An UMBRELLA mindset: Feeling calm in life's Rainy Moments




Rain is natural.

Are we able to stop it? 

Are we able to avoid going in rain? 

Answer is NO, 

Rather we CARRY AN UMBRELLA & Enjoy the moment.

 

Same way, If unpredictable response comes from our loved-ones in life, what should we do?

TAKE AN UMBRELLA APPROACH. 

Let me explain in brief:

Rain is natural but we invented umbrella ☔ to protect ourselves from it. This simple act conveys deep truth. It tells us that at times we face situations which we can't change, in that case we need to adapt to people as we do with seasons. 

Unpredictable behavior or harsh words from loved ones are like rain. We expect warmth or support, but instead we might feel criticism or indifference.  

We can not change nature of our closed ones but we can surely adapt to them in a way that protects our peace and brings joy in the moment as we do while walking with umbrella in the rain.

Adaptability here doesn't mean giving up, ignoring or leaving the relationship. It's about being flexible, being wise at times, making a situation peaceful when we know about the things not in our control. 

Many a times,  

We expect appreciation but we receive criticism, 

We expect support but we get ignorance,

We expect rewards but we receive silent at that moment.

... 

In such cases use "Umbrella like approach" to protect your emotional well-being getting wet (affected), instead of their words/actions impacting your spirit, just let it flow like raindrops falling from umbrella. 

Now with calm mindset, stay steady and walk with grace and understanding in the situation rather than getting hurt or reacting.

Life, like weather, won't always be sunny. People won’t always respond the way we hope. But with the right mindset, our emotional umbrella, we can walk through the rain with smile along the way.

 

After all, growth doesn’t only come from sunshine, it often comes from learning to dance in the rain OR carry an umbrella in the rain.In whatever approach you take, 

the idea is to enjoy the moment.

Enjoy the rain friends... Stay Happy.

KIDS : Our reflection, Our Responsibility

Friends, can we spare sometime and go back to our childhood....  The fun days we had, stress-free environment we lived, friend circle we had, level of communication we had with our family, games we used to play with our parents and lot many things.....  We did not have so many exposures but yes, the freedom (stress-free) to play and study. We did not have many activities around but still exposure with no competition around.  We did not have too many tuitions but still had professionals and skilled people around.  Feel so nice to think of all this.  BUT  Are we as parents really providing the same environment to our kids? They are always loaded with too much of competition, too many challenges, too many exams and evaluations, too many tuitions. It's an environment full of stress. Its good sometimes to have competition but everything in excess is harmful. Friends it's taking away their childhood. CHILDHOOD COMES ONLY ONCE LET's NOT SPOIL IT... LET THEM ENJOY...

International Mother Language day (21 feb) : માતૃભાષા આપણું ગૌરવ

Friends, tomorrow is International Mother language day , on this occasion i would like to ask that, when our child speaks English fluently we feel proud but at the same time when he/she cannot even utter a word in our mother tongue why are we not feeling shameful?  It's good and necessary to know fluent English but at the same time it's equally important to know fluent reading and writing of our mother tongue.  Mother tongue is our pride. માતૃભાષા આપણું ગૌરવ છે. 21મી ફેબ્રુઆરી આંતરરાષ્ટ્રીય માતૃભાષા દિવસ તરીકે ઉજવવામાં આવે છે.
