Feel happiness- Just drop the burden: (A beautiful story)

Once a Crow, holding on to a piece of meat was flying to find a place to sit & eat.

However, an Eagle started chasing it. The crow was anxious and was flying higher and higher, yet the eagle was after the poor crow.

Just then "Garuda" saw the plight and pain in the eyes of the crow. Coming closer to the crow, he asked:

"What's wrong? You seem to be very "disturbed" and in "stress"?".

The crow cried "Look at this eagle!! It is after me to kill me".

Garuda being the bird of wisdom spoke "Oh my friend!! That eagle is not after you to kill you!! It is after that piece of meat that you are holding in your beak. Just drop it and see what will happen”.

The crow followed the advice of Garuda and dropped the piece of meat, and there you go, the eagle flew towards the falling meat.

Garuda smiled and said "The Pain is only till you hold on to it. *Just Drop* it”.

The crow bowed and said "I dropped this piece of meat, now, I can fly even higher”.

Do we carry the huge burden called "Ego," which creates a false identity about us, saying "I need love, I need to be invited, I am so and so.. etc..." *Just Drop*.

Do you get irritated fast by "others’ actions" it may be a friend, parents, children, a colleague, life partner... and get the fumes of "anger " - *Just Drop*.

Do you compare yourself with others.. in beauty, wealth, life style, marks, talent and appraisals and feel disturbed with such comparisons and negative emotions - *Just Drop*

*Just drop the burden*

Right attitude is a great power (story):

😒A Businessman was deep in debt and could not see any way out. 😒Creditors and Suppliers were demanding payments. He sat in the park, deep in thought, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy. 👍Suddenly an old man appeared before him and asked, "I can see that something is troubling you seriously". 👍After listening patiently the old man said, "I believe I can help you". 👍👍👍He asked the man his name, wrote out a cheque and put it into his hands saying, 👍"Take this money, meet me here exactly one year from today... and you can pay me back at that time". 👍Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come. 👌👌👌The businessman saw in his hands a cheque for $ 500,000... signed by Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world. 👍"I can erase my worries instantly...

Why people at big companies are happy:

- Lets refresh our memories - employees are emotional creatures. Events from personal life affect professional life and vice versa. - Healthy work-life balance means different things to different people. Top companies realize there is no one-size-fits-all approach – they don’t tell employees HOW to achieve work-life balance. - As long as employees feel they are a part of something that is bigger than themselves, they remain engaged. Merge this with the freedom to design professional career path and the well-planned learning opportunities to succeed on those paths. Click to read full article from LinkedIn:

Achievers operate differently. They have an eye for the essential:

- *"NOT EVERYTHING MATTERS EQUALLY"* "It's not enough to be busy, so are the ants." ~ Henry David Thoreau. The question is, what are we busy about? Knocking out a hundred tasks for whatever the reason is a poor substitute for doing even one task that is meaningful. Not everything matters equally, and success is not a game won by whoever does the most. Yet that is exactly how most play it on a daily basis. "The things which are most important does not always scream the loudest" ~ Bob Hawke Achievers operate differently. They have an eye for the essential. They pause just long enough to decide what matters and then allow what matters to drive their day. Achievers do Sooner what others plan to do later and defer, perhaps indefinitely, what others do Sooner. The different is not in intent, but in a right of way. Achievers always work from a sense of priority. Source: received through whatsapp
