Prosperity and peace are the words we find on the greeting cards and from people around us but it has eluded us long back. Probably there is something wrong with the way we deal with things and life. Chanakya had an idea how to solve this major issue that hounds almost all households.

In his work Chanakya niti, he has explained all concepts and reflects on life and provides solutions to it. Here are some key insights that help us evolve and acquire the kind of prosperity and peace that we expect from life.

1. Modern life provides us more convenience than what we expect; however, it comes with a heavy price tag which we pay unwillingly and completely. It takes a toll on many aspects of our life, most importantly health. Stress is the outcome of running the rat race of life. Stress robs us of our peace of mind and multiplies with time unless we try to put a stop to it. Peace of mind can be regained through several methods and each of us have a method that we follow. Some can de-stress by listening to music, some by reading books, some by social interactions, and some by meditation. We should always be without greed, as this becomes an endless cycle of wants and also causes deep stress that can go only by banishing stress. So peace of mind is important for a human being. Worries and tensions reduce by half, when you are not stressed.

2. Adjustment and living in harmony with every one is the best way to be as there is no stress. Being excessively egoistic, leads to disruption in relationships and social alienation. Neither can we live without people around us nor can we live with swollen head comfortably. Arrogance leads to several pitfalls. Arrogance masks your abilities and does not let your talents be used productively. Ego and arrogance invite distress and helpless ness finally. A man needs to be a social animal and he should have friends and people around him whose help he needs every now and then to continue with his life. Being independent helps, only for some time and when trouble comes in , you realise how hard you have been on yourself.

3. Greed always shrouds the wisdom in man and lets him take a deviant path. An unethical path always brings with it multiple headaches, wrong decisions, and wrong doings and finally a stressed out of which there is no escape. Greed has not end. Fulfilment of one thing leads to disillusionment about the outcome and this leads to another desire. This is a vicious cycle that never stops. Man always forgets that he can desire anything to the extent he deserves. If his desires and his abilities do not match in any way, what is the point. He will end up being frustrated and disappointed. He would lose his cool and indulge in inappropriate acts . It is best nip greed in the bud before it builds into something huge.

4. Anger is an enemy of man. Anger is a weird kind of sword and when you wield it, it does not kill the other person, it kills you. Usually angry people do not succeed in life as they are prone to come up with bizarre reactions to the simplest of situations. Calm mind is where all the plans work, successful decisions are taken and also it improves your health by ridding you of stress. Angry people are so unpredictable that any one hesitates before befriending such people. They make bad coworkers, bad spouses, bad bosses and bad friends. It is the moment of anger that spills out your bosom friends dirty secret out in public, it is anger that hatches cantankerous plans and it is anger that leads to fistfights and it is anger that finally kills you,

5. Life is not only about sharing happiness and sunshine, it is also about holding an umbrella when there is downpour. Life also requires you to have a human consideration towards one another's faults. It is about remembering that life is also about giving and you are entitled to take only when you give. You won't lose anything by beaming a smile and speaking sweetly to anyone. When you are so soft with your close friends, and so well-mannered towards even strangers, why can't you be that with your spouse? Surely your loved ones deserve more than just this.

6. Money spent extravagantly also leads to a hole in your pocket. Not only this it induces you to spend on unnecessary and unethical things as well. It leads to a plethora of problems if you have a family to fend. It is said that Goddess Lakshmi resides in the place where money is respected and economized and not where it is scattered away in too many purchases. It is good to save because it saves your money for a rainy day. Buy something only when it is utterly necessary and do not buy if you feel it is a luxury item which you can do without. Draw a line between necessities and luxuries and live within your means. Then your assets would come of use to you.
