If you google Emotional Quotient (EQ), the search engine giant will throw some very sophisticated, ‘padha likha’ definitions at you. Might just end up challenging your IQ as well. Don’t even get into all that. There might be many complicated things in life; understanding and figuring out simple, doable & smart ways to raise your emotional quotient should not be one of those headaches. Simply put, EQ is your ability to handle all the shit life throws at you, without losing your own calm and composure. Emotions are what makes us human (although there are pets in some homes who display more truer emotions these days than the owners). The word ‘Emotion’ stands for ‘Energy in Motion’ :-Hence there lies huge value in staying truthful about your emotions and using your mind and emotions in your favor and not against your own self Read More

There is no shortage of motivational speakers in the world.
There is a severe shortage of the ones actually worth your time.
23+ years on stage as one among the top Motivational Speakers in India for corporate events and youth audiences – 1500+ events across India and Asia – means watching, studying, and honestly stealing smartly from the best in the game.
This is an honest list of the top 10 motivational speakers in the world. Not a copy-paste from some SEO blog. This comes from nearly two decades in the same profession, and some very strong opinions to go with it.
Ranking the top 10 motivational speakers in the world isn’t a science – but nearly 20 years of sharing stages, studying styles, and sitting in audiences makes for a fairly informed opinion.
How did this list start? Year 2015. One September evening, totally zonked and bored from 100+ events that year and daily flights, a contest went up on social media: Motivate the Motivational Speaker. Some entries were genuinely surprising – original, creative, a few even turned into friendships. That evening sent things down a rabbit hole of revisiting the speakers who shaped this craft over the years – their content, their stories, their style of communication. It’s hard not to become a fanboy.
These are some of the most powerful courage stories out there – real life stories of courage, not the movie-type or the textbook-type.
The kind that make you put your phone down for a second and just think.
Courage gets talked about a lot on stage and in speeches.
But real courage rarely looks like a speech. It looks like ordinary people making one brave choice, quietly, when nobody’s watching closely enough to call it brave.
This post rounds up some of the best examples of courage – courage of all kinds, all real, all documented.

Before you begin reading this, I have a confession to make. I may have indulged in some overthinking before writing this article. I always do, for all my blog posts. And then I fight it. So that’s what this blogpost is about: How to Stop Overthinking & finding ways that actually work. Because let’s face it – sending the brain on a hyperactive overdrive in the wrong direction never helped anyone.
‘How to meditate, increase mindfulness & find God’ is not my Blog or writing. My intellect is too small to even begin to answer this most profound question like the saints who walked this country did. They gave to this world the real meaning of spirituality and the precise understanding of mindfulness, who is God and how to find God through meditation. This blog is their message, their words, their writing. I feel immensely blessed to be their very small instrument as I amplify their message further. This blog is also my very personal spiritual story: the story of my learning on the most beautiful road of spirituality (Not religion). This blog is long but a comprehensive guide to the above question (I promise). You will need 2-3 readings to fully absorb everything that’s written here. So, be slow and thorough to get the most out of it.
