About Me
My goal with this blog is to replicate what I do on my Four Pilars podcast in a literature form so that I can help people become the absolute best versions of themselves possible. Whether that is me sharing my insights of how I take care of my physical and mental health, telling my story of how I found my purpose, what my partner and I do to improve our relationship so that we are always living with happiness, peace and joy or how I learned to cultivate inner happiness through faith, mindfulness and meditation. Given that, I also want to share more of my life here on this blog. Where I can talk about traveling, my childhood, my family and my experiences growing up as an East Indian.

The famous Dr. Wayne Dyer example of an orange being squeezed.
Here is an excerpt from one of his seminars explaining this:
“If I were to squeeze this orange as hard as I could, what would come out?” I asked him.
He looked at me like I was a little crazy and said, “Juice, of course.”
“Do you think apple juice could come out of it?” “No!” he laughed.
“What about grapefruit juice?”
“No!”
“What would come out of it?”
“Orange juice, of course.”
“Why? Why when you squeeze an orange does orange juice come out?”
He may have been getting a little exasperated with me
at this point. “Well, it’s an orange and that’s what’s inside.” I nodded.
“Let’s assume that this orange isn’t an orange, but it’s you. And someone squeezes you, puts pressure on you, says something you don’t like, offends you. And out of you comes anger, hatred, bitterness, fear. Why? The answer, as our young friend has told us, is because that’s what’s inside.” Whatever is inside you is the very thing that will come out of you. In my situation, if you squeezed me, what would have come out would be anger, envy, judgement, frustration, and negativity. It is impossible to live a life filled with hap- piness, peace, and joy when the very thing inside you is the exact opposite.
