happiness from a varied perspective. Here are a few excerpts:
❏ Faith in yourself – This one quality that will bring you freedom from everything, as faith is the beginning and confidence is the result.
❏ Integrity – A person with all of the qualities of integrity listed below – with a broad vision and mission, a spirit of sacrifice, empathy and commitment – can transform anything.
o satyadarshi (truthful) first to himself,
o samdarshi (equanimous) under all situations,
o priyadarshini (pleasant personality), welcoming
all views and open to ideas,
o pardarshi (transparent) and not biased or
judgmental,
o doordarshi (farsighted) has a vision and can
dream big.
❏ Manas management: Also known as “mind management,” is central to the virtue of a happy and effective person. When the mind is managed better, it can manage anything. Human life is structured just like an atom. At the center of the atom is the proton and the field of negative charges orbit in it. Similarly, we have virtues at the center of our mind or being. But if we do not realize these virtues through the proper management of mind, we will roam the outer orbits and be in constant danger of being managed by events surrounding us every moment. Meditation is the best way to manage mind.
❏ Discipline – People who are free regret that they do not have discipline. The very nature of discipline is to protect freedom. One must inculcate the discipline of bringing total awareness in the mind, love in the heart and righteousness in action. Only then the love for discipline and fear of losing it will put you back in track.
The story of life remains the same, only characters and situations may have changed over the years. Research indicates that increasing your happiness improves chances of success. Developing new habits, nurturing your co-workers, and thinking positively about work-life are good ways to start – and now you have some tools too.
