Dear Readers,
Picture this: it’s a rainy morning, and you’re cozied up with a hot cup of coffee. Ever wonder how it got there? Behind that perfect brew is a milkman, braving storms, sunshine, and bad roads to deliver your daily dairy. Now, here’s the twist — this isn’t just a tale of milk; it’s a metaphor for life’s grand truth: Interdependence for Independence.
Let me explain.
We humans are emotional beings with 101 needs (give or take a few). From your spouse’s hug to your boss’s approval, life is a constant exchange of give-and-take. The milkman gives you milk; you give him money. Your boss gives you a paycheck; you give your skills. Life is one big barter system!
But here’s where we mess up: our attitude. If you see the milkman’s job as mere duty — "I pay, he delivers" — you miss the magic. Instead, try this: silently bless him. Acknowledge his unwavering effort. You’ll find your morning coffee not only tastes better but feels better. Similarly, bless your spouse, your boss, your team, and even that annoying colleague. Watch how life blooms with mutual gratitude.
Enter the Commission Agent Within
Now, let’s talk about the clever design of the universe. Each of us comes pre-installed with a “commission agent” — call it your conscience, gut feeling, or the little voice inside. This agent knows your unique blueprint and whispers guidance: Do this, don’t do that.
But here’s the catch: there’s only one right way to do things, and a hundred ways to mess up. The truth? Singular and straight. Lies? Plentiful and convoluted. So, when your inner voice suggests something Dharmic (morally upright), listen! Ignore it, and your life’s GPS might just reroute you into chaos.
Takeaway: Be grateful for those around you. Trust your inner commission agent. And next time you sip your coffee, think about the milkman who made it possible — and maybe, just maybe, extend that gratitude to your better half.
Signing off with a smile,
Ravi
P.S. If this resonated, share it with your spouse, your boss, or even your milkman. They all deserve a bit of joy too! 😊
