Place God First
Money is more than ink on paper or a mere means of exchange. To most, it is a safety net, though a rather questionable one. If not money, what then is a reliable safety net? God alone. Paradoxically, one can be feel safe only in surrender to God. To be stripped of a fake safety net is to be armed with a genuine one. To be voluntarily stripped of money is to be willingly armed with God. My experience of going to the Himalayas, with a one-way ticket, and without a penny in my pocket, taught me this lesson, in all its glory.
It demonstrated to me how God knows no order of difficulty in manifesting for his devotee all that he needs at any and every point of time. After one such voyage, one gradually learns to operate in his entire life totally from this space of surrender, trusting that God always takes care, even when it appears that He is not.
Life as we know it is unbalanced for the most of us. We tend to focus on work to the exclusive of personal life, health and relationship.
This book drives home this point through an interesting story-line. With support of his wife Disha, Amar – an over-worked travel entrepreneur recognise how his life is unbalanced. He sees this point with total clarity when he loses a friend to workaholism.
He gets a handle on the situation, gradually shifts gears and starts navigating his life and his company in a thoroughly enjoyable and successful way. He learns from people and cultures who have mastered happy as well as successful living.
This book is a must-read for anybody who wishes to realign his priorities and restore work-life balance.

This book is a collection of a vast variety of byte-sized life wisdom. Posts strung together from my Facebook wall of yesteryears from a time when I was intuiting great insights by the day and sharing them publicly. From relationships to love to boundaries, from prosperity consciousness to wealth creation, from psycho-analytics to shadow work, from spiritual bypassing to dynamics of enlightenment; this book has it all. It is eclectic, profound and worth munching over one insight a day for 365 days.
