IN THIS EPISODE
Jealousy is a difficult emotion to understand. It affects people of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations, and is usually triggered by a perceived threat to a valued relationship from a third party. The threat could be real or fictitious. Although jealousy is a painful emotional experience, evolutionary psychologists regard it as a signal or a wake-up call that a valued relationship is in danger and that steps must be taken to regain the affection of a mate or friend. As a result, jealousy is regarded as a necessary emotion, as it maintains social bonds and motivates people to engage in behaviours that preserve important relationships. In this story of the "The Pet Monkey", you will be able to see how easy it is for emotions to go out of control and lose the very same things you have been trying to protect if you don't take heed to your emotions and make the necessary changes for a happy life.

When we choose to notice the good in the midst of struggle, we are essentially holding two experiences in our awareness at the same time. Just as we can hold two objects in our hands at the same time and notice their qualities, we can simultaneously hold and feel two or more emotions. Finding the good isn’t about being positive and hoping for the best, it’s about seeing the actual goodness that surrounds us. There will always be joy, and there will always be sorrow. What we do with each is what makes the difference. Listen to this beautiful story and find out how the intelligent painter got rewarded because of his positive outlook.

IN THIS EPISODEWe are often reminded that the little things are the ones that really matter in life, yet we are easily distracted on the pursuit of bigger milestones in our busy lives. In life, the energy we attract is directly proportional to the energy we expend. We will feel much more fulfilled and content if we make a conscious effort to think and feel positively. Using our energy to focus on the thoughts and experiences that make us happy helps us stay positive while also improving our ability to notice the small significant details that truly matter. There are no limits to the adventures we can have if we keep our eyes open.

In a study it was found that individuals were significantly more inclined to participate or tolerate inappropriate activities when a group is involved. Most people prefer to go with the flow rather than risk standing out. In this episode you will listen to the story of The Arab and the Camel from a different perspective; about how some seemingly small compromises can alter your whole life.

IN THIS EPISODEThe story of the boy and the drum shows us how with just the right intention and attitude we can get what we desire. Getting what you want isn't conceptually complicated nor will it be easy. However, all of that is a moot point without you first establishing your own rules and beliefs. Start by practising these two habits. First thing is to stop relying on other people to tell you what to do. And the second thing is to question your habits and norms so that you can break up your idle mind by putting disruption into your typical routine and thought processes. The thoughts that occupy your mind determine the outcome that you have in life. That’s because they determine your belief systems. Your belief systems determine your habits. Your habits determine your actions, which determine the outcome. Mindset, belief systems, habits, actions, and outcome are everything.

IN THIS EPISODEWe all get angry every now and then, but once your partner, friend or relative gets to the point where he or she starts to yell, a line has been crossed. No one should be yelling at you, especially not someone who claims to love you. The most basic reason we yell in any situation is that we believe we are not being heard. You deserve love and respect. There are numerous ways to make a point, and shouting is not one of them. While it may appear that shouting gives you an advantage in an argument, it actually makes it more difficult to reason with and listen to. It takes time for good habits to produce the desired results. But they are always worthwhile. It will be difficult to make a drastic change in the way you speak, but it will solve the major problem if you can identify the root cause. You can also rely on experts and people you trust to assist you. Best wishes in your relationship!

IN THIS EPISODEWords have energy and power to heal, help or destroy. The emotions we feel, the events we experience, and our ability to interact with other humans are all controlled by our language or the words we use. If we want more control in our lives then we should start with a greater understanding of the potential power in what we say to ourselves and others. All big changes of the world come from words. Bruce Lee once said “Don't speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn't know the difference. Words are energy and cast spells, that's why it's called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself and you can change your life. What you're not changing, you're also choosing.”

IN THIS EPISODEThey say that in certain tragic situations only mad men can keep their hope alive. But it’s that little spark that can eventually pull that same man from the depths of despair. Even in our darkest moments, even when it seems impossible, even when all seems lost. Hope saves us. Hope is a buoy keeping us afloat, Hope is a powerful force and a necessary ingredient when it comes to overcoming life’s toughest challenges. We can each decide, for ourselves, that the things that happen to us, do not have to define us, and instead move forward with purpose and with passion. When we lose hope, we lose a valuable tool. Choose hope, and you free yourself from helplessness. Where there is hope, there is life.

A priest sees a little girl visiting the temple, praying and uttering something everyday in the mornings. He gets curious and asks what she was asking everyday? The little girl's answer surprises him. God is a manifesting power. If you are confused, confusion will prevail. If you are doubtful, uncertainty will manifest. By focusing on doubts, worries, or fears, you create the circumstances that allow you to live within them. By focusing on joy, love, peace and awesomeness, you create this life for you instead.

This week’s episode is the story of a little girl who helps a butterfly to emerge. Sadly it harms the butterfly more than helping it. The struggles that the butterfly went through during emergence helps him to get stronger. The same is applicable to anyone facing troubles in life. Remember that your struggles don’t define you. It only helps you to grow and get stronger. The only person you are destined to become is the, is the person you decide to be.

This week’s episode is a story of two monks who help a woman to cross the bridge. The action upsets the younger monk. He continues fuming throughout the journey until he bursts out at the older monk. We all carry our own emotional baggage like this young monk and feel angry, sad or irritated and hurt ourselves. Living in the present requires that you take the time to appreciate where you are, what you're doing, and who is with you. Instead of becoming caught up in the past or worrying about what will happen in the future, try to savour each moment as it passes. Realise deeply that the present moment is all you have. The past is gone. The future hasn’t arrived. Make the Now the primary focus of your life. Live in the present and make it beautiful. Live a happy life!

This week’s episode is the story of a monk who sees the reason for his anger and finds a way to manage it. When you come to have deep knowledge of your own self and the understanding of the mechanism of your inner workings, you become alert. This alertness and awareness gives you a grip in understanding your emotions and reactions to them. Hence your anxiety and anger will disappear as well. After you hear the episode "Anger Within", you will also be able to find ways to cope with anger and other problematic issues like frustration, greed, impatience and more. When we allow an emotion to take control of our lives, it can affect everything we do. That's why controlling our emotions is very important.

This week’s episode is the story of a King who is unexpectedly saved. Everything in life happens for a purpose, and always for our own good. If you think about it, all our past experiences actually shaped us to where we are today. All the past experiences make us a better person. Whatever challenges that you may face today, consider it happening only to raise you to the next level. Thinking positively isn’t about expecting the best to happen every time, but accepting that whatever happens is the best for now.

This week’s episode is the story of the Gardner and the Monkey King. This is a story from the Jataka Tales written in Sanskrit between 300BC and 400BC in India. The funny story explains the importance of carefully choosing people in our lives for any task or partnership. Sometimes when things don't go well, we blame others for a job done badly. When we made the mistake of giving the task to someone who is not suitable of performing it. The person to blame for the bad job was us and not some monkey like in the story. You can not change the people around you. But you can change the people that you choose to be around.

This week’s episode is the story of Abraham Lincoln which teaches us humility. It shows us the importance of being humble. It demonstrates that humility breeds empathy, while arrogance yields division and failure. This is one of the facets that sets Lincoln apart from nearly every other commander-in-chief - his dignity, eloquence, and integrity, all wrapped up in a leader willing to admit his mistakes, accept his shortcomings, and learn from them.

This is a powerful reminder of the fight that every human must face. Regardless of the type of person you are or what kind of life you lead, you will find yourself battling two conflicting emotions at some point in your life. Whether the fight is between anger and peace or resentment and compassion, it’s important to recognise the conflicting feelings inside you and to feed the values and choices that matter most. This parable of the Two Wolves from the Native American tradition is a reminder to approach life with a more positive outlook.

Remember the quote "Ship is safest in the harbor, but that is not where it is supposed to be" Same is with us too. We have to get out of our comfort zones. Listen to this week's story - The Parrot in the Golden Cage to understand how some of us like to settle down in our comfort zones. Its a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there. Its easy for many of us to find our golden cage but getting out of it is to experience what real freedom is.
Have a Happy Life!
Peace remains a goal for introspective individuals around the world. The lifelong search for inner peace challenges us to learn more about ourselves while allowing us to evolve. This week's episode is a real story on one of the first interactions between Emperor Wu and Bodhidharma on finding Peace of Mind. Emperor Wu complains about his restless mind and how he found his peace within himself. This is one of the beautiful lessons learnt in life on Destiny, Virtues and Inner Voice. When you carry out your actions with passion and true generosity and no expectation of honour or reward for what you have given or done that is when your life and your actions are a contribution. Blessedness is not the reward for virtue but virtue itself.
Giving and taking is happening all the time with us and around us. When we give something, it opens the possibility of us receiving. This is how we live, whether it is in the business world, in our social lives, or in any other context. The universe is in constant and dynamic exchange. We need to both give and receive to keep abundance, love and anything else we want circulating in our lives. Listen to this week's episode "We get back what we give others" to understand this natural interdependence.
“At the end of your life, you will regret the things you didn’t do rather than the things you did.”For many of us, life boils down to what we do or don’t do tomorrow. We rarely take the time to put life into perspective or try to understand what’s truly important to us. Are you including all the things that are important and necessary for your health and wellbeing? If you are, then you should be living a life that is meaningful. Or you will be leading a life filled with busyness and poor physical and mental well-being. Do not spend all your time on the small and insignificant things, otherwise you will run out of room for the things that are actually important. Listen to this week's episode on Prioritising your life for a healthy and happy life.
This week’s episode is about the thoughts we hold within us. On how they pull and drag us and yet we don’t let them go. Don’t stress yourself with useless thoughts which don’t deserve to be an issue in your life. The moment you lose interest, the moment you understand the futility of holding all the unnecessary thoughts, it will start disappearing; just like the donkey in the story it will escape. It will also run away from you. Hope you enjoy the story as much as I enjoyed bringing it to you.
Have a Happy Life!
At some point in life—probably when we’re just old enough to understand the concept of goals and achieving them—we’re taught that happiness is something to strive for. And that it’s tied up in the milestones of life—getting that promotion, making a lot of money, graduating from school or getting married.
The problem is, this notion of happiness becomes a constant chase and we’re always moving the target, says human behaviour expert Patrick Wanis, PhD. “We place our happiness somewhere off in the future and therefore we’re never able to enjoy where we are now because we’re always thinking we’re only going to be happy when we get to be, do, or have something.”
Seeking happiness is personally motivated because we believe that getting something we want will make us feel better. Just like in this week's story about how people were frantically search for their balloons. And when they began to handover their randomly picked balloons to the rightful owner, they all made progress and found happiness. When we seek meaning, we focus on what we can give, rather than get. We seek to make a contribution to the greater good in ways that help us feel fulfilled.
Genuine happiness comes from having done the hard work of going inside ourselves with the curiosity and compassion that allows us to develop self-acceptance and genuine relationships with others. The hunt for happiness doesn’t need to involve chasing after something; it’s more about seeing what’s already here and learning to appreciate by trying different kinds of mindfulness strategies.
Have a Happy Life!
You are totally responsible for your life. This is the foundational principle you must embrace if you plan for happiness and success in your life and work. For many people, everything is someone else’s fault. Every problem can be explained away with reasons on why they can’t affect the situation or why they can’t affect the outcome. You can’t blame anyone else if you’re not living up to your potential.
This week's podcast is a story of a strict boss who makes his employees understand their true potential and who has been holding them back from succeeding.

People will often downplay others abilities or achievements because they’re unable to accept it or accomplish the same thing. Maintaining a positive mindset is a key part of being successful. Positive mindset is a mental and emotional attitude that focuses on the bright side of life and expects positive results. Check out this week's story about a beautiful dog that could walk on water. Have a Happy Life!
Listen to this week's episode "Facing Adversity". Life is full of ups and downs, wins and losses, and big shifts in momentum, and adversity is a big part of this experience. And while many of us would rather not face adversity, it doesn’t have to always be a negative thing. Here is a story for you about A mother who guides her daughter and explains that handling adversity can be a positive experience. It can lead to personal development. Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end.
True wealth and happiness aren’t measured by material belongings. Being around the people you love, enjoying the beautiful natural environment and having freedom are more valuable than money. Listen to this wonderful episode on "The Rich Life" and start appreciating your blessings with more gratitude. The endearing story of the Boy Visiting a Farm will make you smile in happiness at his innocent observations in life which we often don't give importance to in everyday life.
Listen to this weeks episode "Do not make Assumptions," in a wonderful short story about a little girl who wants a puppy. Making assumptions simply means believing things are a certain way with little or no evidence that shows you are correct. This can lead to trouble. Even if we hear something we don't understand we make assumptions and believe them. We stop being open and receptive to the other person. We stop trying to connect or make an effort. We even walk away from a relationship or quit a job.
This week's episode is about "Building Your Life". Listen to the story of the Carpenter who was retiring and realised that life had given him many oppurtunities but he chose not to give his attention to those things and ended up with a life he could have planned better for.
Your life is yours. Just like everything else that belongs to you, it can also be built the way you want it. Life is a do-it-yourself project. Your attitude and choices help build the life you will live tomorrow. Ask yourself what is really important and then have the courage to build your life around your answer. As long as you can imagine your dreams, you can make them a reality. The power is in your hands. Build carefully, so you can have a happy life.
You Deserve to be Happy!
Life is a struggle. It humbles you, and attempts to break you down. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. Have the courage to map out a course of action and follow it to an end.
Things don’t go wrong and break your heart for you to become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be. Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.
When ignorance screams, intelligence shuts up. It is futile to waste your time trying to prove something to a fool. They won't be able to understand and your calmness gets destroyed in the process. Your peace and tranquility are worth more. Listen to the simple story of the Tiger and the Donkey while you understand why sometimes silence is the key to your mental peace.
It’s good to be independent and not rely on anyone. But having a friend, partner, mentor or teacher helps us to be stronger with their support. As Oprah Winfrey says "A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope within yourself". Listen to this wonderful parable of “The Cow and the Lion” which explains the importance of a mentor and the gratitude one feels towards the other in this episode “Why do I need a Master?”
Sometimes in life you need to take action without overthinking things. Listen to the funny story of how a wise man complicates things when he wants to buy a pair of shoes. Complexity prevents us from beginning because we make something that wasn’t an issue, an issue. We think, “This goal is going to be tough to achieve so the steps to get there must be hard and difficult as well.” This fabricated complexity creates both problems and excuses for us. We scare ourselves into inaction by turning small, simple tasks, into impossibly large tasks. Tasks so large and daunting that we sometimes lose the courage to start.
If you find yourself in such a situation, then take a deep dive into the pool of your life. In what areas of your life are you creating more complexity? Is there a way to simplify this, so that it makes everything else better or easier? If so, do it. Simply simplify.
Impermanence is the nature of everything, when we truly know the impermanence in ourselves and others we understand how precious each and every moment is. Listen to this week's episode "Live in the Present" on how to live your life truly enjoying yourself. This week's story is "Four Trees", a beautiful and simple representation on how one must keep growing and remain content.
Adapt, balance and move forward when the time comes. Life moves on and so should we. Listen to this wonderful folktale of the "Two Frogs from Japan" in the episode "Don't Dwell". The story warns us about how expectations and our easily mistaken senses can lead us astray. Do not believe all that you see, for what we see may not always be real.
The answer to every adversity lies in courageously moving forward with faith. When you are trying to move forward, don’t look back. You can’t move forward if your are still clinging to your past visions, ideas and experiences.
Listen to the thought provoking story "The five men and their choices" and understand that life always presents us with oppurtunities. Every decision is easy once you make it. The important thing is to think carefully and make your decision. Every day you have the opportunity to learn and experience something or someone new. Seize the opportunity. Learn and experience everything you can, and use it to change your world.
Listen to the introspective story of “The boiling frog” in this week’s episode while you understand the importance of establishing boundaries for ourselves.
The problem is that we are creatures of habit and most of us prefer the comfort of familiar routines. This episode “How much tolerance is good for you?” can challenge your long-held beliefs and get you out of your deteriorating comfort zones if any.
It’s about answering “This is the best I can do” not with a nod but with a question that will help you see your situation in a better light and take better decisions. As a result, our emotional well-being and dignity will improve and our self-esteem will also increase. Have a happy life! 😊
Listen to the entertaining story of “The Smart Daughter” in this week’s episode while you understand the concept of thinking outside the box. Although the jargon may be a bit overused, people who think outside the box are often labeled as innovators, a desirable quality in life. The problem is that we are creatures of habit and most of us prefer the comfort of familiar routines. Thinking outside the box can mean challenging long-held beliefs. It’s about answering “These are our best practices” not with a nod but with a raised eyebrow.
Listen to a wonderful story on Skills in this episode. The ability to make wise choices at the right time is the most valuable skill a person can develop. Learn new skills, hone the existing ones and combine them in creative ways to make yourself ready for the future. Don’t cut yourself short. Pick up and use your skills as they enhance our strongest attributes.
Come listen to the episode on Material Happiness. This episode will show you the path towards true happiness in life. The story this week is a "Diamond Necklace" of a princess that gets lost. Our craving for materialistic possessions is never ending. In fact it is this preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly. Happiness is enjoying your own company and living in peace and harmony with your mind, body and soul. It's not about collecting material things or beautiful memories. It's about having a deep feeling of contentment.
Most people get stuck in life because of their fear of failure. Mental barrier is a belief that we have about ourselves regarding our ability. Mental barriers can stop a person from reaching their true potential. They can come in many different forms, like negative thoughts, confused thinking and feelings of anger or depression. How can you navigate around your own invisible barriers? How do we break down these self-imposed barriers? Come listen to a Shark story. It will help in understanding why and how you have a barrier and how to remove it.
Everyone is at a different point in his spiritual development. There are varying degrees of enlightenment. You become enlightened when you become educated about a particular course or subject of study. In the story I shared, the young man loses himself entirely in what he was doing. His game of chess becomes his whole world. Through that he gains understanding. And with understanding his compassion grew.
Over the years, I have come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity, or power, but self-rejection. You are not your job, you're not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You are not the clothes you wear. Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
Listen to a great story while you learn about the most important things in life and why they are essential in order to be happy. You can create a greater sense of fulfilment by adopting a different outlook on life. This episode widens your perspective and will make you spend less time on superficial matters and more time on achieving fulfillment.
This episode will inspire your heart and mind for true wealth and happiness in life. We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give. The world is full of people looking for quick money and wealth. There is nothing particularly wrong with that, but too often we miss the mark in our quest for wealth and material possessions and fall short of what we truly desire in life. This episode might be a reminder to you on understanding what is True Wealth. Don't Miss It!
STORY OF THE ZEN GARDEN
Once a Zen master was teaching the art of gardening to the king of Japan. After three years of teaching he said, "Now I will come and see your garden -- that will be the examination of what you have done in these three years." And he told him "What ever you learn, go on practicing it in your palace garden. Any day I will come."
The king had prepared the garden and he was waiting for that great day when his master would visit him. Finally that day came. The king was very happy. For those three years he had used nearly one thousand gardeners to implement everything in the minutest detail. And for that whole day and night -- because next morning the master would be there -- the garden was cleaned, everything was put exactly right, as it should be, nothing out of place and with no mistakes...
The next morning - The master came. The king was very happy because what ever the master had taught had been absolutely followed through; it was impossible to find any fault. But the master looked at the garden and became very serious -- which was not normal to the master. He was a jolly man. But, he became sad.
As they moved into the garden he became more and more serious and the king started feeling a unsure within him: Was he going to fail? What had gone wrong? The silence of the master was too heavy. Finally the king asked, "What is the matter? I have never seen you so serious. I was thinking you would be extremely happy that your disciple had worked hard."
The master said, "Everything is right but where are the golden leaves? I don't see any dead leaves, yellow leaves fluttering in the wind. Without that the garden looks dead; there is no song, no dance. Without that the garden looks very artificial.
The king had removed all the dead leaves, not only from the ground but even from the plants and the big trees. He had never thought that death is also part of life, that it is not its opposite but its complementary, that without it there would be no life. And certainly the master was right: Yes, the garden was beautiful, but it looked as if it were a painting, not alive.
The master said, "The golden wind is missing. Where is the Gold? Bring the golden wind!" The master took a bucket and went out of the garden, outside the gate, all the leaves had been thrown together in a pile. He collected the leaves in the bucket, came back and threw the leaves on the path. Suddenly the wind started blowing them here and there, and there was noise and there was music, and there was dance. The master said, "Now there is life! The wind is golden again."
This is the golden wind: when all thoughts fall down from your mind and your consciousness stands absolutely bare and naked.
Deep down near your roots the wind is blowing and all your thoughts are fluttering far away from you, no more a part of you. They still remain there. They don't go anywhere, but they are no more a part of you. You have transcended; you are standing above them, a watcher on the hills.
And that's what meditation is. The goal of meditation is to go beyond the mind and experience our essential nature—which is described as peace, happiness, and bliss.We are taught how to move and behave in the outer world, but we are never taught how to be still and examine what is within ourselves. When we learn to do this through meditation, we attain the highest of all joys that can ever be experienced by a human being.
Thank you for listening. This is Sonali from Happy mind happy life and I enjoyed bringing you this episode on “What is meditation?”Please follow me for more such interesting topics on life, friendship and happiness. I love to share my experience and learnings in life with you. Have a great life! See you later. 🙂
A few good friends are better than a large number of just casual friends. Sometimes there are few friends with whom you were close in life but now you find it difficult to carry on with them. Its basically because you have outgrown them. Listen to this week's episode to understand why, how and what to do when you are in such a situation.
