A Case Study

A daughter is giving a huge thanks to her single mother, while sharing her story with us and her mother’s love after attending our session “Art of Success for Parenting”

Preeti: “ While I was attending the session, AK Mishra’s Art of Success, Suddenly between the session, AK Mishra Sir posed this question: Who has influenced your life the most? I thought for a while, and realized, it was no one else, but “My Mother”

I recalled when I was just 5yrs old, my Dad died. That time when my dad was with us, the life was so beautiful and easy. It seemed like we were on the top of the world. My dad was making good money and we were living in a big house in Bandra, Mumbai. Then my dad was diagnosed with cancer and died in next 5 months. That’s when we found out that my dad didn’t have any great life insurance. Nor we had enough savings, as everything was going so smooth; we never had a thought of something like this ever.

During the session, when I was hearing the struggle stories, shared by parents during the session, I reflected back on my life, I realize how difficult it would had been for my mother to handle this sudden turn of life, upbringing of a 5yrs kid and providing her good education being a single parent. most of what I am today, I learned from a tough, courageous woman who went to work hard day and night to get me ready for life. I realize now how many success principles she displayed while living out her life. One of the principles I learned from my mom was to “never complain”. It was tough for my mom, she really got a bad deal, but as I look back, I cannot remember any of her complaining about her tough times in life. And I used to complain for all those small things she couldn’t give to me without realizing that she was actually giving her life to me. But now I have actually learnt those principles which I am going to follow throughout my life. She only had one goal in her mind, to give her daughter a beautiful life. She did not marry again as she used to be scared if the man would love her daughter or not. My mother has not only been a mother for me, but an idol Women, a friend who always guided me at every step. I remember when my mother used to take me at her conference and seminars, when I was 11yrs old, not because she did not provide me babysitter, but she wanted me to learn something. The way AK Mishra sir portrayed the love of parents for their kids by his words and strong facts he shared, narrating stories, examples; I literally had tears in my eyes throughout the seminar, tears of pleasure for having such wonderful mother in my life. Thanks to AK Mishra’s Art of Success.”

This is the story of a mother and daughter, who faced sudden enormous change in their life, and how her mother took all those tough moments and challenges on herself and saved her daughter from all the negative effects. We actually feel proud for organizing such session on this beautiful module “Art of Success for Parenting” as we can actually see how it makes kids realize the parents’ emotions and sacrifices they make to give their kids a beautiful life, as this daughter realized.

This is dedicated to all of those single moms out there. You are doing a tough job. Stay determined and love your kids. They’ll see your life and turn out all right.

One relationship which is always with us is the one we share with our mothers. They are our guiding force and are responsible for making us who we are. Mothers also shape our lives and our personalities and crediting them for the same is something one should do at every opportunity. Although, we should not forget that the same contribution comes from fathers as well, and without a father, it becomes too arduous for a mother to give her child the same upbringing and nurturing the way she could provide with a father figure. But undoubtedly, we have those courageous mothers who do not only play role of both father and mother in kid’s life, but also nurture their kid so beautifully and bring out amazingly independent personalities from the kids.

On this special occasion, every kid should realize how special they have been treated by their lovely mothers. We might have our own individualistic approach in paying tribute to these amazing people in our lives, OUR MOTHER. AK Mishra’s Art of Success dedicates this day to all the beautiful mothers and wishes every kid a very good luck for making their mothers feel how special and wonderful creature they are, crafted by master’s craftsman.

The benevolent Universe

We live in a magnanimous Universe whose ultimate purpose and desire is for you to comprehend, harmonize and live through the concept of awareness, acceptance, compassion, love and unconditional abundance. You have called on this earth for a sole purpose to combine spiritual and material energies together ultimately to bring heaven on earth for you, while creating a sense of forgiveness, expand awareness and unconditional compassion that lifts your own consciousness and set a paradigm of true humanity.

It wasn’t an accident that you born on this earth as a human being, but you are born with a soul purpose, and that sole purpose is to “be” who you are, and your doing (which is your Karma) flows from your being. This means, your Karma is secondary, the first things needs to remain clean is your soul, your inner being and your true self. When your inner being is well, your Karma or your doing will gradually flow on right directions.

When you focus on “doing”, you often lose your connection with the spiritual awareness. On the other hand, by focusing on “being” aspect of your nature, you can effortlessly integrate your material doing while keeping your spiritual focus activated and always presented. Although, your Karma are the most required in order to achieve anything in life, but your spiritual awareness, your faith on universe, your connection with God and divine should always be present in your heart.

For instance, when you face obstacles or challenges in life, you either start cribbing or try to do even more, rather than looking for the spiritual purpose behind that problem or challenge and you often ignore the spirit guided solutions that always be present available to you. While continuously focusing on doing more and more with fewer blessing and rewards, you begin feeling like a victim of your own life. But you create this victim-hood when you focus on material and neglect spiritual while focusing on “doing” instead of “being”.

Why do we expect miracles when nothing remains in our control? And how those miracles happen? Because, at that moment, we do not have any choice or anything to do, except surrendering the situation on God and Universe with complete faith. Creating heaven on earth requires faith, patience and trust that the universe will always serve your higher deeds and stand by you at every difficult or smooth situation. Hence your efforts are required, your deeds are always required, but devotion of few minutes on meditation, remembering God, taking blessings from universe is equally requisite in order to bring heaven on earth and understand the sole purpose of difficulties and challenges life throws at you.

He even went one further and said you show me your friends and I will show you your future. Mark also told that it is important to tell your parents how much you love and care for them for once they are dead you will be left with the feeling of life-long repentance and guilt.
