Friends call me Sri,
I am a very passionate person who likes to keep pace with technology.

I have one Sibling, Prudhvi Raj and I call him a fighter. My Parents are Teachers.

During leisure, I read novels, watch T.V.

Since childhood, we are asked to look outward. We have projected images of so-called heroes, like kings winning the battle, people exploring the geographical area, people climbing Himalaya, south, north pole, film stars getting praised in society, etc. All these are considered the biggest achievements in life. Those are portrayed as milestones.

So society considers it as a challenge.

So the objective is to do something challenging and earn a name and fame. It becomes the aim of life.

That is why everyone looks outwardly.

But, life is following Tao, the life force. This is experienced when one looks inward. It is an inward journey.

Chuang Tzu said,” Easy is right, right is easy.” Whatever you find easy, do it. Then that is the right word. Then you are following nature. Nature does not teach us to do hard work. But, the human being does not go for what is easy. Because the ego is not satisfied by doing work easily. No one takes notice of it. So people look for a challenge, thereby making their own life a battlefield.

I had read the story.

An emperor happened to be a Buddhist follower. He invited a Zen master in order to ask him some questions about Buddhism.

“What is the highest truth of Buddhist Doctrine ?”, the emperor asked.

“Vast emptiness, not a trace of Holiness”, replied Zen master.

“If there is no holiness, then who you are?” the emperor asked.

“ I do not know”.

Zen master followed Tao. He was on an easy path. Thereby, he was not in search of Holiness. He was not running after it. He knew Tao leads to vast emptiness. One runs for Holiness to get name, fame, in the society. He struggles for it. But, to achieve emptiness, one will seat comfortably and do meditation. By doing so, one loses their own identity, self. That is why the Buddhist monk replied that he did not have an identity.

To know yourself, please look inward. Listen to your inner self.

Meditation is the road map.

What I did:

  1. I started Living for myself, You are the First-person you have to be in love with.
  2. I Cut down Processed food from Routine, it makes a lot of difference in how you feel and Look.
  3. Exercise for 40 Minutes, No Sugar, No Juice, No Aerated Drinks, No Chips — I Invested time and Learn to cook snacks Myself.
  4. Read lots of books to gain knowledge. Books are the best friends we can have.

“I like to be the best version of myself by developing a level of willpower to achieve a goal, yet sheer optimism not only helped achieve it but also rise above that goal.”

“This is my moment!”-A Quick Start to New Journey..!

Success is not over the mountain.

Success is not around the corner.

Your success is right here. If you are working towards it, if you believe in the work you are doing, then you already have it. Every moment is your moment and doing your best right now positions you to receive the best in the future.
