Service is the purest form of "being" on this planet. If every act, every communication, every emotion is done with the intent to serve, there will be no desire, which means there will be no attachment - that is true liberation.
There are four parts to every communication: what you speak, what you mean, what the other person listens, and what they understand. A better communication is the key to resolving conflicts and building better relationships.
Can any act of life be done selflessly? Worst case, it gives you a sense of satisfaction to do the act selflessly which still adds a purpose of self to it. But if you can truly do something because you do it (not because you want to do it or are forced to do it), it is enlightenment.
Every external human activity is either an interaction with another living being, or an object or a situation. But every internal activity is a result of your reaction to these external parameters.
Just like there are laws of physics, there are laws of nature (and our existence). A pursuit of life is to understand this complex human system and evolve beyond it.
Noise is collective, but silence is personal. Results are collective, but struggles are personal. Actions are collective, but intentions are personal. At the end of the day, you realize that collective and personal are as same as different.
There are three phases of any journey (like life): one, where you think that it is all about reaching the destination; two, where you realize that the journey is more important than the destination; three, where you understand that the destination is just a point on the journey.
There is no point of anything you do in life, but that doesn't make life pointless.
Leadership is not a hierarchical position, it is just a different role. When you are a leader, you are supposed to walk with the team, not in front of them; you are supposed to direct their potentials as opposed to commanding them; you are responsible for their individual and collective growth.
Whenever you say yes to something, you are saying no to something else. To determine if you should say yes to something, sometimes it is worth considering what you would be saying no to! This is especially helpful because human mind is more receptive to what it misses out on than what it does I believe.
No person, object, or situation is responsible for your state of mind at any given instance. These are all merely inputs to the (human) machine. It all depends on your algorithm (parameterized by mann, buddhi, chitta, ahankar etc.) how you process them. Remember, you aren't sad or angry or frustrated because of some external agent, it is purely because your algorithm needs to handle some particular input cases more carefully!
