In the next 180 days, FREE yourself from these...

This took me 11 years to learn, I'll teach you in 3 minutes. Here are 18 uncomfortable truths about life that'll put you 5 years ahead...

1. You’ll never have more than what you've worked for. Quit complaining and work harder.

2. You'll never be presented with challenges you can't overcome. You either want solutions too fast or are too lazy to fight.

3. No matter how old or good you are. Misfortunes can always strike.

4. Loyalty doesn't cost a dime. Give it to the deserving.

For the next 6 months, set aside 40 minutes a day and learn these soft skills to unlock your full potential...

1. Learn persuasion

To get the best in life, learn the best way to ask.

Know;

• How
• The right words to use
• When and who to persuade

The lion's share is negotiated.

2. Learn seduction

In life you're either seductive or being seduced.

Here are books you should read;

- The mystery method
- The art of seduction
- The truth: A uncomfortable book about relationships.

Which one have you read?

3. Learn how money works.

99% of people are chasing money.

Be different and understand money is created;

You do this by;

- Buying assets
- Building business
- Investing in your health
- Hiring people better than you

The more you create, the more you have.

4. Learn how to stay updated

Know the current trends.

The world is competitive and you should know;

- What's working now
- What's best for you
- How to stay on the winner's side

What worked then might not work today.

From age 20-49, do these mistakes and never regret...

1. Spend 70% of your time alone

Life is not all about honey, butter and bread.

You'll become a weakling the more you spend time with people.

Do this instead;

• Spend time alone
• Work on yourself
• Guard your energy

2. Move from parents

Don't abandon them but if you want to be self-sufficient,

(Especially in a society without elaborate lites of passage to strengthen you)

Then you should move and build your safety nets.

There are moments when family can't help you.

3. Go against common beliefs

Common is comfortable and it's considered easy.

99% of the times it'll never serve you.

Question what there is and know what works for you.

4. Quit taking medicine

Unless it's a life threatening illness or some necessary antibiotics.

You can stay healthy with;

• The right diet
• Exercise
• Water
• Work
• Sun
• Sex

You don't always need medicine.

You don't need a $100,000 MBA

Here are 9 valuable lessons that took me 5 years to learn.

( 3 minutes read )

1. Quit thinking too much on the product to sell

Think of;
• A customer you can serve
• A problem you can help them solve

These are the two basics needed.

2. Connect with your customers quite often.

• Read reviews
• Have a customer service chat
• Give them phone calls

Find out how they feel and think.

This is the foundation of effective marketing and product design.

3. Avoid desperate sales.

Trying to get them to buy something, will make them rebellious.

Train yourself to think, speak, and act with abundance.

4. Networking makes the strongest pillar in any business

• Have an asset people want
• Have a skill most people don't have

Cultivate one and making connections will be 10x easier.

For the next 90 days, PRIORITIZE these...

1. Your health

• Mental health
• Physical health
• Emotional health

Do this;

• Cut toxic habits and friends
• Read great books
• Try new activities
• Eat what you want
• Take long walks
• Have great sex
• Exercise

2. Building a strong circle of friends

You don't need 100s of friends,

You only need a few who;

- Understand your main goal
- Working on themselves
- Got your back

Build friendships with assets not liabilities.

3. Learning how to talk

You never know who might come your way and turn your life around.

Know who to talk to, when, how to talk.

You'll always win.

4. Learning martial arts

People around you are aggressive and always want to fight but they can't.

Learn how to fight for yourself and yours.

You'll also learn the fights to get involved in.

Mangottu Bhagavathi Temple
#Palakkad #Kerala
#keralatemples 🚩

Mangottu Bhagavathi Temple is situated in Athipotta near Alathur of palakkad district. Devi is kshipraprasadi here and grants relief to those who worship with full faith.
Mookken Chathen, situated on the Northern 👇

side of the temple, is guarding Devi here.
Story says that, once there lived a weaver named Kuttan who was a Devi Bhaktan. During one festival time Kuttan was so pleased by the Devi Vigraham that he requested her to come along with him. At that time wind blew heavily and Cloths

in Vigraham flew. Kuttan immediately decorated Devi with his cloth which stuck to Vigraham and returned to his village and with his Umbrella. Devi came with him in that Umbrella and stayed in his place. This place is Mangottu Bhagavathi temple now.

अस्य श्री गायत्री ध्यान श्लोक:
(gAyatri dhyAna shlOka)
• This shloka to meditate personified form of वेदमाता गायत्री was given by Bhagwaan Brahma to Sage yAgnavalkya (याज्ञवल्क्य).

• 14th shloka of गायत्री कवचम् which is taken from वशिष्ठ संहिता, goes as follows..

• मुक्ता-विद्रुम-हेम-नील धवलच्छायैर्मुखस्त्रीक्षणै:।
muktA vidruma hEma nIla dhavalachhAyaiH mukhaistrlkShaNaiH.

• युक्तामिन्दुकला-निबद्धमुकुटां तत्वार्थवर्णात्मिकाम्॥
yuktAmindukalA nibaddha makutAm tatvArtha varNAtmikam.

• गायत्रीं वरदाभयाङ्कुश कशां शुभ्रं कपालं गदाम्।
gAyatrIm vardAbhayANkusha kashAm shubhram kapAlam gadAm.

• शंखं चक्रमथारविन्दयुगलं हस्तैर्वहन्ती भजै॥
shankham chakramathArvinda yugalam hastairvahantIm bhajE.

This shloka describes the form of वेदमाता गायत्री.

• It says, "She has five faces which shine with the colours of a Pearl 'मुक्ता', Coral 'विद्रुम', Gold 'हेम्', Sapphire 'नील्', & a Diamond 'धवलम्'.

• These five faces are symbolic of the five primordial elements called पञ्चमहाभूत:' which makes up the entire existence.

• These are the elements of SPACE, FIRE, WIND, EARTH & WATER.

• All these five faces shine with three eyes 'त्रिक्षणै:'.

IT WAS RISHI KANADA WHO GAVE THE ATOMIC THEORY & TALKED ABOUT THE GRAVITY OF EARTH, 2600 YEARS BEFORE AN APPLE FELL IN FRONT OF NEWTON'S EYES:

Scientists of the modern world credit an English scientist John Dalton (1766 CE -1844 CE) for the Atomic Theory.

And this is because, most of us are not even aware of an ancient Indian Sage named Kanada, who was the first to formulate the theory of atoms, almost 2600 yrs before Dalton and talk about earth's gravity.

Rishi Kanada was born around 600 BCE in Dwarka, Gujarat and he was the son of a philosopher named Ulka. He was fascinated with the minute detailing of the things right from his childhood. Once, when he was very young, he accompanied his father on a journey to Prayaga.

He saw plentiful grains scattered along the path leading to the shore of river Ganga. It's a tradition in Hindu families to scatter the grains for the ants and birds to feed on them. Suddenly, an ant caught his attention, who was feeding on a rice grain.

He was mesmerised by this very fact that how a small grain of rice becomes food for the ant but to satisfy the hunger of a person so many grains are needed together. This incidence made him realize the importance of a single grain of rice.

Mahabharat - the great war - 18 days of heroism, deceit, blood and intrigue - now as a mega Twitter thread.

I'll add the events from a few days of the war each day.

Caveats: lots of editorialization, creative liberties and interpretations.

There will also be a lot of asides - especially around war strategy and tactics, the characters and their motivations and non-canon storylines.

Over the years, I've read multiple versions, phenomenal translations and modern retellings. So be prepared for a potpourri.

There are different ways of looking at this war. Was it a family feud? Sure - but whose family? Shantanu's or Satyavati's? Was Vyas essentially telling us his family history? And then Kunti added a twist to this tale. Here's a helpful chart:

Satyavati's two sons from Shantanu both died without children. Vyas - her first son - fathered Dhritarashtra and Pandu (and Vidur).

Pandu never fathered any children. Kunti and Madari gave birth to six demi-gods (Karna and the five Pandavs).

So Satyavati Vs Kunti and Madari.

Or was this a fight between two massive neighbouring kingdoms - the Kurus and the Panchals? While many smaller kingdoms joined the battle, most of the Pandav army (more than half of their 7 divisions) came from the Panchals. King Drupad and his son Shikhandi led two divisions.
