The Manager who greeted all

Once upon a time, there was a manager of a cold storage unit who was of a kind disposition. He was a cheerful person and full of life. He had a unique quality of greeting everyone he met. He was regular with his warm greetings as he entered and also while he left.

Everyone loved him for his warm gesture. One day it so happened, that he was by chance locked in a room while inspecting, and by mistake, the door was locked by the guard who was oblivious to his presence inside the room. The manager realized what happened and started shouting for help but no one came forward to help him.

His phone too went out of signal. He waited for some help with his fingers crossed. The main guard at the security felt that something was missing today. What? He realized that the manager did not greet him. He thought that normally it is not possible that the manager will forget to greet him, and it might be that he got trapped. So, he started checking the rooms one by one. And then, in one of the rooms, he found him. In this way, the manager was rescued!


Moral: Our good actions always return back, whatever good karma we do we always get good rewards for it. So, consciously and unconsciously, we should always try to benefit others. Benefiting others is one way of benefiting our own selves.

Notice each breath, as it enters through your nostrils, travels down your lungs, and makes your belly expand. Notice your breath flowing outside through your nostrils, contracting your belly inwards. Observe and accept your experience in this moment without judgement. Now, we shall do a gradual relaxation of our body muscles. Bring your awareness to your body. ...

People Pleasing: A trait to be understood and reflected upon

A “people pleaser” means a person who feels a strong need to please others, even at their own cost. They may feel that their wants and needs are unimportant, so they alter their personalities in order to make others happy. Often, we engage in people pleasing unconsciously or witness people around us doing that, but we often fail to comprehend the underlying causes of this tendency. Let’s analyze and understand the reasons behind it, and give it some contemplation. Some common factors behind it are:     • Low self- esteem     • A childhood trauma     • Avoidance of conflict      • Low self esteem:  People who have low self-esteem are dependent on the external validation, and approval of others to feel confident. They feel good, when others shower them with compliments. They unconsciously base their esteem on outer appreciation, and seek reinforcement of value from others. They also feel they are less worthy and deserve less in comparison ...
