Good Morning,
It’s Ganesh festival, and who better than the elephant god to drop a few life hacks? Think about it.
Be like the elephant: kind and gentle, but strong when necessary. Use those big ears to really listen, tiny eyes to focus, and a small mouth to keep the chatter down. That famous pot belly? Take in everything life serves - the good, the bad, the spicy. The trunk reminds us to act wisely, because every move counts. And the broken tusk? Sometimes, success needs a little sacrifice.
Om Ganapathaye Namah: I bow to Ganesh (the original life coach).
