Thanks everyone…...

Air Commodore Vishal was a Jet Pilot. In a combat mission his fighter plane was destroyed by a missile. He however ejected himself and parachuted safely. He won acclaims and appreciations from many.

After five years one day he was sitting with his wife in a restaurant. A man from another table came to him and said "You're Captain Vishal ! You flew jet fighters. You were shot down!"

"How in the world did you know that?" asked Vishal.

"I packed your parachute," the man smiled and replied.
Vishal gasped in surprise and gratitude and thought if parachute hadn't worked, I wouldn’t be here today.

 Vishal couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. He wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because, he was a fighter pilot and that person was just a safety worker"

So friends, who is packing your parachute?
Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.

We need many kinds of parachutes– we need the physical parachute, the mental parachute, the emotional parachute, and the spiritual parachute.

We call on all these supports before reaching safety.

Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important.

We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.

As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize the people who pack your parachute.

😊 *I just want to thank everyone who packed my parachute this year one way or the other*- through your words, deeds, prayers etc !!   Don't want to take any of you for granted .
From the bottom of my heart with all my love.


Wishing you all a pleasant and a memorable end to 2018 and an awesome beginning of 2019. ..

Why Me ?

" Why Me ? "

A Beautiful Message
by Arthur Ashe ,
The legendary Wimbledon Player who 
was dying of  AIDS , which he got due to 
infected blood he received during a 
Heart Surgery in 1983 !

During his illness , he received letters from his fans ,
one of which conveyed :

" Why did God have to select you for such a bad disease ? "

To this Arthur Ashe replied :

- 50 Million children started playing Tennis ,

- 500,000 learnt Professional Tennis ,

- 50,000 came to circuit ,

- 5,000 reached Grand Slam ,

- 50 reached Wimbledon ,

- 4 reached Semifinals ,

- 2 reached the finals and 

when I was holding the cup in my hand ,
I never asked God :

" Why Me ? "

So now I'm in  pain how can I ask God :

" Why Me ? "

Happiness....keeps you Sweet !

Trials.....keep you Strong !

Sorrows....keep you Human !

Failure....keeps you Humble !

Success....keeps you Glowing 1

But only , Faith....keeps you Going !

Sometimes you are not satisfied with 
your life , while many people in this 
world are dreaming of living your life.

A child on a farm sees a plane fly
overhead dreams of flying , while a
pilot on the plane sees the farmhouse
and dreams of returning home. 

That's life !

Enjoy yours ... if wealth is the secret to happiness ,
then the rich should be dancing on the streets. 

But only poor kids do that .

If power ensures security , then VIP's 
should walk unguarded . 

But those who live simply , sleep soundly .

If beauty and fame bring ideal 
relationships , then celebrities should 
have the best  marriages .

Live simply , be happy ! Walk humbly
and love genuinely !

WHY ME ?

A Beautiful Message not just to read
and forward but to apply practically in 
our personal life .

Have a Happy Life !!

Dear friends …

As I sat in the park after my morning walk,
My wife came and slumped next to me.
She had completed her 30-minute walk. We chatted for a while.
She said, she is not happy in life.
I looked up at her in sheer disbelief since she seemed to have the best of everything in life.
Why do you think so?
I don't know. Everyone tells I have everything needed, but I am not happy.

Then I questioned myself, am I happy?  "No," was my inner voice reply.

Now, that was an eye-opener for me.
I began my quest to understand the real cause of my unhappiness,
I couldn't find one.

I dug deeper, read articles, spoke to life coaches but nothing made sense.
At last my doctor friend gave me the answer which put all my questions and doubts to rest. I implemented those and will say I am a lot happier person.

Doctor friend said, there are four hormones which determine a human's happiness
1. Endorphins,
2. Dopamine,
3. Serotonin,
and
4. Oxytocin.
It is important we understand these hormones,
as we need all four of them to stay happy.

Let's look at the first hormone the *Endorphins.*
When we exercise, the body releases Endorphins. This hormone helps the body cope with the pain of exercising. We then enjoy exercising because these Endorphins will make us happy. Laughter is another good way of generating Endorphins. We need to spend 30 minutes exercising every day, read or watch funny stuff to get our day's dose of Endorphins.

The second hormone is Dopamine.
In our journey of life, we accomplish many little and big tasks, it releases various levels of Dopamine. When we get appreciated for our work at the office or at home, we feel accomplished and good, that is because it releases Dopamine. This also explains why most housewives are unhappy since they rarely get acknowledged or appreciated for their work. Once, we join work, we buy a car, a house, the latest gadgets, a new house so forth. In each instance, it releases Dopamine and we become happy.
Now, do we realize why we become happy when we shop?

The third hormone Serotonin is released when we act in a way that benefits others. When we transcend ourselves and give back to others or to nature or to the society, it releases Serotonin. Even, providing useful information on the internet like writing information blogs, answering peoples questions on Quora or Facebook groups will generate Serotonin. That is because we will use our precious time to help other people via our answers or articles.

The final hormone is Oxytocin, is released when we become close to other human beings. When we hug our friends or family Oxytocin is released. The "Jadoo Ki Jhappi" from Munnabhai does really work. Similarly, when we shake hands or put our arms around someone's shoulders, various amounts of Oxytocin is released.

So, it is simple, we have to exercise every day to get Endorphins,
we have to accomplish little goals and get Dopamine,
we need to be nice to others to get Serotonin and
finally hug our kids, friends, and families to get Oxytocin
and we will be happy.
When we are happy, we can deal with our challenges and problems better.

Now, we can understand why we need to hug a child who has a bad mood.

So to, make your child more and more happy day by day ...

1.Motivate him to play on the ground
*Endorphins*
2. Appreciate your child for his small big achievements
*Dopamine*
3. inculcate sharing habit through you to your child
*Serotonin*
4. Hug your child
*Oxytocin*

Have a Happy Life !!
