The trick to Love all?

Here is an excerpt from the book which i am currently reading -

When you walk through a beautiful botanical garden, you feel open and light. You feel love. You
see beauty. You don’t judge the shape and placement of every leaf. The leaves are of all sizes and
shapes and they face every-which-way. That’s what makes them beautiful. What if you felt that way
about people? What if they didn’t all have to dress the same, believe the same, or behave the same?
What if they were like the flowers, and however they happened to be seemed beautiful to you?

They are making you materialists.

Here is an excerpt from a book which i currently reading that will explain the whole strategy employed by big brands. Your attachment with your phone is not your choice but one that is created by some strategy that your are always unaware of. And this goes for anything that enhances your ego.

Here is the excerpt:

"IDENTIFICATION WITH THINGS

The people in the advertising industry know very well that in order to sell things that people don’t really need, they must convince them that those things will add something to how they see themselves or are seen by others; in other words, add something to their sense of self. They do this, for example, by telling you that you will stand out from the crowd by using this product and so by implication be more fully yourself. Or they may create an association in your mind between the product and a famous person, or a youthful, attractive, or happylooking person. Even pictures of old or deceased celebrities in their prime work well for that purpose. The unspoken assumption is that by buying this product, through some magical act of appropriation, you become like them, or rather the surface image of them. And so in many cases you are not buying a product but an “identity enhancer.” Designer labels are primarily collective identities that you buy into. They are expensive and therefore “exclusive.” If everybody could buy them, they would lose their psychological value and all you would be left with would be their material value, which likely amounts to a fraction of
what you paid."

Purpose of Life

At some point of life, you surely have encountered this question. Why i am living this life that has been given to me. What is the outcome in end? You might say - A well lived life. So, what is that well lived mean and what source should we refer to? Scriptures, Religion, spiritual teachers. Yes, they are required for a well lived life. But the inherent fault in this process is that the life we choose is already prepared by another person and we just have to walk on it. No big deal right?
So the question remains and how to solve it?
I think it's pretty simple. Do not worry about purpose, just take care of your duties and responsibility with love. While you are performing them religiously (not related to religion), your purpose will come to you.

Mindset Vs Circumstances.

You have heard of many extraordinary stories about the people who have surpassed every obstacle and become something that is really great. You can say they have a strong mindset to change the things the way they like.
Success depends on two factors. Inner and outer.
Inner is mindset.
Outer is circumstance.

So let's say..we don't have that strong mindset. So what we can do is, by creating the circumstance we required for our success.
We can understand this by two examples.
1. If you are not sticking with English learning courses..just make 2 or 3 friends with the same interest..join discussion groups that reminds you to learn English.

2. If you have Watched Andhadhun (2018), you can understand..why he is behaving in that way.
