In my very first blog, I thought of sharing something wonderful which I have learnt very recently in a course named "ART OF LIVING". This is a very popular course conducted by deciples of Shri Shri RaviShankar.

Here are the key learnings from the course conducted at Baroda from Mar28,2006 to April02,2006:-

1. EXPECTATIONS REDUCES THE JOY
2. LIVE IN PRESENT
3. PUT YOUR 100%

5. HAPPYNESS IS NOW (DON'T POSTPON JOYS FOR A HAPPY MOMENT IN FUTURE)
6. OPPSITE VALUES ARE COMPLEMENTRY
7. WHATEVER YOU RESIST WILL PERSIST
8. BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION AND NOT THE PROBLEM
9. RESPOND RATHER THAN REACT
10. ACCEPT PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS AS THEY ARE
11. ATTENTION HEALS - REJECTION HURTS
