FOOD FOR THOUGHT

COMMITMENT IS GIVING OUT ALL 110% WITHOUT ANY SECOND THOUGHT, 110% PASSIONATE ABOUT THE COMMITMENT, DREAMS, GOALS, TARGETS. THIS HOLDS GOOD FOR ALL AREAS OF LIFE - WORK, RELATIONSHIP, SPIRITUALITY, AND HEALTH. COMMITMENT DEMANDS MOVING BEYOND ONE’S CAPACITY, BEYOND ONE’S IMAGINATION, BEYOND THOUGHTS – MIND - FEELING, BEYOND COMFORT ZONE. ONE CAN EITHER CHASE ONE'S DREAM ZONE OR CAN SIMPLY ENJOY THE COMFORT ZONE IN WHICH ONE IS LIVING. BOTH ZONES CAN'T CO-EXISTS. COMFORT ZONE IS SAFE, SECURE, CERTAIN WHILE DREAM ZONE IS UNSECURE, UNCERTAIN BUT PROMISES HIGH ENERGY, GROWTH, UNLIMITED POTENTIAL, UNLIMITED REWARDS. THE ONLY WAY TO SUSTAIN IN DREAM ZONE OR COMMITMENT ZONE IS BY BURNING BOATS MEANING BURNING COMFORT ZONE AND FOCUSING ON COMMITMENT ZONE.

PAINTER HAS TO IMAGINE HIS CREATION IN MIND BEFORE PAINTING IT, SIMILARLY ONE HAS TO DREAM BEFORE MAKING IT A REALITY. PAINTING CREATED BY PAINTER MAY OR MAY NOT BE AS  CLOSE AS TO PAINTER'S IMAGINATION, BUT PAINTER HAS TO FOLLOW ALL THE PROCESS REQUIRED IN MAKING OF PAINTING BEFORE FINAL OUTCOME, SIMILARLY ONE HAS TO DO WHAT IT'S NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ACHIEVE ONE'S DREAM. ONE MUST HAVE TO FOLLOW ALL  THE NECESSARY STEPS IN COURSE OF ACHIEVING DESIRED DREAMS. ONE HAS TO FOLLOW IT  WITH PERSISTENCE AND WITH PASSION, THERE IS NO SHORTCUTS, EACH AND EVERY PROCESSES LEADS ONE STEP CLOSE TO FINAL OUTCOME. ONE MUST IMAGINE SUCCESS AND THEN WORK TOWARDS SUCCESS OF THAT IMAGINATION.

DO KARMAS WITH RIGHT INTENTIONS AND RESULTS WILL FOLLOW. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOT TO KEEP EXPECTATIONS OF RESULTS AS ONE DOES NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER IT. IF ONE TAKES RIGHT AND TIMELY ACTIONS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTIONS THERE IS NO LOOKING BACK. EACH ACTIONS MATTERS AS IT MOVES STEP BY STEP TOWARDS THE DECIDED PATH. ONE MUST MANAGE ACTIONS AS ACTIONS GENERATES ENERGIES, ACTIONS SHAPES MIND IMAGES, ACTIONS CHASES DREAMS, ACTIONS CREATES MOMENTUM, ACTIONS BREAKS THE BARRIERS, ACTIONS ATTRACTS PERSISTENCE, ACTIONS BEGINS REACTIONS, ACTIONS DEFINES OUTCOME, ACTIONS ESCORTS RESULTS, ACTIONS LEADS SUCCESS, ACTIONS BUILDS FUTURE.

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.

BY THINKING AND PLAYING SMALL WE LIMIT OUR OWN  C APACITY TO GROW, GROW TO NEXT LEVEL. WE AS A HUMAN BEING, NOTHING SEEMS TO BE IMPOSSIBLE BUT ALL OUR POSSIBILITIES ARE DEFINED OR RATHER CONFINED BY OUR MIND'S LIMITED BELIEF SYSTEM. WE REMAIN CONTENT OR RATHER LAZILY CONTENT ABOUT OUR PERFORMANCE, OUR INPUTS, AND OUR RESULTS. BECAUSE OF OUR SMALL DREAM AND SMALL PLAY, WE HARDLY COULD MAKE A FOOT PRINT WITHIN OUR OWN FAMILY OR EXTENDED FAMILY. BY THIS WE UNDERESTIMATE OUR POTENTIAL AND WE NOT ONLY DEPRIVE OUR SELF BUT ALSO TO THE WORLD FROM THE FRUITS OF OUR TRUE POTENTIALS. AS A MAN OF ACTION WE MUST DREAM BIG ENOUGH AND A CONTINUOUS PURSUIT TOWARDS OUR DREAM BENEFITING LARGER MASS OF PEOPLE, SERVING THE HUMANITY AND THE WORLD.

ONE HAS NO POWER TO CHANGE PAST OR PREDICT FUTURE. BY LIVING IN PAST OR FUTURE ONE SHATTERS SELF-CONFIDENCE, COMPROMISES PRESENT, UNABLE TO GIVE JUSTICE TO THE PRESENT TIME AND ULTIMATELY JEOPARDISES PRESENT. ONE MUST NOT REGRET PAST, IN FACT ONE MUST MOVE FORWARD AND CHERISH LESSONS LEARNED. ONE MUST NOT FEAR FUTURE AS IT MIGHT BECOME REALITY, IN FACT ONE MUST PLAN THE FUTURE AND BUILD IT TO REALITY. ONE MUST LIVE IN PRESENT BY KEEPING IN MIND LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST AND TO BUILD BETTER FUTURE. PRESENT IS A BRIDGE BETWEEN PAST & FUTURE, ONE MUST DRIVE ON THIS BRIDGE HAPPILY BY ENJOYING EACH MOMENTS, THERE IS NO WAY BACK AND THERE IS NO SHORTCUT TO WAY AHEAD, ONE NEEDS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PEACE OF MIND.

WELL KNOWN ENEMIES OF HUMAN NATURE ARE EGO & ASSUMPTION. BOTH OF THEM BLIND EYES OF HUMAN AND DOES NOT ALLOW TO THINK BEYOND, TO THINK OF THE OTHER PERSPECTIVES OR ALTERNATIVES, KILLS THINKING POWER & CREATIVE MIND, NARROWING DOWN ONE'S ABILITIES, CREATING LIMITED BELIEFS. WITH LIMITED AWARENESS BREAKTHROUGH IS IMPOSSIBLE AND MAKING HUMAN TO THINK AROUND ONESELF. IN RELATIONSHIPS OR HUMAN INTERACTIONS SELF-CENTERED MIND KILLS FLEXIBILITY TO THINK ABOUT OTHERS, EGO & ASSUMPTION CREATES A WALL OF LIMITED COMMUNICATIONS OR EVEN NO COMMUNICATIONS. ONE CAN GET FREE FROM SUCH SITUATION BY ACCEPTING ONE'S AS WELL OTHER'S STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES, BY GETTING RID OF EGO & ASSUMPTION AND BY ALLOWING BREAKTHROUGH - TRANSFORMATION FROM WITHIN. ACCEPTANCE OF THESE FACTS BRINGS DOWN THE WALLS AND ALLOWS EACH ONE TO GROW BY CREATING WIN-WIN SITUATION.

PHYSICAL INJURY OF ANY KIND CAN NOT BE CURED BY EXTERNAL MEANS, CURE TAKES PLACE FROM WITHIN, EXTERNAL MEANS MAY OR MAY NOT ACT AS A SUPPORT BUT THE REAL CURE OF WOUNDS MUST HAPPEN FROM INSIDE. THIS HOLDS TRUE FOR ENTIRE LIVING BEING, LAW BEHIND IT IS UNIVERSAL.  BODY, MIND & SPIRIT ALSO FOLLOWS THE UNIVERSAL LAWS. THE SCIENCE OF HEALING OF PHYSICAL INJURY REMAINS SAME FOR EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL INJURY. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS FORMER IS VISIBLE TO REAL EYES AND LATTER ARE VISIBLE TO SPIRITUAL EYES. BOTH EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL INJURY CAN BE ALLEVIATED BY EXTERNAL SUPPORT & BY LOVE OF NEAR AND DEAR ONES, BUT HEALING IS POSSIBLE ONLY FROM WITHIN.  THE HEALING FROM INSIDE OUT IS POSSIBLE DUE TO WILL POWER, BELIEF POWER, SUBCONSCIOUS POWER, DIVINE POWER OR BY POWER OF GRACE.

OVER THINKING ON ANYTHING DOES NOT LEAD US ANYWHERE, BUT ACTING ON THE SAME LEAD US CLOSE TO THE DESIRED RESULTS. UNLESS WE ACT WE WILL NOT KNOW HOW THINGS WORKS in reality AND WE ALSO GET SUFFICIENT TIME TO CORRECT IT IN CASE IT'S GOING WRONG OR AWAY FROM WHAT WAS THOUGHT. NONSTRATEGIC THINKING  IS CREATION OF RESULTS IN MIND AND PLAYING IN AND AROUND IT, IT'S JUST A DAY DREAMING. THIS CAN ALSO LEAD TO PROCRASTINATION. WE NEED TO start acting oN THE THINGS WE ALWAYS WANT TO DO, MANTRA IS JUST DO IT !! just act !!

THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH & BEAUTY IS A SPHERE OF ACTIVITY IN WHICH WE ARE PERMITTED TO REMAIN CHILDREN ALL OUR LIVES ALBERT EINSTEIN I refrain myself from interpreting Albert Einstein, allowing my child quality to take over me, today I am more curious to learn and understand from Tagore and Bean the real and deeper meaning !! "Beauty is in the ideal of perfect harmony which is in the Universal Being; Truth is the perfect comprehension of the Universal Mind" Rabindranath Tagore    "In pursuit of truth & beauty, one must be innocent, naive, willing to believe, longing to understand and appreciate, etc. a child embodies all of these characteristics. a child is not only trusting to a fault, but at the same time is desperate to know the truth. when einstein says we are permitted to be children in the pursuit of truth & beauty, he recommends that we keep our minds open to new possibilities, remain accepting of different views and crave knowledge in addition to unders...

LIFE IS ALL ABOUT EXPLORING POSSIBILITIES AND POTENTIALS. IT'S A STEP BY STEP LEARNING. ALL KNOWLEDGE IS AVAILABLE IN UNIVERSE WHICH NEEDS TO BE DECODED IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND AND ACT UPON IT.  THIS DECODED INTERPRETATION VARIES FROM TIME TO TIME, PERSON TO PERSON & SITUATION TO SITUATION. IT'S PURELY DEPENDENT ON THE STATE OF MIND AT GIVEN TIME. RESULTS FROM THE ACTIONS MAY NOT GIVE SATISFACTORY RESULTS, FOR WHICH REINTERPRETATION AND RE-ACTION IS MUST. ANY MISTAKE IN INTERPRETATION LEADS TO WRONG ACTION. IT BECOMES A SERIES OF INTERPRETATIONS & ACTIONS, SUCH PROCESS SLOWLY LEADS TO INTENDED RESULTS. THIS INTER-ACTION PROCESS IS BOON FOR INNOVATIONS AND DISCOVERIES, HIGHER THE APPLICATION FREQUENCY, STRONGER THE CONNECTION WITH UNIVERSE AND QUICKER THE TURN AROUND TIME FOR THE INTER-ACTION PROCESS.  

ONE HAS TO JUST KEEP SIMPLY SMILING AT ANY GIVEN SITUATION AND ALLOW IT TO PASS HAPPILY. THIS IS VERY SIMPLIFIED WAY OF LIFE BUT OUR MIND COMPLICATES IT BY SEARCHING HAPPINESS EXTERNALLY, FROM MATERIAL POSSESSIONS, SLOWLY CREATING SERIES OF DISSATISFACTION AND CONFUSION, HIDING THE UNDERLYING FACT THAT HAPPINESS CAN NOT BE BROUGHT FROM OUTSIDE OR CAN NOT BE STEALED FROM SOMEWHERE. ONE MUST SURRENDER TO ONESELF AND DIVE DEEP WITHIN, ONE MUST ACCEPT UNDERLYING FACTS OF LIFE AND MUST CHOOSE BLISS OF HAPPINESS.

SIMPLICITY IS NEUTRALITY. IT DOES NOT PROVOKE ANY NEGATIVE EMOTIONS WITHIN & IN OTHERS MIND. NEGATIVE EMOTIONS LIKE PRIDE, JEALOUSY, COMPARISONS, CRUELTY, RUDENESS, ATTACHMENTS, IGNORANCE, COMPLEXITY. SIMPLICITY IS HUMILITY, DETACHMENT &  cOMPASSION. iT BRINGS CLARITY, CLARITY FOR SOPHISTICATION, CREATIVITY, BRILLIANCE, INTELLIGENCE TO CHOOSE RIGHT PATH, PATH TO DIVINE SIMPLICITY.

SUCCESS AND FAILURES ARE BASED ON THE ACTIONS WE TAKE. NO ACTION - NO RESULTS. JUST BY THINKING IN MIND AND CREATING FEELINGS AROUND THE THOUGHTS DOES NOT LEAD TO ANY KIND OF RESULTS. IT MAY BE CONSIDERED AS A DAYDREAM OR KHAYALI PULAO OR WISH OR LACK OF IMPLEMENTATION OR INCAPABILITY OR TOO HIGH EXPECTATIONS OR TOO LOW INTENTIONS OR NO BURNING DESIRES OR NO PASSION OR LACK OF SELF-CONFIDENCE OR TARGETS WITHOUT DEFINITE ACTIONS. A PERFECT DAY, A COUNTABLE DAY, CAN'T BE EXPECT TO HAPPEN WITHOUT DEFINITE INTENDED PLANS, EVEN THE UNIVERSAL POWER CAN ONLY GET ATTRACTED TO MIND & BODY WHICH ARE AT HIGHER LEVELS, ONLY RIGHT INTENDED ACTIONS CAN TAKE MIND & BODY TO HIGHER LEVELS. EXECUTION IS THE KEY IN CREATING AN AWESOME DAY !!

THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS TO ACCOMPLISHMENTS, THERE ARE SYSTEMATIC PROCESSES INVOLVED. THESE PROCESSES MAY LEAD TO POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE RESULTS, THERE CAN'T BE ANY GUARANTEE. THESE PROCESSES EVOLVE WITH TIME, EXPERIENCE AND STATE OF MIND . SO WILL THE RESULTS . THE TURN AROUND TIME FROM EVOLVING OF THE PROCESS TO THE END RESULTS CAN BE INFLUENCED TO SOME EXTEND . HOW? IS IT IN ONE'S POWER? IN REALITY? YES, BUT NOT THE FRUITS. THIS POWER IS IN PASSION, PASSION FOR KARMA, PASSION FOR EXECUTION OF KARMA, PASSION FOR BELIEFS WHICH SOW'S KARMA. THIS PASSION RUNS ON THE ENGINE OF LOVE, LOVE FOR SELF, SOUL, HUMANITY, MIND, CONSCIOUS, THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, DECISIONS & OUTCOMES. LOVE ACTS AS A FUEL TO KEEP FIRE IN THE BELLY. THE PERFECT WINNING FORMULA.

MISERY ACT AS MYSTERY FOR HUMAN MIND. FIRST HUMAN MIND CREATES EAGERNESS FOR THE POSSESSION OF WORLDLY MATERIALS, THAN BUILDS EXPECTATIONS AROUND IT, LATER PARTICIPATES IN RAT RACE, ONCE IN POSSESSION LOSSES INTEREST AND CREATES ANOTHER EXPECTATION, IF UNABLE TO POSSESS THAN GIVES BIRTH TO DISSATISFACTION. THIS BECOMES A NEVER ENDING VICIOUS CIRCLE WITH HANGING LOOPS OF DISSATISFIED DESIRES. THIS LONGING CLUELESS MIND REMAINS ENTANGLED & SURROUNDS IT WITH EXPECTATIONS LEADING TO ENIGMA.

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.

our conscious knows the right ways for us, but our mind overpowers & ignores our inner voice.  our ego does not allow us to be agile & to pursue different perspective of our surroundings and life in general. it's important to build trust & friendship with our consciousness which gives space for love to grow. pure love for consciousness is true succumb to conscious - to soul - to universe - to ultimate. ATTRACTING universe wayS FOR LIFE, our way no longer exists. the universe is the way !!

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.  

ONE MUST NOT GET ENTANGLE EMOTIONALLY TO EVERYTHING EVERY-TIME. ONE MAY HAVE TO BECOME PRACTICAL FOR PEACE OF MIND. DON'T LET OUR THOUGHT AND PEOPLE OVER POWER US. SOMETIMES BEST SOLUTION IS TO LET GO OF THINGS & DON'T ALLOW EGO TO PLAY AROUND. EMOTIONS ARE INHERENT TO HUMAN ATTRIBUTE AND THEY SHOW UP NATURALLY. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT WHERE AND WHEN DO WE ALLOW IT TO SHOW UP OUTSIDE. ONE HAS TO PRACTICE TO CHANNELISE EMOTIONS, CONVERT & UTILISE IT IN OTHER AREA OR FORM. SMARTNESS IS NOT IN REACTING EMOTIONALLY BUT IN REFRAINING, LOGICALLY ANALYSING, AND THEN DOING RIGHT THINGS.
