Sunny as a – Trainer

This was a terrific learning experience for Sunny. He felt that Genetic brain profiling is a mind-blowing tool to understand a person better. The trainings for this are given to parents, teachers, and students to know each other better. An innovative apporach towards human connect through the scientific method knowing the mindset of a person. He feels honoured to be personally trained by Sri Rathinawamy, the owner at Midna Global.
Difficulties in his life
There have been several incidents when he fell but he has the courage to make a stronger comebackeach time and rebuilding himself. Following the philosophies of acceptance and picking the blessings from the experiences of life and surrender to God’s will are such traits which truly defines him as a Genetic profiling Consultant. He failed during his school days from being a topper to suddenly year repeat, this was a major setback for him that too at a tender age but he overcame it gracefully. Further, there was a time in his life when he was jobless but he chooses to volunteer with Navjyoti Foundation, later on he realised the power of his decisions which channelized his young energies in a positive manner. While helping his dad in business he had to bear losses but yes, he learnt the vital lesson of his life. Sunny never sat heart-broken as he feels that life is a blessing, we need to be thankful and make the best of it.
Sunny’s approach to life
Sunny Nagpal takes sessions in various schools for the upliftment of the kids. Aha! education also enrols parents and kids for regular sessions, it has been a year since its inception and within one year they have reached 11 schools in 10 cities, 4 states, and 1 Union territory through various programs. Therefore, it has been quite a fulfilling journey for him.
This was a completely new scope and learning in his life as he could see results. He traveled to almost all metro cities in India with different teams and helped around 50000 families to understand themselves first and then their kids and other members. This brought in harmony, peace, and enlightenment within.
Our younger generations, who are following us in every step these kids are engaged in many activities and are a part of the rat race. Therefore, it is important to stop them and teach them 
about self-transformation, or else they will never be able to find their true passion and potential. For life long they will only keep running like their elders and deviate far from the route of being happy.
Sunny Nagpal plays a vital role in teaching parents, teachers, and kids about self-transformation, as he believes that every day is a new opportunity, so instead of complaining let’s evolve, grow, and win life with flying colors and in the process never forget to smile.
His Books
Mr. Nagpal, is also an author and has written a book about self-love as when one an individual learns to love himself only then he falls in love with the other things in his life. Sunny says that “life is nature’s gift to us and what we do with it is our gift to God”. We must accept it with open arms, as the blessings come to us in different forms and packages, which must be embraced with the whole heart.
Navjyoti India Foundation
It was one of the biggest opportunity and learning phases of Sunny’s life. In 2009, He joined Navjyoti India Foundation, a non-profit organization run by 16 serving officers of Delhi Police with a mission to work with the Vulnerable section of society. Dr. Kiran Bedi was one of the leading officers under whom Sunny took his training, a very inspiring journey.
The kids here were beyond luxury and comforts of life. Their happiness was not restricted to name, fame, or luxury but in gaining knowledge and interacting. It was surprising for Sunny but he remembered that a great saint had said that happiness does not depend on what you get, but it depends on what you can give, and now he believes it too.
Navjyoti India
Foundation’s base was 3S and 3H. Shiksha, Sanskar, and Skills. Head, heart, and hands. They gave a value-based education.
Intel program 2010
This program was unique and included 21st-century skills, which was meant to solve community problems. The program was lead by the kids, who made presentations for the community and for the government officials. Children got the opportunity to voice the issues as a class 4 kid spoke about Swach Bharat Abhiyan. Others spoke on very sensitive topics like drug abuse, domestic violence, and the importance of education. These were all very important touchpoints that India is facing.
Central Chinmaya Mission Trust Education Cell (2018-2020)
Later he joined the governing body of Central Chinmaya Mission Trust Education Cell. Being a student of the school 
and now part of the governing body was a wonderful experience for him. Central Chinmaya Mission Trust Education Cell has over 100 schools and 9 colleges in India and Abroad. They run two programs called Hari Seva camp and BalSevak Certificate.
These programs were framed to groom children with super leadership qualities and they learned to be givers, as they served in villages, NGOs home, or volunteered at school.
He was jobless for nine months in between but being jobless was no crisis or stressful period for him, he believes that God will always have something more worthy and valuable stored for him. When he had nothing to do he got a cheque from IBM as a bonus, which worked as a savior and helped him survive his nine months. All this was the golden period in his life, though he wasn’t born with a golden spoon, he built his golden spoon in the pleasure he earned through these activities.
His experience with lockdown
Sunny never sat ideal, despite the situation of lockdown, he tried to make full utilization of this while trying his hands upon video creation. Each day he speaks about self-love and confidence. In every video through various interesting methods, he advises the art of living, even during these crisis times.
This turned out to be an interesting experience of his life as Sunny had been a camera-shy person and his friends use to make fun of him. But look at his courage, he made around 250 videos, during such a short-time span e lockdown. The lesson of positivity from this incident of bullying that one must keep trying, without the people’s judgment, and there comes a day when you achieve everything that you ever desire for.
He achieved and crossed 2 new milestones. One was his social media channel and the other was the web portal, he also wrote 2 books titled: “Know self, love self, and celebrate self ” and “We can, We must and We will.”
Sunny Nagpal is a gem of a person
Who never feels bored or rejected. Every failure is a lesson learned every problem or phase is not meant to criticize but to thank. Did you see how during school days every activity or responsibility 
given at school was turned into some achievement? It was a process of learning where he found opportunity. He has attained the skill of self-transformation and he wants to teach this to our entire society. He finds happiness and joy in every bit, whether it is dancing, exercising, or telling a stupid joke to himself. He very well knows how to nurture things with ease and comfort. He has understood that values are more important than valuables in life and it is wise to raise the standard of life than the standard of living. This indeed has become his mantra for life and sharing knowledge and helping people continue to be his life-long motto.
