Some excerpts from Life Interrupted include:
On the Ability to Endure
That ability to endure can be broken down into what we perceive as to be the reason for our suffering and our sense of hope in a tangible better future. Even when we are faced with the most trying of circumstances, what we are willing to endure and overcome is directly correlated with what we perceive to be the ultimate outcome of that suffering. That ultimate outcome is related to our sense of hope. As I have mentioned before, that level of hope does not in any way have to be realistic, but it has to be tangible enough in our minds that we may utilize it as a tool to endure the current circumstances.
On Fear
From a societal standpoint we have evolved significantly as a civilization whereby most of our fears are less driven by a fight or flight ability to survive, and more of an emotional evolution where we create environments that both induce our fear and allow it to irrationally perpetuate without any real consequences other than the ones, we have convinced ourselves that theoretically may happen.
On Failure
One must also note that although it is imperative to overcome the fear of failure, like most things in life moderation is key. We cannot confuse our repeated failures without actionable changes in our patterns as being constructive. In the words of Albert Einstein, “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”.
On Finding Eternal Peace
We often try socially to impart our importance on to others, yet the irony of the fact is that it was a fruitless effort, evidenced most when you sit there helpless, temporarily displaced from your world in a form of time warp. Nothing matters at this moment, none of your trivial daily tasks matter, as you are stripped of all ego and left in a meditative state. Often, we find this meditative state hard to reach during our busy lives, and it requires great practice and patience to reach such a state.
Dr. Dua's Survival Guide' is already a winner of CIPA EVVY Award for Motivational/Inspirational books.
