This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have worked with some slum kids in Delhi (My Angels Academy) and i was able to make them happier by encouraging them about their life. Also i have spent the bulk of my last 7 years with self help books trying to find the purpose of my life and encouraging myself and those around me to improve my life and those around me.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have not taught much, but when i was with the Angels in Delhi, i used to teach them simple things like “How we Learn” and also because the academy was a football academy, i taught them various important aspects of Football especially “How to kick the football with power, (bullet shot)”. I enjoyed teaching these kids a lot of things and a lot of times, the kids wanted me to teach them and this encouraged me as well as them.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
While working with My Angels Academy, i was heavily involved in raising funds for them. So i was organised and my way of getting to the world was by making YouTube videos and i did manage to get two people to fund towards the MAA.

1. I love playing Football and it brings a lot of joy because i am fully in the activity during the one hour of the game and i don’t have any other thoughts during this 1 hour of play. I also like playing volleyball. I think its the team effort and the fun involved which makes it fun for me. and also i love doing activities which exercise the body. Also i was involved in sporting activities from a very young age (from 6 years) , playing sports was the only reason i used to attend school :).

2. When i finish a YouTube video and get it uploaded onto YouTube, i feel accomplished. Even though i do not enjoy the process of actually editing and making the video, i love the fact that i put something out to the world which other people can see and i feel very happy that i have done something productive with my day. I also think that videos are a great way to spread awareness in such a quick and easy manner.

3. I enjoy eating good healthy protein rich food and having good useful conversation with people about how we can improve our lives and not gossiping and talking bad of others. Also i enjoy dancing and watching good mind using movies.

I love working with young energetic mentally and physically strong people. I also like working with funny and happy people. It keeps my juices flowing and i can keep going as well :).

The need for the Bible to be told exactly as it is to the Christians and without having all the rituals and other stuff which makes the people bored. This is one of the major reasons i liked the Exodus service as it was very real and very much like the Saddleback church by Rick Warren. Exodus was a no nonsense church and this direct way will help more people to come into christianity. Interpreting the Bible as it is because we humans made religion, Jesus and God just wanted us to become disciples of God and DO what God says.
Another concern for me is that christianity is not just a 2 hour sermon on Sunday, its being a disciple of God every single moment of the Day. I would like more people to know about this.

[A]bilities

In January i started working as an Investment advisor with LIC. Later on i understood the importance of combining it with Index funds and Crypto currencies. I like making sure that people get the most out of their investments without being cheated. I understand that money is not everything but having money gives peace of mind.

I have worked as a Service Engineer in Scotland Aberdeen in the Oil & Gas field. I worked as an engineer for nearly 9 years. I have worked as a Steward for Football games in the Newcastle stadium, I have also worked in the kitchen.

I am an extrovert and i am good at talking with random strangers, also i am a happy person and like to do crazy things. I like getting more people to be their true natural self. I am PERSISTENT when i have a got something to focus on, but now with the presence of God in my life i think i can be even more persistent with a real cause to make God smile. I like having good HABITS in my life. I do want God to tell me what i should focus on to make him happier and also to keep me happy. I like learning about things that i am interested in.

I have taught young kids about how our brain learns things. The answer is by having a habit. Just like learning to drive a car. I make a 1 week YouTube video teaching about “How to kick the football with power (the bullet shot)”, i have also made a 30-day body transformation video about how to transform my body within 30 days. The links are here
Football – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roVUsJ_w2NE
Body – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcRBj8Ul3GA
I am a bit shy about the Body video but this was the last day and i put it here.

Being a person who really wants to improve the lives of others, bringing happiness on other people. Being a people person, my knowledge and interest in developing as a human being.

Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

[E]xperience

All my life i had no clue with what i am doing with my life. I was just going through life just like others in the society. In 2012 as i was working as an engineer, i just had no clue where i am going with my life. So then, i started searching for what is the purpose of my life and i was so confused about everything that was written everywhere, like all the autobiographies and motivational videos and quotes. I even wrote a book about how to find the purpose of my life and did Vipassana meditation but NONE OF THESE THINGS WORKED. In mid of December 2017 i was feeling very sad and down and so i looked at my schooling days, and i saw that i used to pray a lot. So i prayed to the Lord and asked him “What is your (God) purpose for my life?”. I instantly got an answer from him saying “Go and spread the word of God”. This was a surprise to me as i was not a full believer of Christ but from then on i started learning more about God and Jesus Christ. I am right now reading the Purpose Driven Life and going to start chapter 29. Having and learning to trust God has given me a lot of hope in my life and i can slowly start breathing easily.

I was a member of the CSI Emmanuel cathedral. I was there because my parents went there and i really didn’t have any faith during my days when i got there. I used to go here in frequently. I thought a lot of people came there just to show society that they are good people by coming to the church. But not really doing anything good in their own life.

1. After starting with learning and understanding the Bible, i feel a lot more hopeful with my life. I now know that i dont have to create a world view of my own and have to carry it over with me like a burden. So instead of creating freedom for myself, i was imprisoning myself with my belief systems. But now that i have the Bible and understanding the word of God, it gives me a lot more relief as i dont have to create my own world view and also i just need to follow what is written in the bible and learn more about it. This way i am having a lot more freedom with my life and i feel great that i am a good human being and know for sure i am going on the right path. I am growing spiritually every single day and it feels great.

2. I wrote a book about how to find the purpose of my life but it wasnt any great and my thoughts were really not all correct. But it made a big impact on my life because i could sit down and accomplish something with my life if i really lock myself with a goal.

3. I have created 385 YouTube videos till date and its all about what i am learning each day. I am really proud of it and feel accomplished but still unhappy. I am glad that at-least 1 or 2 people have watched my videos and i feel good when people give positive comments. But now i am on the process of being happier each day.

1. The fact that i had no clue with what i was doing and where i was going in my life really shaped me as a human being. This was a very long journey of nearly 7 years. There was ups and downs but mostly downs and not knowing where i was going was very saddening for me. This was what made me come to this day and filling up this SHAPE form. I am really glad that i have done this.
