I recently talked with a good friend about the stress that many people have all the time. Of course the first place where people feel stress is their work place. You have a hundred things to do, fifty people wanting something from you at the same time, your boss waiting for results and your juniors for instructions and maybe some praise.
Often the boss has a lot of stress, too, but it is also mostly up to him or them, if it is several directors, to create the atmosphere in which everyone works. If those who are at the head of the pyramid can relax and show their employees that everything is fine as long as they do serious efforts, everybody can calm down and – ultimately – work much better and more efficiently! So my appeal goes first of all to all directors: help your employees feel good at their working place.
Of course it helps very much if the boss is not stressed but also every employee and each member of a company can just relax for himself, even in the biggest stress situation. The main thought that can always help relax is, that this all is only a part of the big game of life. How much does your work really matter? It is unusual that someone’s life really depends on it that you manage to talk with five people at the same time or that this letter still goes out today. Yes, I know, sometimes there are important decisions, many responsibilities and there are things that need to be done or a lot of money could be lost but in the end you need to see that you are human, you do what you can and whatever cannot be done will also be okay.
I believe if you have a relaxed and calm attitude towards work and events, you can achieve much more, use your time much better and enjoy also in a much better way!

I think the problem is that many people define theirself about the amount of work they can do, their job position and their importance for the company. For beeing acknowledged the boundaries are high and they would keep working and working and working. But the question here is: Am I defined by my job? The answer to that should definetely be no. So often the effort is not worth is and it wont help you for being happy.

Well stated, Swami. It's good to remember that you will be more productive and relaxed if you just stay present and accomplish one thing at a time. Rather than stressing about future deadlines and everything you have to accomplish, just trust that you have all the time necessary and it starts with the present moment- accomplish one thing now. And at the end of the day, you are not your job! Even if you don't get everything done, life will go on! Even if you get fired...life will still go on! Just trust and let go.

Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness. ~Richard Carlson trying to be stress- free........ ;-) That's one of the reasons why I like India, people are not so stressed all the time!

Everyone who really loves you wants you to be happy and strong and stable in your happiness. It is difficult to have stable happiness if you cannot have a stable opinion because all the time you actually worry in which direction you have to change your opinion now!

SourceIs spirituality something that you can learn, like mathematics or commerce? Don’t you think that being in love and living with honesty is true spirituality?
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if people stop giving false comfort to others using his name.
SourceThis is what modern society teaches people for their work: You are good if you are the best. You are good if you are the number one. If you are in the higher range, your ego gets artificially boosted so that you perform even better, bringing even more income and profit to the company.
SourceIn a close friendship, there are two separate individuals who give each other love but can still have different belief and ideas of life.
SourceI get mails asking if I can send energy to improve their chakras and how much my fees would be? They used to pay and get energy from other Swamis or some Gurus. I want to make clear that I don't believe energy can be sold or bought and sent in this way for money. Be careful with this kind of charlatans!
SourceLife is short, live it! Do what you always wanted to do! Say it! Make it reality! You are the one in charge of your life. Love your life and live it!
SourceA general request to any religious person: let others believe what they want. If they don’t want to believe what you do, you can simply think that God wanted some non-believers on earth, too. Don’t fight and argue with them. If you are interested, listen to what they say. If you are not, just leave it.
SourceYou can communicate in silence, looking into each other’s eyes and just feeling the energy. This also works as healing, it is silence therapy. Silence can cure, just try it.
SourceYou share everything with everybody and everybody shares everything with you. Just out of love. In this case the source is love, not ego. When you want to share your happiness with others and want to share other peoples’ pain, sharing is a great and positive thing.
SourceYou can never be satisfied with material because there is no limit. There is also no end to love or God. When you are in love you want to feel it more and more. You want to feel God more and more deep.
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he doesn’t think that women are less intelligent, inauspicious and less worth than men, as it is written in every religion’s books.
SourceChildren and teenagers need a balance of control and freedom.
SourceYou cannot save yourself by trusting in God!
SourceHow can all those Swamis and Gurus give liberation of attachment to material when they themselves are so attached to gold and money?
SourceGod is there for you in every moment and he does what is best for you.
SourceChange is normal and just a sign that you are alive and in the flow of life. We always change for the better when we make a conscious change and decide to change along with times. We are changing in every second and it is better to accept this change than to fight it.
