Focus on the higher, lower will drop itself


We always feel challenge to wake up our children in the morning. I am trying to set a discipline to wake up my son at 5.30AM. He spends more than 20 minutes to get up from bed after he wakes up.
But I observed one day, he had to go for a trip with his friends from school. He had to leave home by 5.00 AM. Surprisingly he got up twice in the mid night and finally  4.00AM before the alarm rings.
One thing we can make out here, “between less pleasure and more pleasure we always chose more pleasure”.
Between daily getting up and sleeping for while, sleeping is more pleasure, so, he prefers to sleep. On the day of school trip, the more pleasure to him  is going with his friends.
Now the realization is how we can create more pleasure to him instead struggle to wake him up.  Sleeping is everybody likes it, but solution to that is not reduce sleep, instead start liking something more than the sleep.
The easiest way to take a person out of hell is not to speak against hell, sell a heaven to him.
I tried this in his holiday, he likes cycling with his friends. So I set a schedule in his holidays the cycling in the morning 5.30 AM. One ring of alarm, he used jump from the bed and go for cycling.

7.Finding True happiness in life

Finding True Happiness in Life The saying, "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy," encapsulates a profound truth about the pursuit of happiness. The very essence of life revolves around the pursuit of happiness, and this pursuit is fueled by hope. While the future is uncertain, we live with the hope that it holds something better for us. Consider the paradox of wealth and happiness. Many individuals amass vast fortunes and acquire material possessions beyond measure, yet they find themselves inexplicably unhappy. On the flip side, there are those who possess considerably less in terms of wealth and material goods, yet they radiate joy and contentment. Think back to a time when you yearned for something—perhaps a new car, a bigger house, or a promotion at work. You likely envisioned the happiness it would bring. But when you finally achieved your desired goal, the happiness you experienced may not have been as enduring or intense as you had imagined. Does this mea...

Today's maturity is different form yesterday's

Arivu  ಅರಿವು … The Maturity at which we deal today is different from the maturity with which we dealt same on yesterday. I was discussing with a good friend of mine for his decision of postponing his marriage even after late 30’s.  He questioned me, what makes difference if it is too late marriage? Suddenly did not have answer to justify. But I believe, the intimacy at innocence age has different experience and feeling than the intimacy after over maturity. Every day pass by, we add an experience. Every time we meet a person we add an experience and get matured. It is foolish to say, I am meeting today with the same maturity had yesterday. Every experience showered gives a maturity in your life. I always say in my beginning of the speech, the person walked inside this room is not the same person when you go back. It adds a new experience in his life and adds a new wisdom on to the person. And it is true the person  gets next level of maturity when...

Poverty

“What is poverty – the state of being extreme poor ”. Different people have the different poverty. Someone has poverty of wealth. some body has poverty of love, peace,  happiness, health… Everyone has the poverty. Everyone undergo the poverty. Nobody has abundance of everything.   Man was going to temple and saw the beggars sitting at the entrance and explained his child they are poor people and poverty state. He went inside the temple and started praying with the God to provide the health. Child was confused. My experience in the life is that, each one undergoes all type of poverty at different time. When I started my life I had poverty of money, worked for some time and started the business. The moment started experiencing money in hand started feeling the poverty of love after some time got married. Again found poverty of happiness then we had a child and so on. Also my experience is poverty of one can lead to poverty of other. The poverty def...
