The Hidden Power

Episode 50 – I am What I am!

'The Hidden Power,' Host Dr Susan Koruthu I am what I am is a feeling that you should develop in life to live in total well-being. In life, everything is an experience and you must not hold on to anything as holding on will create suffocation. Like breathing, everything should pass. Allow yourself to sense them and let them pass. You create everything, your thoughts, memories, well-being, pains, and pressures. You make your thoughts and then thoughts shape you – then why not make better thoughts every time. Do not hold on to a few thoughts. Make sure your confusions and disagreements are checked for validity and ensure you form insights and affirmation through your thoughts. You are an infinite being and have the power to create whatever you want within your capacity. When considering the infinite possibilities, never overburden yourself by over-thinking and over-actions. Possibilities are endless, your capabilities are limitless, but your capacity to take pressure has limits which must be clear to you so that you will not over-pressure yourself. Well-being is a state of mind and you are responsible for your well-being. Mental well-being is above all wellbeing. Make sure that you don’t overexert yourself in your journey towards success. What you need is a comfortable life with total well-being and not an extravagant life with stress. Realise what are the absolute need of your life and set realistic boundaries for your life which will make you happy and create your life well-being. Have a deeper understanding of who you are, what you are and how you are at any given life events or circumstances. Balance yourself during various circumstances by asserting yourself and regulate with the given life situations. Make sure you don’t fall for anything or anyone. Then only you can say I am What I am.

Episode 49 – The Purpose of Life!

'The Hidden Power,' Host Dr Susan Koruthu What is the purpose of your life? Have you ever asked such a question anytime in your life? Even though it is a fundamental question that needs to be answered by everyone, unfortunately, many are confused and unable to find a definite answer. I have asked all my clients during personal grooming sessions to answer the purpose questions. I have received answers like:- to achieve my dream, to help others, make my parents happy, and some say the purpose will be different to different people. In fact, I have been searching for an appropriate answer to this question since I was 15 years old. Only recently, I could find a meaningful answer to the purpose question and that is ‘the purpose of life is to develop all your capabilities and grow up to your maximum capacities’. Each one of us has different talents, abilities and skills. We have different dreams and goals to achieve. We need to achieve them during our life on this planet earth. In fact, there are only two events that are certain in your life, you are born and you will die. It is the time between these two events you have to achieve the purpose of your life. You need to learn and develop all your capabilities and achieve your maximum capacity during your lifetime. That is how you can lead a productive, happy life.

Episode 48 – Being a Pragmatic Person

'The Hidden Power,' Host Dr Susan Koruthu Your mind is an amazing machine that works on your commands. Your mind needs specifics, clarity and closure. If you don’t provide these, your mind will disturb you until it gets it from you. You may be able to keep it quiet for some time, but it will keep asking until it gets definite answers from you. You may have many wishes in your life – people create wish list or bucket lists. Wishes are feeling based. Some of you have wants in your lives – the wants list is more stubborn in nature – wants are attitude-based – a strong or stubborn attitude. People have hopes – hopes give motivation for many to live. Hope is belief-based. To achieve your wishes, wants and hope, you need to do some actions. When your wishes, wants and hopes are connected with actions, it becomes pragmatic.  Pragmatism is any belief that can be turned into actions and achieve or prove through actions is true, or else it is false. What we need is pragmatism, not just wishes, wants or hopes. Be a pragmatic person in life so that you will prove your worth through your focused actions to achieve your defined goals in life.

Episode 47 – Victim Blaming

'The Hidden Power,' Host Dr Susan Koruthu Everyone knows how damaging it was to live as a victim of any abuse such as domestic abuse or sexual or social or workplace abuse. Everyone blames the victim for staying in a relationship or being a victim. They ask the victim if the torture was obvious, then why didn’t you seek help or why didn’t you make the noise in the beginning? Why are you making it a big deal now? Where were you until this time? It was only now you realised you had been abused. Here is common prejudice against the victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse, such as the victims and abusers knew each other prior to the abuse happen. And therefore, the perception is that the victims are in any way responsible for the actions of offenders. The truth is that anyone can be a victim of manipulation and victim-blaming Victim blaming includes: she was asking for it," said of a victim of violence or sexual assault. Disbelieving the victim's story, minimizing the severity of the attack, making comments such as how shameful it is to be in such a state or you are not strong or assertive. How could you get into such trouble? You are an intelligent person and we never expected something like this from you. The victim-blaming scares the victim more than the abuse and it silences the victim The silence of the victim is the catalyst for the abuser. We need to understand that we all become victims at one point of time or a period of time in our life. When we are vulnerable and weak, we become victims. You need to have an empathetic heart and an empathetic ear to hear and support the victims. Develop a non-judgmental attitude and unconditional positive regard to all. Let us make an environment where victims are confident to present their issues confidently to their loved ones. When victims get the confidence of not being blamed or accused of things wrongly happened to them, they will take the courage to share their issues and seek proper help.

Yes, these are your feelings – Self-esteem is your feeling of accomplishment when you achieve something in life. You will have a feeling that I am somebody in the given life context. Self-confidence is your belief in the things that you have not seen. You will have the trust in your abilities to achieve what you believe is there somewhere in this universe and you will be able to achieve it. You will set your SMART goals and will have unwavering faith in your abilities. It is the I can and I will attitude.
