Integrity Matters - A Painful Lesson

My youth was full of pranks. I was pranking almost every single person that I know at that time and even my dad started to call me useless and unworthy. At that time I never knew how it would affect me but all I know now is that I'm still paying for it.

I was pranking everyone because school was boring for me and I needed fun. I was reading a lot of personal development books instead of school books but I was not sharing my knowledge with my peers because I know that it would contradict with their beliefs so to make sure I will have friends I opt for pranking others and create a fun environment.

I would tell crazy lies like I was adopted and you name it. It really hit me hard when I left school and met my friends years later. I was a changed person as I inclined more towards spiritualism  after my father passed away so, I began to live a honest and simple life. None of my friends were able to believe a single word that I utter because of my pranking history.

That was painful and I can boldly say that I was a good prankster as they still don't believe me even after decades.

The joy that you create out of lie will bring sorrow sooner or later.

Truth matters and the journey that I'm on now is so beautiful and I love the joy that it brings despite the fact that I have to tell the truth that might hurt some.

My brother always said this to me. Tell the truth and defend it instead of telling a lie and hiding from it. Thank you brother.

Integrity Matters.

If You Don't Know What You Want Then Do This

One of the hardest point in my life was to find out what I really wanted. You can call that a goal, purpose or a milestone to be reached but I am talking about identity crisis here. When you are following a mentor you are becoming more like them in your shades and at one point you will realize that you can fulfill your potential further than that.  You have your own and unique potential and to discover that, you need to embark on a self discovery journey. That journey might take decades because you must try a lot and find out what works for you. Sometimes, it won't be just one calling for all. There might be a few in a row. To cut it short there's a simple way to find out what you want if you don't know what you really want. We have to go the opposite way and find out what you don't want. Choose someone that you know and you don't like. List down every single details on why you don't like that person. Write as many as you can until you run out of ideas. Now the ...

No One Has Ever Become Poor By Giving

No one has ever become poor by giving. - Anne Frank. She was 15 years old when she wrote this in her diary. To give is to achieve your life's purpose. Giving without any expectations is the purest of all. You don't necessarily have to give money. It can be love, time, knowledge and joy. Best of all it'll return back to you. Givers are achievers. You must give value and in return you will receive value too. Give like there's nothing to lose. Give it with love. Think Small T. Mohanadasan

New Year Resolution Won't Work Unless You Do This

It's New Year already and you must have decided to set a goal either for your physical fitness or financial fitness. Whatever your goal is it won't work if you can't stick to it for long term. The body that you have now is the sum of the food choices that you made over the years and you expect you can change just like that. No, it won't work. The ultimate reason why you fail to stick to your goal is because of your environment. No matter how hard you try, some external forces will suppress you and your goal. Don't try to fight it because you will fail harder the next time. The only thing that you must do before setting any resolution is to change your environment. You are the product of your environment. If you were born in a war zone, probably your resolution must be to stay alive. Your environment can shape you and it has power over you. The best thing that you can do is to set your environment in a way that can be inducing for you to create and follow processes t...
