The world is like a buffet counter at a
five-star hotel. Let’s not grab everything on our plates. Let us be choosy, so
that we may avoid spiritual indigestion and physical exhaustion.
v
Let us replace stress with positive emotions
that engender joy. Let us increase our HQ.

‘I felt like a waterfall,’ said Diane
Roffe-Stainrotter, gold-medallist skier in the 1994 Winter Olympics. The joy of
a job perfectly executed, fills the body with the chemicals of bliss.

Professor Mihalyi Csikzent speaks about a state
called the flow, which athletes, musicians, surgeons—in fact
everyone—experiences when they are at their best. It is the experience of doing
your job with
v
total immersion in it. So absorbed are you, that
there is no place for anxiety or niggling worries.
v
Finding a job you love is one of the ways you
can immunise yourself against heart problems.
v
A good marriage is a protective shield against
heart attacks.
v
The capacity to enjoy the free gifts of
Nature—sunlight, rain or flowers—allows the chemicals of bliss to flow. It is
in this gentle chemical bath that the body is able to replace dying and dead
tissues.
v
Merely avoiding negative emotions is not enough;
one should consistently cultivate the positive emotions of love, compassion,
courage and peace.
