Plethora of thoughts

Hello Readers!

 

Hope you are doing well.

  

I want to see this situation as placid, whatever we are going through right now.

 

It is definitely taking a toll on us, and why is that? Yes the static state, locked out in our homes, working remotely and balancing the home front while trying to comfort the people around us.

 

But I ought to put out a few lines in this one which is actually the direction we all need to think is what I believe it is required.

 

The basic notion in this world called the “negative affinity” is essential to understand. 

 

Imagine you are a magnet and your mind is the south pole, so you keep getting attracted to the north pole for the ironical since I am going to call it the negativity.

 

So it is very typical to get influenced to negatives which happen around us.

 

How can you change this? Start becoming a realist instead of leaning towards too much positive or otherwise.

 

The Cyclone:

 

Just like a cyclone whirls and grows, our thoughts too multiply, well when I say thoughts I am not going to differentiate whether they are good or bad, you know your dreams I want to keep it personal.

 

Evaluate the percentage of thoughts that swirl in your mind, how many are upbeat and otherwise!

 

Well, the quotient of those thoughts is actually who you are.

 

So you are always sitting amongst windy weather in your mind what does this do to you? The answer is a haze of dust and disturbance, in whatever you try to do.

 

The squall:

 

When the cyclone is forming in a distance place usually near to a beach, it erupts a large number of particles from land and sea.

This is called squall, or we know it as gust.

 

Think about that gust as the growing thoughts in your mind, and snowballs into a cyclone in no time!

 

On a personal note, I have travelled through some really gruesome gusty roads in my mind, which made me take such decisions which led to stumbling upon deep canyons and valleys and falling inside them.

 

That is when I started contemplating why did this happen?

 

To my fascination, I saw tens and thousands of people fallen and lost in the same valley of moroseness and forgot just like me, how to come out of this valley and get back on the right road.

 

Let us retrospect a little bit, why did we end up like this.

 

Is it because you do not have control over your thoughts which leads to decisions which affect you?

 

Actually, if you look into it intensively, it is a cause and effect is what it is!

 

There are reasons those thoughts float in your brain.

 

You are the product of your environment around, and that is what decides your thoughts most of the times.

 

Unless you learn to control which are the thoughts matter to you and don’t, you might start that cyclone in your mind.

 

Why does it matter what goes in your mind?

 

Have you felt recently or anytime in the past that you did something without looking at the after-effects and later realised that it was too hasty!

 

Well, that Is precisely what a cyclone does to you.

Random thoughts popping up and you making decisions based on those is for sure disastrous.

 

Well, that is the crux, you end up making decisions in life based on your previous experience or replicating your thoughts.

 

That doesn’t work all the time as each situation is new!

 

We all are in uncertain time whose conclusion is unclear, so there will be highs and lows in whatever you are doing and whichever profession you are into or maybe in your personal life too.

 

 Feeling dissatisfied, disheartened, frustrated and ending up in a tropical storm of thoughts is natural and very normal.

 

Try to be calm, manage the situation, fight for it, enjoy the moment whatever negativity you keep experiencing try to spin off into positivity, keep your options open to keep trying and take calculated risks.

 

Jumping the gun is not at all the right thing to do.

 

Take decisions which makes sense and which won’t let you look back at them later in pale eyes and realising your blunder.

 

We are all in this journey together, we should all fly like a single bubble and exchange our views, keep your doors of communication open so that we understand what is going on in our lives and try to find ways to resolve our petty problems.

 

Lastly give back to society, that gives you peace, donate wherever you can, and whatever you can, that is divine! For sure you will get energy when you do so.

 

“It is a tough thing to understand, but you will come to learn in time that nothing in the universe has power over you until you allow it to exercise such a power.”

-Karma Yoga

 

Hope this blog helps you to come out of any confusions you are going through during this uncertain time and make you a little light-hearted calm the cyclone in your mind.

 

Awaiting your feedback.

 

Thanks a lot, your time, enjoy the rest of your day.

Symphony of Synergy

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing well.

The world moves on whatever happens ,survival of the fittest is the norm and COVID has proved this and is continuing to show each passing day.

When you even think towards innovation consider yourself a class apart and don’t stop.

-Anonymous

 I have always felt that innovation and creativity is above all skills, which is prevalent in this world.

If you ask me, why do I feel innovation and creativity is above all skills.

Well, it is not tough to answer this question, let me narrate a small story.

There once lived a man in the United States who was bent on making the lives of the labour class a bit easy he tried to do that by inventing machines. His first patented invention was the drilling machine which was used to cut rocks.

Things moved on, and he moved to Boston, he was motivated by one of his friends to invent something useful to the textile community. The result of his determination and genuine challenging attitude was the sewing machine. 

This is the story of one of the brilliant American inventors, and his name is Isaac Singer famous for his original patented design of first mechanical sewing machine. Even today, his unique design is used in all the sewing machines in the world.

Whichever  field you try to peek in, there will be the inception of how that  concept came into existence, and the beginning starts with a thought an epiphany. The end may be a musical tune, a beautiful song, a new dance form ,a beautiful painting, or a magnificent vehicle or a machine; again it starts from a mindset which is ready to BEGIN!

The mindset

My thoughts on mindset are that it is actually not that you arrive at, it is a state of a person, for example, we all have heard that happiness is a state and they say it’s up to you whether you want to be happy or not! Well, I would say the same thing for the innovation in you it is if you wish to be in that state or you choose to be a non-thinking individual.

when you look at a problem usually there are three types of reactions which can be seen, the first one just look at it as a problem and think of a solution ; the second one concludes that this is an unsolvable one and move on.

Yet there is another way, you look at the problem and try to understand why it happened at first place?  and then try to resolve it and try to ensure it won’t reoccur, well this is innovation, you looked at the problem, and you used your past experience. Finally, you came up with a new solution of your own by combining all your thinking power what a symphony of synergy!

Apollo 13 was one among the many human-crewed moon missions. Still, on the way to the moon the oxygen tank exploded, they CAPCOM heard “Huston we have a problem” on the radio. Still, the ending of this incident has a silver lining all the astronauts safely escaped the disaster and landed back on earth.

What made this possible a brainy group people both former astronauts, Capcom pilots and some graduates from MIT and their innovation in converting the lunar landing module into a command module, which helped them successfully reach earth and come out of one of the most dangerous situations in space travel history.

Monotony is typical in each of our lives, whether in your job or in your personal life, would you like to come out of it and try something new which would make you feel fresh and alive and gives you that aww. Feeling and satisfaction of a day well spent in our life, that moment is called the innovative bliss.

I have experienced this bliss in some points of my life; I used to feel this even if could fix a jammed lock because we put our mind on to it when we try to solve problems or hurdles in life through innovation.
 

Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity, not a threat.

-Steve Jobs.

Think out of the box, it helps! Don’t get pushed by people and take no for answers, pencil pushers are always around to just show you down, it is left to you and your innovative streak to spring back up.

I would quote Matt Damon from the movie Martian “You just begin, solve one problem, and solve another and if you solve enough problems you get to come home.”

Before I end, I would like to thank one of my guides and friend who suggested me to write about this.

Thanks a lot for your time and Enjoy the rest of your day.
