Today I’m pleased to welcome the lovely Inderjit Kaur from India. Inderjit writes inspiring, spiritual non-fiction that uses positive language to help people face life’s difficulties and to adopt a new outlook on life that will guide them to a happier, more fullfilling existence. As you will see in our interview below, Inderjit speaks from experience. Having reached rock bottom after a painful divorce, she had an epiphany that brought her closer to her faith and, as a result, restored peace and joy in her life. Eventually, she wound up writing to inspire others in the same way.
The four elements of life, Air, Water, Earth, Fire are the only truth which can render the whole meaning of being as a human. Are we authentic? Are we living in courage? Are we kind and in patience? Are we grateful? How we face life and respond to life is all that matters.
The author highlights all the probabilities of life that we deal with and how we can simplify, how we can add more meaning to our lives, which is the gift from the divine supreme, by just understanding the different aspects of our problems, searching broader avenues, encouraging our inner souls to seek good, think good, render good, and ultimately feel good and happy.
Hello Inderjit and welcome to my blog!
Hello Fros, thank you for inviting me.
Which are your favorite authors, and what do you love about them?
I read a lot of authors and some favorites are: Paulo Coelho, Dr. Abdul Kalam, Khaled Hosseini, Richard Carlson and Robert Schuller.
The books of these authors have been a light of hope in my gloomy days, like the period in my life where I had to face a painful divorce. The book, Leaning into God When Life is Pushing you Away by Robert Schuller has been a huge inspiration.
Sounds like a great book, Inderjit. Thanks for the tip! Being an author involves a lot of sitting around. What do you do for exercise?
I do morning walks five days a week, and I also practice Yoga and Meditation.
Oh my goodness, if that’s the kind of place you go to for a walk, I envy you! If you could have one superpower what would it be?
I don’t know if that’s a superpower, but I’d love to be able to relive my childhood so I can spend time again with my father.
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned so far in life the hard way?
That you should never give up when facing the hardships of life. We all feel tempted to give up at times, but when we give up we miss the opportunity to learn. Some people prefer to dwell in self-pity or blame the entire world for their failures. But when playing the victim we run away from responsibility. Every person’s life is the outcome of their choices in life. It’s the power of choice that makes us ordinary or extraordinary.
I believe people should face life’s challenges by finding strength inside. Strength lies in our thoughts. Positive thoughts does wonders in creating positive results in people’s lives.
As a firm believer in The Law of Attraction I can only agree with you, Inderjit! Do you have any advice for other indie authors?
Work on your craft, write from your heart, read a lot, and polish your manuscript the best you can. Last, with all the above, exercise patience!
Great advice! I also think patience is key, as well as perseverance. If you could choose another profession, what would that be?
I would have loved to be a college teacher. I love to teach. Back in school I loved Zoology and Chemistry… I gave up my plans to get a degree in Chemistry due to marriage.
How would you like to be remembered?
I don’t know how I’m going to end up in life, but I’d love it if, someday, an author wrote my memoir and finished the book with the words, “And she never gave up.”
I love that! Would you tell us a little about that place you love visiting for a walk? And do you have more pictures to show us? It’s magical!
(*laughs*) Yes, it’s a place on the hills not too far from where I live. It’s caled Matheran. I don’t visit it every day, but I try to go as often as I can.
Such an enchanting place! Have you brought any other photos to show us?
Two more… My bookshelf and my workstation at home.
Thank you for sharing these images from your home, Inderjit. They are lovely, and equally serene, as one would expect of you. It’s been a pleasure having you here today. Thank you for your time!
Thank you very much, Fros. I appreciate this opportunity.
