*I LOVE THIS ANALOGY*: 

Shared as read by Dr. Priyanka Ghode

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee? 

"Because someone bumped into me!!!"

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. 

Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.

Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.

So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"

When life gets tough, what spills over?

Joy, gratitude, peace and humility? 

Anger, bitterness, victim mentality and quitting-tendencies? 

Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it. 

Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others. 🤗

An Insightful Goal Setting Session

Being part of the mass healing sessions, I have become accustomed to blocking my time from 9.30-10pm every Saturday for the past 6 odd months. When the healer said that he would conduct a goal-setting session, I was ready to experience it. Though in my mind, I was like "As much as I look at setting goals, nothing works ou

As I continued through the journey of goal setting, I realized that I have been way too complacent about life. If I got something, great. If I didn't, procrastinate, blame someone, and then go on. This has been my life for at least the past 20-odd years. For example, whenever I quit my job, I tell myself that I want to try a different profile or industry. But I never think or plan the quitting and suddenly a money issue leads me back to the same situation time and again. The patterns were something that I had been observing but the why was not clear. Same with relationships too.

As the healer, Mr. Hetal Shah, spoke, to a much wider audience, here I was thinking "Arrey, this is my life! Oh! this is the answer! I don't seem to really have gone through any real struggles and when I do get into a struggle or hurt, I have a big tendency to run away. But more importantly, the hurt is not big enough and of course, I had not learned from the hurt or had taken a wrong learning out of it. 

The four reasons that drive someone to change were non-existent or I was complacent. In this case, I thought to myself, I should actually be grateful that things are moving forward. Plus if I really want to, I need to set those goals - both at macro and micro levels and make sure that I show up!

It is said that knowledge and insight come to you when you are ready to receive them. "You may be here for prosperity healing but remember that you may need to heal other aspects of life before the prosperity in financials." I am ever grateful to Mr. Hetal Shah for taking me through this journey and almost always taking me back to the ground level to reflect and improve.

So, at 50, this is the first time that I am setting some goals to move forward in life with a direction and a sense of accomplishment.
