Mohanji Speaks

Imagine living in a harmonious society filled with people who are rooted in compassion and have the energy to transform the world. This is the vision of the 'Early Birds Club'. Creating well-rounded individuals needs a solid foundation. According to Mohanji, this begins by waking up early. Consistently putting this into practice helps us achieve stability, improves our overall well being and makes us feel more alive. 

What does it mean to be healthy? We often think of health only in terms of our physical well being. Mohanji shares his view that being healthy is to have every aspect of our life in balance. Our overall health and wellness is affected by many external and environmental factors. We can achieve physical and mental stability by making certain changes to our lifestyle and by using a holistic approach to our health.

Most of us experience our lives unconsciously and fail to develop a deeper understanding of what life is about. We go through each stage in life in a mechanical manner and tend to experience life only on the surface. Mohanji shares his view that conscious living starts with us. We must ask ourselves this fundamental question - what are we made up of? This forms today's food for thought.

We usually look for motivation on the outside, but do not realize that it is only temporary. A more sustained source of motivation can be found within us, and Mohanji illustrates this point by sharing a personal story. Rather than giving in to adversity, we can use it to cultivate self-motivation. There is nothing more powerful than this and being able to tap into this source is necessary if we want to inspire others and make a difference in their lives.

Mohanji offers his perspective on failure and how success can be achieved when all odds are stacked against us. Is it really a failure if things do not go the way we expect them to go? It is not a failure if we have the right attitude. The key to success is developing this healthy perspective. We can always redefine our goals and approach them differently. It is important to realize that we cannot control every situation and to keep going even when things do not look good. If we put in a sincere effort without giving up, success will follow.

Today's food for thought revolves around this question: what is real wealth and how do we obtain it? People often equate material success with wealth and they spend their whole lives chasing it. However, satisfaction and contentment is not achieved this way. Mohanji offers his view that the real wealth lies inside all of us. We are the real wealth. Finding happiness in the simple things and applying what we learn to make a difference in this world is the key to living a contented and peaceful life.

Mohanji speaks about a Japanese technique called 'Kaizen' that can help us achieve our goals and has the potential to transform our lives. We all have the strength to overcome challenges but it is only possible if we learn how to use it well. The idea behind this technique is to consistently take small but steady steps each day. Even the smallest of improvements done constantly can eventually lead to great results.

Mohanji offers today's food for thought in the form of the following question - who am I? This game changing question is one we all ask at some point in our lives, usually in times of despair and discontentment. If we want to truly understand who we are and find our purpose, it is important to contemplate on this question. This path of self-discovery eventually leads to a mastery over self, which is the highest possible achievement in our life.

Mohanji speaks on the subject of knowledge and the importance of decluttering our mind. If our mind is cluttered with information, we lose clarity in life. It is important to ascertain how much of the information we receive is good and needed, while discarding what we do not need. This forms today's food for thought.

Mohanji speaks about fixed and flexible mindsets and gives us guidance on how to analyze where we stand. While fixed minds are rigid and set in their ways, people with flexible minds are always seeking to improve themselves, embrace challenges and every failure is seen as a lesson. Today's food for thought revolves around the question - where do we stand?
