??? ???? ???? ??? -- Amazing session by Deepak Shinde

#KhudKhushiKaiseKare 

“Happiness doesn’t depend on any external conditions. It is governed by our mental attitude”-Dale Carnegie. 

There are some sessions which educate you, there are some sessions which enlighten you, and there are some sessions which trigger something in you from within.

This was one such session.

Firstly I would like to thank (MPF) South Mahesh Professional Forum for arranging the amazing event on the 7th of September. What was important about this event was that it came just two days after Teacher’s day.

Our Teachers, mentors, and coaches are like the twinkling light which shows us the path in a dark sky. I always like to listen to motivational speakers because of their insightful takeaways and Mr.Deepak Shinde is no different from that.

Though it was my first experience to attend his session the amount of energy which he imparted was simply out of this world.

Though the topic started on a very serious note his charismatic personality added a lot of magic to the overall session. There are very few times where someone can convey such life changing lessons on critical topics in such a subtle, fun and intelligent manner and I was glad I could be a part of that.

About the Speaker-

Mr. Deepak Shinde is a source of motivation and inspiration to many, awakening millions to enhance their inward and outward life. Starting with humble beginnings his life is a testament to how with the power of relentless efforts and positivity a lot can be achieved if you truly believe in yourself. He believes that you can improve your life by recreating it and constantly learning from it.

This session helped me understand that you yourself are responsible for your happiness and that you should not depend on anyone else for the same.

I would like to pen down certain things which I had taken from the session-

1.      Set a clear path

It forms the very basis of everything. Unless and until you are not clear about a particular motive or a decision of yours you cannot reach the final stage.

2.      There’s always a solution to every problem

What according to you is happiness? A life which is devoid of problems? Well, it won’t be! Truth is embraced your problems. Face them head-on. Find happiness in your problems.

3.      It’s good to think but don’t over think

We are the prisoners of our own thinking. We overthink and make matters worse and stop thinking about things which are never going to happen.

4.      Stop fearing

If you fear things you cannot experience the goodness in them. Experience is the best teacher. There are no bad experiences. There are only rich experiences.

5.      Health is Wealth

‘Take care of your body. It’s the only place you live in’. Taking care of your health is of utmost importance. Health is ultimately your real wealth. The money will come and go but good health will stay with you forever.

6.      Stand strong

There are things in life which are bound to go against your way. But at such times have confidence in yourself. If things happen as per your plan be happy, if not then be very happy because he (God) has a plan for you.

7.      You are the source of your own happiness-

Why should others take up your responsibility for the cause of your happiness? Be the root of your own happiness tree.

I will tell you a simple but an interesting example; once a wife was waiting for her husband to come back from office so that he could take her out for a romantic ride. While it is very natural for her to feel this, she is depending on her husband to make her happy. What happens in such a case? She sets an expectation. If by some case here expectation is not fulfilled there will be conflict in her mind. If there is conflict she is bound to feel unhappy and sad. So what’s the solution?

Was she wrong in keeping an expectation? No certainly not. She depended on her husband on that, which shouldn’t be the case. Be the source of your own happiness.

8.      Set the right expectations

Expect but don’t ever expect it. If you think that your expectations are not getting fulfilled then change them if you can’t change them leave the expectation altogether. Be reasonable, not emotional.

9.      Accept the reality, things will be much easier

That’s the key to happiness. Accept people, accept situations, and accept the truth. It will be much easier for you and things will work out automatically. If you cannot accept then tolerate it.

10.  Learn to ignore things which don’t matter to you

Make the habit of ignoring the things which don’t matter to you. It’s only then you can be at peace with yourself.

11.  Always keep an open mind

Don’t get trapped in your own thoughts. Be clear, have an open outlook.

12.  Your viewpoint is as important as other’s

 Always trust your own view. If you see through other’s viewpoint you may never really get the true picture.

13.  It’s all about faith

Your belief in God is important but even more important is devotion and faith. Blindly following God will not do.
