Arty of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is currently in Mumbai. On this occasion, I give below a short write up on “25 ways to improve your life”, taken from his teachings.
- Review the context of your life. Know that span of life is insignificant. In terms of space, you don’t even exist!
- Know life’s impermanence. Past is like a dream. It has already passed
- Make your smile cheaper. Smile more! Somebody said something stupid to you. Because they had some garbage to throw. Don’t catch it!
- Be enthusiastic and praise others
- Make meditation a part of your life. Meditation is the art of doing nothing. Let go the anger of the past and planning for the future
- Go to the most beautiful place on earth – within you! Take one week off every year.
- Communicate effectively
- Take some time out for yourself – daily 10 minutes at least
- Make a commitment to make this world a better place
- Nourish your emotions – through music, prayer and service.
- Plan short and long term goals
- Prayer is a vital tool. What you can do, you do. What you cannot do, you pray for!
- Implement changes if needed. Don’t be afraid of change
- Identify your limitations
- Do not loose your friends
- Don’t look for perfection
- Let us be unpredictable
- Have a sense of humour. Don’t take life too seriously
- Don’t be afraid to make mistakes
- Overcome your prejudice
- Feel that “I’m blessed”
- Do random acts of kindness
- Be a student, always
- Dream the impossible
- Compare your performance with past
