The problem $ 50 billion could not Wipeout

Again talking about perspectives, which always are interesting I was gathering data on top 10 philanthropy contributions in America alone:
http://www.forbes.com/top-givers/
I hope not to contradict or prove anyone or anything wrong or right. The other side of this will also be analyzed.
I found out that it was in the range of  $ 89 billion   and that is 59,48,97,80,50,000.00 Indian Rupee.
This was a rough summing up, please do correct me if otherwise.
Now considering this - the population of the world is just 7 billion.
Now this was given by the generous souls in their life time meaning the good work helping the needy had been going on for 20 years atleast?
Let us get a bit generous and give them another 10 years, which by current disruption age is huge. Whatsapp valued itself at $ 6.8 billion in 5 years.
Now thats a huge amount Rs. 59,48,97,80,50,000.00 and time - 30 years. Can we say that there would no longer be any poor & needy people in 2025?
This, am analyzing just top 10 givers of US. We then have lakhs of them across US and further down across the world? Would philanthropy be atleast $100 billion for last 20 years?
Now consider this, we know there are rich helping the poor and needy, would it be possible that is the case for last 100 years?

Winners?


I think there’s a difference between successful and unsuccessful people in the way they particularly think about approaching something new. I think unsuccessful people, when they have a big dream and start thinking about what’s going to be required to accomplish that dream, they get very limiting in their beliefs about themselves and what’s possible.

They say three types of things specifically… I don’t know how to do that. So they stop. I don’t have those things. I’m not like those people. So they stop. I’m not like that. So they stop.

Successful people have a different way. They have the same thing. Everybody dreams. You dream, I dream, successful people dream. Everybody dreams and has a vision.

Whereas, successful that people say I want to do that but I don’t know how and instead of stopping they say, then my job is to go learn that. They take their current limitation and put it on their agenda as a job to do, as a thing to figure out and make happen. Instead of saying, I don’t have that. They say then my job is to go build that. Or, I’m not like that than they say my job is to go become more of that, become that person who could accomplish those things.

Depart from the noise above

As meditation progress feel detached but aware of your thoughts. They become like the rivers where, on the surface there remains a strong flow of currents. But as you dive deep and deep the under current reduces. The silence increases more and more. But as you look up the current remains, the fallen leaves and unwanted things still keep tossing around, flowing. Go deeper within and remain observant of the silence getting deeper and deeper. The surface still would have thoughts flowing which doest not affect.

Fear

When we take analysis of Fear one step inside - Existence of Fear is because of the gap between 'What is' and 'What will be'. If the 'What will be' is something you 'Don't want' then it 'could' end up labeled Fear. If 'What will be' is something you 'Want' , then it is labeled Hope.

So it is interesting to note that the bridge between the two states is what causes a situation to be Fear vs Hope. So your selection of 'Want' vs 'Dont want' is what causes the same situation to become Fear for one and Hope for other.

Now if we take this one more step inside & forget the bridge - Fear exists because of the existence of the two states - 'What is' and 'What will be'. As long as you do move from the 'What is' state - you would not have fear.

So this explains why enlightened individuals might not feel fear at all. They are forever in the 'What is' state? So Fear has one meaning - You still have subjected yourself to two states of mind.

Decisions takes a toll

To the earlier message on focus, its scientifically proven, the lesser decisions you take, the more willpower you have,
which translates to achieving our goals.

https://youtu.be/WhbYBb0huMs
"Make fewer decisions. The more decisions we make, the more fatigued our brain becomes and the less effective we are over the long-term. So, first, stop browsing so much! Mindlessly browsing consumes incredible amounts of brainpower; every new link and every new piece of information to pay attention to eats up your mental energy and reserves. It costs you not only your focus, but your willpower and futurefocal power as well. If you’re looking for something, search for ONE thing, find it… and then stop. Limit your browsing and get back your brain."

And decisions are at every moment of life:
-  When you browse hours on flipkart, amazon etc on what to buy, it eats up your willpower.
-  when you browse news articles,  on which to read or give attention to.
-  when you have a conflict with a relationship and argue within yourself, right - wrong, say - not to say. It just burns willpower  up.
-  when you spend 10min deciding what to wear to work, to marriage.
-  when you decide what to cook each day.
-  when you decide, to overtake or not in traffic.
-  when you decide, to respond to any whatsapp message or not.
-  when you keep checking the phone for new messages. Is there a new one for me to respond?
Self help gurus say - if you are one who is not stuck in situations like these, chances are you can be an achiever.
Pay Attention to all decision making moments of life and keep it to the least time.

In-laws! Defnitely a wrong finding

In-laws is a wrong word used. In fact it should have been Out-laws ie if we were to coin 'In' as a positive vibe and 'Out' as negative. I live in this society for the past 39 years, I base this observation from this, I see quite a few in-laws to in-laws relationship behave like out-laws.
There is always an unwritten thought process - post 'Marriage' ie of the - your family vs my family demarcation. The degrees vary:
You spend all your money for your family.
You spend more time for them than me.
You have not helped my brother vs you helped your brother.
Your brother does not help in kitchen vs you help in kitchen.
We have no privacy because of your in laws and so on.

So I guess 'In-laws' should be renamed as 'Out-laws'?

My first death, can i face it?

If i can smile at my first death, then i can smile at my last death. 
All say- i  am not afraid to die.  Would that be true?
Please note all the incidents in life, for it really tells you how you might face your death.

For example, when the near ones moves away, keep observing:
The vacuum created inside,
The suction felt at the heart,
The emptiness felt in the tummy,
The thumping felt in the head,
The immense need to cry out loud, with no sound coming out,
The resounding sound of No, No which echoes from the heart, but the events just happens.
The shrilling cry within - saying i am loosing, i wont allow, but the event just happens.

The day they leave will be my first death. The news has shaken. The happening remains to be seen. The cry is drilling hard. 
It makes me stronger, i will have my vengeance, i will taste the  blood, I am ready to die a dogs death.
Returning to the house? Do it feel like visiting a place of death?
If i am shaken for this incident, would i  not break at the event of facing my death?

The suffering is unending, the conversation i had with colleague encourages me to stand up. 
The last man standing in the fight ring wins!
Use short term solutions to fight long term wars.
Use ego to hit back short term, but eventually ego hits you back. 
Like, use alcohol to be at peace short term, but long run it would drown you out.
 
So remember the ultimate solution:
Rule the mind and you have ruled them all - the opponent and yourself.
For it is true, No wonder god has put mind on your top!
