IN SEARCH OF ME

WORK BOOK

RAM

I am not an intellectual guru, nor claim to be

one. I am just another person that you meet

everyday in your life. I do not promise

salvation nor am I promulgating a new

religion.

All I am trying to do here is to help you get

you know better. I am trying to create

confusion in your mind by planting my

thoughts, as I believe that this seed of

confusion would set you thinking and

provide clarity on what you want in life.

When mind is clear, nothing can get you

worried. A clear mind never gets anxious but

gets curious. Curiosity helps you explore

more about you and about the people around you. This has a cyclic effect and you reach a

state where you are less anxious about life.

That is when you learn to extract maximum

from life.



When you are less anxious about things,

people, your expectations lie low. When your

expectations are low they don’t affect you

when you are faced with uncertainty. It helps

you stay undeterred and steer yourself to do

better things in life.

How many times have you observed the world

around you and appreciated the beauty of

things around you? If you say not so often,

don’t worry you are not alone. Most of us view

life as one big race and we try to run unaware

of things we miss in quest of our dreams. But

once we reach there how many times have we

stopped and cherished the success we have

achieved. Very few do that.

It is really amazing how much we attribute our

profession to reflect what we are. When you

ask a person what are you, you hear answers

from CEO, to VP to Actor or Doctor. You rarely

get to hear people disassociate from their

professions to reveal what they are. Sadly, we

all believe that present is permanent. What

happened to Jimmy Carter, or Clinton – do we

really know what they are up to now. How

many actors/actresses have faded in our

memories? If that can happen to people who

are well known, what are we?

If we really remove our mask and see the

reality then our attitude towards life, towards

people would change. This would be the first

step to break our EGO. If we understand

Richness is relative, position is not permanent

nor is life then we would open a new leaf in our

book of life.

If we all can do that then imagine the kind of

world we all could create. I would not claim

that you have made the correct decision in

buying “In search of me” as I firmly believe



that if you are destined to find out the you in

you it will happen anyways. As already said I

would be happy if this book triggers some

thoughts to set you rolling and this workbook

is to help you to do that. You can use the

workbook after completely reading the main

book and reflect on each topic mentioned in

the book. Reflections normally reveal your

present state of mind and it does not reveal the

true you. To find out more about you, you need

to travel deep into you. This is what you will be

doing with this workbook.

The workbook is divided into two parts. The

first part of the workbook helps you to analyze

your reflections. This section has some simple

exercises to warm you up before you start analyzing your reflection. Use a separate

sheet for these warm up exercises as you will

be revisiting this section every time you start

fresh. This section would help you bring you to

the same state of mind you that would help

you to conduct an analysis . I strongly suggest

that you maintain a record of your warm up

exercises and urge you to revisit them every

time you start your analysis fresh, to see if you

are making any progress.

After completing the warm up exercises you

can proceed to reflection analysis section. In

this section you should analyze each reflection

of yours. Write down your reflection on the top

of the sheet and then analyze this reflection

using different emotions. The sheet has six

sections. Each section has an emotion that

has to be reflected by you when you analyze

the reflection. For example if the section asks

you to analyze the emotion with love, feel that emotion and then analyze it. Similarly if the

section asks you to analyze the reflection

objectively then reflect that emotion when you

analyze it.



It might be a bit difficult at the beginning to

take our emotions from wide range of

emotions so fast. Anything is difficult when we

do it the first time. How many times have we

hurt ourselves before learning how to walk,

ride a bike. Perseverance is the key. Keep

trying. Analyzing it through various lenses

would provide an understanding of how you

see yourself with that particular thought. After

you complete each section you could use the

second section of the workbook and write

down your final thoughts. This is the you or

the true you and this is where your search

ends. Although the subjects given here are

limited you could expand the scope of the

sections to suit your convenience.

This document should be used as a sweet

reminder whenever you go through emotional

swings. You will be amazed to see how it

would help you get hold of things. If you need

to derive true benefits from this exercise

please be sincere and honest to the whole

process.

If you find this book helpful I request you to

visit the website www.Insearchofme.com and

reflect your experiences be it positive or

negative. I intend building a community of like

minded individuals to make the world a better

place to live for us , for our siblings and for the

future.

I really think so

My gut feeling is we are always looking for something,, some answers, some solution

I feel that life is not a race

Am I not assuming a lot of things

I want certain things, but I don’t want it badly,. I can live without that, especially If I know I cant afford it But I do want certain things that I can afford or that

I can get by working harder.

If I can afford and if I t makes me reflect me then I do need it.

So, I do want things that would make me feel good.

Am I right in making this statement?

Do I need any information to make strengthen my thoughts
