My 8Ps of Happiness in 2022!

Being a person in branding and marketing, I typically think in Ps. So it's no different when it comes to happiness. I think there are 8Ps that lead to happiness and I intend to follow them this year.

1. Pray: I think it's a no brainer that the more advanced we are getting as a civilization, the more out of control we seem to be getting. So the only force we can rely on is the almighty. He will guide and protect us. I want to be thankful for His divine grace.

2. Physique: The body is the home we have on this earth. For too long, i have taken it for granted. It's high time I start taking good care of it. Follow some exercise and live a healthy life.

3. Passion: The COVID has taught us that life is full of uncertainties. I want to live every moment from now on with passion. And do things that I enjoy doing, as much as I can.

4. Purpose: This year, I want to focus on finding my Ikigai seriously and try to look for divine guidance to live on that path

5. People: The people in our lives are so important. Some give us happiness and others a lesson. I want to try and learn something from everyone around me. As everyone we meet has something to teach us.

6. Possession: I want to try and adapt to a minimalist lifestyle. Focus less on consumption and more on contribution to the planet and the communities I am part of. Focus on possessions that will stay with me till the end.

7. Places: There are so many beautiful places on this planet. I want to travel more and see more places starting this year. So that I am closer to nature and enjoy being close to the creations of mother earth.

8. Positivity: Last but not the least. I want to try and focus on the positive in every situation. Be a carrier of the posivity virus that spreads around freely.

I know I may not achieve everything on the list. But I want to consciously try and get better at following the 8Ps so that eventually with passing time, I'm able to find my Ikigai and live a more fulfilling and rich life as time goes by.

Humanity is lost!

We lost ourselves when our quest was overtaken by greed. First, we wanted to learn - the earth, the oceans, the skies and then we wanted to own them. We invented toys of mass pleasure and mass pain. We got religion and creed. And we got lost in all these. We stopped being the wanderers who wanted to cherish nature. Enjoy it's gifts.  We started challenging the almighty the creator. We lost. We are dying as a race. Dying with the burden of civilization that offers only stress and agony of loans. Sitting in one position we are destroying our body the greatest gift of nature. We don't deserve to be called the smartest of all species. We are the most idiotic of all. We are dumb. AI is taking over. We will be lost in machines soon. They are our future. We cease to be us soon. God bless us!

Oblivious to oblivion

We humans are getting more and more engrossed in things that don't matter and replacing it with things that do matter. We keep track of every new I phone model but we have lost track of the losing greenbelt and nature. We are killing everything that is keeping us alive. But we are happy to live now selling our tomorrow's.  It's a sad state of affairs. We are looking externally for things which are within us. And things which are external and unnecessary we are taking it internally - like peer pressure and loud lifestyles. Where is the sense? Where is the moral compass that controls our actions? Wake up humanity...before we are erased from this planet. We need the planet the planet doesn't need us. Let's not forget that, ever.

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!
