FOOD FOR THOUGHT

OFTEN ONE GETS ATTACHED TO ONE'S SUCCESS, SO MUCH SO THAT THE SAME SUCCESS LIMITS ONE'S POTENTIAL AND BELIEFS. THERE COULD BE NUMBER OF REASONS BEHIND SUCH BEHAVIOR, WHICH COULD BE, LACK OF CONFIDENCE, OVER CONFIDENCE, FEAR OF FAILURE, LACK OF CREATIVITY, LACK OF CLARITY, OBSESSION OF ACHIEVEMENTS, LACK OF ENTHUSIASM. AFTER REACHING ONE MILESTONE, THERE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A FALL BEFORE REACHING OUT TO NEXT MILESTONE, ONE HAS TO RECOGNIZE AND UTILIZE THIS FALL CORRECTLY AND ENCASE OUT OF IT FOR THE NEXT MILESTONE. IF ONE IS AFRAID TO RECOGNIZE FALL AND PRESUMES TO REMAIN IN THAT OLD ZONE, WILL MISS OUT THE GREAT AT THE COST OF GOOD. ONE HAS TO LET GO CURRENT STATE EVEN IF ITS GOOD, TO REACH OUT TO NEXT LEVEL OF STATE FOR ACHIEVING GREAT. CHANGE IS INEVITABLE, ONE HAS TO KEEP  ON LEARNING - RELEARNING DURING THE FALL AND PREPARE FOR THE NEXT PEEK. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS, THERE IS NO HALT, THERE IS NO STAGNATION, LIFE MEANS GROWTH, LIFE MEANS PROGRESS AND PROGRESS MEANS H...

SUCCESS & FAILURE BOTH ARE THE OUTCOME OR RESULT OF THE ACTIONS TAKEN. BOTH OUTCOME IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS AND MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO EGO OR INDIVIDUALITY. ATTACHMENT TO THESE OUTCOMES CONSTANTLY KEEPS US TO LIVE IN PAST RATHER THAN IN THE FUTURE. SUCCESS & FAILURE ARE OCCURRENCE HAPPENING CONTINUOUSLY WITH CONTINUOUS ACTIONS. THESE ARE SET OF LESSONS TEACHING US TO MOVE FORWARD AND IMPROVE FROM TIME TO TIME FOR BETTER OUTCOMES. IT SHOULD NOT MATTER WHETHER IT HAS POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE CHARGES, IT SHOULD NOT AFFECT ONE'S BELIEFS IN ANYWAYS. ONE MUST REMAIN NEUTRAL SPECIALLY TO FAILURES, CONVERTING THESE  FAILURES DRIVING FORCE TO ACHIEVE BETTER.

PARADIGM IS THE PATTERN, THE PATTERN TO THINK, TO ACT & TO REACT, TO BEHAVE, THE PATTERN WHICH REFLECTS ALL EMOTIONS, PATTERN WHICH OVERPOWERS MIND, SUBLIME MIND, CONSCIOUS & SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, PATTERN TO SUCCESS & FAILURE. PARADIGM IS A PATTERN IN WHICH ONE LIVES LIFE. ANY CHANGE IN ONE AREA, CAN INFLUENCE ENTIRE PATTERN AND ULTIMATELY THE WAY OF LIFE. CHANGE ACTS AS A CATALYST AND ACTS IN MULTIPLE FOLDS, IT'S A CHAIN REACTION. PATTERN CHANGE CAN BE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, ONE CAN SEE BOTH SUCH PATTERNS IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE.  PATTERNS PARTLY OR FULLY CAN BE ERASED, RE-WRITTEN & MODIFIED.  QUESTION IS HOW TO CHANGE PARADIGM? WHAT'S THE PROCESS? ANSWER IS PARADIGM IS NOTHING BUT PATTERNS OF BELIEF SYSTEM BEEN REINFORCED IN CONSCIOUS AND SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. EVEN A SMALL CHANGE IN BELIEFS CAN LEAD TO ENORMOUS CHANGE IN PARADIGM AND THE PERSON AS A WHOLE.

FAILURE IS LEARNING TOWARDS SUCCESS, FAILURE IS AWARENESS TOWARDS ANOTHER WAY OR DIRECTION TO SUCCESS. FAILURES ARE SMALL WINS AND STEP WISE PROGRESS TOWARDS SUCCESS. IN OTHER WORDS SUCCESS IS SUMMATION OF ALL THE FAILURES OR SMALL WINS, RESULTING IN ENORMOUS ACHIEVEMENTS . SUCCESS & FAILURE GOES HAND IN HAND, WE LEARN, WE APPLY LEARNING, WE SMARTLY RE-LEARN, WE APPLY BETTER, AND SO ON. AT END WHEN WE CONSOLIDATE EVERYTHING, IRRESPECTIVE OF END RESULTS, ONE MUST REMAIN OPEN & NEUTRAL, ONE MUST ENJOY THIS PROCESS, ONE MUST LOVE EVERY ASPECT OF ONE'S INVOLVEMENT, ONE MUST REMAIN HAPPY. THESE ARE THE KEYS TO RECEIVE THE TRUE & PURE FRUITS OF ACTIVE FAILURES.

IN REAL LIFE, ONE JUST RUNS FROM ONE MILESTONE TO ANOTHER WITHOUT ANY CONTENTMENT.  SUCCESS IN TODAY'S WORLD IS MORE OR LESS CONFINED TO THE MATERIALISTIC GOALS AND THAT MOMENTS LASTS FOR SHORT TIME BEFORE ONE MOVES BACK TO ANOTHER RACE FOR THE NEXT MILESTONE. DEEP DOWN WITHIN ONE IS ALWAYS SEEKING FOR HAPPINESS. BUT ONE DOES NOT FIND TRUE HAPPINESS IN ANY OF ITS ACHIEVEMENTS AS HAPPINESS IS CONFUSED WITH & MEASURED AGAINST SUCCESS & FAILURE. SUCCESS IS BASICALLY ACHIEVEMENT OF DESIRES, SET GOALS, EXPECTATIONS, ITS ALL ABOUT REACHING OUR TO WHAT ONE WANT. WHILE HAPPINESS IS  A BLISS BEYOND DESIRES & EXPECTATIONS. HAPPINESS IS CONTENTMENT OF WHAT ONE  HAS OR GETS WITHOUT ANY ATTACHMENT TO THE RESULTS . TRUE & PURE HAPPINESS IS IN DETACHMENT AND STILL EFFECTIVELY DEPLOYING OUR KARMA

WHEN OUR MIND AND EGO OVER POWERS US WE SEE NOTHING BEYOND WHAT OUR M&E DESCRIBES US TO SEE. WE FAIL TO UNDERSTAND,  REALISE  AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE HARD REALITY. WE FAIL TO OBSERVE THINGS FROM OTHERS PERSPECTIVES. LIFE'S SUCCESS  & FAILURE TEACHES US A LOT BUT IF WE REMAIN IN BLAME MODE AND UNABLE TO DIGEST AND ACCEPT OUR OWN MISTAKES BY BLAMING OTHERS, WE RESTRICT OUR THINKING CAPACITY & CREATIVITY. ITS IMPORTANT TO REMAIN IN THE LEARNING & LISTENING MODE, KEEP MARCHING FORWARD BY KILLING THE STAGNATION.

AGE IS JUST A NUMBER, REFLECTING PHYSICAL STATE OF A PERSON. MENTAL AGE IS DEFINED BY THE PERSON'S STATE OF MIND & CAN BE MEASURED BY ONE'S ACTION OR BEHAVIOUR OR CONDUCT. ABC IS DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE THOUGHTS (T-F-A-R) & THINKING CAPABILITY. TC IMPROVES WITH AWARENESS & EXPERIENCE, RESULTING IN MATURE & STABLE THOUGHTS BASED ON LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF THE TASKS OR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDERTAKEN & DELIVERED.  

WORRY IS ONE FORM OF FEAR, FEAR OF UNCERTAINTY, FEAR OF FUTURE, FEAR OF FAILURE, FEAR OF DISBELIEF IN ONESELF, LACK OF CONFIDENCE, GUILTY OF NOT GIVEN 100%, IN SHORT FEAR IS ROAD-MAP TO BE UNSUCCESSFUL. IF WE OBSERVE MINUTELY SUCCESS & FEAR CAN NOT GO HAND IN HAND. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE THOSE WHO ARE FEARLESS. THINK WISELY AND ABANDON ALL WORRIES AND FEARS.
