The concept of "Pronoia" or "Inverse Paranoia"  was mentioned by Dr. Fred H. Goldner of Queens College in the 1980s. Pronoia is nothing but the opposite of paranoia. A person experiencing pronoia feels that  the Universe conspiring in their favour and for their good Here is my guide to the step by step process 1) Look for the opportunity in everything.As if it is an opportunity sent for you in pursuit of your dreams ...

Are you willing to be happy or want to fit in?

Image
How many times we are scared to be happy? How many times you feel people will judge you if you are happy? How many times you feel if you are happy you ll attract an evil eye? These all is just a conditioning a belief system that is highly fear based and imbibed in us .. implanted in us as a part of this reality we live in.  As a child I was always very happy just for no reason... my life was and has always been amazing. While growing up my peer group often judged me as shallow or not too serious or even stupid for being happy. I was the odd being out as in the world of serious and sad people who took life seriously. To fit in the peer group I tried to get serious but still my original nature of being happy prevailed. I attracted different comments from  “ Isko kuch farak nahi padta ( it doesn’tmake any difference to her)- especially when people were studying for exams  “ you got to be serious about life”- When I used to be happy even in difficul...

Haters gonna hate you - judge you .Does judgement give you money ?

#AccessConsciousness  Very recently one of the most influential industrial families of India - the Ambanis hosted a grand big fat wedding for their daughter Isha. The Indian Media went gaga over the celebration. The Indian common men and women (who actually have only 1% of the bank balance as compared to Ambanis) apparently went on and on trolling about how pathetic the wedding was and how much money they spent. Priyanka Chopra one of the lead Bollywood and Hollywood actress too got trolled for marrying Nick Jonas just because he is a decade younger to her. Internet trollers called her everything from aunty to babysitter. Recently when she posted a romantic picture of her with her husband  the same trollers continued to mock make fun and judge her. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh too were trolled for having “ bad dress sense” in their grand wedding  Now in all the above 3 examples- whether it is Mukesh Ambani or Priyanka Nick or Deepika Ranveer- are t...

You are enough

You are Enough!! Valentines Day and truth about Self Love By Ashwini Chube It’s important to understand what self love is. Self Love isn’t some fancy word . Most people prefer to ‘mock’ the concept of self love . They don’t even know what it means. For many self love means eating a big dessert full of sugar and saying I am treating myself ..infact the sugar may be doing more self hatred to you than love. The fact that we seek something external to feel loved itself is a wrong notion. It’s amazing to have loved ones in our life but note that if you don’t love yourself enough it will reflect on your relationship with your significant other and rather than addressing it internally you ll just keep blaming them. Some of the most happy n healthy couples have ample self love as the base for their relationship Love truly comes from within. Whatever is happening from outside is only a mere reflection of the way you are treating yourself. Ofcourse we were not taught life skills li...

Management Lessons - Growing good corn

Image
Growing Good Corn James Bender, in his book "How to Talk Well" relates the story of a farmer who grew award winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. "How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked. "Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn." He is very much aware of the disconnectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn also im...
