“Today, around 8.2 billion people live in the world. Among them, many struggle in their daily lives—some with financial problems, some with mental challenges, some with family issues, and others with physical difficulties. According to a survey, a large portion of the world’s 8.2 billion people face concerns related to their day-to-day life.”
· Around 700 million people live in extreme poverty (less than $2.15/day).
· Over 2.4 billion people lack regular access to nutritious food.
· Nearly 1 billion people face mental health or neurological disorders.
· Over 1 billion children experience some form of deprivation (education, healthcare, shelter).
Billions of people worldwide struggle with daily life problems—though the nature and severity of those problems differ.
“This estimation given above—has anyone ever thought about why it happens? All these challenges in our day-to-day life arise mainly because of the way our mind thinks.”
“In our life, staying mentally healthy depends greatly on our overall health. If you are mentally strong, you will face fewer health problems. Simply put, everyone should strive to remain mentally fit. Mental fitness increases your body’s energy and brings a natural glow to your face. Going to the gym may build your body, but if you stop after a few days, you will soon feel like you are back to where you started. On the other hand, if you stay mentally fit, your entire body will remain fit.”
“Being mentally fit depends on your mind.”
“To be mentally fit, it is very important to control your mind. A person who has learned to control their mind stays happy in life. Controlling the mind does not mean suppressing desires, like feeling hungry and refusing to eat. Controlling the mind means being happy with yourself, no matter the situation you are in. If you are not happy yourself, how can you bring happiness to the world?”
“You Are Your Best – Don’t Compare Yourself to Anyone.”
“When the thought ‘I am better’ comes within you, you will see that the way you live your life will naturally change. Today, the biggest problem is that instead of focusing on improving ourselves, we keep comparing ourselves with others, which has become the biggest trend in the world. If you truly want to become better than others, this mindset must leave your mind. Improve yourself first, and you will see the world as a beautiful place. People who appreciate you will grow day by day, and positive changes will come into your life.”
“It’s easy to say, but very difficult to do—am I right?”
“It’s true—speaking is easy, but doing is very difficult. Yes, it is also true that nothing is impossible. If you truly decide from your heart that you want to do something, then you can achieve it. In the beginning, everything feels difficult. When a child is born, they cannot walk immediately; it takes about 1 to 1.5 years before they can start walking. Slowly, they begin to walk, and eventually, they start running—without even realizing it. You are like that child, who fell many times while learning to walk, but eventually learned to run.”
“In life, you must have the mindset: ‘I will do it, no matter what.’ I may fall, then rise, fall again, and rise again—it all depends on your mindset. Until I achieve my goal, I will keep working towards it.”
“Is It Possible?
“If you have decided to do something, then it means you will do it—so why think it’s impossible? It is possible if you think positively every day. This will come naturally to you if you practice exercise and yoga daily. Along with changing your mindset, you must also do yoga and exercise regularly. Yoga gives you the ability to control your mind. Don’t be afraid—it is possible. If you dedicate just 1 hour a day—30 minutes for yoga and 30 minutes for exercise—you won’t even need to ask, ‘Is it possible?’”
