FOOD FOR THOUGHT

HUMANS ARE BORN WITH A GIFT OF INFINITE POTENTIAL BUT UNFORTUNATELY OVER A PERIOD OF TIME HUMAN LIMITS THEIR POTENTIAL BY THEIR BELIEFS. LIMITED BELIEFS STAGNATES THE ABILITY TO EXPLORE THE TRUE POTENTIAL, HENCE THE ABILITY TO GROW. LIFE MEANS HAPPINESS, HAPPINESS MEANS GROWTH AND GROWTH MEANS PROGRESS. HAPPINESS IS IN CHALLENGING ONESELF FROM ONE MILESTONE TO ANOTHER, DISCOVERING NEXT LEVEL, TO REMAIN CREATIVE, TO THINK BEYOND, TO EXPLORE THE TRUE POTENTIAL, HAPPINESS IS PROGRESS.

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.

AS A HUMAN WE POSSESS VERY HIGH POTENTIAL, BUT LOT MANY TIMES WE ARE UNAWARE OF THE SAME DUE TO PAST EXPERIENCE. ON THE OTHER HAND WE SOMETIMES EXPECT TOO  MUCH FROM OUR SELF IN TOO LITTLE TIME. AT A TIMES WE NEED TO BE GENTLE WITH OUR SELF AFTER GIVING OUR BEST AND AT A TIMES WE NEED TO GET MORE OUT OF US CONSIDERING WE HAVE NOT GIVEN OUR BEST. BOTH THESE STANDINGS ARE SITUATIONAL AND PURELY DEPENDS ON THE MINDSET. IS IT PAMPERING OR DISCIPLINE WHICH ONE CAN LEAD TO FINAL RESULTS, ONE NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT'S MOTIVATES ONESELF TO BRING OUT BEST FROM WITHIN A PUSH OR A PULL OR A COMBINATION. BOTH PUSH AND PULL ARE PART OF ACTION, NO ACTION NO RESULTS AND WITH ACTION THERE ARE BOUND TO BE RESULTS. HARD REALITY IS THAT ONE NEED TO ACT WHETHER GENTLY OR INTENSELY AND ACCORDINGLY RESULTS MAY VARY.

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.

THE ONLY THING WE ARE ABLE TO DO ABOUT THINGS WHICH ARE NOT IN OUR CONTROL IS TO WORRY, NO MATTER HOW HARD WE WANT TO CHANGE AND TAKE OVER, WE WOULD FINALLY FIND OURSELF HELPLESS.  WORRY WILL NOT LEAD US ANYWHERE. FINALLY WE WILL HAVE TO GIVE UP ON THE THINGS. WE FORGET TO UNDERSTAND ONE THING IS THAT WHATEVER WE CAN'T CONTROL IS MEANT TO HAPPEN AND FOR GOOD IN LONG RUN, FOR OUR BETTER FUTURE AND ONLY  TIME WILL REVEAL THE SAME. INSTEAD OF CHANGING OUR FOCUS, WE MUST MOVE FORWARD AND GROW IN WHAT'S MEANT FOR US.

BOTTOM LINE IS TO REMAIN HAPPY IN ANY GIVEN SITUATION AND NOT TO BE BOTHERED BY THE SURROUNDING SITUATIONS, WITH UPS & DOWNS, WITH SUMMER & WINTER OF LIFE. WHEN WE ARE HAPPY TIME FLIES, WE REMAIN WITHIN OURSELVES, WITHIN OUR WORLD, EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES HAS NO ABILITY TO AFFECT US. HAPPINESS CREATES A CIRCLE OF BLISS MAKING POSITIVITY TO THRIVE BY CONTINUOUSLY KILLING ALL EXTERNAL NEGATIVITY.   WE LIVE IN AN ECSTASY, AN EUPHORIA, AN EXULTATION,  AN ENVIRONMENT OF HAPPINESS. HAPPINESS IS  PROGRESS, HAPPINESS IS WAY OF LIFE.

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 !!

ONE HAS TO CHANGE WITH TIME OR ONE CAN'T SUSTAIN. CHANGE IS INEVITABLE, ONE NEEDS TO ADAPT TO THE CHANGING SITUATION, THESE ARE EXTERNAL FORCES AND ONE MUST SUCCUMB TO THE SAME. IT'S A CYCLE AND FROM TIME TO TIME ONE WILL HAVE TO CHANGE WITH CHANGING ENVIRONMENT. ONE CAN OVER COME THIS SITUATION BY CHANGING ONESELF WITHIN, BEFORE EXTERNAL FACTORS PLAY THEIR PART, ONE NEEDS TO ACTIVATE INTERNAL FORCES AND KEEP ON CHANGING BEFORE TIME. THESE INTERNAL FORCES CAN BE ACTIVATED BY DOING RIGHT THINGS, BY CHOOSING RIGHT PATH, BY CHOOSING PERSONAL GROWTH AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT OF ONESELF. IT'S A CHOICE WHETHER ONE WANTS TO CHANGE BY INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL FORCES.

LIFE IS DYNAMIC BECAUSE OF THE VARIOUS FORCES WHICH ARE CONSTANTLY ACTING UPON IT. THESE FORCES KEEPS PLAYING THEIR PART AND ACT THE WAY THEY ARE. THINGS IN AND AROUND US ACTS & BEHAVES ACCORDING TO THESE FORCES AND CAN NOT STAY THE WAY THEY ARE AS WE EXPECT. CHANGE IS INEVITABLE, NOTHING IS PERMANENT IN LIFE, SITUATION, CIRCUMSTANCES, TIME, OUR MATURITY, OUR EXPERIENCE, OUR AGE & ABOVE ALL OUR STATE ALWAYS KEEPS ON CHANGING, SO WILL THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND US. SMARTNESS IS IN UNDERSTANDING AND ACCEPTANCE OF DYNAMIC NATURE OF LIFE.

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.

DEEP STATE OF SILENCE RAISES AWARENESS TOWARDS UNIVERSAL ENERGY & COSMIC SOUND. FOR RECEIVING ANSWERS FROM DEEP WITHIN AT FIRST ONE MUST BE A GOOD LISTENER. WHEN WE ARE IN SILENCE, OPPORTUNITY IS CREATED FOR OUR INNER ENERGY TO FORM CONNECTION WITH THE UNIVERSAL ENERGY, FETCHING THE DESIRED INFORMATION AND DECODING IT FOR US WITH RESPECT TO TIME & CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS INNER ENERGY IS CAPABLE TO FULFIL SOUL URGE.

OUR CONSCIOUS KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR US AND ALWAYS SHOWS US THE RIGHT PATH, PATH TO SUCCESS. BUT OUR IGNORANT MIND DOES NOT ALLOW US TO SURRENDER, MAKES US TO DWELL IN SEARCH OF SO CALLED PERFECT PATH & PERFECT TIME. WITH THESE QUESTS IN MIND WE FAIL TO FOCUS ON PRESENT & FAIL TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR US. WHEN IGNORANT MIND & EGO JOIN HANDS, UNKNOWINGLY IT PREPARES US TOWARDS DARKNESS. BEST SOLUTION IS WE MUST LISTEN TO & ACT UPON OUR INNER VOICE.

LEARNING IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS, WE NEED TO KEEP OURSELVES UPGRADED. FOR WHICH WE NEED TO INVEST OUR TIME, ENERGY, FOCUS, MONEY IN GAINING THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNFOLDING IT'S LEARNING TO BEST OF OUR UNDERSTANDING AND APPLYING IT TO BEST OF OUR ABILITIES. KEY IS BOTH UNDERSTANDING AND APPLICATION, BUT RETURNS WILL DEPEND UPON HOW MUCH WE ARE WILLING TO SHARE & SPREAD ACROSS !!
