Lets start with an interesting finding:

Happiness Researcher & Winner of several teaching awards at Harvard, Shawn Achor: 90% of the long term happiness is predicted by how the brain processes information. If the brain is in positive zone then it is 30% more productive than if it is in negative or neutral mode. For example: Doctors are 20% more accurate on their diagnosis if in positive zone. When in positive zone, dopamine is released. It has two function...not only it makes you feel good but also opens up the learning centers.

Positive zones are the thought channels of virtues: compassion, friendliness, joy, equanimity, coaching, solution orientation & "We".

Negative zones are thought channels of vices: arrogance of knowledge, ego trip, jealousy, insecurity, blame-crib, "me only"
Daily Tiny Act
Watch TRP (Thought Rating Point) after every hour. This should take just 10 seconds every hour.

At end of every hour, just observe the thoughts that your mind was playing for last hour or even the last two minutes. If thoughts were from Vices Channel or Virtues Channel. The TRP would define your happiness potential. Simply observing and registering over a 21 day period is the step one & the most important towards changing.
TRP (Television Rating Point) is a classical term used to judge the television viewership rating of a program. In some sense, inside of all of us, the thought box is very much like the television box, only that in thought box plays different quality of thoughts. The kind of thoughts we allow to play inside obviously helps in its TRP and thereby contribute to our happiness.

The William Forrester & Jamal Wallace in You

Image
A genius kid from low rung meets a prize winning recluse and both transform each other. Sixteen year old Jamal Wallace (Rob Brown) gets an opportunity in a prestigious private school. School's hope pinned high on his basketball ability and not so much in anything else, Jamal accidentally encounters William Forrester (Sean Connery).  Forrester's tragedies in life rips him away from his success (Pulitzer Prize).In course of tutelage to deserving Jamal, Forrester gradually and accidentally kindles his own life. Jamal's talent (for writing) shines and how !!! "Awareness" is the proverbial Jamal here in each of us. It is at the low rung of our priorities and importance. We believe that everything else that awareness is able to do for us, our thinking-feeling-saying-doing, is more worthy of cultivation.  Epiphanies and deep longings and timeless wisdom are the proverbial Forresters in us. Once or few times, having had the grand success of tasting dee...

Time and again, us humans have been at war. We certainly do not go to war because one or both or multiple sides feels over-arching abundance.  We go to war because of reasons deeply rooted in lack or scarcity or the anticipation of it . These "lack" or "scarcity" are deeply entrenched in individuals and or groups. This write-up sets out to answer the following questions: How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is the war now? How are you Asymptomatic Carriers of Warlords, thus drafted in the war  already? How can you fight it better or cut-down your participation? And these can enable you into "situational leadership" position if you chose to.  https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/vietnam-draft-dodger   How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is drafting? When a community and or its organizing body or institution went for a war, there was either what is called voluntary participation for fight...

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.  Summary: There is the Black Lives Matter Movement sparked by murder. There is close-home Gangster-Encounter. And in some sense, all of us are involved in daily murders or encounters. At individual level. At inter-personal level. At inter-group level. And that is getting played out in heinous ways sometimes and we feel shocked. Thats because of our own blindspots and our own treadmills. Time for Justice 2.0  Discretion and Weaponization  aren't strange bed-fellows. Some theorists in evolution, civilization, governance, organization structure and development and more would argue its need in society. And they would cite the inextricable need for going beyond process (the very "bureaucracy" that renders many a project ineffective or stalls innovation or "whatever it takes" scenarios). However, what one can surely argue is "is there an adaptive form of discretion and maladaptive forms of discretion?". How can one di...
