We are in the 21st century where we all are technology freak, daily we face a

mini-war of ‘What and Should’ inside our mind. What will happen if we make this decision? Or should we ask our boss for a hike in salary? This and many more such dilemmas surround us but shall we let confusion enter us or decide firmly? #Krishna, the epitome of human has

taught us to make situations favorable by working hard. Don’t complain, instead, if you want something, work hard to get it.

Lessons from the Life of Shree Krishna-
Centuries ago Shree Krishna gave us the wisdom to decide wisely. He acted as a friend, as a moral compass and

a philosopher for his friends, to all those who met him in his life, irrespective of if they were his elders, peers or younger to him. He taught first to win the war of mind then take action. He taught us to formulate strategies and then act firmly on it. He grew up

but in the end, one will start having a bird’s eye view of the situation.

Act without Expecting-

and if we follow this rule then our efforts will be more meaningful, sincere and collective and we will appreciate the reward more.

Lens of Camera-
Shree Krishna taught us to become the lens of a camera, the lens that considers everyone equally, the lens that teaches us to

have a similar equation with everyone. A person can be our son, parent or someone whom we love dearly but our feelings shouldn’t hover over our decision. Virtue is the key. Don’t make life decisions with the weight of feelings on your shoulder. Decide what is right and

for the best for everybody. Have a larger perspective.

A Cool Mind-
The God also taught us to handle situations coolly, to de-stress ourselves. Spend time with your family members or with the people you love. Give yourself a ‘me-time’. A stress-free mind makes life a

new views; give your thoughts a wing. Plan properly, execute your plans, be flexible and adaptive, change as the situation requires and improvise your plans as you go forward.

Have Faith-
Act with faith in your heart. Even if you are doing some charity, kindness or taking

some decisions in family matters or it is a professional decision. Whatever you decide, decide with truthfulness and belief in yourself. If this is done, then success will always be yours.

Be Noble, Act Noble-
Shree Krishna taught us to be noble and set high standards in

our life. He encouraged us to move towards a greater level in life, to learn from all those people who can teach us, to accept failure, aim for success and keep growing in life, and most important to connect with your true self. Every individual has free-will but Shree

Krishna encourages us to live a de-stressed life, a life full of happiness and motivation.
