Respect

When I worked in advertising as a young account manager, we had the facility that we could take a cab home after 9 pm. We had some regular cabs who waited on us. I remember one guy who always asked me questions and tried to strike a conversation. It was a harmless exchange of information. He used to tell me the kind of house he has back in his village, his family, his children and his life in the city. One day, he told me that he wanted his children to be like me - educated, working for a good company having a respectable life. He was doing well in life himself, but he didn't want his children to live like him  I always wonder - what really is respect? I wear good clothes, I eat at good restaurants and I travel well thanks to my corporate position. However, these are extremely temporary but for many it is the life they dream of.  I realised then and I remember till this date that be grateful for all that I have. I'm blessed beyond imagination. God is taking care of...

Consumption is the cancer for humanity!

We are consuming like there is no tomorrow. Resources are limited but the desires are unlimited. Fuelling climate change and pollution that's irreversible. It's time we step back and think. Live simpler lives. Else it may be too late to return from the path of our own destruction.

I am so inspired by Gautam Buddha!

Young Gautam Buddha had every luxury one could dream of. He was a prince living in a loving family. But he chose to take a leap of faith. He chose uncertainty. He chose a path of hardship. And became one of the greatest humans to walk on this earth. What an amazing inspiration. How many of us can dare to be like him 🙏

The new luxuries

Materialism and consumerism have totally failed. They have not connected more people or made them happier. On the contrary they have increased debt and depression.  The luxuries today are the ageold boring but bold disciplined way of life. Today luxury is owning your time, slow mornings, sunrises and sunsets, naturewalks, time with your tribe, doing things you enjoy and being healthy. No consumerism can give us all this. It's time to wake up and consume mindfully. Consume less and live a life that's simple and stressless. Let's start living this simple life and live happy 😊
