A fable of JOY!

Communication stays as key for business and life, or in any relationship for that matter. But what if the hearts beneath those are not connected yet? And if your entire engagement is based on economics and not emotions?

The end result, emptiness in spite of success, achievement and glory. The constant struggle between the head and heart has to be solved for living an authentic life, an essential to lead a satisfying life and as well a satisfying death.

How do we take the first step in that direction?

Aligning of head and heart, striving for meaning verses money and in this debate, indecision and wayward attractions entire life would be consumed if one is not attentive to the subtle hints that are given by inner self once in a while as wake-up calls.

Most get carried with what is prevalent in the society. And here is what 80:20 rule applies. 80% of our endeavors which are aligned with the outer world can give us the living but not the inner contentment.

I have come across those 20% who try balance the inner and the outer world, by giving-up some things and take-up a few other things. They are in the transition of expecting better but still holding on to the good that they have achieved. Last ten percent demands, developing our ability to give up the good for better. So very few see the possibility living a heart life. May be 90:10 rule applies here.

And those 10% or less have the sparkling eyes, serenity on the face, genuine smile, non judgmental, purity of the purpose and clarity towards all life endeavors. Their inner contentment radiates through their activities, talk, and existence. They can be ultra rich or in rags, point is not that, they appear simple to approach, to strive open conversations and enjoys the simple things like flowers, breeze and lightning.

When we know these differences we can judge ourselves are we in the path of progress, or at least to identify what can be detrimental if not progressive?

Towards that direction, how would that be if one can learn from each other being in a relationship, based on joy plus learning simultaneously? I attempted to put across that through a new fiction, a novel intending with the characters DEV and ISHU for learning the best practices of life which can give the inner contentment, decisions based on short realities, path of heart and the choices life offers which may lead to certain degree of awakening.
