Nithya Shanti's 80/20 feedback   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #149 of 242 |

Dear Friends,

I'm really fortunate to have such wonderful friends like you! So many of you took the time and effort to respond to my 80/20 awareness exercise. I'm really touched.

Now I'm not sure everyone will be interested in reading this, but since some of you have requested me to compile the responses (and also b'cos I love to convince people how wonderful I am!), here goes: Following are the loving (and sometimes funny) responses I received for the questions I posted here recently...

 
1) What sort of thing really excites Nithya Shanti? What have you heard him be most passionate about?

 Being Happy

HELPING PEOPLE ACTUALIZE THEIR HIDDEN POTENTIAL/DREAMS/HELPING IN THEIR SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT. USING INNOVATIVE METHODS FOR THIS PURPOSE

Loving Intention, Being Happy, Love, Gratitude, Intentionality and Manifestation.

Xcite:Smart techniques for a better life. Passion:spreading happiness all around.

knowledge... gathering... simplifying... sharing

 I think Nithya gets excited when he finds something that can change the lives of people around him. It may be a new meditation practice, or a new perspective or a new insight…and things like that…

I think he is most passionate about SHARING his knowledge/experience

I think NS is most passionate about passion itself, and I think he can probably find it in almost anything. In fact, I think that's one of his strongest traits. Nevertheless, if I were to choose a general subject, I think NS is passionate about the progress of humankind.

 A :Anything that He could do to bring in more happiness for the people of the world.
I have heard Him to be most passionate about bringing about a wave of awareness around  Him.

Spreading happiness, enlightenment,  living and sharing unconditional love. Helping others by generously sharing knowledge which leads to success and abundance in life. 



2) Imagine that Nithya becomes famous in his lifetime. What possible of things may he be celebrated for?
 
Sharing easy ways/Techniques for being happy. And a lot for BEING GENEROUS.

INTELLIGENCE, WIT, HUMOUR, LAUGHTER, SMILE, HELPING, COUNSELLING 
 
Integrity (outer action in complete alignment with inner beliefs/experience)
Compassionate giving
Joyful interactions
Presence
Clarity of thought and expression
Having a magic bag of tools and techniques that help others reach higher/deeper that he is always gifting away

Famous:For his smile,speed n simple secrets for hadayoli.

teaching joy...

 Enlightened being, healer, world peace Nobel Prize winner, and I also think you will be a successful entrepreneur should you choose to follow that path …
 
Perhaps for being a popular spiritual guide ?

First of all, I think he has already achieved a certain level of fame and I hope that he recognizes that.
I think he'll be most celebrated for inspiring/empowering others to be peaceful and joyful--primarily because people really enjoy that. I think he'll make other contributions, but this will be the most recognized--and what a beautiful thing for which to be celebrated! I envision a statue in the future showing a peacefully laughing Nithya Shanti--hopefully without a potbelly :D

A: What else but for "Being Happy"! :)

 Sharing and spreading happiness and unconditional love.
 Being a leader in educating people to access spirituality and the power of the mind to achieve success and well being for life.
 


3) What is the single most distinctive thing about Nithya that defines above all his individuality? What is most different/ unique about him?

 UNSELFISH LOVE TO ALL BEINGS

 COOL KALYAN MITRA

All of the above........most of all Integirty.

Self content at such a young age where many ppl are craving 4 sm or
the other things.
 
Boundless Compassion along with Humour and Playfullness

He is a person with a higher conscious, somebody more than his body and mind.

Clarity of purpose

I'd say his adamant adherence to being loving and his positivity are the most distinctive things about him.

Also, he has this odd, almost nonabrasive arrogance that propels him forward without repelling others.

I don't know anyone else who has willingly brought major, potentially ostracizing changes into their life and maneuvered through them with ease (from what I can gage). I don't know anyone else who lives with that sort of "active authenticity". Bravo!

A: His ability to appeal to anyone who's seeking peace.
 
Ability to access his innate spirituality which enables him to confidently follow his heart, believing in the infinite power & abundance of the universe.


4) What do you think Nithya would be happiest and most fulfilled doing?

 Teaching/Sharing Being happy techniqes to as many as poss[ible]

WOULD LIKE TO QUOTE RAMAN MAHARSHI: SELF REALIZATION IS THE BEST SOCIAL SERVICE.
 
HELPING OTHERS WOULD FULFILL YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE BUT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP LOOKING WITHIN, AS YOUR OWN MEDITATION PRACTICE WILL GIVE YOU THE ENERGY REQUIRED TO HELP OTHERS

Healing

 Anything that catalyses people to move towards their highest selves........the Hadayoli workshops and similar work.

4.Spreading n updating the knowledge n live happily with your better
half ,ur team mate,soul mate so that physical,mental,social n
spiritual all the 4 needs are satisfied.Or i can say
self,family,society n carrier all the 4 basic pillars of life will be
in balance.

making the world a happier place...
 
He would be most happy helping people live better lives in all perspectives; financially, socially, emotionally and spiritually

 Teaching

Besides being loving 24/7? No idea...but it'll be more than one thing.
I guess we'll all find out soon!

A: Seeing more Smiles ..  :)

Leading an organization which allows him to utilize his spiritual gifts, intellectual prowess &  lecturing/charismatic communication skills to benefit the largest audience possible. 


5) What one thing is Nithya best at, and better at than anyone else you know?

 
UNSELFISH and GENEROUS

COOL SPIRITUALITY...LIGHTHEARTED ENLIGHTENMENT

 Generosity
Being able to glean out the essence (the most important stuff) from many domains of knowledge and many sources of wisdom.....to be able to recognise different flavours of the same truth and honour them.

Engaging people towards spiritual journey mixing modern methods/tools with ancient ones

5.To get things done from others without making them feel they have been used.

giving away everything he has...

 Nithya has the gift of speaking and holding people's attention in doing so.

Not getting distracted ?

A: I hope to find that soon..
 
Leading compassionately by example


6) What occupation /role do you think Nithya is best suited to?
 
Teaching/Sharing Being happy techniqes

 COUNSELLING, TRAINING, COACHING (IF YOU REMEMBER, I'D MENTIONED THIS EVEN BEFORE YOU BECAME A MONK)

Healer


A transformational leader/teacher.........
.primarily people-oriented.......the means can vary.....through interactions, writings etc.


6.Actually you can do wonders in any field you enter.Training can be a
gd occupation.

happy teacher...

I think he can be successful at anything that he wants to pursue. I see him as a motivational speaker somebody like Jerry and Esther Hicks, Wayne Dyer and so on

 Teacher/Educator

I think Nithya is best suited to an occupation/role that involves verbal expression. I think more than one occupation is optimal or, at the very least, a role that has the potential to evolve and expand. Change and variety are good (and, from what I can gage, he handles them well).Also, I think he's more of a leader than a follower, so some sort of leadership role is better.

A: If there were something called as a "Happiness master", then I'd rather He be that.

CEO/lecturer/motivational speaker/public speaking.


7) Think laterally about a different new arena or activity that Nithya might be excellent at, preferably far removed from his current one. Be creative and surprising, perhaps not even entirely serious.

Taking Healing request from pple and help them overcome from difficulties

CREATIVITY: VISUAL AS WELL AS VERBAL

Author/writer/poet/film maker/comedian

7.Singing,you can really use your voice professionally.
  u r a gd instructor too.ref.physical fitness.
  n if you try for dance...you will be just amazing versatile trainer nithya...
you can include your musical talents in your joyshops too.

Song writing / PR / writing a funny book on 'creative ways to insult people'....being a writer
 
A college teacher ?. Being a part of an institution  makes it easier to disseminate and influence thoughts.

Actually, I'm not sure what his current activity is--Hadayoli-ist? I'll start from there...
I don't want to be serious, but I am serious about this: I get the feeling that Nithya is invested in healthy, organic, fresh food, so I think some sort of agricultural entrepreneurship would be enjoyable. One of the reasons I'm really looking forward to the Happy U/"land thing" is that he (and all others) will have the resources to build a strong, positive community that has the potential to be actively involved in responsible, organic farming--and to empower others to uphold responsible agricultural practices.

 
A:A motivational writer...

Working toward being CEO of a major financial institution, biotech  or medical device corporation; actor (Hollywood and Bollywood!!); singer/songwriter; movie producer; author; public relations/marketing; psychologist; medical school-neurosurgery or neurology;  starting/owning a high end restaurant; promoter-concerts/sports/any area;  male model ( not serious-too boring for you!!!);  leading travel expeditions;  professor;


8) If Nithya Shanti were to start a new venture that becomes amazingly successful, what might that enterprise be? Use your imagination.    

 
Happiness University!!

HAPPINESS UNIVERSITY

 A center for `Higher' Studies :)

Publishing

8."Nithya shanti dhaam" where there will be everything under one roof
which i have mentioned above...Well yeh rahe aapke sabhi sawalonke jawab.

A 'happyTV' Channel is a distinct possibility... 

 I think it will be great if Nithya were to start a school/ education institution for children. I think it will be immensely useful to our society if we could train our future generations' right from Kindergarten to think and act positively, individualistically and creatively rather than fall into the mind set of the society. I see little Buddhas radiating joy and peace around them. What a wonderful blessing that would be….

 Perhaps he should do joyshops or meditation workshops for younger people ...primary college and college goers too ? I think the benefits are enormous if one starts younger. Catch 'em early :-)  

Well, I'm biased, but I think he'll be successful in whatever he chooses... he has a lot of clarity about what he's good at and what he's here to do...environment/agriculture seems to stick out... empowerment of the disadvantaged and neglected populations. That will require a lot of patience, love and entrepreneurial skill, which he has...I think he'll have a very diverse portfolio (tasks and finances)....I think he could be a children's author (think Shel Silverstein) or a poet--amongst other things.

A: Answering the above questions for a premium ! :)

International Centers of Excellence for Happiness, Health, Wealth, Longevity,  accessing the abundance of the universe.  Teaching meditation, stress reduction and keys to healthy lifestyle tailoring methods to individuals (and corporations), medical conditions, etc.


 
I'm so grateful that you took the time to help me develop my self-awareness with this exercise. I am definitely going to use your feedback to focus on my core 20% strengths.
I will reply personally to each one of you who responded over the next few days...even those who wrote in just to say they don't know me well enough to respond!

There is a peaceful sky behind every passing cloud...and I can see you flying there!
 
Nithya Shanti
